Chizz, Dalman was known to all here before Wembley, thus the horse on the far rails with the late run is someone else. Unless you can post some actual facts.
Yes. That's what I posted.
Here's a fact: @PragueAddick posted this 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.
Dalman is the other party referred to in parenthesis above ("... another party") with whom a deal is "almost done".
The potential new buyer, who apparently emerged after Wembley, has an opportunity to advance its deal, should the other deal (i.e. Dalman) not complete by the aforementioned Tuesday.
In order, the parties are
Dalman The new party who emerged post Wembley The Aussies
I think that might be the Aussies.
I'm hearing it's not the Aussies. Dalman being given a window, to speed up the Aussies (or any other interested parties)?

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 Aussies, Redbull, Dalman and Kretinsky have all got to wait until Tuesday when the window for Yvette Fielding and Mark Curry’s acquisition slams shut. You heard it here first folks, bookmark this post (like my Bowyer will be gone by September one 😉)
I've just had a horrible thought. What if the Aussies, Dalman, RedBull, the whole population of China, members of "the European consortium", Richard Murray, Leviathan du Turnip, Tom Rubbershoes, Little Tommy Dresden, The EFL, Jim White and Simon Jordan all read this thread and simply react to rumours they first become aware of here?
It could be that the only things that have ever happened with regards to the takeover are things that have been written here, then re-enacted factum est deinceps, by the named protagonists.
Play list for Tuesday. (Sorry not a natural optimist)
06:00 Sun comes up it's Tuesday morning - Cowbow Junkies 09:00 Tuesday morning - The Pogues 10:00 Hooray for Tuesday - The Minders 11:00 Everything's Tuesday - Chairman of the board (Good sign?) 12:00 Ruby Tuesday - Rolling Stones (no significance here, but I know the words and can sing along). 13:00 Tuesday afternoon - The Moody Blues 14:00 Groovy Tuesday - The Smithereens 19:00 Tuesday Night - Josh Abbot Band. 20:00 Tuesday Heartbreak - Stevie Wonder 23:00 Tuesday's dead - Cat Stevens 00:01 Tuesday's gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd.
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.

Any idea who they was up against ?
Constantly looking for an extra few quid there, dodging a liability here.
