  • Fantastic News, Welcome to the new owners.  

    Lets hope that this is the start of something big!  Got to give Bow/Jacko/Gallen a LONG term and decent contracts. Cant wait for tomorrow, BUZZING!

    I think I will stroll up to Blackheath with Mrs Plum for a spot of lunch. Jump on the train down to Charlton and check it out. 
    Don't want it to be a mirage I see!
    you might catch a glimpse of Roland clearing out his office...

  • Praise be that we are finally rid of the useless Duchatelet. The name of the investment company and the statement from the new owners suggest that they have been getting some good advice from someone who really knows the score - certainly none of the present incumbents. Let's not get ahead of ourselves but this could be a very exciting point in the history of the club. It will certainly be a welcome relief to Lee Bowyer and the boys. You can bet your bottom dollar we will get turned over tomorrow by Wednesday - it almost won't matter though, because this is the start of a much brighter and better future for all of us. 
    Cannot wait
  •  I am convinced that if Arsenal had not sacked their manager today Charlton would be getting extensive coverage this morning on Sky”s Football Centre. I accept that the Arsenal story is the bigger one. But I have been watching for the last 90 minutes and not even a mention of the Charlton Takeover.
    Isnt actually complete though is it... Bet we might get more coverage once the EFL have approved it
  • Anyone know how long EFL approval can take?
    Hopefully not long now I’ve apologised 😂
  • So what is our transfer budget going to be on the next Football Manager update? Will I be able to get Sterling?
  • And to think it wasn't that long ago that a move to Brentford was considered 'life-changing'!

    totally stunning and I love their press statement, want the fans involved and retaining Bowyer ... yesssssssss
    Agree. Apart from the reference to that absolute c**t Duchatelet, it was absolutely spot on.
  • The Spivs takeover was announced at the start of December 2010 and completed at the end of the month
    The Roland takeover was announced at the end of December 2013 and completed quite quickly in early January (maybe too quickly!)

    A weird coincidence that Charlton takeovers always seem to happen around now, rather than say the summer!
  • And the rat has money for some new duct tape. Everyone is happy.......

  • Don't look like my 2 bottles of Christmas Fischer are gonna even see the start of December, let alone the festive period
  • Knowing our luck, after all this time, Roly will get hit by bus tomorrow

    And a seat for every post needed a ground the size of Tottenham's new stadium to fit them all in.
