Maybe old Roland putting out story of Aussies deal done to get others to close deal. Aussies been around for a year, suddenly Andrew Muir is involved? For how much? Who else is investing? Lots of bluff and double bluff going on here I would assume. WIOTOS
There is a substantial backstory to Andrew Muir’s involvement, which dates back to last summer. The durability of that - even if you think it’s not true - is evidenced by the cover of VOTV136 last August.
There hasn’t been any significant rumour about the identity of the “second” group other than Murray telling staff it was British. If you’re going to point to the public insubstantiality of the Aussie group, this is much more true of the other one.
They are one and the same, searching for cash then they found Muir, but still way short on their bid. Not Murray’s choice either from all accounts, he is tied in with another bid we here.
Yes, I've never believed there were two Aussie groups. The "second" group I am talking about is the one Murray is talking about, which he said is British, and which has had no public profile.

If the second group is British, where do the Saudis fit into all of this? Are the British group, British based Saudis or backed by them?
Seriously Killer,do youself a favour .Just sit back and wait for it to happen. Nobody really has the answers. Just tit bits and Chinese whispers. We just have to wait for the doddery old chunt to make his decision.

The Saudis were a wild card which is what threw things off-balance in February. They were never part of the equation when Murray was talking in January about two groups and a February conclusion and their intervention is what caused the delay.
In the last week we've had the Daily Mirror, The Sun, the Evening Standard, the SLP all talking about the Australians, specifically around Kewell, which has never happened before. It's come, to my understanding, from Robinson, the Saudi end and Paul Elliott, any of which you may choose to regard as reliable or unreliable as suits. The Saudi stuff has multiple sources.

Are they out of it altogether now and are the British group the ones that Mike Ashley has been linked to be involved with?

I really hope it's done tomorrow, for the obvious reasons, but also to see how many of the ITKs on here have got the front to say, 'There you go. Exactly as I predicted.'
I suspect there is as much chance of a takeover being announced tomorrow as there is that Hull will be widely accepted with Oxford and Cambridge as one of our three great historic universities

How much ITK is he? (although the only one truly ITK is Roland I guess)
Former Director with a secured loan outstanding of £250k I believe.
So quite ITK then. Oh
Quite possibly here's a breakdown of the former directors loans according to Airman in January totalling £7m;
As well as Murray's £2.6m, Derek Chappell and Bob Whitehand each have £1.2m outstanding, Sir Maurice Hatter £1m, David Hughes £500,000 and David Sumners and David White £250,000 each.
I'm still waiting on my £1 I paid towards the purchase of Ronnie Moore.
We are still in talks.
Respect @ElfsborgAddick I only put 50p in the collection bucket, that's all the loose change I had .

Good article. The only thing I took issue with was this line: 'Charlton have been stripped down to their core –around 5,000 apathetic season-ticket holders have long since departed, weary, fed up, gone to another club or perhaps another pastime all together. It’s hard to blame them'. It makes the drop in ST sales appear entirely passive and negative. That may be true for many, maybe most, of those who no longer attend. But for a good number of us absence isn't about giving up, absence is about fighting back. It is a sign on love for the club and determination to do what we consider was the best thing given the circumstances. Not renewing wasn't a sign of surrender or of not caring - and in no way was it about having a new team to support. It was about making a proactive decision as to how we could most effectively force the owner's hand to sell.
That's what I thought very good article somewhat spoilt by that sentence. Another club ????? I'm just waiting for the takeover & I'll be back.

Will be interesting to see if tomorrow does bring anything.
I don't know what's more tortuous at the moment, this thread... or the "How the fuck can we convince ourselves Corbyn can win" thread?
Both are on the same trajectory, back up back down and round and round again. BUT i just cannot stop popping in and taking a gander!
Darren Lehman, Steve Smith and David Warner. Three fair-dinkum Aussies who'll ensure the integrity of our great club is kept firmly intact.
Fairly likely that Lee Bowyer will get us a couple of good results/performances and will then be ironed out by the new regime.
And Oxford is a dump.
