    JW now saying last night's talks were hugely positive and it could still happen this week

    I see nothing positive if the deal is to have the club and the ground in different hands.

    We don't even know who was involved in the talks do we? Is this Australians and Americans taking about making a bid or is it a consortium and the club?

    So nothing has happened then.

    Maybe, maybe not.

    It reads as if there was a meeting. That is something happening.

    What that means depends on your world view.

    If you are an optimist/Rose tinted glasses wearer - a price was agreed and now the potential buyers onlu need to agree that they are happy to release funds to finalise. It COULD be close.

    If you are a pessimist/AFKA Type - The price is still the sticking point and nothing has been agreed. It's NOT close.

    If you are a Golfie type - They haven't got the money and nothing has good has happened or will ever happen to Charlton ever.

    If you are a part of #teamWIOTOS then it's WIOTOS

    Niether do I.
    It would almost be as bad as Roland selling the club and retaining the valley.

    We've had Roland for too long.

    If it means Roland retains nothing in our club, I am quite pleased. Obviously I would prefer 100% ownership, but I won't worry too much if both invest to make us a money making, successful premier league side in 5 years. :wink:

    I’m sure my view will be in a minority but the Football Club / Valley split is only bad if the deal agreed is bad.

    There are scenarios where it could be very helpful to an ambitious football club owner who would prefer to spend on getting the football club into the top flight as the priority. Thats where the big bucks are and buy the real estate on agreed terms further down the line. Of course that’s a good view and there are also bad scenarios but just assuming it’s 100% bad is not quite true.

    I'm actually with you on that.

    A consortium between two countries opposite sides of the world doesn't sit right with me.

    I actually think we are better off with RD until another interested party decides to pay the ludicrous price.

    This is becoming like one of those reality shows or documentaries, edited to build up the tension. Alternate the comments, some super positive, some negative..

    "This cake has the potential to be sensational"
    "If the cake doesn't cool quickly enough, it'll be a disaster"
    "I don't know if it's cool enough, but I have to ice it now"

    I will review my bid after the transfer window closes.

    I've officially removed the Quality Street/Heroes/Roses offer made pre Christmas and am currently negotiating with Thorntons on their 2019 Easter Egg collection to add back into my revised bid.

    Still looking for additional backers to help the Club get past the first week of my ownership, which is what I'm currently able to finance.

    I have two unopened boxes of Matchmakers if that helps, will happily donate if it gets the deal over the line

    Just to be clear on my stance. I'm not a pessimist per se and not just saying 'won't happen' for the sake of it. I've just simply seen or heard nothing over the last two years that has led me to hold a strong belief that anything was imminently successful.

    Whenever there has been a spike of 'its happening' excitement, its always underlined by too many unknowns and o/s obstacles to give any confidence it that 'this is it'.

    I still think there is a chance of this current interest being successful, but there has not been enough info currently out there to give confidence that it will.

    that's my view

    Why do I believe it will happen? I fall for it every fecking time. I REALLY thought this was the time. Now it feels like someone has booted me in the guts. And it's January. The Tatters household is a right old joy to behold at the moment.

    I hope the hens are keeping well

    We think the takeover will be completed in February. (Last year)

    Assume he did infact mean February 2019.

    Just so we're clear...

    There's been no bid, no money has been unlocked and we could still complete this week.

    Righto.

    Exactly.......the Devil is in the detail.

    After all - there don't appear to be too many people saying that West Ham are getting legged over with a lease arrangement for the ground currently.
