    My prediction of the 28th for the sale is looking a bit shaky now. I blame the snow

    I went for the 29th so I think the weather has helped nail it for me

  • I was determined not to get annoyed by all this but now I am. Here we all are checking throughout the day to see if he's said anything yet. Surely it's not beyond the wit of man to tell us something now. Clearly not. Instead we've got to wait until the last fecking moment to be updated that bugger all is happening in Feb. FFS

    Just got a bit of info from a completely made up source.....

    It's genuinely going to be completed this week.

    (It's = the clearing of snow on our opponents pitch to ensure our game can go ahead on Saturday!)

  • World scientists are, as we speak, considering the classification and of a new era called the Anthropocene.

    The central reasons given for the recognition of this new era, all of which have been subject to detailed scientific study, are:

    1) Seventy-five percent of species will become extinct within centuries if our habits don’t change.
    2) Atmospheric CO2 is climbing at the fastest rate in sixty-six million years.
    3) Plastic is so pervasive it will be in the fossil record.
    4) Fertilizers have had the largest impact on nitrogen cycles in 2.5 billion years.
    5) There’s now a permanent layer of airborne particles in sediment and glacial ice due to our love of oil and coal.
    6) Roland Duchatelet still has ownership of Charlton Athletic Football Club.

    Although if the deal has been agreed with two parties and it is now down to the lawyers, how does that work? If it is finalising a deal you can't do it with both parties at once, so surely only one party is at the final stage or we are still a long way off.

    Charlton Athletic Director Richard Murray has said that a price for a takeover of the club has been agreed with two separate parties and that the deal is now with the lawyers.

    Following the news that the club was for sale, Murray updated fan representatives on January 20th where he said: “My opinion, and this is only an opinion of what might happen, I would say the most likely month is February.”

    He updated fans again earlier this month where he referenced because of a non-disclosure agreement he has signed, he can’t reveal the names and certain information of the parties involved in takeover talks.

    With February drawing to a close he said today: “I said in January that negotiations with two parties on the takeover were continuing well and I hoped a deal would be concluded in February of this year. Although the takeover has not yet been completed, the good news is the terms of the deal, including the price, have now been agreed between the parties and we are now just waiting for their respective lawyers to finalise the sale and purchase agreement.

    "You can never tell how long lawyers will take but I’ve been informed it should be within the next few weeks. Once the new ownership has been legally achieved, we will inform everyone via our official channels.”

    Typical...no mention of microwaved pot noodles.

    I was about to ask the same question. How could two parties still be involved if it has gone this far down the line and who decides which one wins through in the end if the bid price is equal?

    I read it to mean the two parties, rd and the buyer

    Roland will move goalposts last minute and sees which one will pay off. Is my guess.
  • Does this mean two parties joining together to buy the club or two parties in a 'race to the line' ?!
