Up until about 3 years ago they sold them in Sainsbury’s. Don’t know where you can get them now. I had a sunny Jim stuffed toy when I was a kid, the powers of free marketing
Hear that RD knocked back a bid for the club two weeks ago. Hoping they go back with another.
I think we all more or less knew that.
We'll I haven't read or heard it
I know Bart and neither have I, but I think quite a lot of us reasoned that that is what happened.......I’ve spoken with a few Addicks of late and the general consensus is that an offer has been made but not accepted (at least thus far), though that doesn’t mean that either party have binned it completely......I reckon it’s at a ‘waiting to see who blinks first stage’ without anyone having actually said “take it or leave it,” or even if they have, that that comment is being taken as gospel by either party.
Red Chaser, the best thing about winning was that my teacher had a sneaky little favourite and was mad as hell. The judge on the day was one of Jon Pertwee's brothers. Just think, I could have gone on to be Doctor Who ! Man at Millets, winning S56 million is something I can only dream of, I await his call with baseball bat at the ready.
Good news. The discovery by NASA of another solar system means there are more potential buyers out there.
Even more good news. Yesterday's BBC documentary on the existence of parallel Universes would suggest that Charlton supporters in at least one such parallel Universe are enjoying unprecedented success under a new beneficial ownership so................err.............not sure now that this really helps does it?

But as I understand if an offer had been made but not accepted there would not have been Due Diligence (which the general consensus seems to agree is or has taken place) as that occurs after an acceptable offer has been made (subject to Due Diligence).
There may be problems, issues and haggling as a result of Due Diligence, including how and when payment(s) might be made, or one or other party may have pulled the plug (or at least be pretending to have done).
But it seems unlikely that it's just a case of an offer being made but not accepted?

It’ll do for me though. I’m now supporting that Charlton you mugs.

I still contend he will take zero haircut on debt and demand (at minimum) the £14-20M he paid in the first place for the equity. Which, assuming debt has not grown from the £57.5M as of the last financial statement... is £71.5 to £77.5M. And I think he will get it. Either that, or only part of the club gets sold.
Given what we know about the debt and what reports have been about the purchase price he made, how do others here calculate this sale can happen for £50M or less? Haircut on debt? Haircut on equity? I am interested in how others come up with the calculation.
I just don't see him eating £20-30M in any form. If he sells for some crazy low sum like £35M, I bet he holds onto assets like the Valley or Sparrows, or his company will continue to hold the debt, which the new owners will have to service and he keeps looming over the club in some fashion.
I would be thrilled to get him out at a big loss. I just think it won't happen.
Who on earth would pay upwards of 70 mill for a L1 club ...... ? If he doesnt budge on that sort of figure and cut his losses we will be stuck with him, stating the bleeding obvious !

It's ok, it wont be that much, Napa deals in $
Wait, isn't £70M actually something like $90M? Makes it sound even worse. Guess I will have to sell a lot more wine if I am going to afford this. Like 100x my production.

For the umpteenth time RD is owed @£55M in total, this includes what he paid for Charlton, plus the debt that has accrued since. I know I am wasting my time here, as you have been told umpteen times, but as it's nearing Christmas, I thought I'd try one more time.

Belated congratulations on your achievement way back when
