    Pearce talks about needing the takeover frog go to through soon and signing experienced players in the summer.

    Takeover frog?
    Wasn't aware of the french interest Scoham.
    Hopefully it will now come on leaps and bounds and the whose process hasn't croaked :wink:
    Oops. Maybe my fingers had heard Yann is coming back :wink:
  • SLP with the same interview, taking ages to load so not sure if there’s anything different in there.

  • Alt right---Brexiter---likes Angie---slated by CLs Red Wedge----i like him already
  • Pearce is spot on. Let's hope he sticks around.

    I think Pearcey will 100% be here next season, sadly I'm not so sure Bauer will.

    I can’t see Championship clubs queuing up to sign Bauer. He’s good at this level and potentially a solid Championship player but probably not much more than that.

    You're right. Sorry for the diversion. But at least now we know Bob's a Lifer, I'm sure everyone would really be pleased if he could explain his tweet which kicked it all off.

    FWIW, I've heard this morning from other decent sources that the rumours regarding the structure of the deal (landlease, cut on transfers and funding via share issue) have no credibility. Which seems like good news to me.

    Only ‘seems’ good news. Fresh cream on the cake mate!

    Shock Horror, surprise surprise what a revelation, I doubt anyone else would have been thinking that!

    There is conflicting information, some of it anecdotal, but I was also told that it is a “clean” deal - and that is the only way (lease element) it can be completed without the ex-directors.
    Are your sources @Airman Brown not willing to reveal why it’s taking so long to get over the line?

    If it’s now true that it is the Aussies, then surely that’s not giving anything away?

    he's said in the past that roland has been having pangs of paranoia that peter varney is involved in one of, if not some of the bids. That's the reason for the delay.

    Being favorites for the take-over for so long, then turning up in Charton scarves and ties for the playoffs, if that's not giving anything away then I dont know what is. As I see it it's a done deal, apart from the announcement.

    If its a done deal why not now announce it?
    Could be for many reasons - EFL doing the Fit and Proper, tying up loose ends of changeover, exact payment methods to Roland etc, a lot we wouldnt know about I guess, Airman Brown would know more of that then me. It would be a stupid move to show up in club colours suddenly after hiding from limelight for so long, and then be told it was a false dawn.
  • I think the only sticking point left is how much Roland gets for the increase in season tickets sales after he's left.

    And that's all down to the poison Murray had been dripping in the ears of Daisy and Roland. Why anybody would consider letting this guy stick around after a takeover is beyond me. Richard Murray's best interest and Charlton's best interest have not been the same thing for long time now.
    I think this is all supposition. We don't know this to be facts. Not defending Murray but we have never really heard his side. He will largely only be able to repeat what Meire and Duchatelet told him or gave him permission to release. He's not an employee or there all the time. He has been the middle man to some extents. If he had not been there - things could, conceivably , have been even worse. But I (and I suspect) most of us don't know the true facts. Would like to hear his side of the story, if we ever will, when RD has gone.
    It's come from Belgium 20 who are often wrong.

    One word for this whole takeover saga.......farce!!!

    Greenhithe, after 742 pages please don't tell me that you've only just come to that conclusion?

    I think it's a completely reasonable assertion to make. Roland didn't know Varney from a whole a hole in the ground when he first bought Charlton, even when Varney first approached regarding a sale he didn't seem to have a clue. Now he lives in everlasting fear of Varney's involvement with the club AFTER he's sold it? WTF is that all about? The only person who would be worried about that is someone who still plans on being here after Roland is gone, and we all know who that is.

    Agree with this.
