This ain't happening. Jim been fed another plate of shyte like the rest.
What do you think Duchatelet’s motive for misleading Jim White is then? What does he gain from that? And spare us any nonsense about curtailing the almighty wrath of the fans’ forum or the prospect of protests hundreds of miles away from him, which in fact it is more likely to provoke.
My cynical stance is JW has been fed info that has some high profile excitement points of ‘could’ attached to it that grab headlines, but underlying it are a whole host of ifs and maybes that would be required to bring it to fruition. Exactly the same way you were similarly unintentionally burnt on this in the past from well connected sources that you trust where the ‘could’ point come and past.
As soon as the 48-72hr angle was played I dampened my expectation as it just doesn’t seem feasible on that timeline without a host of other information becoming common knowledge. If it is announced tomorrow then I’ll be happy for this to look stupid, but even if this group does eventually progress then more would have emerged by now for it to be this week.
My best guess is I foresee a mass escalation of ‘what’s happening’? next week.
I don’t expect anything tomorrow, but I’m quite convinced that JW’s information was given to him by Duchatelet or someone acting for him in good faith and used on air in the same spirit. I just don’t think RD knows what he’s doing.

I know how long it took to get to the point of signing a 2,000sq foot office lease agreement between two willing, known, uncomplicated partners - best part of four months once the lawyers got involved.
Appreciate this "deal" has allegedly been going on for over a year but somehow can't see it all suddenly falling into place in next 24 hours.
I'm preparing for my weekend in the West of Scotland.

It's all been made up by White. Roland has said nothing.
The fella is shrewd, he wants to ensure hundreds of thousands of footie fans tune in to his programme getting him a pay rise.
Atlassian - Jira Software used in Agile project methodology. Another methodology and software to support it. A passing fad like so many others. They probably have money to burn right now but it will dry up eventually or they sell to a Google, Oracle or Microsoft and we become their pet project !

Probably for the same reason his regime has been lying to us from the start, blokes a c***.
So the owner of the club genuinely believes it will be sold this week and tells his tame journo as much in good faith but in fact he is entirely mistaken because...
1. He has lost his mind. 2. He just likes to hear his name mentioned on the radio. 3. He is not the real owner of the club at all but an imposter posing as a wealthy Belgian sociopath, while the real Roland Duchatelet is being held hostage in a garage in Antwerp and fed on 14 chips a day.

So, what you're saying is, Charlton will be owned by Google, Oracle or Microsoft very soon?

I reckon the Duchebag is angling to even the score following their cosy meal after their radio chat.
If you remember JW was very excited at the prospect of dinner and a fine bottle of something, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in the Duchebag ideology and it's Jim's turn to pay this time.

Putting 2 and 2 together it’s probably Apple that are linked.
Just like to add that I believe not a word of any of you or jim white and that come February 1st we’ll be back to bickering about things like vegan sausage rolls.
Jim whites been played, and further down the food chain that is charlton , we’re being played as well,it’s just your normal transfer window, at ease everyone.

Could it be that Roland has decided to put this news out there as an excuse not to reinvest in the squad during the January transfer window? He has used an imminent takeover as an excuse in previous windows and may want to make it sound imminent to cover himself during January?

Why does he need to do that at all, and do it via national radio and the only UK media person with whom he has established a rapport though? It is also coming out via Lee Bowyer (in the Standard and privately), staff at The Valley, at least one ex-director and the Sunday tour of the facilities, as well as via other posters on here.
It’s a very elaborate subterfuge when he has the FF next week at which he could get De Turck to put out any message he wants.

Although I thought he called them German Shepherds

Sales forecast, my arse.
What's been his excuse the rest of the time?
