    Big week this one, one way or t’other

    And I'm off on holiday. The gilfriend will get very angry of I spend the whole time on this site waiting for it to happen.

    Then again I did pay for the holiday as she's still a student (scrounger sponger etc.) So I'm probably within my rights to tell her to fuck off.
    Yes, but you won't will you?

    Really appreciate your comments James Seed but back off on your cringe factor with I’m first this that and the other , it’s not pretty

    Agreed. You and @Airman Brown are right, but it just felt a bit creepy seeing this info appearing a few days later like that. But apparently he had that info confirmed today, hence his tweets. Good stuff. It really is about to happen, isn't it.

    I dont think too many of us would care if Stan Colymore's 'Uncle Tom' broke the story as long as it does break.

    The takeover is far more important than who knew first, or second and claims to know first, or third but looked over seconds shoulder and then wrote down that he was also first.

    Up the Addicks and lets hope this is concluded this week now so we can focus on moaning about England, or not crossing the road to watch England, or not understanding how anyone else would cross the road to watch England.

    England? We'll still be talking about the takeover and worrying that appointing a new manager and signing players is taking too long :smile:

    #cafc takeover update. It is hoped - and I must emphasise that word - that the takeover will happen this week. But, but, but - there are variables that mean this is not definite.

    I've been told that nothing issue-wise on the 'fit and proper' EFL test. But Andrew Muir's consortium have had to be patient in this process. #cafc

    Muir flew back into the UK before the weekend. Duchatelet not slowing deal - he just wants to offload #cafc.

    So what's stopping the deal from going through? Both parties want it to happen.
    It does beg that question.

    The Aussie have been on the scene since March 17 and Duchatelet expected a sale in at least as far back as January 18 as he didnt see any need to replace Meire as he was about to sell.

    Money, either the lack of or disagreement on price I guess. The "when we know what division we are in" never made sense with the lack of replacement for Meire six months ago and make no sense now given the deal still hasn't been announced.

    It feels to me like the fat lady is clearing her throat.
    Hopefully not to launch a large flob on us all

    Possible takeover, start of the World Cup and four more episodes of Love Island.

    The Aussies want to sign it with a CAFC pen and are waiting for the club shop to open.

    Totally agree.

    It's now getting exciting on many fronts.

    New owners, England are going to make the final, the Tour de France...

    My guess is that the final delays are all down to red tape involving payments to former directors and uncertainty over ownership of certiam assets caused by the lack of due diligence by previous owners, I actually get the impression old grumpy balls can't get rid quick enough now.

    You are well within your rights regardless of her being student or indeed if she had paid for the holiday. However, if you do tell her to £uck off, she will remember and still go on and on and on about It 20 years later......whatever you do is wrong, so you might as well upset the applecart
    all the time!

    Relax jimmy - Cawley is just reiterating what I said last week which is no surprise coz he gets told a few days after I do normally. OAFDUMP, however annoying that may be for some.

    So is it still a few weeks away as you said last week or is it possible that it's this week like Cawley has said?
