I'm amazed that after 4 years of endless takeover talk there are hardly any comments. It's happening guys. It's truly happening
I’ve been convinced that completion of the takeover was nailed on three times before. I can’t let myself believe this until it’s absolutely certain - the downer is just too awful.
Muir has flown to the other side of the world, it’s definitely happening
Surely Muir wouldn’t come all the way from AUS just for 90 mins of football - so airman’s rumour about papers signed tomorrow must have weight to it ...
To also have a ‘fans’ tour of the stadium and to talk to fans etc firstly surely means he is confident it will happen , but secondly highlights the kind of owner he will be!
This guy is a massive step up from Duchebag , and without getting carried away - I’m confident this guy can and will be the best owner Charlton will have had!
Yeah he wasn't exactly incognito with scarfy wrapped around him...he has the look of a man who owns the place

Out of interest Sammy I know zero about Muir so why do you say he is a “massive step up” from RD.
So it seems Paul Elliot is onboard in some way. Can only be a good thing imo. Think he will end up running the football side. Wonder if Bowyer and Jacko will be kept on!

Genuine question, Is Elliot in anyway qualified to be involved in running a football club ?

Well he hasn't got a PhD in Fu*kwhittery or a diploma in dick-waddery like the last lot, so I'm not sure. What kind of qualifications do you need to be involved in the running of a club these days anyway?

I’d be amazed if he had anything to do with the day to day running of the Club. More likely Chairman.

Vice chairman, I’m told now.
Wonder where /if RM features in the new set up ?
Heard nothing recent on that, but the story months back was that he might get life president. We already have one, but also a history of unseating them.
"There I was walking down the stairs after the game and walking down next to me was Andrew Muir. I asked him if he was our new owner which he kind of brushed aside, but he then went on to say that we need to get the club back on track and give it back to the fans. He also asked me how many years I’d supported the club and kindly asked my name. Our dialogue is not massively illuminating I know, but he seemed very engaging, interested and a really nice bloke. I guess only time will tell."

the use of "we" is very illuminating if he indeed said it
Why does an Aussie want to buy a third division club for example?
Because we are not a third tier club. We are a second tier club he can buy for a third tier price. Look at our ground and huge catchment area (between one and two million potential supporters).
That's going to need some capacity improvements then ;-)

No. But It he is already better that the c**t that we currently have.
On the frying pan to fire concept. Can it really be worse than it is now? For the most part under Duchatelet winning matches wasn't much of a priority, for it to be worse we would need a team that scored three own goals a game.
To be fair, that's a pretty poor attempt at a limerick, Seth
I reckon it was @SDAddick story about his dog that swung the deal his way #BestFriendsPetCare

That's a serious away day. I hope he bought his tickets in advance.

Has anything now actually happened ?
If so, karma would have it strike him in the head as he left the building.
Fucking tosser.
Note: (Sure he’s a lovely family man and wouldn’t wish him any actual harm under any circumstances at all. None at all.)
He's not Roland.

I prefer his new place in Flinders!
