  • Big announcement on the takeover at half time so don’t rush down to join the queues for a beer, stay in your seats and wait to hear the fantastic news. Charlton fans in the east, west and upper north stands can ignore this if they want.

    Silence from Cawley is interesting

    I too thought it was weird he hasn’t really covered any of the rumour apart from when Louis Mendez asked Robinson in a postmatch interview!

    Could he have signed an NDA?

    More likely he has been told he could screw it up if mentioned and when/if it goes through he can be first in line for an interview

    Worth noting he was incredibly quiet about duchatelet until literally just before the takeover

    Counting the Days 'Til We No Longer Need A Takeover Thread
    Day 11

    The Best Thread sits in it's shed contemplating it's impact. It's little amaretto biscuit sitting neglected beside a lukewarm coffee.
    'What's happening do me' he sobs in anguish, 'I'm a good thread aren't I, why aren't people excited by the news I bring'?
    The BT's wife puts on her finest simpering smile, 'perhaps you just need to be a little more patient, dear'.
    'Patient, PATIENT!!!', he roars. 'I'm a visionary, I'm the Alan Turing of Charlton Life threads. I bring joyous news and all these vinegar pissers do is start infighting and flagging each other. And now' he sniffs, '...they are neglecting me. I used to be respected, I used to have my own sticky. In fact, better than that, I didn't need a sticky. I was the people's favourite, king of the hill, top of the list, A number one...
    'STOP!' screams Mrs BT 'I can't stand another one of your song and dance routines, you're not in Salsa Cabana now, you know'.
    'I just want to feel loved' says the Best Thread, 'Why can't those ants post some nice comments and get all excited like in the good old days'?
    Meanwhile at a secret location near the Thames Estuary, a misguided Lifer hits the 'Post Comment' button and some meaningless scrawl appears at the bottom of the best thread. Temporarily the thread is again lifted into poll position on Charlton Life.
    For a spilt second, the Best Thread smiles...
    It's still here.
    Oh Fuck!

    Ha ha very good, Stig :smiley:

    Doesn't mean anything, they won't deny every rumour. How would they decide which ones to comment on and which to ignore?

    Any chance of a rousing chorus of We Want Roland Out this afternoon, kind of missed it this season.

    Cawley is usually very good at confirming or denying rumours, my guess is that he's been breifed on something from the club and under orders to keep it quite.

    Agree , but they’ve always seemed to deny any rumours in the past - or at least made the effort to roll out the “the club is not for sale” line!

    Apart from anyone sitting beneath a "The Liar" sign you mean?

    I've checked the car park and there's definitely no Ausssie number plates.

    Would have used Nabby at CB for this one. Not sure who in place of.

    I'm happy to provide some updates if there is no one else who can.

    I'm only on my phone though so will be fairly slow and short updates.

    @ross1 if you are around I know people appreciate the tweets and updates you provide.

    Hopefully we can complement each other...

    To anyone else who is in view of the directors box, who are the 3 still in there talking on the left hand side? Think I’ve seen them here before, at least one of them.

    I just hope the aussies are rich enough to do the job properly - and don't do a deal where Roland retains some ownership - particularly The Valley

  • Who is this guy and does he actually have any credibility? Or just another random internet guy who claims to be ITK?
