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

    Do you read just the last page of a book?

    Paul has confirmed to me on Twitter he heard the news today and a reliable source after I asked him a few minutes ago.

    Do you answer every question with another question?

    Thanks Red. I'm seeing a lot of people on twitter and social media in general saying lots of things but who knows if they are just repeating what they've read or actually do have credible sources. It's not easy trying to work out what is real and what is not with this stuff.

    I don't get upset by forum posts. Does it upset you that I ask questions? I mean what was the point of your reply other than to be an arse?

    I do enjoy being an arse. I assumed you did as well as about 3-posts above you was a perfectly good answer to your "who is this bloke?" Question.
    You're welcome and get in Ricky.....

    I actually asked whether he had any credibility. A former journalist doesn't really mean much.

    Paul has covered Charlton for years. Will be fairly well connected.

    Just as well connected as Rich Cawley, so could take the silence from Cawley and Paul’s admission as something’s happening

    Well it wasn’t too long ago that the AFC bid didn’t have a pot to piss in. Andrew Muir would change that but would he really be willing to bank roll a five year plan to get Charlton back in the premier league ?

    That would realistically cost £50 million at least plus cost of buying the club. Probably quite a bit more. If it’s AFC then I hope there are several other big investors involved and I don’t mean banks.

    'A late up in price'. WTF does Douchy think he's up to? It's imperative that you sell, man. Your bank balance and my sanity are dependent on this. Now is not the time to be upping the price, now is the time to be giving away sweeteners and enticements like you life depends on it. Make it so they can't possibly turn you down, you old fool. This has to go ahead, even if you give the club away!

    All you bedwetters must be disappointed.

    I said from the start none of it was true.

    All lies from CARD to try and derail our season of glory

    Long Live Roland, Long Live the Regime

    You forgot it was "entirely made up to sell copies of VOTV."
    No, that wouldn't make sense as it was released on the internet a few days after VOTV came out.
    Not according to Ms perks and her cronies on the secret fb group. Apparently Ricks sales have fallen so far he's losing money so he's had to make up rumours to sell more copies.
    I don't think airman worries about making a profit mind you there's a bully someone where (yes I would say it to his face) who,in addition to posting multiple cropped photos,has an bit of a thing for Mr Brown and keeps asking about his tax returns.

    Look out for anyone in the directors box

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

    The picture of the Liar bedsheet nestling on squrrel's beak should be the final post of the "Belgians have gone" thread.

    Still not found the couple responsible so I can buy them a drink.

    Paul was the Charlton correspondent for many years on the News Shopper so has contacts in and around the club.

    I would say he is a good source.

    Adding him to the others, not just Rick, saying the same thing says it is seemingly more and more likely that there are legs on this one.

    But it's a 0% done and will remain that way until it's 100% done

    Henry calls it right. The scant bit of gossip I heard today suggests things are bubbling under, but timescale simply can't be assumed or predicted, and Duchatelet's capricious nature could still scupper everything.

    there is something happening and the silence from the club is relavant. Its not going at the pace we would all like i.e. instant but I am certain from speaking to a number of people that this is neither a rumour by some internet nobody or a ploy to prop up flagging fanzine sales.

    It may yet change course or take longer than we hope but it is not a non story and the notion that they are here for the long run is n9t true.

    Those who know best, what is the best way that we as fans can make the final push and convince ol' Roly that our club is no longer worth holding on to?
  • Just hope this gets done before January and that he's not dragging his feet

    Hate to say but if was Roland I'd drag it out till the Transfer Window and then cash in on Konsa / Holmes / Kashi / Sarr!!

    Have a wobble board day at the next home game.

    Nah, don't bother : - )

    Well I’m sure that would kill the deal.

    If the deal is on going then any significant sales would impact on the price
