    What's that? Could it be the sound of a banhammer being raised above @conanbarbarialles' head?

    My user name has no geographical basis on where I reside. The mods can checkout where I am. Let's just say all the ITK comments are false. There is a large cooperation that are interested in this part of the world but actually Roland is holding off because he wants to see where are come May. So yes he is gambling but nothing happing until May. My people wanted a quick cheaper buy but while promotion is still a possibility Roland will hang it out and get more from the the party(s) involved!

    But if this is true (I'm not saying it isn't), the simple solution is for RD to do a similar deal as to when he bought Charlton.
    The price is plus £X (say £5M) if Charlton are promoted at the end of the season. A very simple solution.
    Also, why would Murray suggest a deal could be done by end of February ?

    Far too logical.

    Unfortunately for a sad few it has long been about which other fans they hate and envy rather than what's best for the club.

    Takeover of League 1 club completed...

    Thank God it’s not us. No chance of spelling his name right. Plus “Thanakarnjanasuth out” would be a tough one...
    Thanks, but no Thanakarnjanasuth?



    Nah...More of a fanzine headline.

  • I’m now dreaming about takeovers!!

    I was in a meeting with Richard Murray complaining about ticket prices when Roland stormed in and asked me to leave because he needed to sell the club. Roland is very tall in dreams!

    In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions
    Which a minute will reverse.

    Eliot (not Paul).
  • So basically, there is more chance of the sale being completed promptly if we get hammered by Shrewsbury ?

    Sorry folks, no Euromillions win, I've let everybody down.

    Charlton results are the concept by which we measure our pain.

    £78 million is not enough I'm afraid - sorry guys.

    Now where did I put that Bentley brochure?

    An interesting situation as the new Oxford owner used to part own Reading, and still owns the land around the ground which he wants to fill up with flats...
    Thanakarnjanasuth, alongside his sister Lady Sasima Srivikorn and majority owner Narin Niruttinanon, bought the Royals in September 2014.

    The trio sold a 75% stake last May to Chinese brother and sister Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li but retained ownership of land around the Madejski Stadium and its hotel, which have been earmarked for future development.

    Sounds a mess.

    I see the Euro Lottery was won by someone in the UK 78m just enough to buy CAFC.

    You don't expect me to give most of it to buy the club, surely?

  • After today’s ‘taming by the Shrew’ I’m desperate for something positive on the takeover. What you got?

    That painted picture of Roland selling the club before the football for a 5er Feb the 24th game at home to Shrewsbury.

    Packed valley celebrating and we win ...keeping the playoff hope alive.

    Sort of didn't quite pan out that way in the end.

    Huh

    I heard absolutely nothing.

    The only things in the air were about Roland continuing to make losses as time goes on, which is of course fact. The other facts spoken about were that in four days David Joynes leaves. So we don't have a CEO, and the nearest we have to a figure head is a kind of Frankensteinian triumvirate of bits of Chris Parkes, Tony Keohane and Richard Murray.

    From my perspective I see other clubs announcing ticket prices for next season and I imagine for most there is some sense of a plan for each club going forward. Not only do we have no plan, we have no planners, even the abjectly useless ones that we have become used to.

    Am I the only person who thinks that the end of February is some kind of cliff edge or brink?

    If Duchatelet is staying on, ought there to be some kind of non football management people to run things right now, and am I the only one that thinks it's kind of urgent?
