    Bit harsh to criticise RM IMO, he is not in control of the sale, and can only relay what RD and the lawyers allow him to relay, & when.

    A famous cardigan wearer once told me WIOTOS

    Although, ironically, the statement about the statement appeared on the trust’s site and came as a surprise to the club staff who control the official site...

    RM's gone rogue.
  • It's about bloody time we saw an independent statement on the statement about the statement.

    Anyone would think this takeover is turning into a farce.

    Surly that can't be true, a certain Global Moderator from elsewhere has already had his 1-2-1 with Uncle Dick and knows what the Wednesday announcement will be but out of respect won't divulge it.

    Yes, his previous statement was never a promise, and more an estimate. I'd rather have that than complete silence

    The club staff who control the official site?
    In terms of control I thought that right now Richard Murray was the person in control, or maybe Duchatelet, or maybe nobody is in control...of anything day to day.

    An unofficial statement has been released but cannot be verified. It reads:

    " Sell a football club? You must be joking. The old scroat struggles to know what day it is. Just the other day he walked to the grocery store with his underpants on his head and his shoes on back to front. He tried to pay for a pint of milk with pumpkin seeds.
    Be a month or two yet. Depends what tablets he's on."

    Murray said it could be February, which was his assessment at the time. But there’s an announcement tomorrow, the last day of Feb, and we don’t know what that will reveal.
    I don’t think it’s worth getting her up about it myself.

    I’m hoping he’ll confirm what I heard, but if it’s just to say the sale will be concluded in March, well March is a fine month for change, winter into spring etc
    So long as he doesn’t say ‘could’, I guess.

    Dear March - Come in -
    How glad I am -
    I hoped for you before -
    Put down your Hat -
    You must have walked -
    How out of Breath you are -
    Dear March, how are you, and the Rest -
    Did you leave Nature well -
    Oh March, Come right upstairs with me -
    I have so much to tell -

    (Emily Dickinson)

    April come she will
    When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
    May she will stay
    Resting in my arms again
    June she'll change her tune
    In restless walks she'll prowl the night

    July she will fly
    And give no warning to her flight
    August die she must
    The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
    September I remember
    A love once new has now grown old

    (Paul Simon)
    MAYbe it's because I'm a Londonder.

    Just had a nice convo with Lawrie Wilson in gym at Ebbsfleet.

    Confirmed (what we already knew) Roland picked the FA cup team away v Sheffield United & subsequent matches.

    Says nearly re-signed for Charlton in summer but Katrien blocked it.

    Roland gave instructions for Sheffield United but Powell ignored them.

    He should've followed those instructions. Could've been no worse

    Difficult to justify that after the following 4 years...

    Which was why he was sacked.

    What takeover? Is there going to be a takeover? Is this to do with the move to the peninsular?

    When Charlton was in Belgium's land
    Let my people go
    Protests rang out from every stand
    Let my people go

    Go down, Addicks
    Way down in Belgium's land
    Tell old Roland
    Let my people go
  • Almost there

    Given that he's now playing non league, i'd say that was probably one of the only smart decisions she made.
