    For someone supposedly in the know, @JameSeed posts far too much for my liking.

    Hope I'm wrong, but I think you're going to fall flat on your face fella.

    JamesSeed. You say that we're all enjoying this thread in our own way. Sorry, but that is utter rubbish. How you can say that whilst the future of CAFC hangs by a thread (no pun intended) is beyond me.

    I didn’t mean that we’re enjoying the situation, I mean we’re devouring any relevant info like starving men.

    When I said ‘the window is open’, the fella shrugged and said they’ve already spent two years and a million quid on this. It’s a long term project. Patience etc.
    I’ve also heard via a friend on CL that transfer negotiations are going on in the background while things are being sorted with the sale. No idea if that’s still the case.

    This is all really frustrating. Was really hoping there’d be an announcement when Muir gets back. Maybe there still will be.
    Damn you @DOUCHER !
    Don't blame me Johnny. I don't blame you for posting what you did last week or so either. We all just post what we have heard in good faith. It wasn't the positive news I was hoping for obviously but lets see what happens next week I guess but I'm certainly of the understanding that it is not, at the moment, a done deal.
    I blame you for everything

    What? All I’ve done is report one meeting and a message, and that means I suddenly can’t post on here. That’s slightly weird.

    And what I posted was what something someone else said, so it’s not about me being right or wrong.

    How could I fall on my face exactly? If the Aussies pull out? If there’s a delay? If that happens it just means they’ve pulled out. It’s not like I’ve had £100 on it.

    What exactly have I said that you disagree with?

    People asking this thread to be closed are getting almost as boring as the people posting nonsense (like me).

    @carly burn Odd comment. And putting "Hope I'm wrong" doesn't absolve you from anything. Don't let the frustrations turn into negativity please. It only spirals out of control.

    To be honest I'd call it the official Fish Pun, nothing's been proved right yet so it's all a Red Herring.

    Just heard through a mate that the Aussies have pulled out and an Israeli with a lot of money is now the front runner he’s not even a Charlton fan but is normally in the know with things like this... hope it’s wrong as no doubt that won’t exactly be soon.

    From now on, nobody post anything but cold, hard takeover-related FACT. Two corroborating sources minimum.


    Starting... from....... now!

    I’m holding a seance, hold on I’m getting a message, ‘yes, I can hear you, you’re someone ITK and have some information for the forum, yes, can you tell us what it is? You’re dead?’

    Only if it's happened in the last 24 hours, otherwise I'd say it's not true

    Just skimmed through 110 new posts and I'm still none the wiser.
    James Seed getting bullied as well
    Shocking:)
    Only one thing for it I'm afraid.

    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

    8 weeks until the start of the season. We really are a complete balls-up of a club right now.

    You've not had the best inside info so far to be fair.

    From my reckoning only me and NLA have been 100 per cent right so far although I'm sure many will disagree - not that it matters. It will happen.

    If it doesn't matter why keep saying it?

    What have I reported that's been wrong btw? The Aussies thought end of May, but they also said they're patient.

    They also said they have money, and you or NLA haven't proved that they haven't.

    Your mate saying he thinks they haven't isn't proof.

    No, everyone just keep a stiff upper lip, have a large G & T and remember the old adage "When it's on the OS"

    Club is 113 years old on 9 June. Another week or month is a drop in the ocean compared to the time the club has existed.

    Didn’t you claim due Dilligence hadn’t started which the club confirmed had started, you then changed your story?

    The take over will not happen before 7 am! Can I now claim to be correct?

    Beginning to think this takeover will take 113 years.

    But then the Aussies are a patient bunch.

    Maybe. But another week or a month has a HUGE effect on what we do over the course of the next year.
