Charlton join foreign legion as Belgian millionaire agrees takeover deal (maybe?)

There's no rush - you always take all of the time available to you when playing a hand of cards when the stakes are high!

Airman, are you able to do any digging on the current staus of the takeover? Without compromising anybody of course - we have only heard from one source that the deal is dead and nothing official. There is a subtle difference say between negotiating a stumbling block and the deal being dead.

It also makes you feel for employees of the club - with all this uncertainty in the air.

I'm sure there are continuing discussions.

Of course there is still hope. The reality is a takeover needs to happen. I have no doubt it will.

Just showing who was there. Nothing more or less. I just haven't had a chance to upload the pic earlier.

Who is it then?

That looks like Roy Hattersley in the grey coat, or Lord Hattersley with his new wife?

When I saw Pullis coming into the ground I could've sworn he had a bird with him.

Now I realise it was Parish, so I guess that makes me right all along!

Not RD by the looks of it.

KP, MS, RM and Sir MH

Kensall, Joyes and Bradshaw in front of them.

Pullis and Parish at the back.

Jason Morgan MBE, Suthers, Roger Gidstaff (?), ? , Elliot behind

Roger Godsiff. Cllr Chris Roberts is behind Jason.

Former director Craig Norris and respectable solicitor Jeremy Watkins reporting from sitting behind the person in the very red coat.

Getting a bit nervous.

Well, if it doesn't go through today - as you have been saying all along - then it's really going to feck up my New Year celebrations.

I'm holding you personally accountable for my well being in 2014.

Apparently this is the problem and RM wants his 1.5m back http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/charlton_athletic/8001820.stm

This article is from April 2009

Correct, but interesting to see this again: "A residential site owned by the club near to the Valley, Lansdowne Mews, has also been sold as part of the deal to Bob Whitehand."

I believe we've been told more recently that Bob never owned it. Perhaps the latter is correct and the purchase never went through, but interesting nonetheless.

Bob never owned it - though the Club did offer it to him.

I was told that it was sold by Steve Waggott to the Developer who is now sitting on it with PP, though this has never been confirmed.

I see you've corrected this from Steve Kavanagh and that's correct to my knowledge, although I believe Bob was involved on behalf of the board. Did Bob also tell you that he's been banned again?

Sorry - should have put 'edited' - I meant the Geordie Smiler when I originally posted.

The deal wasn't done through RW, but was instigated by the Board with a third party, which was confirmed on here back in the Autumn. Co-incidently, the same person who worked with PV on bringing in the current owners.

Seeing as RW spends most home games in a pub in Sevenoaks, it doesn't surprise me he's persona non grata. I suppose when they need his signature on the transfer documents he'll be welcomed with open arms.

I really did look hard but couldn't spot RD or even a lookalike.
