    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..
    I never knew Morph was that old

    Finance guys at Charlton Athletic Football Club - learning a lot and building relationships for the future.

    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?’

  • 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
    That's where my money would go.

    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
  • I'd point out that if you listen to Robinson's interviews the only 'facts' he shares are that he has no update. He then goes on to theorise himself about what that could be mean - could be days, weeks, months, might never happen etc. The only thing he confirms he was told, though, is that there is no update.

    He used this to paint a much bleaker picture of the situation to cover his tracks at Blackpool.

    Thought Varney said he was not involved with any bid?

    It's on the site - also says the protests could ruin it...so i guess we're just believing the bit we want to believe...
