  • A fan on the tube said with total conviction, 'Curbishley and Varney are buying us.' Just saying.
    Heard PV is of to Notts County.
  • 1626, Charles 1 is crowned.
    0526 Lee 1 is crowned. 
  • Someone posting on FB that the deal is already done. 
  • Asking price has gone up to £100M today I would imagine.
  • Come on, Aussies. You know what to do. Very encouraging that they were there.

  • Who were the two middle Eastern looking fellas sitting with Curbs?
  • The Sectet Footballer tweeted last night that a deal to sell Charlton has been done!
    The Secret Footballer is believed to be Dave Kitson.

    One was Karim Bagheri.

    Lot of this around in the last few days. One problem though is journos coming fresh to the story and taking what they are told at face value.

    Muir’s interest is genuine and has been consistent, but he hasn’t been prepared to buy the club outright. Amazing the Aussies are still there two years after the story broke, but there is other interest.
    So if there’s other interest it doesn’t suggest anything is close?

    Feels like yet another fruitless round of stories.

    Muir and Murphy were in the lounge today 

    A year on since they last appeared in front of Charlton fans. 
    Given up trying to work out what their motives are. Bizarre that their takeover deal could still be alive 2 years later, as you'd assume with any normal buyer that they'd either have closed the deal OR moved on to other targets

    After the game Murray told Jim White he hopes it was Roland’s last game as owner.
    Don't we all?  Doesn't mean it will be.

    Fear you may be correct Seth. All we can do is keep our fingers (and everything else) crossed.

    When you lose something, you look in lots of places until you find it.  Not finding it in the first few places you look doesn't mean it won't be found eventually.

    If a price has been agreed but it involves a significant extra payment upon promotion I can see why prospective buyers might balk at it.  Giving Roland an extra £10m or whatever for achieving what he failed to do/couldn't be bothered to attempt would stick in my craw too.  Cross fingers that problem is gone now and the arguing over a few player sell-on clauses can be put to bed quickly.
