    The Yawn yesterday was because CAFC takeover rumours are tiresome , you can't sell something for more than it's worth.

    Equally though something is only worth what someone is willing to pay and if the Aussies have agreed then that’s that!!

    Maybe be balls but my brother said he met some academy players in zens Friday night and they said that it was basically dine hence Phillips getting signed - however they said they were told that before when it was rumoured to be close. Also could also be drunken boasting/exaggeration. 

    No clue to the validity of the story but hey ho

    So you’re saying it’s definitely happening, probably within the next two weeks, but there might be some hurdles to overcome?

    Sounds like a Porky Gammon because Lyle Taylor said on Thursday he'd heard sweet FA. That's also why he wasn't confident on that Sunderland  home match when it was happening, or not happening as it turned out.

    Not claiming it's true and couldn't give a monkeys if I'm wrong - just putting what I've been told out there. Absolutely shady info that isn't  first hand but that's what rumours are about?

    Rules on rumours:

    Please no Brothers, or other family members, no friends who have degrees in bullshit,
    It must be you, and only you.
     
    If it's the broker of the sale of cafc better still, but Taxi lad has the patent on that so sitting in a restaurant, not Macdonald's But the Ivy in London is cool and over hearing a lawyer state that he has the forms with the signature of Duchatelet and some Exotic Arab guy, you know the feller who won the Derby two years back as owner.

    Please rumour mongers think outside the box,  

    Be the person who see's our club Secretary with a boomerang and his wife Sue with a Didgeridoo and maybe in tears as they will miss the Duchatelet dark period in our History.
    Taxi lad has set the bar high, let's not lower so far that a dancer of limbo can't get under.

    So some young Charlton fans were pretending to be academy players on a night out, then.

    In the same way that me and some pals pretended we were the GB Figure Skating team in Tenerife aged 18... :-)
  • So, any takeover news yesterday?......please!!

    Muir is now the only Australian investor, which suggests they are in no position to complete, but the party who walked away after being quoted more than £70m before Christmas are now back at the table.
    What about the Americans who were said to be involved with the Aussies?

    At last. A real piece of information.

    Should we stop calling them “the Aussies” ?

    why do you think because Muir is now the only Australian investing that the consortium is not in a position to complete ?

    Where’s that suddenly coming from? Got to love Charlton 
  • Am I right in thinking that it was Usmanov who was quoted £70m previously?
