It's the next two lines that have me worried ...seth plum said:
If I may run with what you have posted, the implication is that the potential purchasers have the power at the moment.nth london addick said:It’s not my opinion it’s where we are now based on info supplied by people that know

Lookie He may well have played a game In how he put his info out and yes it’s a lot of look at me but he is right nothing is imminent and nothing is progressing along at a rate of knots
You get to the point where the posturing stops RD was in control of that so someone was prepared to walk away
Now RD is no longer in control of that and now the other person is holding more cards in their favour
But there has been a lot of stretching out of info not lying and not bullshit but there’s been things posted here that are stretching the facts to suit a better story
However for both parties in the words of the poem 'But at my back I always hear. Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near'.
On the one hand there are more losses, on the other the transfer window and the desire to make an early start on it.
We will see what happens, but I can't see Duchatelet having an appetite to support Robinson adequately if he ends up staying.
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.

Someone sent me this, not saying where it’s come from or who the source is. I refuse to believe anything until I see it but it’s always wise to read what you hear. Anyway, I’ll leave it here:
***You are an absolute idiot if you think that this group are going to come along and bring back the glory days!
I have been told some stuff tonight in absolute confidence and I intend to make sure it stays that way so please out of respect don't even ask.
If this Australian consortium take over you can forget Championship football for a very long time.
As for the Premiership?? ...Not in my lifetime and probably not yours either.***9 -

"RD knows that he is a signing or two from us becoming a Championship side again but there is a side issue, a big one at that and that is he knows that promotion will put a smile on so many people's faces, the danger is, does he want to put one on some? especially those who have, and continue to hound him?
All these protests in Belgium could very well come at a cost."
So really it's just a long winded dig at protestors for apparently making RD doubt his commitment to the club. The old fella has been checked out for months now and there is no way he is paying for more players in January with or without a protest movement.
Delusional.14 -

If someone was going to screw your club further into the ground than it already is why would you keep confidences?5

It shouldn't worry you at all when you bear in mind that the whole poem is designed to get a lady to take her pants off for the author. Pretty words, for sure, but rather basic and one dimensional.JamesSeed said:

Au contraire...he just sees the mineral wealth that lies beneath, and another way to make a lot of money for him and his mates. If you haven't been to the two Utah NMs he has just reduced, I strongly suggest that you do as they are quite simply beautiful!mogodon said:

Jesus man, that's one of the most famous poems ever written. I studied it for S level (only to walk out of the exam after two minutes because Nastase and Connors were engaged in a tremendous doubles match at Wimbledon.)kings hill addick said:

Is that the bloke who said that he was setting up a new "organisation" that would represent ALL season ticket holders & if you didn't want to be part of it you had to contact either him or the club, can't remember which. (When 99% of the diminishing Season ticker holders would never know anything about it) & within a few weeks CARD would be smashed & we'd never hear of them again.redbuttle said:limeygent said:

I believe he was also "in negotiations" with the club for this "(dis)organisation" to become somehow attached to the club. Well that all went well didn't it

It is so good to see Reams being mentioned on here again albeit parenthetically, I didn't realise how much I had missed his delusional b/s.4

No he wouldn't. Based on his level of literacy he would more likely describe them as Spotted Dick and Sticky Toffee Pudding.mogodon said:

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”14 -
The beauty of Charlton Life, Whilst we are waiting around for the takeover to happen, we are reciting Shelley to each other.23

Nothing has changed. Duchatelet wasted millions letting the joke of a "CEO" play with her new toy and then he tightened the purse strings. I very much doubt there was ever any prospect of them bringing in strong reinforcements in January. You can see in the way they handled Robinson's request to sign Leon Best that they don't give a toss about getting us promoted. The sooner they are out the better.35 -
