    Not much there to make you think he’s that aware of anything.

    The line in the video where he says:

    "What makes me laugh right, is just because an Australian consortium goes and buys a football club, you assume they'll want an Australian manager"

    He's just responding to lazy journo speculation. He probably knows as much as we do as far as the Aussie consortium goes.

    @Redhenry has to my knowledge never divulged the nationality of "his group" clearly as he's not prepared to break confidence.
    As much as we want to know, it's unfair to keep on at him

    Agree, let's Kuwait and see what happens.
    Iran around the living room in excitement reading this thread; Oman this is getting exciting, Sudanly things are happening and beginning to look Syrias. As for RD, Saudi let KR go? Yemen, I reckon he should.
    It feels like Jordan with these puns, but I just know there'll be more

    Is not far off somewhere between done deal and imminent, just like Charlton's standing being between the middle of nowhere and the back end of beyond?

    Richard Crawley just stated on Talksport that he was told today that a deal is not far off

    Not Far Off in the Charlton geological time scale represents something like the difference between the Pre-Cambrian and Pleistocene eras..

    22.3.18 Summary

    It's been another quiet week in Takeover Land.

    Karl Robinson claimed that the takeover was up in air after the defeat to Blackpool although how much that was about diverting attention away from the dismal performance and how much was new information is open to debate.

    CARD responding to this and the lack of further information from Richard Murray or Duchatelet by calling for protests from the Rotherham game onward, in both SE7 and Belgium.

    @Redhenry had stated that the very rich party he is aware of is still very much in the game.

    One comment, believed to be referring Redhenry's party, stated "The deal is mega, chairman already in place"

    @Airman Brown mentioned Australians and "Arabs" as being the two parties involved in an article for Talksport.

    Richard Cawley has said on Talksport that a takeover is "not far off" but isn't saying who or when.

    @Redhenry and @Airman Brown both believe it to be very close with Airman saying that the "intention is Monday" (26/3) and @Redhenry saying it's not "his lot" which suggests it's the Aussies.

    Paul Elliot mentioned as new Chairman.

    Meanwhile,

    Karl Robinson was allowed to leave by mutual consent after revealing that he has twice tried to resign. He is expected to join Oxford United.

    Lee Bowyer, assisted by Johnnie Jackson, has been placed in charge of the team.

    It's a seminar given by Accenture to finance professionals from another company. Nothing to do with Charlton Athletic (other than the fact they've hired the conference room). Although, as there's no bugger there any more they could have just walked in off the street and set up free and gratis :smile:

    Just thought the last line was amusing about building relationships!! CAFC should maybe attend.

    What’s meant by ‘chairman already in place?’
  • What’s meant by ‘chairman already in place?’

    I assume it means the new owner already has their chairman ready to start the second a deal for the club is finalised.

    Would be very interesting if a group does have a chairman ready to go. Would suggest we are pretty close.

    I think Varney is their man if this is true

    I would guess that's confidential - the person probably wouldn't want to be named.
  • Surely the Aussie Consortium should have some sort of idea who'll be Chairman too?

    Dont really want anyone bidding for the club if they've not already got their hierarchy sorted out as its akin to a bid being accepted with the winning bidders then going: "Great, best get ourselves organised internally"

    Would stink of another potential mess
