Word today was old director loans have been paid up.
Don't know by who or even if that is fact.18 -
I watched them during the 2nd half from our seats opposite in the East.TomHards said:
Steve G & our new Chairman were talking animatedly throughout whilst the guy in the cloth cap looked a sad, solitary figure....I didn't see any indication that he was involved in their conversation at all.

Cheers. We're pretty bloody chuffed too!owlsonlineadmin said:Bloody chuffed to bits for you.1 -
Thank you. Still not sure what it all means other than it surely cannot be worse than Roland and has the potential to be the best ever so fingers crossed.owlsonlineadmin said:Bloody chuffed to bits for you.
I love the Championship and think it is the most competitive league in the world and it would be good to be competitive in it. Not fussed about the Premiership and would not like us to become a prawn sandwich club.
Next time we meet maybe we will have our A team available. Hope you got home safely.3 -
It's generally believed that the big Middle East investments (in Citeh and PSG) as well as the desperate Qatar bid to get the World Cup are examples of political 'soft power' building. To put it crudely " we cannot be such bad guys that your press say we are, we are footie fans like you". I'm having a bit of trouble believing that Abu Dhabi reckons the world will look more favourably on it because it invested in Charlton Athletic, though. Unfortunately...ShootersHillGuru said:
That depends on why you buy a football club. If it’s to make money then you’ve got your work cut out. If it’s to have like a train set or for prestigious reasons so you can invite your rich mates then depending on just how rich you are you might well not mind throwing the cash around.Ultimatum said:Let’s throw 10 mil here, 15 mil there , 2 mil here etc etc... this is real money people 😂. There’s no way these new owners, regardless how rich they are will throw money away. They’re business men who got rich by being clever not throwing it around like it’s nothing.Secondly, how much can we realistically spend with FFP rules?2 -
If you read the whole thread, some of them do make good comments. Leaving the Valley would be a concern with very rich owners.Brown Bear said:
They really are complete imbeciles aren't they? It's actually quietly depressing that these people are allowed to mix in with the rest of civilisation - total pond-life.cantersaddick said:

Do we know if Muir got the wrong memo and tried to hand his red and white scarf back?3

I don’t think we should make fun of the ozzies (difficult for a kiwi to say). They understood the fans and would have connected better with them than RD. Maybe never quite pulled the money together. They lost out, we all move on.34

Still glad they missed out though4 -
I can't see why we should fail the EFL test unless our prospective new owner is either directly or indirectly involved in another club. Just because he may have family that owns clubs seems irrelevant.

Wonder if the Aussies will move on and try to buy someone else - Plenty of other clubs here in England who could do with the help - Coventry being one of them!!2

Our new chairman liking chants about our economic status to come is the best thing as a Charlton fan you’ll see on Twitter this weekend 😂

Southall has misread the fans words, he believes the fans are rich and so can increase ticket prices and extract more money from us .

Excuse my ignorance but I’ve missed that other family members own a club - who and which club?Covered End said:I can't see why we should fail the EFL test unless our prospective new owner is either directly or indirectly involved in another club.

But then that could be why the Sheikhs arent on the board for us (whilst Nimer is)1 - Sponsored links:

They shouldn’t have turned up with red and white scarfs until they had everything sorted. That’s how sensible business people, possibly like East Street Investments, would behave.KiwiValley said:I don’t think we should make fun of the ozzies (difficult for a kiwi to say).

I think a bit of mickey taking is fair enough.6 -
I don't want us singing about having loads of dosh. I remember Spurs fans doing that when they bought Paul Stewart. They sounded like wankers then and so would we now. We should just go about things quietly and with respect to other clubs, whilst remembering the last difficult decade.54

Exactly. For a start Gullivan will be tempted to double the asking price for Josh Cullen in the window, when they hear that.. Any excuse, with that shower, to extract maximum wedge.jimmymelrose said:I don't want us singing about having loads of dosh. I remember Spurs fans doing that when they bought Paul Stewart.

Spot on, can you make a separate thread about this because that is EXACTLY what we should be doing.jimmymelrose said:I don't want us singing about having loads of dosh.

I thought it was great that Southall was talking to Gallen every time the camera was on him, not just watching the game. Also the statement he made. I have long thought that you give this management team the tools the sky is the limit.14
-
Things remain murky, good murky but murky. I simply want to know who actually owns us and how much money he/she/they have, and how much they would like to spend on our club.6
-
Whilst we would all want to know that, I'm sure it will be played down. We don't want to find other clubs hike their prices. The picture will become clearer in February and after the summer window but also with players like Taylor staying and the management team extending their contracts.2

Never one to pass up a good photo opportunity is Vince.....6
