An interesting quote from Paul Ince as Blackpool announced Fuller's signing....

"Speaking to Chris Powell, they wanted to sign him but they are waiting for a takeover to take place so he was disappointed to lose him, but it's a chance for him to come and show what he can do"

    Why is he opening his trap and putting it at risk? Pratt

    Waiting doesn't mean it'll happen soon...

    We're all waiting for a takeover, doesn't mean that it's gonna happen soon.

    Powell to be suspended for breach of confidentiality?

    I would interpret that as recognising that Charlton 'need' a takeover not that one is imminent.

    Yup - waiting to happen, not waiting to be completed

    Could be referring to the one that collapsed in June but interesting all the same.

    What the hell does Ince know?

    That was aimed at CP and PI by the way and not people talking on here.

    Ince misheard what CP said.
    What he actually said was he would love to have Fuller back but the transfer budget wouldn't even pay for a takeaway.

    Probably what Powell told him I'd guess?

    Powell and Ince their A licence together in June. Could be based on a discussion they had at that time?

    Interesting how ince seems to feel the need to justify why we didn't keep him - presumably to answer to any fans who might look at his scoring record/injury record from last season and not be impressed.
    It's all game playing - if a takeover was imminent, I can't imagine Powell potentially raising N'guessans hope (rumours thread) with a potential move from smallwall - I'd hope he'd have better targets.
    Unless of course we're that screwed financially that a new investor might be needed to just keep us afloat and not invest in better players than N'guessan - who knows!

    More likely what Powell told Fuller, or what Fuller has heard, and has then told his new boss. Why would Powell tell Ince? He wouldn't have even been involved in the move and said the other day he hasn't heard from Fuller in weeks.

    Well unlike the million other takeover rumours, the administration, the threat of extinction and Powell leaving, I think this will definitely happen.

    Ince probably asked Fuller why we're we not keeping him and he probably said

    "They can't afford me, until there's a takeover, but I can't wait that long"

    1 - Paul Ince is a fucking idiot. Seriously - have you ever heard him speak? He makes Jonathan Woodgate sound like Stephen Fry

    2 - Even if what he says is true, it might just be a case of Powell telling Fuller he can't afford him under the current regime (not exactly a secret that we're cutting costs) and unless we're taken over that means he'd have to find another club.

    "Speaking to Chris Powell, they wanted to sign him but they are waiting for a takeover to take place so he was disappointed to lose him, but it's a chance for him to come in a show what he can do."

    I'd say that clearly implies that Ince and Powell talked directly no?

    It IMPLIES that, sure. But, see point 1 in my last post.

    We've been waiting for a take over for 18 months...

    Still a very strange thing for both Ince and Powell to have said.

    Not in the slightest.

    Powell hasn't the funds to sign Fuller

    Fullers agent touts him round clubs

    Ince is keen, phones up Powell for the usual sp (is he fit, how does he train, what sort of character, why you not resigning him etc)

    Powell said he wanted to, but there's no funds, waiting for a takeover etc)

    Plausible way of seeing things but I just think the term takeover is an odd one to use if you actually think it could be now or never. Why not say "we wanted to sign him but there's no money" why put takeover into the sentence. It's odd.
