    If someone has been given until Tuesday to buy the club, they should go for it while the opport-TUNA-ty is still there!

    To everyone who keeps moaning about people over speculating and making assumptions - this is the thread for the take over of Charlton on the biggest Charlton spporters forum going. What happens next could arguably be the biggest thing to effect the club in history, as RD could take the club down the pan if we ain't careful, so people are gonna speculate, assume, twist, come up with outlandish posts (Seed / Chizz 😉) and so on. Let it go and log out if nothing is of interest.

    Advice hack - Look out for my posts, as they are very informative indeed.

    Now, let's all have a great weekend and look forward to Tuesday and if nothing comes To fruition then, we can slate Prago for the rest of the week 🍷
    Yeah but by then I will be on holiday, so I'll try to cope.:-)
    Just please tell me they ain't Dutch or European types

    😉

    Or Dutch with a foothold in China and Australia...

    I deal with many business deals for share purchases and mergers. It’s very rare that deadlines are ever met and in my experience they normally get set a few more times before they actually happen as so many people are involved and small bits of paper need advisers, signatures etc. That being said a couple of weeks after the deadline is about right so I expect probably a Monday as a Friday is given and normally fall away until a Monday when everyone works on the weekend on the deal. I would suggest Monday 15th July as more realistic 
    Do they usually take 2 years though?

    All depends on who you're dealing with, I say no more.

    If the rumours are true the Aussies haven’t had the financial mussel to complete a deal. Maybe they do now.

    Something's about to happen, I can fillet, and very soon we'll all be doing the conger round the car park. But nice and friendly, okay, we don't want anyone getting battered.

    Ok.. my source is a proper Charlton fan and an investment banker in the region. His role is as intermediary, finding potential buyers, under his professional remit but for minimal fee. He's a fan. He tried to come with a consortium when RD bought, but came too late, Slater turned them away. He has had no contact with Red Bull, AFAIK, they are deffo not his current buyer

    @CAFCSayer Interesting that you chucked Kretinsky in! My mate Vincent, who came with me to Wembley, is a mad Sparta fan, who loves to share Kretinsky horror stories and mull over who is worse, The Kretin or the Helmet. Sparta fans have been volubly protesting for ages (@ElfsborgAddick bears witness to that). A few months ago Vincent gleefully shared a Czech rumour that Kretinsky (who has energy sector interests in the UK) was interested to buy an English club and Leeds and Charlton were in the frame.

    However my investment banker buddy, a pragmatist, has professional access to both Kretinsky and Petr Kellner, the richest Czech bizman, who currently doesn't own a club, but who was linked as a possible buyer of Chelsea. What he learnt is that both see a football club as a trophy asset, an ice-breaker in discussions about their main businesses. And with the best will of the world, Charlton's current status does not really fit that bill.

    Thanks to Vincent I could offer you loads of lurid stories about Kretinsky, some of  which show weird parallels with RD. But rest assured, he is not in the frame. The latest, as a taster, is that he is studying for UEFA badges.You can imagine why he thinks he needs them...


    the en masse walkout I witnessed was spot on, what a feeble apathetic effort for us against Middlesbrough.

    We could have learnt a lot from these guys.

    Dalman has been about since long before Wembley. I think initial Cardiff whispers were on here back in January.

    If the Aussies deal is 'really close' and it's their deadline on Tuesday, then you may as well fast forward to Wednesday now because they've been 'really close' for over a year.

    It's being suggested that it's Dalman's deal that is the front runner and has been given the deadline.

    Is there an antidote to feelings of optimism about a takeover? I keep telling myself we've been here before, Roland will mess things up at the eleventh hour etc etc, but the feelings persist.

    Because we were winning.  I am not saying you do, or me, or most people on this board, but the MAJORITY of fans only care about results on the pitch.

    Combine the two. Use Red Bull instead of water in your Pot Noodle.

    We were relegated that season!

    The fans who kept their bottoms on their seats surely must have known the s*** that was going on.
