    If I wasn't so happy I'd be penning a cross email to someone.
    BBC wankers reporting thus:

    East Street Investments has completed its takeover of Championship club Charlton Athletic, ending Roland Duchatelet's spell as owner.

    Much of Duchatelet's tenure was dominated by friction between the Belgian and a section of supporters and he has been trying to sell the club since the end of 2017.

    A deal with ESI was first announced at the end of November, subject to English Football League approval.

    On the Valley Express to Swansea

    Even a cheer went up around the coach when the news was breaking.

    And anyone who's ever travelled by coach will know collective cheers usually do not happen. Ever. 😁
    You guys know how to live.
    I bet you're passing round the sausage roll as I write :-)
    Vol au vants and lobster on offer today. HE even wants to make the Valley Express great again.

    Thank god, what a bloody relief.

    Let’s hope ESI have plans that’ll allow for a gradual, sustainable improvement in the playing squad. That’s all we can ask for really.

    Dry January may be put on hold tonight :-)

    RD completed the purchase on 3rd January 2014 - he was, no doubt, jumping up and down to get this completed because all the insurances were due for renewed tomorrow!

    Time for us all to move forward and forget about him even if we can't and won't ever forgive.
