Takeover latest

Not sure about you but I had forgotten all about it. Just when I was wondering why I had a boomerang and painted the front of the house green and gold Rich Cawley has given us an update.

On Twitter Rich said that Andrew Muir is back in the country, and is hopeful that the deal can be finalized this week. However the new owners have had to be patient, they are not the only ones, but there are still a lot of variables, but importantly the old bastard still wants to cut himself loose.

There were no EFL ‘fit and proper test’ issues contrary to some stories.

Muir was always been keen to be in London when the deal was struck so he could personally unveil themselves to Addicks supporters. We can only hope that is some time soon, giving him and his team the best opportunity to rebuild the club from top to bottom in readiness for the new season.

Pre-season training begins in 3 weeks, with the first friendly at Welling in less than a month.

UPDATE: End of this week?
