Had a crash on my bike yesterday while training for this prostate cancer ride. A bit of tarpaulin covering a skip flapped in the wind and caught the end of my handle bars, sending over the bars onto the road. I was a bit bruised and had a few scrapes, but still got out today. (Accidentally cycled up Succomb’s Hill, which I don’t recommend.)
More relevant to the thread though is the fact that tonight I made chicken risotto, but used red onions instead of the more traditional white. Any thoughts?

If you mean you rode up succomb's hill in Warlingham Jimmy, then you should be wearing a polka-dot shirt because I struggle to get up there in my car !
[Deviation from thread, but it's the modern trend, so I'm not worried]
Getting up Succomb's Hill (off the A22 and up, up, up) in a fit state is a task. That you did it after an 'Off' is worthy of a 'Chapeau!'. So...Chapeau!

Never again. Nearly came to a standstill several times. I'm not designed for going uphill.
Lot of people having a gripe about the EFL, but Given that a number of similar deals have been announced ‘subject to EFL approval’, is there a possibility that it hasn’t even got,to the stage yet?
It is very much in the club and the new people’s interests to get this out there is quick as possible, so if the EFL approval is the ONLY outstanding obstacle, I’m fairly sure this would have been announced.

I hope you’re more careful from now on. Reckless behaviour that you might expect that from a teenager. What were you thinking? Red onions in a risotto! Stick to the tried and tested recipe next time.
After James Seed's recent revelations I am relaxed about things. It can happen this week, next week or the week after - that is all fine.
Not really all fine. The longer we go without a manager the further we fall behind with squad building for next season. Most clubs are already doing this.
True, but I think we can see that a manager is being lined up from what we have been told. A couple of weeks won't be a disaster if it is that long. If it does go on longer, yes, I agree. I am of course assuming the delay is simply EFL fit and proper approval!
For every club that is, or has been on its arse due to woeful ownership, I find it very hard to believe that the EFL would spend two months scrutinising a potential suitors financial position.

Logically the question should be is the new owner more fit and proper than the previous owner? No work would need to be done as the answer to that is obvious.

I've wondered that myself but then it would contradict with what both @Airman Brown and Cawley's sources are saying - that it's with the EFL and we're next in line.

Morning folks. I survived the dinner party, although Mrs D wasn't too pleased with my late arrival. She had to delay our guests, but I just about got the food ready thirty minutes later than planned. I was also a bit knackered after cycling 106kms as training for the Prostate Cancer UK ride on first of June. So I'm about to sit down and write up my recollections of what was said last night (at the meeting, rather than at the dinner party).
I'm interested in the dinner party menu so if you can include that as well, I'm sick to death of all the pot noodle and pizza chat and want to hear about something a bit more sophisticated.
No pot noodles on this occasion, although we do like to keep a pot handy for emergencies.
I made sweet potato and chorizo soup the day before (just as well), and the main course featured a Waitrose cheat: Whole boned chicken with a sunblush tomato marinade. Served that with roast potatoes, baby carrots and French beans. Nothing very fancy I'm afraid. While I was speaking with someone who's cousin met someone connected to the consortium, my wife was busy making raspberry fool and a very nice blueberry cheesecake type thing. Luckily enough some friends found five bottles of Pol Roget in their basement while having a clearout. During the dinner I got into trouble when I was caught looking at my phone. I've worked hard today to make up for being late. I've now been allowed out of the doghouse.
We've got some raspberry fool left if anyone wants to try some?
Thanks for all the information James. The most urgent matter that arises out of all this though is how do I get hold of a serving of the raspberry fool?

When this deal comes to fruition, the Renaissance of CAFC as a football club where the CEO to the tea lady/man are all pulling in the same direction because of the stated ambition of the owners to get this club WiNNING games and emulating the Curbishley/Murray era will be a giant step in the upward direction.
Fair dinkum to the Aussie consortium and
IF we can't get a new owner bounce from a kangaroo populated island then we truly are a bunch of Drongos.
This has been a shameless plug for sponsorship, and has nothing to do with the takeover, or the Aussies https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jimmyduttoncafc

Get well soon.

Not set time to carry out the fit and proper persons test, it could take “two hours, two days or two months”.
Anderson?
Bueller?

Btw, just wanted to thank you lot for not 'speculating' on here who that person could be. Respect to you for not mentioning names at all.
