    To be fair, I open this thread daily just because it’s now so full of rubbish it’s actually become entertaining :joy:

    SSN: Sunderland new owner is hoping Appendix 3 will be completed before their home game on Sunday

    So, what I don't understand is if Sunderland have have made this news public then why can't Charlton make a statement even if they don't want to give away the name of the new owner??.

    That would absolutely put an end to all speculation wouldn't it?

    "Charlton Athletic have today formalised and finalised the takeover of the club and its real estate portfolio, including the freehold of The Valley; and the training facilities and Academy known as Sparrows Lane.

    The deal ends the formal ownership of the club by its previous shareholder Roland Duchatalet.

    Details of team management appointments, the strategic direction of the club, its player development and recruitment policies, associated sponsorship agreements, kit designs, pre-season tours, season ticket prices, fan incentive packages, catering changes and development of a full-time "pot-hole realignment directive" will be published by the new owners.

    But we don't want to say who they are yet".

    Still convinced Duchatelet will retain an interest in The Valley once the deal is completed.

    You are not going to like the new owners either, you will be worried about their exit strategy, have they got enough money, who is really behind them, why do they really want a football team, have they a hidden agenda, will Bows and JJ be kept on, ......etc etc.

    Exciting times! Go with the flow.

    This does puzzle me too if the deal has been done. I could understand if the Rochdale game was the nail biter it could have been - that off pitch distractions are not a good idea but surely there will be an announcement at some point - possibly in the middle of the play offs. Surely now is a good time.

    Will you break your boycott if he does? Genuine question.

    Where does the partnership with Valencia stand in all of this?

    And does that effect the Inter Milan deal?

    Provided that the deal with ASEC Mimosas doesnt get hindered I dont care about Valencia or Inter

    Christ knows what we'd do without the Ivory Coast imports...

    Are we due a payment from Liverpool, if they win the Champions League? Is Roland hanging on to trouser that money, too?

    I agree. This thread ceased being 'exciting' around page 200 and has since become the dullest and most drawn out takeover saga in the history of man.

    The club is costing him over a million a month to run. Gomez got sold to Liverpool for £3.5million, unless the add-on for a Champions League win, plus an England competitive appearance is a lot more than the original transfer fee, I can't see how delaying the sale would profit RD in any way.

    Wasn't the deal for "up to £6.5 million"? Short of Gomez captaining England to winning the World Cup, there is not a lot more that he could achieve beyond winning the CL.

    As KM was involved, it probably makes no difference

    we do however get an extra 2.5m if Gomez beats Klopp in a game of Mario Cart

    700...phew. I can stop biting my nails and re-arrange my pens now.

    Rapidly approaching 701 which is surely going to be a bugger; an odd number where every digit is a prime, ouch.
    Hate to say but neither 0 or 1 are prime numbers.
    And now as well as grammar police we now have maths police. ;-)

    I'm with Stigsie, all prime enough for my general day at work.

    That’s why my, when the world ends prediction, is looking more and more likely.

    1: Poster who is regarded as in the know posts information that makes it sound like takeover is imminent.

    2: Takeover thread goes berserk as multiple new posts of excitement are made.

    3: Memes and shitposts like this start after a few days.

    4: Thread begins to die as no takeover happens.

    5: Rinse and repeat.
