    We’re a touchy bunch these days. I blame the heat

    It's a message board thing :)
  • 100% not happening.

    Roland to bring in a few Belgian cronies and the Club will be run like one in severe administration for a huge part of next season until Varney and his associates hoover it up for a quid probably some time after Christmas.

    I don't think this will be far of the money.

    Let's hope Andrew Muir doesn't have the mood swings some of us have then!
    This is where Andrews Air Conditioning need to be our shirt sponsor again.

    Is that a question or a statement of fact?

    We will have to get C.A.R.D. to campaign on our behalf to keep this thread open after Muir has taken over, so that were ready for the next take - over, it saves all the effort of setting everything up again.

    It’s only taken 13.8 billion years for the universe to get to this thread, you can’t blame it for wanting to keep it around for a bit longer. :wink:
    It’s all part of the cosmic dance, everyone, when you think of it like that, it’s kinda groovy, in its way.
    I am receiving treatment.....

    Why post something like that unless you know 100% that is actually true? Or are you just craving attention?

    Craving attention obvs.

    Wasn't he just joking?

    Yes, jokingly craving attention.

    I thought that was the point of Social Media?

    Yeah maybe

    I don't get it

    spouting nonsense on this thread is zzzzzz



    If it's nonsense you want look at the majority of comments on any brexit thread.

    If anyone other than Muir is going to announce this takeover (should it happen), please let it be @Tracey (with all due respect to others who may get a tip off, of course).

    Yes this is at the forefront of all addicks' minds as our club continues its drift into obscurity through another close season.

    Hope Olly breaks it on the OS. Good if it was a fan and long serving/suffering member of staff.

    He probably wont be able due to NDA's etc. yet would love to hear Olly's version of events under the RD years

    A pigeon on the pitch could announce it and I would be happy.

    The only thing I'm breaking at the moment is an extraordinary amount of wind.

    Who was that person on reception that Karl Robinson praised in his post match interview? Maybe we should give her a call

    Looks like they are getting all the bad news out of the way now - Bauer, GK coach etc and generally clearing the decks - Marshall, Konsa (a move seems to have been on the cards for ages) then the announcement will happen and the re build will begin. For this to be the case, you would have thought there is a fair chance that Bowyer will be manager next year and has been liaising with the Aussies over the last few weeks. This could, of course, be wrong but certainly looking like a highly feasible scenario at the moment.

    Key reasons why Muir's lot might not be defined as Fit & Proper by the FA:

    In general, a businessman will fail the test if:
    - They have power or influence over another Football League club
    - They hold a significant interest in another Football League club
    - They become prohibited by law from being a director
    - They are filing for bankruptcy
    - They have been director of a club while it has suffered two or more unconnected events of insolvency
    - They have been a director of two or more clubs of which, while they have been director, has suffered an event of insolvency


    Reading that gives me a great hope.

    Any indication of what sort of funds will be available if this takeover ever goes ahead?

    Olly didn't make the ride. He let Tracey down. It won't do at all. He's got to go.

    So has anything actually changed in the past 12 hours or are we just assuming it’ll happen a bit sooner now?

    Goodness me, there’s your significant news, he’s been typing up a press release since Thursday night.....

    NDA's or not, the truth of working under the nightmeire's pyongyang purgatory and generally in roly's toxic pantomime will find its way out to our ears and screens. Nobody working there now will owe the septuagenarian shit4brains, nor his preposterous toadies, one atom of loyalty one second past his scrawny arse being out the door for good.
    Officially 'the new lot' (please god such a thing exists) may prefer that there isn't too much "bad press" but privately the worse the old cnut looks, the better they will look and the easier their 'hearts and minds' exercise will be.
    The new beginning can't come a moment too soon, until then: not a penny more, no compromise, no forgiveness, no excuses.
