    Spoke to someone at the club today and they have no idea about a takeover. Doesn’t seem to be anything brewing according to them. 

    Not even tea

    I’ve heard Yvette Fielding was at Wembley...
    Maybe she was pitching a business plan for a takeover
  • So @Airman Brown , if you were a betting man what odds would you put on a Charlton takeover in the next month?

    Interesting question. I’d put it at about 2/1 against, but that’s only because RD is bonkers.

    I can confirm that in Indonesia (the worlds largest  Muslim country), there are no casinos or openly obvious gambling establishments of any description.
    However, they do gamble continuously almost on a daily basis........such as every time they get on a fucking bus..............or any form of transportation come to that!
    The dog racing times at Romford stadium have been brought forward to accommodate the far eastern TV market as they have paid for the refurbishment. Think you'll find a few quid being bet on the doggies overseas!

    I'd love it if Roland took the promotion money... Reduced his asking price accordingly and just fucked off at the first offer.

    There’s more chance of me sprouting a twelve inch wang, developing an eight pack and becoming the biggest name in films aimed at a certain type of gentleman than that happening Dazzler.

    He clearly hates us, and can't bear the thought of losing money because of us. There is method in his madness.

    Full radio silence from Mr Murphy. 
    Obviously that means the sale is imminent.
    Should all be wrapped up by the weekend ;-)

    If he doesn't sell pretty pronto then that would appear to me to be an open invitation to go and annoy him to the Nth degree in his own backyard in Belgium.

     Someone has posted a picture of Alan Curbishley at Wembley at the weekend. The “middle eastern “when he is definitely Ravi Patel from the club.

     Sorry to piss on your cornflakes

    If he doesn’t sell in the next three weeks all the elation from promotion is gone for me, it will be another season of misery.

    Can’t be announced yet but I’ll give you a clue...

    New sponsor is a popular energy drink

    New catering is from a company known for their microwave noodles
    I see Carabao ads are popping up on the club website...

    Said many months that we will only be sold if one of 2 things happens:

    1. RD lowers his asking price.
    2. RD dies.

    I'm pretty sure number 2 hasn't happened, so does anyone have any info that number 1 has?

    Only seen a hoopoe twice in my life, the first time was just before RD took over, and then  I see one yesterday. If that ain't cast iron tell tail sign, I'd like to know what is...

    "2 weeks max", "no ifs, no buts", "it IS happening".

    There's a rumour that it's dipped under£40m, but who knows.

    If that's true I believe we will be sold. 
    Less than £40 million for a championship club is reasonable.

    As a rough guide, Wolves were bought by Fosun for 45m a couple of years back.

    Aston villa were bought for 62m by Xia. Not sure how much he then sold his majority stake (55%) for though, i think it was about 30m.

    Dave Whelan sold Wigan for 22m last year.

    It’s a bit like buying a house, the headline figure looks tempting at £400k but then the owner insists on being paid an extra £50k when you put your £150k extension on and the house goes up in value.

    Oh and the owner is keen to make sure that if any of the fixtures and fittings he flogged off on the cheap turn out to be undiscovered masters later, he wants any money for them too.

    It was a DM on Twitter from someone who has a contact, but not always reliable (the Indian investors for example?). He said a price has been agreed, but wouldn’t say how much, ‘to protect his source’, but said it was under £40m. 
    Of course it could all be nonsense. Wouldn’t be the first time!
    But after Sunday’s euphoric victory, it would top off a great season.

    Was that so that they can play in the Scottish league?

    Good point mate. I think things like this are always easier to grasp when you put a good house buying analogy up to demonstrate.
