    Even if they say today that a deal has been agreed there is still the fit and proper test with the EFL that will take five minutes.

    It's going to happen, stay calm and watch the OS

    Corrected.

    Has anyone got that picture of Roland slipping over on the touchline? Can’t remember what thread it was on.

    Definitely a hint of Alan Partridge about that photo.

    As i Said last week they have located the napkin it is written on and currently using another napkin to write "it's all good" on it

    So should be fairly quick

    Question 1. Are you British?

    Question 2. If the answer to question 1 is no, then are your from part of the old Empire?

    Question 3. If the answer to question 3 is no, then please fill up this brown envelope to prove how fit and proper you are.

    Question 4. Do you consider your self 'a bit dodgy'?

    Question 5. Are you or any in your consortium proper fit?

    Question 6. There is no question 6

    CONGRATULATIONS! You now have the right to royally fuck up the football club of your choice. Just respond to question 3 on an annual basis and we won't interfere in you in anyway whatsoever*

    Hopefully, the takeover will be announced in style. A digital version of a kangaroo playing a piano (I.e similar to Sanchez announcement) would be my preferred method.

    Not happening today guys. Stand down.

    If this isn't a cast iron fact, please don't present it as such. If it is, back it up with something.

    May be wise to dig out the old inflatable camels as well, just in case.

    Cant find a link for it, but a great article in today's Sun (I know great and Sun dont go together), but the article written by Tom Barclay is very good.

    Can you copy & paste the article on here please, RedMid?

    That way none of us get contaminated by The Sun website.

    Paul Elliott was spotted at the Olympic stadium at 9.30 am this morning. Probably just one of his many job/committees he's on but will share if any news comes my way.

    If rumours are true that someone else got involved last week then there isn't a hope in hell of it getting anywhere this week - let alone today

    @up_the_valley predicted today would be the big day.

    It's just possible that the sale as happened already?

    I'm hoping it'll be the cliffhanger on today's episode of Neighbours, when Paul Robinson reveals that he'd been trying to buy Charlton. He finds out from Toadfish that Andrew Muir's beaten him to it, so he gets smashed in The Waterhole and then torches Lassiters in a drunken rage.

    Then Steph Scully reveals that she and her sister Flick have both taken jobs as topless barmaids in Crossbars.

    Paul Elliott is at the Olympic stadium for a UEFA masters International event concerning coaching.
    Gilberto Silva,Youri Djorjaeff,Stillijan Petrov, Gaizka Mendieta etc, are all on this course.
    Before you put 2+2 = 5. Paul Elliott appears to one of the organisers not actually on the course.
    At least that tells you no announcement today if Paul has any involvement with the take over.

    Incorrect
    Means there is unlikely to be a press conference today

    Announcement about takeover could still happen as it just needs to be a picture of Flaggy saying 'Rolands Gone' on the Official Site

    its not even Lunchtime yet, plenty of time to announce

    Draw your own conclusions, but after everyone getting on the bandwagon last week because they were ITK about this being D.day just wanted to pass on information that was 100% Kosher.
