    What on earth are you playing at, Roly? You've got one job to do and that is sell the club, but you are fucking that up as royally as if you'd left Meire in charge. Get a grip you idiot: You're losing money hand over fist and the club doesn't has a CEO or CFO. How is it to function? Sell, sell, sell.

    As for B20, what's with all the cryptic stuff? I can't get the thought out of my head that a protest nobody knows about is no protest at all. Perhaps it's something Roly will find out about in due course, I don't know. I hope the've spiked his tea with Ex-lax. The old coffin dodger is so full of shit, he really does need a good blow out. I like B20. I like them a lot. But they do like to put themselves centre-stage - even on a covert mission. It's all a bit unique if you ask me.

    Unless I've misunderstood the latest situation, we have 2 potential buyers who have both put in bids? If that's the case then why would the deal be going through so quickly? I would expect Roland to play one off against the other. What bit of info have I missed?

    You have FAR too much common sense for this thread, dear friend !

    Most of us think with our hearts.

    But you think with your head !
    That is unusual for a woman to say, most women say that men think with another part of their body
    I can assure you that this doesn't apply to @Arsenetatters.

    One of a kind & non conforming ?

    :smile:
    I have done it again haven't I? assuming Arsentatters is a male, and did not read the name before adding my comment, am I wrong? if so, sorry
    :blush:

    I've just been outside getting the washing off the line and can confirm that I am not male. No man would be taking washing off the line on a Sunday. That's before I start the dinner. Mr Tatters, however, is having a nap. :wink:
    Sorry, I am s man and I took the washing off the line today and it’s Sunday here as well
    Apologies @redbuttle. I am assuming that all men are like the current Mr Tatters and the 2 ex Mr Tatters.

    I forgot to add that he also lit a bonfire before I managed to get the washing down.
    In Mr Tatters defence, washing lines do make very good taper sticks.

    Aresene is not a man! Therefore thinks with her head :)

    There are only two/three sets of people that know the value of the deal and when it will be concluded, believing anything else is just a "rumour" nothing more nothing less as this hasn't been disclosed by the seller of the club or either buyer.

    Agree with @WhenIwasLittleBoy

    Others may have snippets and some insights but it will happen when it happens.

    WIOTOS. Till then get on and live, love, laugh and be happy.
  • Can we set up a Just Giving “Like” fund for Rudders to help him through this , puts it all in to perspective

    Haven't heard anything for a couple of weeks, was told the end of the month so will treat that as the earliest date it will get done, if at all.

    Vintage Charlton .
    Guaranteed to let you down , doesn’t matter who buys us or how rich they are they’ll definitely be better than Roland and they’ll also be shit , it’s what we do .

    The above TRUE 99%. The above FALSE 1%

    My 28th February prediction still looking good!

    In all seriousness, such negotiations are slow and complicated matters. We've missed the transfer deadline, it really makes little difference whether the club is sold today, next week or in March

    Announcement will be made on Saturday... I reaaaally hope.
  • This takeover has been happening "within the next week" since November. Think someones source is not that reliable, as well as until it is officially announced i can't see how people can forecast when this will be concluded.

    Only true if there are no lawyers, accountants, agents, former directors or employees involved - oh, and if they or any of those others involved haven’t confided in friends, family and acquaintances.

    I think you are forgetting the scarf makers!
    And their suppliers, families, friends and local bar staff.
