Don't damage it before you get to the dentist for gawds sake otherwise it'll be harder to get out!orpingtonRED said:Think there will be a lot of people online today hoping for good news. How many times have we gone throught it now only for nothing to happen.
Surely we are due a change of fortune. I am having a wisdom tooth out this afternoon and i'm already bricking it at least this will somewhat take my mind of it.
Good luck by the way and remember it'll only hurt when you laugh

Because that's the only way we are going to get rid of the Helmet Douchebag shitweasel.Cardinal Sin said:
Why would agreeing to pay Duchatelet extra dosh in the future be a dream scenario? The bloke's a greedy leech. I want this deal to be cut n dried based on a market price and no more.soapboxsam said:Dream Scenario.
Bowyer and coaching staff agree new improved contract with Duchatelet Today
Dalman's bid is accepted after agreeing to paying RD some extra Dosh when/if we reach the Premier.(covered by TV money so Mehmet bites the bullet)
Dalman brings Warnock to be Director of Football to work with Bowyer, Gallen and JJ and uses his 50 years in football to network his contacts.
The best possible Scenario.
How can't CL members see that he needs to be given an exit strategy where in his unique and weird mind he is a Michael Winner.
(We all know he is a loser)2 -
Of course we would all be happy if somebody paid over the odds if that got rid of him, but that has to assume they are as mad as he is, which is unlikely to be possible.1

Was my birthday too yesterday; some good news on the takeover would have been the best birthday present!NapaAddick said:No, just the last 50. It's my birthday, I did not wanna get depressed.0 -
People talking about Warnock coming in if Mehmet completes the takeover but for me that is far from going to happen and would disrupt the good work put in by Bowyer, Jackson, and Gallen.
The positions we desperately need to fill off of the pitch when a takeover does happen is a CEO and CFO.
Take the pressure off of what seems to be Gallen managing the vast majority of proceedings with contracts and signings. Let him get back to his main role as that will allow him time to work and network for current and potential players without the strain of managing other aspects too that is not normally the role of a Head of Recruitment.
There is a lot to be done when a takeover does eventually go through, and if it is Mehmet, the last thing we need to be thinking about is Warnock coming in as Director of Football.3 -
Then we're stuck with him forever.MuttleyCAFC said:Of course we would all be happy if somebody paid over the odds if that got rid of him, but that has to assume they are as mad as he is, which is unlikely to be possible.1 -
He won't live for ever.
I think he has shown that he will always react so maybe we need to find the right thing that pushes him over the edge. Standard fans seemed to have found it. Not saying we should do that, just making an observation.1 -
Our unadulterated innocent overwhelming hope is really quite tragic, even if some of us try to disguise it underneath cynical scepticism.
The bald truth is we continue to be owned by Duchatelet, and the management and many significant players are free to do whatever they please in 16 days time.
Not the basis for getting a season ticket as far as I am concerned.
This takeover talk is repetitive and continually empty, yes one day something might accidentally happen but how often do we need to bitten in order to be how many times shy?
Van Turk Stobart has no doubt bogged off yesterday after his three day week, so no fresh spin until next Tuesday seeing as how the nutter will devote less that his 2% time (under 2 hours) until his lickspittle returns.4 - Sponsored links:

Sorry, I must be missing something...Scoham said:From the forum that shall not be named - the Welsh journalist said Dalman and Warnock are very close and he’d bring him with him if he takes over.
Who's paying Warnock's wages? Dalman or Tann? As far as I can see, Warnock's contract is with Tann. Would he resign, give up any remaining value of his contract, to come to a club where he will almost certainly unpopular, because he has replaced a club legend?
I don't get the impression Warnock is that stupid...3 -
Think there's a touch of tongue in cheek you've missed.JamesSeed said:
Cheers AFKA, from all other contributors who’ve tried to pass on some info to the board when they can. This sort of petty comment does you no favours.AFKABartram said:
About time we finally heard from someone who knows what his talking about. Cheers Douche, that’s reassuring.Scoham said:@DOUCHER posted this in the Bowyer thread, but it’s just as relevant here:DOUCHER said:Haven't read last few pages or been on this morning but just had a bulletin. We are nearly there I think - Bowyers and many others contracts will follow on from the takeover which I believe is at a very advanced stage with the ex Cardiff chairman - verified from inside the club. Watch this space.
Whoosh 🌬️💨1 -
Not in Scotland where we have closing dates and sealed bids. But that is far too sensible.JamesSeed said:

I wonder why after at least 18 months and a year since the Aussies wore scarfs at a Charlton match people would LOL your comments ? I hope your info is correct Bollox.bolloxbolder said:

Some of you consider Two Chalets the antichrist. Let me ask you. Was RD's first action after acquiring Charlton to sack a club legend, and replace him with his own man? Nope.
Yes, he sacked CP, but we were bottom of the table, and had just been knocked out of the F.A. Cup by a lower league team. So, at least, it had the SEMBLANCE of making sense!
So, if Dalman were to come in, and immediately replace Bows with Warnock he would 1) NOT be a good football man, and 2) Begin his tenure as owner of Charlton Athletic in a worse way than Two Chalets did!2 -

Think people are getting way ahead of themselves with this Warnock stuff. Talk about jumping to conclusions.22

Bowyer not signing a contract thus far has more to do with the negotiation being a shambles on the club side than the imminence of a takeover.

It really takes delusions to new levels when people are planning Warnock to become Director of Football (whatever that means) before we have even signed Bowyer, been taken over and Warnock has said he'll leave.Curb_It said:Think people are getting way ahead of themselves with this Warnock stuff.

A robin has just landed right next to me. It is a sign I tell you. We’ve only gone and cracked it. Put the bloody kettle on.
Today, for a change, I’m going to order Addick!!!!2 -
Airman Brown, If a Take over was/is so close, would not any prospective new owner have a say in what contract is negotiated with Bowyer?Airman Brown said:Bowyer not signing a contract thus far has more to do with the negotiation being a shambles on the club side than the imminence of a takeover.0
