    Just like Argentina 78 bring the notes in a bin liner and chuck em off the top of the West!

    The anticipated takeover of Charlton is possibly the best kept secret in the entire history of the world. The CIA must be kicking themselves that they aren't this effective at keeping such a tight lid on a story.

    Expect a rash of new dates / rumours after the game tomorrow from those in the West Stand bar / hospitality / carpark who happened to overhear someone very close to the board or perhaps even a board member say something 'off-the-record' which reveals the truth ... ... ... or so-and-so gave the thumbs-up, so they are sure it is imminent ;-)


    However, don't forget my prediction from 6 days ago in this thread, it will be announced 10th October ;-)

    I will wager a whole shilling that there will be a decision on the takeover by next Friday. I would not take more of your money than that.

    Redrobo, how about instead of the shilling, if the takeover hasn't been sorted by next Friday, you change your username to Golfy Knows Best?

    Is it possible that Murray has suddenly changed his mind about selling? I mean, why give away a possible gold mine for a bag of monkey nuts!

    If the takeoverwere to be completed this week, it would be great to have the new board to be presented before the Southampton game, to contribuite towards the pre Pardew atmosphere.

    Really not bothered if it happens or not now.Think it would only upset the apple cart at the moment.If we get promoted then i think we'll definitely need an injection of money,as the gulf in class from this league to the championship is far bigger than i ever thought it was.
    But for now i'm firmly in the ' if it aint broke ' camp.

    I'm kind of in the camp things are ok as they are at the mo. If we sold up to someone who didn't know what was going on ala pompey, they might sack parky and undo all his hard work and team bonding he has done, imagine if it was like notts county, curbs or somone 'big' comes in as director of football then players are brought in on high wages etc will really feck things up like how messy it got when zebel were sniffing about.. as they say if ain't broke....

    I think it's all down too whether we can keep running with the finances that are currently available. I have a feeling that we are as keen as ever to do a deal and the only thing that has changed is that week by week, we are looking a more attractive investment opportunity. I'm hoping a deal can be struck while we're doing well, that can stabilise us financially and ensure that we can continue to hang onto our star players.

    The fact is is that we are skint and need further investment. However, would the potential investors want to wait until we go into administration to get a cheaper deal.......?

    Yesterday, from the guy in front of me, two to the left, who looks like Father Christmas, I heard the takeover is waiting for the end of Ramadam!! I never knew that Ramadam could prevent business but, assuming there is truth in this, it started on 20 August? and lasts a month. Dates are disputed amongst different Islamic groups and the story is that Charlton were to announce the deal pre Ramadam but were assuming a different Ramadam deadline to the other party and were then ready too late. This all sounds hilarious and of course would have implications for future transfer windows but it made me giggle so I thought I would share.

    Ian darke on sky said 2 interested parties had walked away (does that include zebel?) Dean kiely seemed more positive talking about 'when' it happens, he still talks to the players and staff apparently so would know inside news, curbs no comment on the football league programme last night seemed very cagey to me all things cafc.
