    And the thread starter still won't get a promote.
    But does it have the 'quality content' of the Prediction Thread?

    we will hear nothing on the o/s until deal has been sighed, and new owner put in place,

    Richard Murrey speaking to the CAST before Walsall game was very helpful as is the input from Airman Brown and afew others on this site.

    Any info about Roland selling is Always welcome by myself .

    Some people can Always find Roland and make him fill uneasy thats good.

    One day he will be gone but never forgiven by most Charlton fans for what we have gone through during his time in charge.

    Changed my mind. This absolutely cannot happen this week. No it must not happen this week.

    Just been told it's my aunties 40th birthday do next Saturday and I absolutely am not allowed to miss it.

    Already annoyed as I've already got my ticket and wanted to go anyway.

    If it does go through this week I will go but will have to endure the wrath of my entire family for ever more and they are right horrible bastards.

    Changed my mind again.

    Managed to bullshit my way out the family event and am now going to the game. This now must absolutly 100% has to happen this week so we can all go mental saturday!

    People shooting the messenger is even more boring than waiting for the messenger.

    Take a couple of hours off charlton life and enjoy your life.

    That's rich coming from u - I provide facts on here and u instantly dismiss coz there not the same as those you believe - stop sniping is something you could take on board - I can confirm that when airman said it was a done deal a few weeks ago, it wasn't but I guess we can all work that out - once again, that does not mean I'm calling him out, just that he and his source are wrong
    .

    It could be a 'done deal' but there are legal formalities to go through. WHICH MAY HIT SOME LEGAL HITCH - SO ITS NOT DONE

    It might have been a 'done deal' but other potential bidders have re-entered the fray, causing Roly to backpedal on the 'done deal'. -THEN ITS NOT DONE

    It might have been a 'done deal' but Roly changed his mind. -THEN ITS NOT DONE

    It could be any of a number of other possible post 'done deal' scenarios. -THEN ITS NOT DONE!!!

    The other possibility is that AB has been let down by two separate sources.

    I'm quite enjoying the ride either way.

    When it does actually get done, everyone will know about it pronto. it won’t leak out of one ‘source’ it will leak out of about 20 very very quickly imo

    Really don't care what others are feeling today - I'm keeping the faith.

    Up at the crack (!) , polyfilla applied followed by full make up , hair coiffed with 2 cans of Freeze Hold hairspray, sequined boob tube & hot pants ( black/white) squeezed into - all in readiness for the CARD/WAR/B20 party of the century.

    Oh, and 6 ft cake on its way for the long awaited triumphant emergence to get the celebrations underway.

    @Arsenetatters - Put those chooks down & get ready to join me !

    ( Fingers crossed for an imminent announcement .....these hot pants are severely cutting off the blood supply.)

    Fanny, would you mind if I wore hot pants at the party as well as you?

    THAT'S WHY IT'S IN QUOTATION MARKS!

    As I said at the time, it might have been better to have tweeted 'Done deal' which would imply (well to me at least) 'I've been told it's a done deal'. The lack of quotation marks makes it look done and dusted, rather than something less than that. However, I suspect with Roly it's never actually a done deal until contracts are signed.

    Also, 'legal formalities' implies that there can't be a hitch. i.e. it's a formality.

    It's fun this though, isn't it!

    Furry muff but if one is gonna rely on this, or any other forum, to break the news of a take-over, one needs to sieve through the jokes / false news / fake news / bickering etc. imo

    From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
    'A done deal'
    Informal. An agreement that has been made and cannot be changed.


    Not being a lawyer I don't know what period of time would be acceptable between the agreement being reached, and the legal conclusion of such a deal.

    However, the longer this goes on, the more nervous we get.

    Really don't think you will miss anything - no takeover and Shrewsbury nicking the points at The Valley. Trouble is when you get to my age the world is viewed through a glass less than half full. Will be delighted to be proved wrong of course.
