If this takeover gets announced either today or tomorrow, you can sponsor me to have ‘I love Roland’ tattooed on my arse with the proceeds going to the UpBeats

For symmetry you are best to have ‘I love R’ on the left cheek and ‘land’ on the right. It should read fine.

Nice try, but you blatantly already have that tattoo and are just trying to make the best of it.
I doubt that the Tuesday deadline is actually a deadline. More like if it’s not done by then, Duchatelet will open the door to the new bidders to have a run at it. I think it highly unlikely we will hear anything this week.
I predict that tomorrow this thread will be full of tweets from people we've never heard of saying, 'Dalman has walked', 'The Aussies have walked' etc.

Your not proper Charlton, unless you have 'walked' from a takeover
Could we have the bite size takeover thread back please, it takes so long to find the posts that give any info.
In reality there's very little actual "info" as virtually everything that has happened has gone on behind closed doors, so that what we are hearing varies from guesswork and speculation to uncorroborated news usually leaked by one side.
All interesting, but hardly the gospel
Meaningless comment to be honest, which assumes there is an ultimate objective source of truth when even the official website is a partial source which has been used by the owner to propagate lies.
It’s a messy business partly because of the inconsistency of the parties involved but over the last 21 months a great deal has come out through leaks and contacts, from the identity of interested parties to the fact the process was going on in the first place. The involvement of Andrew Muir, Keith Harris and Mehmet Dalman, for example, have never been confirmed by the club, yet they are all well known. Ditto the ex-directors’ position, the offers on the loans, and the prices quoted.

I agree but " Dalman has run back to Cardiff " and " The Aussies have crawled" would seem more apt as the time the latter have spent stationary.

The whole takeover process will make a very interesting article/book after it's happened and someone can look back and unpick the facts from the froth (and fish puns). It's the difference between traditional news and journalism, and 24 hour news where you're constantly looking for new facts and jumping on any new development that seems important.
In reality the extraordinary thing is how little we know about what's happened in the last 2 years. The members of the Aussie consortium, and why they've got nowhere after 2 years yet are still trying to take over the club. Karl Robinson jumped ship FIFTEEN MONTHS ago as he thought the takeover was about to happen and he would be replaced...

All you’re saying there is that the internet allows non-traditional sources to publish information too - there are big articles in mainstream media about the Aussies taking over a year ago and they weren’t sourced on here.
We do know the shape of most of what has gone on and much more than we would have done without the internet, but less than we would if we were based in a one or two club provincial city with better resourced media who were in a stronger position to challenge the club.

We are not talking about a takeover by one plc of another plc where there are statutory reporting obligations. A private company being sold to an individual or consortium has no such obligations and consequently rumour, half truths and outright guesses are the order of the day.

Sorry but you can't fight the system.

A seat for every post we have now filled The Etihad Stadium.
Next target is The Emirates (60,260)
