    Please be the rich guys please be the rich guys

    We have a rich owner now. If the new owner has money the question should be are they going to invest in the club?
  • The Aussies were very unhappy with Murray's statement that the price had been agreed with a second party, I'm told.

    After 46 years following Charlton, I'm now going Liverpool
    46 years !!! Never had you down as a plastic ;0)

    I've heard some good news. It's completely unrelated to the takeover, but thought I'd share.

    Well?
    Just that my nephew in law and father in law who came to the Shrewsbury game want to come back in future.

    Means that we can make it a more regular day out once RD is gone.

    In other news non-charlton related, our daughter just got through her one year jabs with no fever etc occurring the entire week following it.
    Just to clarify I did say it was good news that was completely unrelated to the takeover.

    ...and I'm only 40 years old
  • So the Swiss based Charlton fan is back in?

  • How do people like Rolly make the best part of 500 million while being such a fuckin dinlow, or is everyone missing something?

    I don’t think anyone can blame him for trying to get the best price for the club.

    The blokes a complete prick and his valuation was way too high admittedly, but he’s clearly taken the gamble to create a bidding war.

    It was always going to come to which party will be be the most patient with his gameplan.

    From what I was told recently, he’s been trying to add money on if we were promoted. I now genuinely believe we won’t be sold until he knows we can’t go up

    I could understand your point if he was selling Harrods or a market leader like err Arsenal ( ;) ). But we're a 3rd tier football club so I would've thought he's lucky to get any interest, specially at his asking price. If it were me, I'd be worried of all parties calling my bluff and pulling out

    I completely agree about the bluffing and that has always been a concern.

    We might not be Harrods or Arsenal but in fairness, we are still talking about a lot of money. If you were selling your house for 300k and two people offered 250k, I think most of us would use the two interested parties to drive up the price.

    Has the second bidder pulled out? The third bidder is still sniffing about I heard.

    I thought I'd been keeping track of this thread pretty well, but I'd never heard of a third bidder.

    I give up.
    Pay attention @Croydon
    Honestly, what are you like?!

    I have a hunch that we might see some positive movement in relation to the takeover towards the end of this week. My best guess is Thursday/Friday.

    I’ve also heard that we’re down to just one interested party now.

    I can confirm that this Thursday/Friday is towards the end of this week.
    Source?

    How come you're in the know with a name like @Fumbluff !?

    You must be one of the West London Addicks Meire was going on about then.
  • i think its all part of a crazy experiment to see if you can run a football club with as few executive staff as possible ..i expect the programme seller to be picking the team by august
  • The Aussies being pissed off isn't good news in my opinion. They have been in the process a long while so are obviously interested and committed and may be our best, nay only, hope. If they pull out we could be well and truly fucked for a while yet.
