or the NDA protects him from an embarrassing failure..0

So, is it the Australian Consortium that is looking to buy Charlton or is it the Consortium of Australians ?3

He was only at the Valley for the expected signing of John Aloisi; sadly news takes time to get over to Australia meaning Muir didnt realise he'd decided to sign for CoventryJ BLOCK said:
The geezer turned up to a game in a Charlton scarf, nothing erroneously about it.cafc-west said:Maybe it means that he, personally, isn't part of the bidding consortium and his involvement has been to support the AFC and help them to find backers?

Serial "winner" fails and then denies he was ever in the race.
Doubt he will ever be quoted as saying he had "No involvement" in a bid. Erroneous is a word that could mean anything in this context, i.e. I was involved but not in the way it has been reported.
What a waste of time the "Good Guys" were. Dodged a bullet IMHO if they couldn't even afford the purchase price, let alone fund operational losses.1 -
The timing of this comes just after the rumour that the consortium has broken up over disagreement about the group's various roles. Now the bill has just arrived for over a mil, for nothing gained, and someone has to pay. Muir is off like a dirty shirt. Or is he? Or is this the final bit of pressure to crack RD? Maybe Muir's name was one of the bits missing off the EFL papers. Unlike the preceding news blackout Muir's denial of involvement is all too public, leaving poor ol' Roland sitting there all alone with his thumb up his butt. Time to negotiate, jonge.
For sale : two slightly-worn Charlton scarves Apply : S.Bartram

The prize of getting to the Premier League is why clubs have to spend money. Yes you have boosted income from TV, sponserships, Gate Receipts etc, but you would need to spend that and some more to compete in the Champ.

How many of those did we unexpectedly sell that we wanted to keep? This summer in particular was a lot better then expected under Roland. The issue has been the qudlity of the squad, management and just general running of the club.ForeverAddickted said:

So other than 2016 when we were in danger of relegation from the Championship there hasnt been a window when we've not seen a player departing...
Saying a player has left in every window is ridiculous, show me a club who haven’t had the same, there will be very few.2 -

Four out of the articles's six columns are about healthy eating for kids. AM started this project in 2010. So, then, about CAFC at first scarcely any news. Then, just old news. Why go to the trouble of making a smokescreen if you've nothing to hide?
For a pretty affable and public sort of a guy he sure keeps a lot to himself.

So, it turns out Muir is a liar too. Must be part of the person specification to be a Charlton Director these days.3

All part of the negotiations. A bit like Brexit but with knobs on. I’m optimistic that it’s going to happen. And that day will be tattooed on my bottom.0

Many feared there was going to be a fire sale in the summer, but there wasn’t was there? And there hasn’t been one under Roland at any stage.3 -
So,they 'outbid' the saudis and then lost a couple of their group,dicked about for god knows how long,now looks like its fallen through. Excellent work. Two bob.3

It maybe small change to you, but the significant increase in my bid price to £1k and a family size tin of Quality Street/ Heroes/Roses (RD's choice) is a not insignificant dent in my operational P/L account.HarryLime said:At least we've got Addickted's bid still on the table, some small change and confectionery if I remember correctly.
Two other Lifers have also suggested that they would help with the operational costs over the first two years and the business plan to increase the chip portions seems to have gone down well with CARD and some boycotters.
Still hoping for a steer as to what legally constitutes gross misconduct to enable one instant dismissal to go ahead without fear of an employment tribunal.

Was there actually any proof that there was a Saudi bid?!0

So the people on here who were going to have grovel to other members when the Aussies were 2 weeks away from a done deal can now relax then can they?6

Oh come on we're all biased cos we are Charlton fans but if I was Muir I'd be embarrassed to be associated to a (current) shambles of a club like Charlton, so I can understand where he's coming from1

Aussies can fuck off anyway, if they were serious they would have made it happen by now.3

I still think it's gone very quite on the alisher usmanov front hopefully he's plugging away in the background trying to buy us7

I think the pattern will repeat itself and we will sell players in January. More alarmingly are the number out of contract at the end of the season and we will probably start next pre season with about eight first team players as we scramble to assemble some semblance of a squad.9
