I heard that one of the bidders has pulled out. Don't know if this is accurate information though and haven't a clue if it's the Aussies or one of the others.

Somebody did say something about the end of this week, was it @flyingkiwiDK? Apologies if it wasn't.
Yes it was me.
Do you still stick by that?
Yes
I really hope it's an announcement that talks are ongoing and that there will be a further announcement at some point in the future. I can't get enough of those.

I can corroborate that i have also heard that one of the bidders has pulled out. My source - you, just now. Perhaps this has legs.
So then, announcement today according to some on here
Haha. I think flyingwiki is about to be cast into the dustbin of history as another fake messiah. May I be burned at the stake as a heretic if I'm wrong.
Bearing in mind I know feck all, and just spend my time gleaning information on here and amongst other places, I get the feeling they are just playing silly buggers and occasionally putting out bits of misinformation and see where they end up and by whom. He will sell, but only he knows when.
Just caught up with this thread, apologies for asking but who said there was an announcement expected today? Is that genuine or a guess or wishful thinking? How concrete is the rumour? Just to add I've read elsewhere that no offer has been accepted at all!! Being out of the loop most of the time its all very confusing!!
I understand the frustration but from an investors perspective there is no immediate rush here.
If there is concern the Australians are uncomfortable a price has been agreed with a second party it is more likely to speak to a matter of communication than anything else. It is a failing which has defined this regime.
Only time will tell if it is seen to be as a matter of falling outside the terms of "negotiating in good faith". Such a position would be careless in the extreme.
The confusion suggests Mr Murrays' recent communiqué maybe his last until it is done,
That a third party apparently remains in the wings can mean anything, from merely a passing interest, to a particular strategy in letting others position the reality of the vendors position and letting others work through all of their strategies/ theories in extracting the best possible price.
It is eminently simpler to come in at a later stage when others have done all the "hard graft" early running. There is also inevitably an element of negotiating fatigue which can creep in. Such a late arrival strategy carries its risk but if you are confident you hold a winning hand then it can be a a risk worth taking. Equally they maybe simply refusing to chase the game with other options always likely to be available.
Please recognise there is no material difference any new ownership regime can make to the club over the coming two months. Indeed it could be a major distraction with the endless questions about their future plans, their future investment strategy, the status of the current managers, coaches and players.
Many will be questions they will be in no position, nor may wish, to respond to at this stage.
I am beginning to wonder whether Charlton Life needs to develop its own Advent Calendar with a "takeover rumour/ non rumour of the day" snippet to be revealed every day. And no that does not mean the takeover interests are emanating from Germany.
At this stage there is nothing to suggest our "Footballing Christmas" is to be cancelled.
I agree there are any number of items any new owner would wish to have addressed over this period but balanced against such disruption and an investment bottom line they carry lesser value.
Matters will continue to develop at their own pace. Just go and watch some paint dry for a while.

A change of Manager, a few bosman's and we could be back in with some chance... Or it could derail us.
The fact that this is literally the only point I in part disagreed with tells me your post was well thought out and delivered, it has no place on this thread

Might I respectfully suggest you've left it a bit bloody late to try and keep this thread on topi
Yeah - go back to your bite size takeover thread and leave us to talk nonsense. I kind of miss the German horse takeover.
Oxford English Dictionary announce a re-definition of the word 'imminent'.
Previous definition: imminent adj 1. (of an event, esp, danger) impending; about to happen.
Re-definition: imminent adj 1. (of an event, esp. no danger of happening) remote; not about to happen.

Not sure about that, bad teeth contribute to heart disease.
