Will never forget this page!!! Been a roller-coaster ride these last few years!! From the days of rumours about Harry kewell being our next manager to now!! 😂
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.
Dear takeover thread...u have been there for us through thick & thin,with out you in our lives,it would have been so boring...waiting for that final “it’s finally happening gif” was in the end worth it....(we think/hope)...too some it’s still all abit fishy,but I’m praying to cod,I mean god that our great cloob now has a future for the next forever generations of Addicks...
One day il see u on the other side....Peace out...!!!
Had 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.

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 amusing
@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. Cheers
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.
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 wouldn't be wrong - there's an outside chance he may be lying
or I should say, 'being conservative with the truth'
Thank you for the endless reads I had when taking a pony over the past 2 years, you've been a great strain on me in more ways then one! Goodbye old friend...

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....

I've set an alarm for 9.59 tomorrow.
No cheating from mods.
I won't believe it.

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.
and then come back one by one and pick off the apologists
But its work is done. Thank you and farewell, old friend.
Let’s face it, he’s not getting the promote!
