    My middle son interviewed Matt Holmes a couple of years ago. He was very complimentary about Curbs and Murray, and had it not been for them, he wouldn't have sued Muscat. At least Muscat got his come- uppance in the law court, rather than on the pitch.
    Until Curbs gave him the video of the game, Holmes hadn't realised that he had been well and truly done by a horrendous tackle.

    Back to topic, what exactly do you mean by this @Airman Brown ?

    Is it that the takeover has been agreed contractually in writing between RD and Aussies, all that is outstanding is EFL approval of the change, and that's expected to take 2-3 weeks,

    OR

    Nothing has been 'formally' agreed in a contractual sense. Tthere are still things to iron out, which includes the EFL approval process, and it is hoped that everything can be concluded in the next three weeks?

    Maybe stick it in the slow cooker. Too early for the shrimps on the BBQ yet.

    I hope that is correct. But i don't know if my patience will extend to two or three weeks.

    Certain @JamesSeed will come back with the same story later, although I don’t see what stops @CAFCOfficial confirming the current situation, other than Duchatelet being difficult?
    Nah I'm not having that Airman you've just got a vendetta against him :wink:

    Well I just cycled 106kms at well over my average speed in order not to miss the beers.
    Cycled straight to the bar, which isn't far from home......and it was empty. Doh!


    Turns out I was early, and it had only just opened. Have come home for a shower.

    Can someone confirm that Duchatelet is not retaining any interest in the club - Valley and training ground?

    I know what you mean, but I can't help commenting that he can't retain something he as already not got! :)

    Check out Muscat's tackle on Zahra in the A-league. Filthy human being.

    Couldnt think of anyone worse.

    Was that his last ever playing contribution? If so it is about standard for him.

    Sadly Muscat is the Melbourne Victory Manager...

    God knows why anyone would want him to teach kids to play Football!!

    Blavier Farm. Due to be opened in May 2018. If the progress with this is any guide, there is little chance of the takeover happening any time soon. Our tour guide has been very informative though.image

    More progress than at Sparrows Lane...

    Titbit: Wyn Grant posted yesterday;
    'Rick Everitt (votv) has reported that 'A new UK company Echidna Acquisitions registered by Gerard Murphy on April 30th with the Australian Football Consortium as shareholder. Obvious vehicle to acquire Charlton.' An echidna is a spiny anteater.'

    Pity it's not a spiny rateater....

    Nice one @foresthillred

    Is the hotel progress as bad as that on the Charlton training ground? If so we will have to wait a while before going there to help “celebrate” the grand opening :wink:

    2 weeks you say.
    Should increase the season ticket sales, before the inevitable disappointment.

    Have to admit I am quite interested to find out what Duchatelet had to say to the ROT members this afternoon.

    So was it coincidence that Duchatelet was at Blavier Farm ?
    When are you going to let us know what was said ?

    There were a fair few of them during a 35 minute conversation. Details to follow.

    Sorry but if he was ever in such close proximity to me I don't think I could resist the urge to lamp him one.

    Just realised I should qualify that by saying it is probably not advisable to believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

    Now, now - violence isn't the answer.

    I wouldn't resort to violence and would take the moral high ground. Something like gently walking up to him and whispering in his ear "you're a c*nt".

    Agreed. Bit only after asking him why he brushes his teeth with dog shit.
