    can you say anymore on what you're hearing from the Aussies @JamesSeed
    Well I’m frustrated by how long it’s taking, but it sounds like technical stuff to do with shifting money and proof of funds around. Disadvantage of consortia possibly. 
    I still expect Dalman to nip in any day now


    Unless the DD hasn't been completed, the offer hasn't been accepted, or there are issues with funds (which is unlikely with Dalman), then why wait? For the Aussies, it has always been felt (and with some justification) that funding was the issue.

    Key players are out of contract in 12 days and the transfer market is about to explode. Waiting risks missing opportunities.

    I'm a fully signed up member of WIOTOS - anything else is conjecture and I fear we are still a way off from any deal being finalised.

    The problem is, every time Gerard gets his ducks in a row, Roland appears on Talksport saying what a terrible investment football is, and half his investors run for the hills. 
    Bollocks, they will know what they are getting into. They are trying to find the investors and are continually failing. 
    Bollocks indeed.

    But I preferred this fact.

    Arthur Guinness started brewing ales in 1759 at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin. On 31 December 1759, he signed a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. 


  • Seen a few comments on Twitter saying Takeover will be completed by 1.7.19 due to Tax reasons.

    Logical. Keeps all the accountancy neat and tidy.

    Is this not what was said at the last Fans Forum, that Roland and new owners wanted it done by 30th June for this reason?

    The forum that shall not be named have heard Dalman’s takeover will be completed in 10 days to two weeks...
    Link?
    Tbf to Reams he was right in regards to his info about his journo friend etc. Where he lets himself down is when he gloats and has his snipe comments towards this forum. Worth paying attention to in this instance I would say, especially with his Cardiff links 
    Don't know what he's gloating about , he doesn't get much right!
    Reams does have strong links with Cardiff due to his dad being a legend there. I trust what he says tbh.
    I have no idea who Reams is as the only Charlton base media I go on is CL and the office site.
    Must be John Toshack or if Reams is old now then Ivor Allchurch or John Charles must be the Daddy. If Reams is a 14 year old it might be Craig Bellamy !
    Ivor Allchurch! A blast from the past.
    Saw him at The Valley alongside his brother Len and John and Mel Charles
  • Two weeks time then....

    First rule of the takeover, its never today - maybe tomorrow, maybe 2 weeks, maybe more..
  • Weird, because until then Roland will continue to strip anything he can from the club, so Aribo and Bauer will definitely be off even if Dalman can throw bundles of cash at them

    Bowyer suggested two players could be signing new deals, which I’d imagine are JFC and Bauer.
  • I'm sceptical given previous red herrings but in theory 1 July would or could make sense as 30 June is Charlton's year end.

    The real issue though is whether there actually is a potential buyer and how close they are if there is.

    Mr Murray said it would be done in February 2018


  • Fair play to Bauer if he takes our 5k a week offer and turns down Blackburn, Preston etc, I'm sure they'd be offering at least double that. Perhaps him having a kid and being settled in London will work in our favour. 
    Perhaps he can have a takeover clause in his contract, where his basic increases or he can leave with a minimum fee to trigger like Gonez.

    At 6:47pm yesterday the same person said Bowyer would sign a 1 year extension tomorrow.
    "Tax reasons" = utter bollocks - I don't doubt you were told that but it simply doesn't wash
     either just the "tax" thing is bollocks or the whole thing is bollocks
    why anyone would still be making this shit up is incomprehensible - seems like roly's special brand of toxic deluded lies is spreading even to previously cogent sane people

    "Don't jizz your pants just yet"...how every good Charlton takeover rumor sentence should start
    This is how they should announce if the paperwork has been submitted for EFL approval

    This analogy gives Dalman time to get players for Warnock before taking over.

    Or Taylor and Sarr

    I wonder if Walter Kronkite ever introduced a story with the words, 'Don't all jizz your pants/knickers'.

    JFC is likely as he has hardly played for a year so won't have too many other offers but Lyle Taylor was already under contact unless he had it extended till 2021 ?

    I hope it's Bauer and JFC as Aribo has surely played his last game for Cafc unfortunately.

    He got lucky.  He talks a lot of nonsense usually.

    How can there still be an issue with proof of funds after all this time?
