  • Knowing our luck the deal will go through smoothly one day only for Usmanov to have his assets frozen the next.

    Sorry glass half empty here :neutral:

    We already have four loans and I think you can only have five in a match day squad (correct me if I'm wrong), so there wouldn't be much point bringing in too many more loan players.

    Championship & EFL clubs are allowed to have 8 players on loan, but can only pick a max of 5 loanees in their match day squad.

    They can only sign a maximum of 4 players from a specific club, of which only 2 can be over the age of 23.

    Haven’t read the posts on here recently, sounds like it’s already been said. Heard this morning Usmanov in and bringing Everton players on loan. That’s all I know atm

    Bringing or forcing Everton players on bowyer? If it’s the latter, he sounds like RD Mark II
    I could handle Everton players to be “forced” upon us tbh
  • Loan window is closed and we already have 4 loans

    Incidentally what exactly is Usnanov’s connection with Everton? I’ve not really followed this thread that closely of late but now it’s got interesting again!
  • What do we think of this then.

    Arsenal fans did not like him that much did they??

    Will he try to move us??

    Will he put money into the cloob??

    I thought Arsenal fans liked him because he said he'd spend loads of money and they hate Kroenke because he runs Arsenal as a business

    Please please let this be true.

    An owner with ambition, who wants to spend money and bring premier league players in on loan. What's not to like?

    Ah but it never works like that for us. The following calculation will help:

    X = N - I

    where

    X = net number of players available
    N = number of players on loan
    I = number of players injured, on international duty, ill, on host club refresher course, compassionate leave, fallen out with manager etc etc

    He’s had some great roles over the years. He’s he better Hercule Poirot than David Suchet, IMHO.

    Redhenry understands too, which is good enough for me.

    He said he’d heard this morning, which could just mean the person tht told him picked up a Mirror. I’d love it to be true but the story looks like a page filler.

    And it wouldnt be the first time a journalist had constructed a "story" from what he has read on Charlton Life. As you imply, there is nothing in the article to suggest the journo has any link to Usmanov.

  • And we'd have Tom Tugendhat, Tory MP for Tonbridge and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, to contend with. On R5L just now saying that cracking down on oligarchs is "Not just about Russia, not just about corruption, but now a matter of British national security."

    “In relation to comments made in national newspapers recently I wanted to clarify my position. Having recently, reluctantly, sold my shares in Arsenal Football Club, I am determined to leave a legacy in English football. That being said I have not yet made a formal offer to purchase Charlton Athletic Football Club but you can never say never.”

  • I guess that until the Greenwich Dome is built, we will have to use the Olympic Stadium for Champions League games?

    Do hope something comes from this, a billionaire who wants to spend money with us is something we dream about from playing Football Manager.

    But Charlton are so used to disappointment I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Also in the bastion of truth that is The Sun.

    Although all the papers are saying that The Mirror understands, as in we don't want to miss the story but if it turns out to be brown and stinky it is their fault.

    The first time I've genuinely been excited on the take over thread that isn't pun related or a conspiracy theory.
