I've set an alarm for 9.59 tomorrow.
No cheating from mods.4 -
Nothing on the OS regarding this thread closing.
I won't believe it.6 -
It’s been an ‘experience’. We’ve had some highs and some lows. This thread has been unique. I really hope I never have to suffer such a drawn out, mind numbing process ever again.
Thread I salute you, but your time now draws to a close. Thank you, and goodbye.0 -
Don’t think we should close the thread quite yet. Not ITK but I’ve heard that the Aussies have just submitted their paperwork.4

suppose it needs a resurrection at some point. This thread is not for culling0

This thread has seen immense highs and terrible lows. It will be strange it’s gone0

A very very very long journey.
None of us could have imagined it would get to 2257 (and counting) pages.
A lot of pain, a lot of humour, a lot of fights, a lot of historical facts.0 -

I believe we should, as a mark of respect, cease posting at 9.55 and allow Henners to take that honour.cantersaddick said:Competition for who can have the last post in here before it closes?

or I should say, 'being conservative with the truth'
my source wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
I think it's a fair point. You have given your view and perhaps getting unfair criticism. What I would say based on what I have read, is that your info is wrong. Maybe people here should just accept your source is wrong rather than assume your winding people up, but I certainly think something is going on.
My source has told a family member of mine (who happens to be a long standing supporter and somebody who has done a lot over the years to help the club in times of trouble, not a 'Beard' as Henry so condescendingly puts it - but that's his way so lets leave it at that), I think the words were 'it's a non story and nothing is happening'. I would no more make that up than any of those who are saying it is happening. I've offered that info up to the board and got a bit of abuse for it probably because people think I have an agenda - I don't and never have had. If you say something that goes against the grain you are accused of being a WUM - that's fine but probably isn't conducive to people coming on here and offering up what might be seen as unwanted information.
@DOUCHER out of interest mate, what exactly was it that your source said 'isn't true' ? Rumours RD is prepared to sell / the club is up for sale? That there is buying interest? DD process being undertaken / has concluded? Post-DD negotiation is taking place? What isn't true ? My reading of when you posted this was a generic 'there's nothing happening and all these rumours are a load of bull', which may well be the case, but I'm interested in being clear whether that was what your source was saying. CheersHad to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread. Anything actually happening or can I put the party poppers away?
Nowt has happened. Douch has turned up again to see if he can wind either Henry or The Airman up.Had to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread. Anything actually happening or can I put the party poppers away?

hope it's true but my source says it isn't and he is party to the inner sanctum - im not the one who has people wound up about a takeover although I appreciate the likes of airman and Irving hate the thought that somebody knows more than them which is quite amusingHad to skip the last 10 pages to catch up with the thread.

"So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good night,
I hate to go and leave this witty site ..." warbled Fanny Wind Trappt.
Whilst the hills may well have been alive, down in The Valley it was a different story under the Belgian's boot.
For those of us desperate for a glimmer of hope from the tyranny, there was only one place to go- to lick our festering wounds and to seek solace in the company of fellow sufferers.
And it served us well.
It's been a pleasure indeed, but, whilst all good things come to an end....
.....the Tingle will live on.

"Mum are we there yet ?"
"Yes we are dear"
"Why did it take 31 months to get here mum ?"
"Because as the daddy of this thread said,
We are in for a bumpy ride"
" So has the strange man who was like the Invisible man and never came to the Valley gone mum?"
"No, he is still the landlord for a few months longer, as ESI wanted to be in charge for the start of this window"
" Is it like when Dad has finished in the Loo and we have to give it 10 minutes before we can go in mum?"
" Yes Dear, the crap has gone but the smell lingers on"
"If ESI have been in charge 27 days and the window is open why haven't we bought any players other than Andre Green on day one on loan?"
" Wait to February 1st and it will all become clear"
" Why was a House analogy used as an example mum ?"
" Because most of CL members have learning problems because they were always playing truant and don't understand big business"
" Are our new owners from the UAE loaded with money mum?"
"Yes and No, they will pay about 55 million when all the T's are crossed and the i are dotted but they won't spend like Man city despite going to the same family weddings"
" How are we going to be in the Premier in Five years if we can't get League 1 players to sign?"
" It's like quantum mechanics, you can't see wave-particle duality taking place, but Steve Gallen will magic up some players"
"But, Dad said you can't polish a turd?"
" Wait until February1st to evaluate whether we had a good window "
"I'm having a look around and this new era of CAFC looks the same as before mum"
"At the Barnsley game, you will feel the atmosphere and know things are better, and we have taken our first small step"
"Can i say goodbye to the Sale of Charlton thread now mum?"
"Yes, you just did"
