Vincenzo texted me while I was working this morning with the news. Suffice to say, I couldn't believe it and asked for more detail, doubting Thomas that I am!
When it sunk in, the first person I told was my Dad. I looked up to the sky and whispered "did you hear that Dad, it's over? I guess he already knew. Then my eyes watered, I wish he was here to share this with me.

Is Twoshits getting £60m just the money he lent us being paid off or does he get £60m plus the money he lent us?1

Thanks for posting the Standard article @stoneroses19. I'm the spokesperson- didn't request anonymity but, hey, who cares!1

I would imagine it would be done well before Christmas and New Year so probably not more than a month but a few weeks absolute max though I agree it will be a frustrating time waiting if we have to wait more than a week at most IMO.ForeverAddickted said:

Would be happy if it gets announced on the pitch before the Hull game on Friday 13th Dec but honestly just so long as it gets done and announced before the January window opens there's not much else different the new owners can do anyway between now and then.

Wrote on the pre-match thread early this morning that fans needed to get behind the team more than ever. Then came the great news. Now The Valley is going to be rocking. Can't wait.0

Yes I am. I like the view behind the goal, and it's also where my dad stood, before he met my mum.CafcSCP said:

I have actually got a copy of Soccer from the Inside that was given to my mum to pass on to me by Eddie Firmani, back in the 60's. My version of the other one says The Sportsmans Book Club 1958 - was that the original version or did the SBC just cover it?JamesSeed said:

This is really naff, as are references to tea towels. For fecks sake, people, show a bit of respect to those of a different race or culture.sillav nitram said:Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan
Have we been taken over by a Dustman?
Not sure I like the sound of this.
(For your information, Bin means 'son of' and the Al ... at the end is usually a reference to the person's home town or region).16 -

I hear they plan to spend £77.5M in the next transfer window.😃31

PWR. Don’t you just know a Charlton fan is going to win the euro millions jackpot tonight and post tomorrow they could have bought the club if it was still for sale0

Does anyone know how much they can spend to stay within financial fair play. Can they sell themselves the Valley and training ground like Derby and cheat?1

Just keep everything crossed that there's no wicked stepmother/father to spoil the plot.
Keep asking Mr F to pinch me.....after I wake him up.
He's ever been so excited ! :-)2 -

Have to believe it now makes us debt free, except for possibly the loans to directors. Given our low losses this year, we suddenly have one of the best financial statements in England. And now with the money to back us in a way few clubs have.AddicksAddict said:Is Twoshits getting £60m just the money he lent us being paid off or does he get £60m plus the money he lent us?0 - Sponsored links:

It is when, not if. I really don't think they would have announced it on the official site if they hadn't already been tipped off by the EFL that it will go through on the nod.MartinCAFC said:

That's the thing, we dont know much about the deal. So much was mentioned about what RD wanted, the existing directors loans, and what about the deal with Footscray Rugby club and Training Ground rebuild.NapaAddick said:

Just been woken up in Hokitika in New Zealand by footie friends texting the news!! Literally sat crying with joy and wish I was at the Valley tomorrow.
Oh well, will have to enjoy more of this beautiful land first.😀13 -
Agreed, I wasn't disputing if it would go through it does appear when as you say. My point was whether its days or a couple of weeks away it won't make much difference what they can do.bobmunro said:

Someone mentioned contracts but i'm sure these will happen in the background even before the deal is announced and a few days or a couple of weeks shouldn't make any difference to this.
One thing i'm really looking forward to under new owners are contract negotiations not being dragged out forever! I get the vibe under these owners new contracts for Bowyer and Taylor will be agreed quickly.
