    Things have been bubbling on behind the scenes for weeks now. Wouldn't surprise me if something happened.

    I doubt very much if it is going to happen.

    I don't have any inside information, but who would buy a club at the very start of the season. It doesn't make sense.

    Any new buyer would be stuck with the players already in place and wouldn't be able to invest in the team until January.

    So for me Roland is with us for at least 6 months.

    On the other hand though, it gives them six months to have a look at the infrastructure, review the coaching and the internal staff set-up, look at our comms, our training ground, our ticketing, evaluate the playing squad and the manager, all while not having to worry about bringing in signings and spending more money immediately. I'm not getting my hopes up again (or maybe ever again) about a takeover but for a buyer picking up a club with potential you can do a lot worse than keep your powder dry for six months and evaluate your new asset

    If they are still about I reckon we may be stuck with despicable Miere she seems to be wanting to hang around , so either it's not happening or part of it is she stays put

    She wouldn't last 5 minutes in the job without uncle Roly watching her back

    Is that just a guess or based on anything? Can't see why any new owner would keep her on.

    I don't see that any sale would be heavily dependent on promotion or not. There's are possible arguments in either direction as to how promotion or relegation could help or hinder a sale. That suggests to me that it's not that important. Of course, our league position will affect what people are prepared to pay but the key factor is how fed up with it Roly gets. We need to do everything in our power to ensure that he's very fed up.

    It's the squirrel that needs pestering. She's visably aged 10 years since 2014.
    The strength of the sun in Dubai can do that to your skin I'm afraid.

    Based on what I was told last week she has no immediate intention of stepping away from football, in fact the total opposite and looking to be more involved

    that leaves two options she is either going to try and forge a career within the game away from cafc and to do that her cv would need to read a damn sight better than it does

    or she is staying on at cafc

    I won't say no more than that

    Should there be any truth in the Aussies still being in the frame then it would seem to me that their whole business case is based upon having sporting expertise and having "winners" and a winning mentality.

    Not sure where Meire fits into that anywhere.

    She doesn't have a choice... If new guys come in they are well within their right to remove her from her post

    I must admit, I stand in awe at the brassneck of the woman!

    I don't care where she is or what she does as long as it's noting to do with Charlton Athletic. She'll be found out wherever she goes.

    Head says that we have more chance of being taken over by aliens from the planet Zarg third on the left in the Plexus Nebula!

    Heart says, seeing Daisy Dipshit adiosed out of the gaff by her earhole... well, let's just say, where's the s/t form for my whole family?

    Absolute nonsense - typical of all those people who claim to be in the know.

    Zarg is the fourth on the left.

    Well, on the forum "whose name shall not be mentioned" they are suggesting that Zarg have in fact been in talks since early April.
    They have even been seen at The Valley testing the water so to speak....but were singularly unimpressed with the ongoing pot hole situation and this has evidently been a major stumbling block, with seemingly no resolution in sight.

    Have they got confused with the company that's testing for Legionella before the season starts .. easy mistake. Takeover, water testing
