ha ha always look on the bright side dude, the bottom is about to fall out of football, who knows what is going to happen in the next 2 years let alone that long..
My son still has a mirror which says 'CHARLTON ATHLETIC DIVISION ONE' which I bought him 20 years ago to commemorate the day he was a nine year old match mascot v Portsmouth at Selhurst (Andy Jones scored in 17 seconds and he missed the goal cos Jackie from the Junior Reds was still escorting him back from the pitch to his seat!). On hearing of the takeover collapse, he's just got it out of the cupbopard and says hes dusting it down to hang back up on his wall next season.
I've just told him very sharply to put it away again!

If by the end of the 2018/19 season Charlton have not been promoted from the Cola Cola Championship (level II)to the Premier League (Level I) then off it will pay £1000 to Charity.
If Charlton have been promoted from said level to said higher level then Oahahh will pay £1000 to Charity.
Bet null and void if league is re-arranged in such a way to make promotion impossible.

;o)
Anyone fancy acting as an independent stakeholder?
Not since I lost a, much smaller, bet with Son of Selhurst last year.
I'll happily take two grand and "look after" it for you 10 years but sure that's not required. You are both Charlton supporters and therefore gentlemen of the highest honour - plus I can get the club to check where you live ; - )
Although its grim right now I still think the future could be bright, I'd certainly be in Off_it's camp. However i'm not putting my money where my mouth is!
So Chaps, three years on from this bet, how do you both fancy your chances now!!
I'd go like this
80% OOOh Aaaah is shitting a brick and needing someone to invent manpons 10% he will still rant about no being any available Manpons and 10% he loves Olive Oil
40% Off it is shitting himself, but its ok he has invented his own manpon out of toilet roll and a box of matches 30% he dont care and still loves Reams and Steven Seagal and 30% watching Ray Mears in the hope of getting ideas for patenting manpon tm

I think if we all look deep inside and be honest we all know bouncing straight back within 5 years was going to be impossible.
Pure economics put a stop to that with a £50 million short fall in income instead of the normal £30 million put pay to that.
That’s what comes from listening to Dowie when he said to the board give me £12 million to spend and I'll get you in Europe.
do it then - show us the betting slip as well.
£500 is a large amount how about that -
How are you both going to work it though? Maybe let AFKA sort the formalities.Prob both have to give him IOU's until the payouts.
What odds are you offering?
1/50 that everyone thinks you're a ****.
Tell you what Oooahh - I'll have your monkey and raise you another.
Let's face it, come 2019 one of us will probably be brown bread anyway!
So is that a bet or can you get some odds on BetFair?
If we do he lumps a grand to my charity. If we dont' I'll lump a grand to his.
Edit: it's all gone a bit quiet! Anyone there?

And may the best man will.
