    New rumour to take with a pinch of salt:

    Someone on Facebook has claimed the fit and proper testing panel will be at the World Cup, therefore the deal won’t go through until after the tournament has finished.

    Ha ha ha put 50p in the meter and turn the water off the EFL are shut

    There’s four of them here at Wembley shall I go and ask if the EFL is closed during the world cup
    And the 4 fellas who were on level 4 of Wembley in the FA bit laughed at the suggestion the EFL would close during the World Cup reckoned even those who normally freebie it up ain’t going to Russia as they are bricking it

    What our promotion odds now?

    Fancy putting a bet on before the takeover cuts them in half.

    We're 3rd favourites behind Sunderland & Barnsley.

    Given the crooks and peniless chancers they have previously OK'd and if they have had paperwork for nearly 3 weeks, pre-season starting in four, they'd be open season for legal action.

    Would need to be 50/1 to tempt me.

    You have to be seriously poor to be relegated from this league. We were dreadful the season before last and still finished mid table.

    People tend to LOL when they disagree with a post. Never understood it myself but please do keep posting RH as I and many others do appreciate your updates whether they be good or bad news.

    Ah, so that's how I can get my push LOL count up. Just write something everyone will disagree with.

    Karal Fraeye was the best manager we ever had, and should be the next England manager.

    I laughed mate as I find it fucking hilarious that after RD we can still find people who are unfit to run the club,

    What the fuck have the EFL done about RD being unfit to run a bath

    Have they found people who are unfit to run the club? What have you heard?

    Sale of Charlton : Much comment, e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d.
    'Enough!', they say. 'Have it disbanded!'
    Repetitive, long, with bold claims (some wrong).
    It's HUGE, due to comments each fan did.

    I lol when:

    1, I find something funny
    2, I find something absurd - not necessarily the post itself but the overall situation.
    3, I don't believe what has been posted.

    I always take into account who is posting the comment. I don't believe I lol'd redhenry's post but if I had it would have been for reason 2. Redhenry's posts are normally sensible and I respect his opinions.

    Well to say they have ‘rejected’ it was a little misleading wasn’t it.
    So yes, it’s not yet been accepted but no it’s not been rejected either ....my guess is that they need some further clarification on one or two issues and that the word ‘rejected’ simply isn’t the correct analogy.
    The application is still in progress and as things are at present cannot be accepted until certain matters are resolved.......so the application has NOT been rejected.
    A very misleading comment RH.....sorry mate!

    I don’t.
    But logic would tell you that a great deal of time and effort has gone into the process...(from all sides) and as such they would not reject the application out of hand before certain issues can or cannot be resolved.
    In rejecting the process unequivocally, it would mean a completely new application would have to be made.......as crazy as the EFL are, I just can’t see that being the case.

    Nothing @JamesSeed I am reacting to RH post where he says it’s been rejected, now if it’s true then that’s funny as fuck because how can cafc find someone more unfit than RD

    It seems a bit messenger-shooting though. He didn't say they rejected it "out of hand". He didn't say they'd rejected the "process unequivocally". He didn't say it had been rejected.

    He said he heard it had been rejected.

    I think someone who has brought a lot of interesting facts and information to this thread like @Redhenry has, deserves to be cut some slack when he reports something that simply cannot be contradicted.

    Oh I see. Their definition of 'unfit' is too narrow to include RD unfortunately :-(

    I'm sort of with @SoundAsa£ as I can't believe it's an unequivocal 'no', for the reasons he mentioned.

    On the other hand, I don't know who the background investors are (does anyone btw?), and if one of them is a. dodgy or b. involved with another club, you would image the aussies would get an opportunity to rectify the issue rather than have it rejected outright? I think if it was a flat 'no' then a lifer with connections at the EFL would have been tipped off by now, if the flat 'no' meant starting the whole F&PPT again.

    Wasn't this big meeting supposed to be happening today btw? Or am I mixing it up with today being the date of the club's 113th birthday?

    This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, what ever problems arise with our great club, will always stand and fight for what's best for it, because I am a PROUD Charlton Athletic supporter.... https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCAFC/videos/1719029608164537/?hc_ref=ARRV_5kZhdLu7O5s9c84ff6cNs07paJqNmHKRlJqfLuPoxUGBndcQRXZu-Bi3GZ-3x4
