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.
An entirely false statement. Evidence?
Still a done deal?
According to the legal source, it was a done deal ten days ago and still was last week. I wonder if Duchatelet is discovering that selling English clubs is, like English football on the pitch, a whole other world from selling clubs on the continent. He may think that because there are so many interested parties he can keep playing silly buggers until he gets what he wants.
A view put to me a long time ago was that he would keep being disappointed because buyers are realistic about what they should pay and eventually he would be forced to accept a realistic deal whether he liked it or not.
The Aussies or people close to them have thought they had a deal four times - in the summer, in October, in January and earlier this month. I’ve compared what came from that source with what was coming out of the process. Ten days ago was the first time both parties have said the same thing at the same time.
I understand what you’re saying but you gave a lot of people the impression it was a done deal and we all of a sudden were going to be under new ownership. It has been 1 1/2 weeks since you tweeted ‘done deal’ and we’re still none the wiser.
Not doubting your source but for a lot of Charlton fans like myself try and add two and two together.
People shooting the messenger is even more boring than waiting for the messenger.
Take a couple of hours off charlton life and enjoy your life.
That's rich coming from u - I provide facts on here and u instantly dismiss coz there not the same as those you believe - stop sniping is something you could take on board - I can confirm that when airman said it was a done deal a few weeks ago, it wasn't but I guess we can all work that out - once again, that does not mean I'm calling him out, just that he and his source are wrong

Yes, and compare that with the official line until December 28th that nothing was happening and the club was not for sale. Which was more accurate? Yet people still want to rely on the official version of events, which has been a joke since 2013 when Slater denied the club was for sale while documents trying to sell it were being hawked around the City.
Were “lawyers working to sell the club” as reported or does anyone seriously think now that wasn’t true?
Lawyers were making information available to interested parties without informing on price or entering into any official DD which involves questions and answers and further confidential information being made available - a completely different scenario and a million miles off an agreed deal and hence my statement 'if it was happening, it isn't now'. That's not to say it wasn't newsworthy but I'm not sure that the situation was any different to what it had been since we were relegated - an owner with a failed plan looking for an exit strategy but not actively engaged in a sale other than making some information available
The points scoring is so dull. Sharing the info you have is really great and almost everyone appreciates it but the constant sniping at each other is getting really old.
Agree and all the bad Jokes, lots of people think there funny, and really guys your not. Great if we had just real take over gossip
You're probably better off just sitting there refreshing the official site, rather than waiting for genuine, bona fide "real take-over gossip" on the supporters forum bud.

Agreed, lost a lot of respect for people I looked up to in the world of Charlton the last few months.

The point is that what you’re saying also isn’t true. You’re slating the club for being a joke for saying ‘nothing was happening’ which was not true, but you’ve said a deal was to be announced within the next week back in October then you said done deal, which, again turned out to be nonsense.
So am I right in thinking, by the same standards of you saying the clubs a joke, that you are also a joke?
Go and read the story I published in October. Happy to be called out on what I actually wrote but not invented versions of it.
2nd paragraph, ‘a deal could be announced by the end of the week’. You wrote that, you were wrong. As I said a while back, Doucher gets criticised when he was wrong, therefore I think you should to.
Thanks greenie but wring on what? People only accuse me of being wrong based on the fact my info doesn't accord with the reporter of choice - anyway - the only thing I would possibly concede to being wrong on was when DD was first done and when but on the basis that Airmans and red Henry's - the two seemingly accepted oracles on here - is so often wrong, I'm yet to be convinced
We're getting desperate here. Going on the principle of whoever is in the posh seats is a potential takeover candidate... I notice an empty seat. So we are being taken over by Harry Houdini!

Empty seats at Charlton? Now we know you're making things up.

Do you have a source, or is it just something you've 'worked out', as a matter of interest?
I suspect that we (and I'm including you) don't know that it's not a done deal, defining 'done deal' as an agreement rather than a resolution of the deal.
It could be a 'done deal' but there are legal formalities to go through.
It might have been a 'done deal' but other potential bidders have re-entered the fray, causing Roly to backpedal on the 'done deal'.
It might have been a 'done deal' but Roly changed his mind.
It could be any of a number of other possible post 'done deal' scenarios.
The other possibility is that AB has been let down by two separate sources.

Anyone?

I'm quite enjoying the ride either way.
