It looks like something big may finally be breaking on the Charlton takeover impasse.
The South London Press are reporting that big Karl has offered his resignation for a second time in a week following an earlier attempt before the Blackpool match. With Robinson also still strangely favourite for the Oxford United managerial vacancy, two and two would appear to make four. A further snippet today from the Mirror and from the Crawley Observer suggests Harry Kewell is being lined-up as next Charlton manager by the Aussie consortium that waits in the wings.
This could yet be the latest false dawn but even the out-of-touch and stubborn Duchatelet surely knows he has to act now to save something from his investment in Charlton Athletic? If a deal is to complete with the Aussies, I hope and pray that they have taken full advantage of the club's Robinson-slump in recent weeks and negotiated a favourable change in terms, just as Duchatelet appeared to be trying to do in New Year when it looked like we couldn't fail to stumble into the play-offs.
Given the current appalling state-of-affairs with no leadership and little credible senior management at the club, Duchatelet has to do something even if it's not to conclude a sale. That would involve time and money to recruit and place experienced personnel as well as what looks like a new team manager and a whole rebuild of the playing staff. That won't come cheap and perhaps it's finally forced the Idiot's hand?
