    A Monday is always a good day to announce good news ...




















    I don’t work on Mondays. If that’s not good news, I don’t know what is

    In my view RD is trying to reduce his losses to as close to zero as possible while trying to maintain Championship status, he would need to spend far more to make a punt for the Prem and I think he knows that.

    Well if he hasn't it's an extraordinary coincidence.

    It’s an interesting thought from Albury Addick

    https://alburyaddick.wordpress.com/2019/07/05/billionaire-roland-duchatelet/

    That if Duchebag invested sufficient money  to get us to the Premier League and he’s clearly got it, wouldn’t he then be in a stronger position to get a better return for the money he’d invested and all ready spent?
    Logically yes ... but he’s far from logical 
    Is it logical?  Sounds like a gambler chasing his losses to me.  Replying to some posts after yours, as well, but how much is enough?

    Look at the Villa and Derby squads that were named for the play off final.  How many of our current players would get on the bench, hand on heart? 

    If we signed 5 players for an average of £7 million each, 5 players on frees plus 5 loans.  All on an average of £20k a week.  That's a £50 million pound investment, for this season.  Would it keep us up?  Probably.  Would it get us promoted?  Maybe but would you risk £50 million on it?  If you don't go up do you put another £50 in or cut your losses?  If he did that and we didn't go up the value of the club wouldn't increase by £50 million so that money is gone for ever. 
    So you believe Roland’s approach is logical then? 
    No, believing one approach to be illogical does not imply all other approaches to be logical does it? 
    Tell Roland that ;-)

    Looking at that picture, the paint is still wet and there are weeds which suggests to me that's somewhere in Eltham ..

    Judging from the brickwork, I'd say it was somewhere in Belgium.

    In that case, can @Isaw go to Belgium, give Roland a funny handshake, and persuade him to sell CAFC?

    If you look carefully, there is evidence that the culprit is a heavy smoker, so I suggest he will have a degree of discolouring to his teeth. There are also traces of leather, and the pattern of the footprints suggests a malfunction in his footwear which he has tried to repair himself. An analysis of the writing suggests the author is fairly old and decrepit, and likes to surround himself with people far younger than he is.
    My little grey cells also suggest these young people are almost as incompetent as he is.

    Just had to be a Scottish goalkeeper on the receiving end poor bloke. Makes half time Haffey's performance against England all those years ago pale into insignificance  ;).

    On the same day one of the Dundee teams also broke the scoring record, but by a slightly smaller margin. However, they got to the records office slightly later than Arbroath, and so their record score didn't register, simply because Arbroath were in front of them in the queue.
