@JamesSeed - any update from your Aussie buddies (apart from the Ashes)?
Had a splurge of messages a couple of weeks ago and a hint that we might meet up, but nothing since. I haven't bothered asking any questions if I'm honest. GM asked a few though, so I sense they're still interested, but perhaps the price is too high to make it viable.
Thanks.
I still have a funny feeling that extra debt (not just Roland's loans to the club) was discovered on the books, so Roland now expects a buyer to pay:
@Airman Brown - have you heard about newly identified debt?
It’s been talked about quite a bit on here, but not sure anyone’s nailed it down 100%. Someone I know whose contact has ‘seen the books’ is talking of £100+m total, but I’m wondering if that includes Roland’s own debt/Staprix debt. It’s far from a clear picture.
Told you @NapaAddick didn't have the foggiest. £77m my arse.

If there was £xm historic debt left by the spivs we really could be in the brown stuff because noone will think that they should have to pay it, including Roland.
I still have a nagging feeling its more to do with what Roland actually owns. Who sold him the club and was it theirs to sell. We haven't heard any real detail about any of it other than price is/isn't an issue or it has/hasn't changed.
Anyway tomorrow could be a done deal, melt down Monday or just another day.

Can't wit 'til we get to page 2020 onwards - no doubt we'll have some very interesting predictions as to what the future holds for us all as opposed to what happened in the past!

The takeover will be confirmed on page 2019 and the thread closed down, so no that won’t be happening.
The same LDT who was AWOL for 4 months after the play off final, reappears showing people round, then actually attends a match?
Either something has changed behind the scenes and it's the new CEO and CFO or maybe, just maybe someone who didn't go to school with nor is a friend of a regular poster on here, is actually intrested in buying the club.
Sat further up the west lower than usual on Saturday and there was a group of about 4 or 5 a few rows in front of me that didn’t really fit in. Could have very easily been a group of tourists but they disappeared at half time and didn’t come back till a little after the second half kicked off. Anton Ferdinand also wasn’t far away so if all cab drivers could be on alert that’d be handy.

Saw Bob Whitehand at the cricket earlier. Not involved in negotiations. 🤔
Until then we are stuck with the prick

Charlton return to the Valley after a seven year exile, winning 1 - 0 v Portsmouth on 5 December.
IIRC both names were originally misprints in Steve’s News Shopper column in the 1980s, rather than a random invention.
