    Ex=no longer;
    change= a break in continuity, some thing different.

    Does this mean that the takeover is off now?
  • There's nothing special about the 30th June. But if I was buying a football club and had money to spend I'd want it done by the end of June or at the latest a few days later to allow time to meet the manager and allow him time to use the new funds.

    It would be far less desirable to end up buying the club at the end of July and giving Bowyer £10m of extra transfer/wage budget then as you'd either be too late for your likely targets or you'd end up wasting the money on panic/overpriced buys which is what often happens at the end of windows.

    I suspect Dalman and Prague's new buyers feel like this, and unless they can close a takeover soon will move on.

    Bolton takeover close to being completed

    Hasn’t took 2 years for them to be sold.


    They're not owned by a demented fool.

    Still a couple of stages to get through that are stumbling blocks with Roland maybe?? Not surprised though

     Don't think that's strictly takeover related TBH.

    Just seen your post on the bitesize thread, @Stig - it's really good.  You deserve a promote for that. 
    Totally agree - what we need is a vibrant bite size thread and @stig has just provided that. Promote material indeed.

    I don't think a post every ten months is exactly vibrant.

    Well it was in direct response to a question about the takeover so i’m guessing it was

    At last.  Some solid news.  "I don't know anything".

    Remember when it was announced that each buying party had their own price? And that the price had been agreed with each party? I've always felt that this meant Aussies would buy the club and lease back the stadium and ground for something like £30M. Dalman apparently wants the whole club and thus would be paying closer to the £60-65M Roland wants, up front. In my opinion, this is why the Aussies are still in the running... Roland is willing to slice this any way that works. The price and terms have not changed because he was always over-charging and has not backed away from that in the slightest way, it's just that we are in a higher division. Roland is likely quite happy to have the Aussies because he gets to make a profit off hard assets and no longer has to worry about the club. To be very frank, if this turns out to be the case, selling to the Aussies could be a dark, not a bright, moment. I want Dalman.
    Where do you get these feelings from? Serious question. 
    First thing GM said to me, way back in the mists of time, was deal is ‘all in’.
    Any evidence that that has changed? If it has, he’s not mentioned it.
     £33m, all in. RD then told them to pay off the directors, which in the Aussies’ eyes, makes it £40m. I think they’ve been ‘negotiating’ that very high percentage increase in the price ever since. 
    Doesn't Napa just post his every random thought on here? Wouldn't even take it too seriously.

    Come on Henners - you know I’m only joking.

    "Nothing was close enough to do that earlier" putting two and two together something happened today and the takeover will be announced tomorrow afternoon with Cawley having the exclusive interview with the new owners. 
    Two and two together as far as we are concerned equals 3.1415926
  • Can’t help but think deep down Cawley thinks charlton fans are strings.

    I must admit thinking the same when I read that. "Nothing was close enough to do that earlier" is a rather strange way of saying it.  Why not just write "Still no news" or "No further developments since the last time I tweeted"?
