  • To Shine 166,its a bit sad when discussions cant take place without personal insults,still each to their own,luckily the majority of people on this site stick to voicing their opinions about football,and Charlton.
  • I should say that the European group is in that story because Prague posted it on here, so while I have no reason to think it’s wrong - and in fact I pointed the Standard in his direction because I trust him on it  - the story is not of itself evidence that it’s right.
    So sorry I can’t read it all back but who has confirmed Dalman has walked? Or is it people talking on here and speculating that has resulted in this article in the standard 
  • 1848, Waterloo station is opened.
  • Top eight or ten and a potential buyer can sniff the Premier League. 
    Yeah, but won't he just raise the price again??

    No, the Standard got the story from their own source, who is very likely to be Dalman or someone close to him. I couldn’t share it because it would have spoilt their story, but I subsequently heard from  elsewhere last night that Dalman and RD had fallen out.
  • Jesus fucking Christ.....its just total madness.
  • Jim White was telling us recently that we should be rejoicing because Duchatelet is desperate to sell. He doesn't act like a desperate seller though - putting the price up after promising not to suggests he is not as desperate as he wishes to make out!
  • To King Addick,i totally agree with most of your comments,but I have supported Charlton for 65 years and the supply from youth to first team has never dried up Kids will always come to Charlton because they know that they will if good enough get a chance.
    Rd has given Bowyer a budget,albeit a very low one,but as I said ,a good manager and team will find the players.How many Aribos  and Lookmans are out there playing Sunday Morning and lower league saturday afternoon football.These players are there to be found.Kinsella was playing for Colchester,look how he turned out.
    Who had heard of Beilick and Burrington prior to them coming to us,I personally think that despite the lack of funds we will do very well next year.

    And yet the Dalman bit about him walking is Airman? We are talking about The Standard here.
    We still haven’t seen ‘clear evidence ‘ that that is the case. i.e. a statement from Dalman himself or those representing him.
    Not saying it isn’t true.....only that as things are as of this moment, I’ve personally not seen anything to verify the claim......indeed, has anyone?
  • For me this part is interesting.  Maybe I'm too optimistic but this tells me it could just be sensationalist crap from The Standard


    Whether Dalman can be convinced to revive his interest remains to be seen,

    Jim White talks complete bollocks. Don't believe a word he says

    Just to clarify, the well drying up was eventually RD putting a halt to any transfer fee. Whilst Charlton have a fantastic academy as we know. It serves the team for a short while then we as a club are asset stripped. 

    Granted there are good players out there and we have a great team in place to try and find them. However, when other clubs come in and offer that 1k more because our wage budgets only stretch so far....we will miss out.

    No, it’s a hedge against them being used by Dalman to threaten RD and the story reversing the situation - as happened over the Bowyer contract. I can guarantee that the info comes from the Dalman camp.

    Remember that it was the Standard he used to announce a £30m offer in March.
  • So it’s not really off then? Cawley has suggested similar

    That line makes it look like the whole story has been "placed" by Dalman - or those close to him - for exactly that reason, ie as leverage to get RD to see sense. 
  • I don't think I have ever hated anyone as much as I do RD, and that includes every mother in law I have ever had. 
    I hate Murray the most
  • I actually think that Roland may have changed his mind regarding selling the club. 
    Because it's fast becoming obvious he ain't going anywhere. 
  • So the director's loans are a problem - even according to Dalman, where it appears the Standard story has come from.

    I hate to say it but he is either very badly advised or he’s deliberately making mischief.....I’d like to think it’s the former.
    Would be nice if he came on and said he was sorry for misleading us on several glaring occasions and explaining why he made such adamant, but latterly false statements.
  • 1848, Waterloo station is opened.
    Big fan of yours, but that's a shit fact for an epic year. 
  • "investors struggled to get sufficient funds into the country before the team won the League One Play-off Final"

    Airman, were you the source of this information on the Aussies or are you aware whether that is credible information or not?
