Mr Seed imsorry to say in the last few days ive started to feel thats exactly whats been happening-----the plan behind it ? no idea. The length this is taking is utter bollox we sold a hotel for plus £80 milllion in 95 owners from Japan ,hotel in London buyers Thailand.Three possible buyers---three DDs. Done in 3 months
Well, I will certainly be celebrating when the takeover finally happens. I’ll be in the White Swan as long as I’m still standing,ready to drink with any Charlton fan, bitch about the now gone Roland era, get excited about the future and tell stories of proper Charlton days gone by.
And I’ll be in for my ST day one. I’ll give the Aussies or anyone else who comes in the warmest of welcomes and the benefit of the doubt.
Having had 4 years of my Charlton life fucked up, I’m going to make the most of the new era.
Am sure lots of us will be joining mate, I will be for sure!

That makes the delays here even more annoying. I’m looking forward to hearing what (or who) caused them.
Any of the supposed ITK lot starting to feel like they’ve been played?
If I’m included in that list (which I hope I’m not), very much no.
Then someone has to explain why we’re no closer then ever before, and we’re two weeks away from the transfer window closing.
How distressed do they want the asset to be?
I can’t see any reason why the Aussies would want to slow down the sale. Their investors will want to get off to a flying start, not a relegation battle.
I’m scanning CL. same as anyone else looking for clues, hoping to see the It’s Happening gif.

Actually, with all that cash swishing about, maybe you should be buying the club ;-)
Man alive, I hope it happens soon. Weeks ago I bought a cheap bottle of sparkle so I could celebrate whenever the takeover happens. I've a horrible feeling I'll be sitting on a rare vintage by the time this deal is done.

The White Swan will be packed - but maybe not as packed as when we screened the Jimmy Seed film ;-)
Any of the supposed ITK lot starting to feel like they’ve been played? Or not actually in the know and just like like the attention, with the past 1000 weeks being the week we get taken over

No you won't! NV champagne goes off quite quickly (particularly if not kept in ideal conditions). Maybe 3-4 years after purchase, maximum. Cheap sparkling wine just gradually deteriorates. Drink it now and buy some more in due course.
The meeting between Lee Bowyer and Richard Murray has just broken up, and it has been decided (unlike the dreadful fans forum farrago) to release the minutes. I have copied them for all fans below.
I took minutes once. Just like that. Haven't been asked to since...

A relegation battle is what they're going to get if this deal doesn't happen by early next week. We probably need to sign a player just about every other weekday between now and the Sunderland game to avoid this.
We have an injury hit thin squad which will be fighting relegation as things stand. The last time I was this worried pre season was coming back from Belgium going into the 15/16 relegation season.

Cheers for the advice cafcfan. No need to worry, there's no chance of it lasting 3-4 years, until Christmas much past Tuesday in our house.

Maybe you can invite the chap you had a beer with, to the Swan Jim
The time it is taking to get this deal done is a huge disappointment. I can't believe the Aussie's have wasted the whole summer (& this coming season) by failing to get the deal over the line since they made themselves publically known at the playoffs in May.
In fact we have taken multiple steps backwards bearing in mind the amount of players that have left and been replaced by just two signings.
I see Bowyer's meeting with Murray yesterday being a very key event e.g.
LB: What the fu*k is going on Richard? Is this deal going to get done so I can be confirmed as perm manager and buy the first choice transfer targets I need to get this club promoted OR are we writing off this season in which case I should just offer contracts to the best freebies we can find (including current triallists) to ensure we avoid a relegation battle.
No takeover in the next 10 days & 2018/19 will be over before it starts.
"the season is over before its started" ------ im getting the same feeling.
5loans gone----2 sold---kashi left---1 legal issues and three injured.RD has always operated with a small squad now its a net ten down even with the new signings. Anything other than staying up is an achievement----a big one.
as for waiting in EFL clearance do naff off-----The leed Aussie could have stepped in whilst looking fot two or more investors at a later stage etc etc.The EFL issue is either a LIE or a SMOKE SCREEN .
As for the Murray/Bowyer meeting ,o dear o dear that in itself is bad news-----if new owners were on the way there is no need for Murray to meet anyone.
Dark dark days at CAFC and not because we cant turn the lights on ! The damage being done to the back bone support by RD and the reluctant buyers is huge-----at the moment Div 4 is calling and possibly the total end of CAFC
This horrific no where land needs to end NOW.The buyer needs to comit or leave and we the fans need to decide what our own individual decision is ---go or stay
