    Still important information. It would suggest that someone is now ahead of them.
    I’ll be very surprised if it’s anyone other than the Aussies now.
    You have to admit they have been very persistent.

    Is there any chance that the takeover failed and it was agreed not to reveal this information as the fan's reaction could harm a push for the play-offs.

    I've wondered that too.

    I don't think the hierarchy necessarily give a toss about the play-offs they just want (ed) to avoid protests.

    I think the news yesterday that “papers” have been submitted to the EFL is accurate. On that basis I would expect the takeover to go through as soon as that process is complete. No idea how long that might take ?

    Won't take long to actually do it. The trouble is getting someone at the EFL to get up off their arse and do something.

    To be fair, they are deciding if programmes are to remain compulsory so you can understand it taking a while. ;)

    As long as the new owners don't tell them they will offer the team free burgers if they win it should squeak by the EFL. I'm quietly confident.

    They have to find the napkin with the rules written on. Once this is found it'll take seconds

    You have to admit they have been very persistent.

    They have ............ Am I the only one a little concerned as to why ? I know nothing about them, I have no inside knowledge, I just keep thinking, why have they been so determined to buy us after all of the obstacles & clauses that the Belgian has presumably put in place. They even appear to have seen off Red henrys mega rich lot. Maybe these are good things time will tell but why am I worried ?

    Surely this can only be a good thing though? The fact that they've stuck to their guns through thick and thin and now look like coming out on top.

    I don't know why 'Doucher' is named as such, but in French it is a slang expression for dampening someone's enthusiasm about something.

    And in English it's slang for washing your minge.

    Is your French teacher likely to know why Doucher is called that then?

    Boring isn’t it, just staying in reading the takeover thread on Charlton Life. Not for me, I like it.
