    I believe so.
    Next season could be much harder in league one than this season.
    Hopefully it won't effect us

    Easier said that done.

    I lay across the bed.

    Mr F pulled- I pushed.

    But to no avail.

    TBH, it was easier giving birth 40+ years ago.

    What should have been a sprint became a marathon.....bit like this feckin Takeover.

    We tried vaseline. We tried butter. We tried cooking oil.

    Nada.

    Totally exhausted, defeat was finally admitted & the decision made to sleep on it.

    So, this morning, after much soul searching & lengthy deliberation, Fanny went under the knife. or rather, scissors.

    And following a harrowing operation when certain parts of Fanny's anatomy were in severe danger, the job was done. (NB Please don't mention Brazil )

    Much has been sacrificed by many in the hours spent on this ever disappointing thread.

    But, lest we forget.....

    Fanny came very close to giving her all.

    RIP hot pants.

    What the fuck did I just read

    FFS !

    Don't you recognise the latest episode in the 50 Shaves of Fanny series ?????

    Fixed that for you.

    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
    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.

    I'm quite enjoying the ride either way.
    there is more than one consortium still under consideration so not sure how it could be a done deal, whatever twist is put on that term - neither of these r red bull or red henrys lot - this is fact, from one of my sources although the info is a few days old now
    I’m not sure Redhenry has ever said who “his lot” were so how can you be sure it’s not ?

    Exactly what I thought but then he's on a wind up isn't he
    So why does flying wiki think they are Saudi then? Weren't they being likened to Man City's owners a few weeks back?? No wind up here, never has been
    You’re lying. Due diligence hasn’t happened yet (I’m rarely wrong).
    but does your source lie?
    Seems that airmans does but anyway don't want to get in a disagreement with u - seems like your stabilising

    still think its a few weeks away...........saw a programme about Julius Caesar the other night & the Ides of March was mentioned a few times (15th for the uninitiated)

    That is about as tenuous as any other ITK poster has given.

    Talcum powder works a treat - well it does for me anyway.
