Maybe someone had asked about Marshall before the playoffs and he asked for permission to talk to them. If this happened at the end of the season but before playoffs it would have pissed Bows off and explain why he is allowed to go.1

Is it Bowyer driven?Airman Brown said:
It's not being driven by Marshall.Oggy Red said:
Perhaps for family reasons, he needs to go back up North.SX_Addick said:
Could be that Marshall doesn’t fancy hanging around to see whether he’ll be in the new manager’s plans, and has asked the club to let him go if an offer comes in.MuttleyCAFC said:Wasn't Marshall Bradford's player of the season the previous year when Bradford got to the play off final? It is quite possible he would be in a new manager's plans and strange that this decision would be made without any consultation. Unless there is something we don't know!
It won't be Brighton of course, but possibly Portsmouth?

It's 2.1K comments since I opened this thread last and there doesn't seem to be any update on the mini thread so am I correct in assuming that there is actually no news about an imminent takeover?2

Actually I know for a fact that Bradford did not want him to go but he was very keen to come to us.Addickted said:
He brought him on, late in the second half for the last league game at Rochdale.ct_addick said:
To be honest I thought he deserved to play in the playoffs after Blackburn so I would be pissed off if I were him. Thought Bowyer changed it up too much last game against Shrewsbury IMHO. A couple of those loanees didn't give a tossJamesSeed said:
That’s possible. Apparently he was seen looking pretty angry when left out of the playoffs.SX_Addick said:

I thought he looked in excellent form for his cameo role there and looked by far and away our most dangerous player.
His omission from the play off games, appears to be a bit of a mystery. Bradford didn't seem to mind losing him from their successful side from the previous seaso, so I can only assume it was for non footballing reasons. Perhaps Bowyer's decision was similarly based?

No, you're not correct. In between some of the slightly off-topic posts, there are some really interesting updates about the new owners, who the manager will be, the amount of money available for signings this summer, the new kit, the new sponsors, plans for the stadium and naming rights for some of the stands.Addick Addict said:It's 2.1K comments since I opened this thread last and there doesn't seem to be any update on the mini thread so am I correct in assuming that there is actually no news about an imminent takeover?
It's all there.

Genuine answer Peter.PeterGage said:
Genuine question - on what grounds? Insufficient funds? Criminal record?blackheathcanuck said:Abramovich would not pass the fit and proper test.
Abramovich was a salesman of Russian dolls at 25 and potless and 8 years later was one of the richest men in the world because of knowing someone in the KGB and getting an interest free loan to buy a Russian state company for a 50th of its price when that well know drunk Boris Yeltsin did a closing down mega sale of state companies to chosen Russian families and the KGB (Putin and cronies)

Most Charlton fans I talk to about Konsa were gobsmacked when Everton were said to be interested. He still looks so shaky at times in what ever position he plays.J BLOCK said:Unpopular opinion - Konsa isn’t as good as everyone makes out
Could it be we were a stable in form with Gomez and Lookman and Konsa is suffering in comparison when he should just be a young player trying to get into Charlton's team.0 -

Have read the "Proper Persons" bit on the FA Website, I still dont see what part of his very dubious financial "activities" would be deemed to be illegal and thus debar him from owning a football club; assuming of course he hasnt been prosecuted and found guilty of financial irregularities. But I stand to be corrected and won over......0 -
A bit like Nick Pope did with us. Konsa has something about him. Comfortable on the ball, capable of reading the game well with and without the ball. I can see why a Premier League club would take a punt on him.soapboxsam said:

The takeover seems to be going on but taking it's time, seems the delay is due to the proposed merger with the spanners and that's what most of the 2K comments were about.Addick Addict said:It's 2.1K comments since I opened this thread last and there doesn't seem to be any update on the mini thread so am I correct in assuming that there is actually no news about an imminent takeover?

Right update on EFL.
Appendix 3 completed and returned, BUT with some qualifications over possibly two 'relevant persons' - one of which is in relationship to 'Association between Clubs'.
I can only assume that the EFL have gone into detailed examination of all the members of the consortium and there is an issue with a couple of them who may (or may not) have joined the party late in the day.39 -

So, we still don't know whether we are going to be a player farm for Everton or Arsenal. I wish they'd hurry up and let us know.1

So fit and proper test is done and the EFL have made recommendations re: two of the potential investors, one of which has (or had) an interest in another football league club?1

Let's face it, it's going to be s huge anti climax whatever happens.
This thread deserves a lot more than just a take over.5 -

I'm more worried that the player farm will work more like it has for Lookman than in the opposite direction.se9addick said:

If one of the investors is linked in some way to another club, could this be a conflict of interest issue rather than a fit and proper issue. We’re being taken over by Roman Abramovitch
