    @Redmidland I honestly don't know. He's paranoid about saying anything, so getting even this much info out of him unusual. I think dealing with Roland for so long has had an attritional effect. 
    James if this Aussie consortium ever buys Charlton I would love to meet you and buy you drinks all night. 
    But I doubt it will ever happen as I think you are being fed information. 

    I would love to be proved 100% wrong. 
    I'd even go as far as buying him a bag of my lucky humbugs.

    Yesterday's half time suckers certainly did the trick, eh @blackpool72

    Love you and Mr.F  xx

    Yes I am being fed information, but only because they're trying to buy the club, and Roland is frustrating them. And yes, you can buy me drinks all night if  they buy the club :-)
    Although I'd probably pass out after about three pints.
    Dont worry James, nothing would go to waste, I would happily sacrifice myself on your behalf and act as your backup!

    Open invitation? I'm there!
  • I once sat next to a foreigner on a plane.
    Mick Jones? No wait, was it Kelly Hansen? Jason Bonham? Oh, do tell.


  • 2013, The murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich, RIP. Andy Murray becomes the first British male to win the men's singles at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
  • The price tag is still nonsense... but Footballing people, who know football, will see just how good Bowyer is... I mean he's clearly a footballing god

    So now is the time, just step up, do it, put 10 million into the team and watch as we sail, frictionless, into the Big Time.

  • Significant investment over 3-5 years you say.

    If a deal got over the line by January I would hope the first things they do are to:

    Tie Taylor down to a new contract
    Attempt to buy both Cullen & Gallagher.

    But I'm not holding my breath. 


    No way would Chelsea  sell Gallagher and no way would he be willing to sign for us.


  • Six pages to go,
    Six pages ‘til takeover,

    And put Bowyer and his team on new long term deals
  • If only we knew 1000 pages back that this would get to 2019. How fuckin depressing
  • Serious question as I've jumped about 20 odd pages - Are there there still people rumoured to be interested?

    Read from page 2010 onwards you lazy git

    Gutted I missed page 1995. Crazy to think @ForeverAddickted started secondary when I would only have been about 2-3 weeks old.

    Just have to settle for being 2 in 1997.

    The page numbers are the most exciting thing on this thread now.

    I wonder if we get to page 2020 before the turn of the new year, the internet will just explode..?
    Everyone is waiting with baited breath to find out the year canters lost his virginity!
    Still waiting
    Yay!!!

    Those were the days mate, logging onto this thread every hour of every day, hoping for a link to the os, confirming a take over had been completed. One thing I will say is that when I was on here, keeping informed, I wouldn't have thought twice about updating a member who asked what was  new

    GM has confirmed to poster Jimmy Seed, that a second bid has been made that is apparently ‘attractive to fans’

    But I'm not holding my breath. 

    Gallagher would reject a permanent move even if in some fantasy land we had the money to buy him. He’s gunning for the Chelsea first team next season and probably feels like he has a chance with Lampard in charge. We can’t compete with that.

    My (total nonsense never happening because Roland will own us forever) priority list would be:

    - Bowyer long term deal
    - Taylor extension on decent terms
    - Attempt to buy Cullen (they keep buying expensive midfielders and I can’t see them stopping...)
    - Go sign Karlan back from Huddersfield
    Serious question; How would people feel if we were to re-sign him after a takeover?
  • Cardiff seem to be falling apart - that’s our best hope if u ask me - maybe dalmon is back in so rd has triggered the Aussie nonsense again for competition purposes

    It would depend on how soon after the takeover we bought him. But if it were within a few weeks, I think most people would feel exactly the same way. Hungover.
