I do have some news that I've been permitted to mention. The potential new buyer whom I am aware of who emerged after Wembley, has been told that a deal (with another party) is almost done, but if it isn't closed by Tuesday, this buyer will be given a short run at closing it. I have not been told who the likely buying party is, and it may be that this buyer does not know either.
Let's hope that is true. I trust my source, whom I have known for a while. While I'm intrigued by the interested party I know of, being from this neck of the woods, I just want a sale done, fast, we are bleeding talent and it is breaking my heart.
Although this is encouraging news, I’m not getting my hopes up. I'll get exited WIOTOS

Hopefully a shorter run at closing than the Aussie's and even more hopefully not necessary at all. I get you're last paragraph - imagine if today's signings weren't replacing heart breaking departures.

Even if it turns out to be bull... thanks for sharing. Helps my cold bottle of London Pride go down very nicely.
I can’t see Dalman buying us without the funding to make it worthwhile. He’s worked in football long enough to know you can’t break even, never mind make a profit from just staying in the Championship.
If Dalman did not think he could do well with us, he would just stay with Cardiff, where he is already well-liked by fans and has had significant success. If he is coming here, it only makes sense if his goal is to significantly improve Charlton’s standing in English football, otherwise he is better off where he is already. This seems self-evident. So in my mind, I feel good about our chances if Dalman buys the club, as long as it is ALL of the club.
Take over cancelled. Large Addick bought a season ticket. Roland has seen this as strong validation of his recent management of the club and has decided to give it another crack.
LDT has been appointed permanent CEO, a dubstep DJ has been booked for a residency in Bartram’s and a new fan sofa is on order from DFS.

Yes, I had not actually read about today's signings when I wrote that, so I feel better all round than I did some three hours ago. G&T for me, I think

You in competition with @JamesSeed mate? Why don't people just keep their cards close to their chest until such a time as they know that the info they have is 100% verified and therefore can be disseminated.
What is it with wanting to curry favour with the CL masses when there is no real evidence to support such claims?
I guess narcissism comes into it.
Here's a novel idea. Just keep quiet until you actually know that something is genuinely stirring in the pot.

Nah where's the fun in that? This thread would be tiny.

This is a rumours page, thanks Prague for sharing.

Mine too, PA, mine too.
I did stick my wrinkly old neck out a day or two ago on the " Will RD still be in charge when the new season starts" by responding in the negative.
I am definitely not ITK but perhaps it's a gut feeling ....although that could be my IBS ( ooahhh will understand that sentiment )
Maybe it's because I don't want the excitement & euphoria of the Play Offs ( all 3 games in fact) to fade away , but then again, who does .
Maybe it's because I am a firm believer in justice, and fair play, not just in football, and boy , do we deserve some restitution for the past 5 years !
But no-one can deny that there have been more signs of something positive happening takeover wise since Wembley and maybe the Rat's 2nd in command really WAS busily involved in negotiations on Wednesday evening .
Tonight's news of the 2 signings AND of Jonny W travelling to Spain with the lads has increased my positivity....
Has RD found some loose change down the back of his sofa ?
Were these players desperate to play for the Dream Team of Bow, JJ & Stevo ?
Or could it be that with the Takeover tantalisingly close, the new owner/s have had a hand in their recruitment to enable a decent squad to travel together over the weekend ?
Whilst not certain enough to bet my house on it, I favour a combination of the latter 2 possibilities.
And if NLA & your good self are both feeling optimistic, then that'll do for me.
Thanks @PragueAddick, I've not commented on this thread for quite sometime, and to be honest, which will piss some people off, all the puns and other nonsense that is posted just detracts from what, I presume most people want doesn't help. However I thank posters like @JamesSeed and @nth london addick who try, as best they can, to keep this ever extending thread on track. We need RD to go and go very soon, or else I fear the worst for the coming season. I hope to be back and taking a full part on this forum within 6 months or so (when I'm back home from my work travels), RD gone is something I pray for daily. Can I ask respectfully that we try and keep the thread on point? Thanks
The signings so far have been "Roland budget" signings. Hungry players, but freebies or small fee signings from lower leagues who would demand relatively low wages, I don't see the transfers today as being connected with any takeover
IF the takeover happens before the transfer deadline, it'll be interesting as Bowyer will presumably have more money to spend, but with little time to spend it.
My goldfish Gilbert said he has a good feeling in his waters. I just hope the filter system is not the cause and good news follows very soon...It’s happening!
