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

    I think Varney is their man if this is true
    I don’t

    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.

    Appears so now, but so many twists and turns in this already...

    Believe the Kewell story was placed in the media by the Robinson camp, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. The Crawley Observer story is a non-denial denial from Kewell. He wasn’t their first choice.

    Robinson has known for a while the Aussie’s didn’t want him. Paul Elliott likely chairman.
    We know Kewell and Bowyer are friends and have worked together before.

    Wild speculation time: Would Bowyer as caretaker have been seen as acceptable to the new owners (Muir et al) as the new manager (Kewell) OKed it?

    Just as a side note I read somewhere that one of the women involved in the Arab consortium is worth 2.9b.

    Looks like the Aussies have finally won through though so fair dinkums.

    Can’t wait to see the back of that old scrot.

    Our immigration laws will not allow this scenario. Only full Aussie internationals with a number of games under their belt or Aussies with a UK or EU passport will be able to turn up and sign a contract.
    Maybe the plan is to move the Aussie national team to Charlton...... doubt that is possible though!

    Been mention of this on here earlier. Very difficult for Aussie players without full international playing history to get acceptance to play in UK - so unlikely. Only those with dual nationality where one of the nationalities is EU stand much of a chance.

    Aussies take sports seriously and want to be the best at anything they turn their hand to. That's the kind of mentality we've been missing for years.

    I’d agree if Charlton was a Cricket or Rugby team but this is football

    Andrew Muir sold his Good Guys business for $870k Australian a short while back.

    We don't know who else, if anyone, is involved
