    I think we are reaching an end game. Someone go park themselves at Nando's in Blackheath to see who walks in.

    If the Chinese become the new owners, this will become the takeaway thread
    I believe the Chinese do a lot more than takeaway food.

    One extra thing that worried me about Roland's statement was that buyers were concerned at our losses and this was making a deal difficult to close. If that's true, that is very worrisome to me. Losing money, as much as allowed by FFP, is part at parcel of being in The Championship and promotion without significant losses is almost impossible. If the new owners are really that concerned with cutting losses, instead of increasing turnover and making the team better, we may be trading one bad owner... for another. The only thing keeping me from being even more worried about this is that Roland's statements have historically been full of shit.
    I could have sworn you'd gone ?

    All of the jokes. 

    Unless you have a serious point just don't. It's not anything but tedious to plough through the allegedly humorous shit that some think is worth posting but not worth reading.

    Pretty much any buyer will do!

    Am all for Chinese connections coming in, though - ideal!

    The Clarendon has been blacklisted by all right-thinking Charlton people since they evicted Ronnie Moore In 1984 because the club hadn’t paid the bill.

    As to the suggestion that Dalman is annoyed with RD for putting his name out, Dalman started that hare running when he planted the story in the Standard in March. His interest was well known within the wider media for weeks before it came out.
  • Yes someone posted the leak came from Cardiff. Plus it was not giberish.

    When should one click on LOL? Is it literally a loud laugh even if only for a millisecond? I just gave Beardface a LOL but only for a bit of air coming out of my nostrils. Does that count?
    Was it an audible snort?  If so, LOL is surely fine.
