I love shit like this. With all the technology we have now, what could possibly take 6 days to ‘file’. Unless we’ve got my doctors receptionist on the case.MarcusH26 said:61 -
I'd presume the paperwork is good to go, so it's just a case of filing it and then it can be checked and confirmed? 5-6 days I presume is the time given by the EFL to submit it.0

Charlton’s approach to completing takeovers is akin to my approaching to completing household chores48
-
Surely using the house buying analogy we are in the period between exchange and completion0
-
I'm just wondering beyond Companies House formalities what on earth is left to file? Would have thought everything else would have been done.0
-
They've had all summer to get paperwork sorted!1
-
The way they talk to you like you've never experienced a takeover before. No, this is only the 4th time in nine years5

A shortage of things standing still?se9addick said:

Crying and throwing up. Bought my season ticket last night and just feels like I’ve been betrayed.27

They need to get a professional filing clerk, who knows how to operate a hole punch; what length treasury tags to allocate and how to fill in the 6" x 4" cross-reference cards.MarcusH26 said:1 -
It’s done, clearly just a formality, actually looking forward to the season now.However, me this time last season: “I’m actually looking forward to the season now”.15

We already had 4 days since the agreement was given of course the cock up by FA and the Womens team that was solved yesterday could be the paperwork there talking about??Mendonca In Asdas said:

Yes, that's pretty much what Cawley said 30 minutes ago - you're getting quicker.

I imagine if it’s the EFL then it’s a capacity issue. We won’t be the only job for them and probably not a priority either. If you think that’s slow, try working in or with local government.0

The EFL and FA have approved the takeovers but who would have signed the contracts and had them witnessed before this happened?
This can nowadays be done electronically but it needs time.

Methven’s mate is the ideal burger boy replacement:
‘Davison is, of course, a lifelong Sunderland supporter and famously once portrayed club mascot Samson the Cat on match days, rising up through the club to become a marketing and sponsorship executive before his departure in 2005 to take up a role at Wembley Stadium.’

Ok then, Methven interview ready to go.
Inevitably the interview and the motivations behind it are already being slagged off in certain quarters in the usual style, so I'm posting as a reminder the original intro article which explains that this was all CM's own initiative, The link to the main article is at the bottom of that one. When you get to it, you'll see the banner image is a mess, bear with us, I may need techie help with that.
I think the main benefit is an insight into how the structure will work (assuming he is still able to speak for all significant consortium members). There's more than will be possible to put into a club PR statement even if they wanted to. But there were interesting things he asked to keep off the record, and other things we had no time for, such as the future of the real estate. As you will see, he really wanted to talk about him at Sunderland which I managed to avoid until we got to the end of the designated running time, and Zoom terminated that abruptly
Looking forward to see what people make of it30 -
“Should…..take…..6…..days…..to…..file”

Of course he will. Ronnie Moore has openly admitted ( as Bexley Boy on ITTV) that he only posts on CL to wind people up & yet people who respond on here are criticised for being bullies.shirty5 said:
He can’t help himself. Methven will be more involved than you’re making out.RonnieMoore said:
Simple answer no.. He only getting a thank you small percentage of shares around 5%, said many times he not been leading this takeover and will not have any say in the day to day running of the club that will be down to Rodwell in the UK and JF and Brener in the USA .charltonbob said:
& seeing that Methven was nothing to do with the takeover what is he doing there & will he be playing any part in the running of the club when the people who are taking it over, actually take it over ?RonnieMoore said:
Thats Rodwell who will be replacing Storrie and running the club on a day to day basisThe Red Robin said:
Didn’t know Gerry Adams was a Charlton fan. Is he the celeb we were trying to guess?charlton_hero said:5 -
Two wrongs don’t make a right mate. If he winds you up, just ignore him, same for any other posters that wind you up.charltonbob said:
