Cheers fella, but I suspect I can't have been alone in thinking it.DA9 said:Didn’t Terry (killersbeard?) say on the Sunday night show that he had the feeling something sizemic has happened in the last week, judging by KR’s demeanour and attitude?
Take a bow son
I actually like KR, when you are speaking to him regularly it's difficult not to, his enthusiasm, (false or otherwise), just rubs off and for all the perceived flaws to the ultra rigid system, the injuries and the late collapses, I genuinely felt that the squad did too.
But over the past few weeks we've had the loss to Peterborough and Karl telling those same players that if they didn't fancy it, stay at home.
Then Blackpool happened and I don't mean just losing, the players just didn't turn up, the post match was ultra strange, including the whole 'takeover up in the air'/ 'told him we should have bought a striker' statements.
On the back of that, although the Fleetwood match which was marginally better in terms of player attitude. We had the first real instance of an open criticism of fans afterwards and his general demeanour was well below his usual ebullient self.
But what was key for me, was that during the game there was no usual exaggerated histrionics against poor decisions. When Tarique got taken out a few times, the fourth official wasn't berated. When a few soft decisions went against us, it just seemed there was a shrug and a wry smile and then we had what looked like a perfectly good goal from Ajose chalked off and.........................nothing! Not so much as a whimper from players and coaching staff alike.
The smiling face as he walked off amidst crowd boos?????
Something wasn't right, but then let's face it this is just another in a four year series of the 'something isn't right' show. :-(

"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"1 -

He's just responding to lazy journo speculation. He probably knows as much as we do as far as the Aussie consortium goes.Dazzler21 said:4 -

Richard Crawley just stated on Talksport that he was told today that a deal is not far off31

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?12

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).

What’s meant by ‘chairman already in place?’0

I assume it means the new owner already has their chairman ready to start the second a deal for the club is finalised.ValleyGary said:What’s meant by ‘chairman already in place?’

Would be very interesting if a group does have a chairman ready to go. Would suggest we are pretty close.2

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 mess0
