There is already urgency on Roland's side.carly burn said:
Do you bollox. You make the idiot owner sweat for another 6 months.Callumcafc said:
You don't wait until May if you want to plan for next season.Davidsmith said:Yet another major disappointment for supporters tonight, Robinson needs to go when new owners come in.
But if I was looking to buy now after last 3 matches I would wait until May , as no way this squad or manager have what it takes to win play offs , that’s assuming we even get there.
This is a team of chokers no guts and no drive.
Get it done ASAP, get some players scouted and get signings done by the first couple of weeks of June.
I can't see why there would be any urgency on the buyers side.
Not suggesting an interested party will overpay just to get the deal done now it's silly to think they should refuse to buy now if a sensible price is agreed, all so they can make Roland sit on his hands for another six months.1 -
My source 'conduit' wasn't there tonight so not able to update you any further on this TRR - tedious question though isn't it? Its well known DD has now taken place in the last month or so, anything prior is unsubstantiated guff but u keep on with that boring question, i'd be amazed if you could post anything more interesting. What was my guess? A sale once division known? Tick tock for those saying its a done deal i guess even though i hope its true.The Red Robin said:
Can you find out if there's been any due diligence yet?DOUCHER said:Just when you thought things couldn't get any more confusing on this thread, I re appear. Hopefully fill up my knowledge tank tonight and will of course divulge if anything notable where possible. Has the discrepancy between red henrys multiple parties still involved and airmans done deal been resolved yet? Fingers crossed for a big announcement tonight, doubt it though.

Surprised to see you calling out Richard Murray, Doucher. He said on January 20th that several groups had already done due diligence. Or did they all manage it in the first three weeks of January?DOUCHER said:

Keep an eye on the news?sammy391 said:Guy on charlton Facebook group bumped into Robinson today, Robinson apparently told him to keep an eye on the news this week ...
EDIT: https://www.facebook.com/groups/charltonfc/permalink/10156035233675279/
Clutching at straws, but perhaps a bit of takeover goss!?

He also said KR told him Bauer and Fosu had picked up knocks and wouldn’t play against Bradford. WUM. So bizarre that a fan would post that. Shows the downside of the internet. Perfect for attention seekers.Dave2l said:

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but I guess it could possibly effect the takeover.

Although we are only halfway through February and its been said that the sale of the cloob is likely to be February we still have a couple of weeks left. However the rumour mongers abound saying that negotiations are protracted which is adding unnecessary concern for fans. Could this be an opportunity for the Trust to approach RM again for an update? Surely the Charlton Staff should be informed of the latest situation given that its their livelihood at stake and RM should be on the case?0

Mcleish was/is just a consultant for one of the interested parties. A lot like Dennis wise was one for jiminez and cash. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll turn up as managercovered end junior said:Not sure if this has been mentioned or not but I guess it could possibly effect the takeover.

Are we 100% certain that there is no Chinese interest ?0

Didn't someone mention yesterday that they believed the Scots had walked away completely?0

Roland wouldn't sell us to a Chinese person.MarcusH26 said:Didn't someone mention yesterday that they believed the Scots had walked away completely?
He cares about the club too much.
(Just to make it completely clear that it's a joke and I'm not raciest...Roland a few years ago said Chinese owners were shit....not in those exact words)0 -
Yeah I remember that bizarre interview just after he brought St Truiden again.Dave2l said:

Was talk a good few weeks back now that there was Chinese interest and I don’t remember hearing that they had gone away. The rumour just seemed to disappear.charente addick said:

All seems to have gone very quiet. Not surprising given the kicking AB took a few days ago. Wouldn't blame him for not sharing.

There was an Asian man in the party yesterday that gathers in the centre circle prior to kick-off (FWIW)... also Peter Varney was back in his usual seat in the lower west (but I suspect that he will probably be a regular again now that his involvement with Ebssfleet is over.).ShootersHillGuru said:

When Joynes leaves at the end of February what is then the structure for running the club? Maybe the Charlton staff already know.Solidgone said:Although we are only halfway through February and its been said that the sale of the cloob is likely to be February we still have a couple of weeks left.

There was a Chinese group shown around the training ground but somebody on here (AB?) said it was nothing to do with a takeover bidShootersHillGuru said:

I read this last night as well? Think it was Davidsmith who posted but in a way that sounded like it was old news though wasn't old news to me.MarcusH26 said:Didn't someone mention yesterday that they believed the Scots had walked away completely?
If the Scots have walked away I won't lose any sleep over them so long as RedHenry's group are still at the table.2 -
can one party or another just fucking get on with it please?13

Personally I think Roly is never going to sell us and will even own us from beyond the grave, he will still be able watch as many games as he currently does.8
