    We can do puns until the cows come home but what we really knead is some actual takeover  mews (remember the horse puns!)

    I can't imagine an NDA preventing say, Murphy announcing to the press, our valuation is £30m. The owner wants more.
    What would be the benefit to Murphy of doing that?
    Force RD to justify his high price for a club he paid £14m for in a higher division, with crowds almost double what they are now? Possibly reduce his demands? I cannot believe an NDA could be worded to prevent such comments. 
    Again, what would be the benefit to Murphy?

    Kind of respect that to be fair - quite funny haha.

    Not everyone is going to actually like Charlton, least of all Simon Jordan, but at least he's honest! Bit weird saying that but hey ho.

    At least he doesn't pretend to like Charlton, like Richard Murray,  who is actively involved in running the club in to the ground!

    Jordan doesn't like Charlton, says so, but also thinks we deserve better... respect!

    *Finds bucket to be sick in*
    Actually Murray does like Charlton.....and very much too.
    Made some god awful blunders along the way and has now backed himself slowly but surely into an horrific corner.
    His heart is in the right place but sadly his head isn’t.
    At this point Richard Murray likes one thing... himself. 

    He is a filthy little snake that will do anything to better his own position, to the detriment of the club.

    Heart in the right place, my arse.

    Richard Murray part One made good decisions which helped Charlton get to the Premier. His ego wasn't a problem as he delivered.

    Richard Murray part 2 started when he didn't need Curbs advice on picking the next manager when Alan wanted a new challenge. Murray made a myriad of bad calls which has impacted very badly on his reputation. Simon Jordan is now rated higher than our ex owner.

    Being part of team Duchatelet has meant there is no way back now for him even though he is still in the mix according to David White.
    Richard Murray and his ego became a problem when he stopped delivering.

    "From Hero to Zero" I can't wait for Airman Brown's book to come out.

    Murray’s loan is £2.6m, not £3.5m. None of the others - owed £4.4m collectively and in three cases £1m or more - has felt the need to behave like Murray and it is not the case that most of them would look to him for protection.
    Really......I and I believe most others have always thought it was £3.5!
    2.6 or 3.5 is irrelevant, can you please explain how walking away would alter this debt in anyway?

    I'll give you a clue, it wouldn't.




    @"SoundAsa£" In case you missed it earlier, I'm really curious as to what you believe RM has to lose by walking away, apart from a seat at the table, cos history money certainly wouldn't be at any more risk.

    If Curbishley was even involved , would he even pass the fit & proper test?
