Tell me what train you are getting from Birmingham Saturday night. A 4-pack of San Miguel will pay the bet. Plus you can escort me back to Bromley
guff. the summary of jim white on talksport just now. talks imminent (within 12 hours). if successful then the money will be shown. so it isnt any closer, really.
it really is. he lead everyone to believe it was done and the money was moving today. today, it's "still to be agreed". rubbish really
Yes, gotta be honest, last friday the money was on the table, it was all good to go. Now it's all awaiting agreement.
Crucial talks with Charlton takeover imminent January 07, 2019 Jim White has been updating the position on the Charlton Athletic takeover on Talksport. He reaffirmed that today and tomorrow are crucial days, that talks are imminent (stressing the word 'imminent'), later defined as the next 12 hours, and the mood is positive. It was all 'very sensitive'. White visited The Valley on Saturday. He spoke of the torture that fans had been enduring for so long and interviewed fanzine editor Rick Everitt. He tracked down Sunderland's owner in the away end, noting that there could not be a greater contrast between two owners with Roland Duchatelet absent again. He replayed an excerpt from his interview with the Belgian, noting that he was insistent that he wanted to sell the club. White said that his respect for Charlton fans had grown. Charlton fans loved the club and it was a massive part of their lives. White said that the money could be unlocked in the next round of talks.
It won't hurt his career in the end, but I do hope he gets rockets from Charlton fans at every opportunity. He shouldn't be stringing people along. Cheap sensationalist journalism.
The VOTV Editor is now claiming that the assets will be seperated between American financiers & Aussie frontmen. A disaster for the club if true - an absolute turd of a deal, and one which should be resisted.
The odds on a successful takeover appear to be lengthening. At least White has been sympathetic to our cause. He has been acting in good faith. And he says the Americans are backing off. David White posts that the ex-directors have not been approached.Oh dear.
Bearing in mind that (to my knowledge) Royston and I have never met, I've always thought he might be a bit like the Pub Landlord. No disrespect intenderd, I like Al Murray.
It’s always been the fear that Duchatelet’s parting gift of spite will be to seperate the club from the Valley.
Point taken about Jim, though I thought he was a bit too pally with RD during those interviews. I know he couldn't just lay into the bloke, but he gave Roland a fairly easy ride I thought. It's all coming apart isn't it. Those fans with a mind to attend the next home game might be in a sullen mood if we don't beat Shrewsbury this weekend.
