    I hope I am wrong but initially having seen Meire and Joyes' departures as a precursor for a sale within days I realised that this Duchatelet's Charlton.

    So it is quite possible that Roland has let his CEO and FD depart, possibly having expected a completed sale by now, and so left the club even more rudderless than normal during a possible takeover and a vital transfer window.

    People rightly celebrated the news that Meire was going and the belated admission that there were takeover talks taking place but we're not over the line just yet.

    If they had resigned then, given their lofty positions, there are likely to have been on at least a three-month notice period. So either this was planned months ago, or he has shown unexpected generosity for their loyalty and allowed them to go without giving the necessary notice, or they have jumped.
    We can’t assume Joyes isn’t serving his notice. Meire, in my opinion, has been allowed to go because she has nothing useful to contribute anyway. Murray will be keen to be more involved and RD won’t understand the limitations of his past involvement.

    One former director - not PV - said to me immediately that it is out of the frying pan into the fire (i.e. Meire to Murray).
    Blimey, that's an interesting comment - quite a surprising one too IMO. I've been a massive critic of Murray, but even so... it's difficult to imagine someone with his experience being worse than Daisy.

    Any chance of knowing whether Murray is going to try and cling to his position post-takeover, Airman?
    Put your house on it.
    How much is his loan to the club?
    £2m secured by a debenture repayable on promotion to the Premier League IIRC.

    From someone who spoke to Katrien yesterday at the club. “She said the takeover is long way off yet as they need to make sure
    They get the best package for the club and not a owner who is borrowing Money from the banks”

    Deluded...just stop talking & go know please...!!!,
  • DD has not even started yet.

    We know for a fact that’s wrong

    A DD perhaps. All DD perhaps not.

    Rumours online of a Swiss consortium sniffing around

    There were definitely Swiss about earlier in the year. Meire cancelled a meeting after they had flown in.
    ????????? Unbelievable ........................... there again maybe not !

    Yann Kermorgant or Darren Bent?

    I know who I would prefer
  • Let’s say we believe Doucher for a second, I’d say the striker we’ve had before is more likely to be Mavididi than anyone else.

    That would make sense, don't think he's been playing for Preston?

    Yann, I assume. But wouldn't it be wonderful to see the pair of them playing together if only for a few games.

    Wheniwaslittleboy said on here two weeks ago that two players had already been signed and I think redhenry said the same. Old news.


    Yann scored for Reading today.

    We'd win with pace.
  • Let’s say we believe Doucher for a second, I’d say the striker we’ve had before is more likely to be Mavididi than anyone else.

    But Robinson said that he's be 6ft & would be "in form" and currently scoring goals.............and scousers don't lie, do they ?
  • The snag - they're still here...

    Agree
  • Let’s say we believe Doucher for a second, I’d say the striker we’ve had before is more likely to be Mavididi than anyone else.

    It would certainly make the most sense.

    Oh goody! The player who has never scored a senior goal, the answer to all our problems...
