But I felt so excited when I saw those tweets from RC and the SLP.
Then I saw these quotes from Powell, apparently lifted from CAFC Player - and honestly? Not sure I care anywhere near as much as I did 5 minutes ago.
Until I know CP has a new contract then I can't say I'll be celebrating too much.
'What will be will be, I have a love and passion for this club there can be no doubt about that, I love managing this club'
'I like managing and I want to manage here but we've got to see what the future holds,'
'I want my players sorted, I want my staff sorted, and whatever happens with me happens'
Sorry to pee on your chips guys.
@RichCawleySLP: Believe that Roland Duchatelet is in country now. Got a number of things on his to-do list. Not least contracts of staff and players.
Sounds positive0 -
When you listen to the interview, which is on CAFC Player, it doesn't come across as bad as it looks on paper. To me, it came across as Powell simply saying he did not know whether he would be given a new contract and we will all just need to wait. Taken alongside his comments that he had not spoken to Duchatelet, that makes sense.LuckyReds said:I don't want to be that guy, the one who pisses on a parade.

No need to panic.... yet!0 -
All I would say guys if this deal is done we have missed out on some serious money for our club that would have been mind blowing.

Nice of you to care about our great club.david sylvian said:I refer you all back to the observations made by the Belgian geezer - none of which seemed particularly like this guy was good news. If I were you lot, I'd reserve judgement for at least a few months to see how the land lies. I'm not convinced that this takeover is in the best interests of Charlton Athletic.

Think this race ended one lap too early. On the other hand let's hear what Roland has to say.2
-
I will in due course but I can't today but when you here the name of the other people you will wonder why1

This is great news, with TJ and MS at the helm we were going no where but league one (either relegation or administration). Hopefully this will mean Championship football again next year and who knows maybe a push for the Premier League the season after!
COYR0 -
Great news. Can only be a good thing for us at the present moment. Lets hope for some positive outcomes re: contracts in the next few weeks and a push away from the relegation scrap we were heading for0

Maybe, maybe not but although he's an unknown to us all what we did/do know is that currently our club is basically on it's backside financially leaving us with the very real threat of administration. There are some on here who think it's a legitimate tactic to clear the decks and start again. Personally I think it's a pretty classless, scummy thing to do to a whole host of small businesses who might be taken under while the football club continues to exists and starts racking up debts again.david sylvian said:I refer you all back to the observations made by the Belgian geezer - none of which seemed particularly like this guy was good news.

...and it's still not on the official site.0 -
The fact that we are not going to be run into the ground and stagnate with no money for current players contracts let alone future players is cause to celebrate. We are safe as a club if this news is true.0
-
Given the reported financial scenario, if this is true I feel we can say the peninsular is about as imminent as Boris Island Airport.1

2. TJ and Slater/Cash would not turn their back on serious money if it truly was about to materialise
On that basis I would say it's a case of taking the only serious offer on the table.0 -
I'm a little with luckyreds here, I'll relax when SCP has his contract , glad we've finally been bought though.1

Have the SLP never been wrong about anything? I'd wait for an official word before cracking open the Kwak.0

Been one of Powells biggest critics yet I feel he deserves and has earnt the right to be given a chance with some money behind him, but I honestly don't think he will. Think Roland will appoint his own bloke.0

Meet the new boss......
I say it now, I give it less than 3 months before people are complaining about player quality, 6 months until disillusionment with the way the club is run, 12 months until takeover rumors start. And finally within 2 years we will have been sold again with an even more uncertain future.

Cue the usual suspects claiming they heard it was done last night/this morning.1

The only person who seems to have called it was the guy on ITTV. Assuming it wasn't a lucky guess he deserves some cudos for the scoop.stop shouting said:Cue the usual suspects claiming they heard it was done last night/this morning.
