    Thats not good... Surely he's walking away from the platforms for Charlton trains?
    Actually you can go up escalators on either side for platforms where Charlton trains run through. As you're best off getting off somewhere near the front for Charlton, and that's the direction RD is headed in, I must applaud his efficiency and efforts to expedite the sale of the club in every way possible.

    I'd have thought that Platforms 1 and 2 were for trains too and from Cannon Street | Platforms 3 and 4 for Charing Cross?

    Stop trying to redeem yourself.

    I can't find the recording I did of this song with the "consort choir" at school, so the King's Singers version will have to do. I am a very sad person:

    JW also said he has been told this by the broker of the deal.

    any links to the sound bite?, i need to hear this with my own ears for my own sanity 😂
    TalkSport normally have a catch-up of Jim White' show about 13.20,i will put up a link when it becomes available.
    Hopefully I didn’t hear wrong. It would be soon before I posted, so just after Midday.

    Me too :worried: The inference was certainly that things were afoot and in Louis' tweets, Airman has said that is the message coming out of the club;

    Rick Everitt@airmanbrown

    @Jimwhite now saying on air @talksport that #cafc takeover deal could be done early next week. Can confirm that is the message coming from the club, whether we choose to believe it or not.

    From twitter, Roland at London Bridge

    Anyone know of a sniper in the LB area?
    I'm sure we could all chip in to pay the fee.
    Look, we need to, as a group, make a decision here. Does LB stand for 'Lee Bowyer', 'left back', or the new surprise contender 'London Bridge'. It can't be all three. I don't want to have to work it out via context, that's more work than I'm willing to do.
    Can @bertpalmer sort out a poll?

    Well it wouldnt surprise me if LB stood for Left-Back and that we've actually got a sniper taking out our players

    Would explain the constant injuries

    Good point, but any sniper we hired would either miss or be too injured to show up

    Can't work out how to feel at the moment.....I've been hurt too many times *sniff*

    Should I dare to dream or will those dreams be crushed like so many times before?

    I am torn!

    Be still my beating heart.....

    @JimWhite round up

    - People brokering the deal have said that club will change hands Monday. (Australians)

    - Money is there and been confirmed

    - Thought to be in the region of 20-30 million

    - 'I know some charlton fans are sceptical but I’m on the money with this one'
  • I think one thing we can all potentially agree on, this feels the closest things have been for a long time. If this attempt doesn't get over the line, I suspect we'll be in status quo for another 5-6 months at a minimum.

    JW just been on again stating it's done and should be announced early next week.

    If it's done then why only 'should' be announced next week?

    If it's done, surely it's a given to be announced by Monday latest. Why would they be waiting and waiting to announce it?

    What I'm hoping is, if and when all this is done and dusted, we get the full story.

    Why was Murray so confident last Feb? What happened to that "Done Deal" ? Why did Muir (seemingly) drop out then distance himself? Is this set of Aussies anything like the original make-up of the first reported Aussies? How much did RD sell for, and was he holding out for too much before caving? What's going to happen with the training ground? Can we please not have Fosters on tap in the stands?

  • That looks like two separate photos to me.
    Wait... WHAT???

    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.

    This sums it up for me. Roland is Jim Whites new best friend, Jim's last interview with Roland showed that the anger had gone about our situation and had been replaced with telling us what a lovely man Roland is.

    I would love to be proved wrong but if this turns out to be fabrication then Jim Whites show should be boycotted and the Aussies should be given a clear message to fuck off and stop wasting everyone's time.

    They need to put up or shut up.

    #notapennymore



    If the message that Roland has planted with Jim White turns out to be a fabrication, then the Aussies should be told to f*** off?

    Really?
    Not just the massage from Jim White but all the other messing about. It is clear Muir does not want to spend his own money so if he is still in the frame he is looking for investors to use their cash rather than his own.

    Its crowd funding for rich people, do we really want to be owned by multiple investors instead of one or maybe two. What happens when they all fall out, disagree and want their money back?

    I have a bad feeling about the Aussies and fear we will be no better off if they somehow manage to get a deal across the line.
    All makes sense now.

    I'm really no expert but I think that might have been photoshopped.
