    It makes sense that someone as business savvy as RD would wait until he knows what division we'll be in next season. Elementary I would say. Equally so, the buyers will be just as savvy, so stalemate I think until next season's status is resolved.

    I blame Richard Murray. He is the only person who could have explained the playoffs to him.

    Not read this thread for weeks, so forgive me if this has already been said.

    The difference in direct income between League 1 and The Championship is not that great, it's nowhere near the difference between the Championship and the Premier League. Don't get me wrong, any one of us wouldn't mind finding it down the back of the sofa, but when you are talking millions of pounds in takeover fees and debts, it's small beer. I think any serious investor wouldn't be put off by the relatively little increase that promotion might bring.

    Roland is a mad, egotistical, vindictive old cu*t.

    He wants to be able to claim to his arse licking "friends" (all rich people have them) that he has not failed in his football project in England - the club he bought were in the same league when he left as when he arrived. His genius appointment of Lee Bowyer gained promotion, and his ground breaking idea of running a football club with no-one in charge has been a roaring success.

    Furthermore, by delaying the sale, he can taint the enjoyment of (potential) promotion for the people he hates (us), and get one over on the boycotters that he would like to see dead, as they wrestle with the conundrum of whether to attend or not. His kind enjoy that sort of thing.

    Boycott if you want, attend if you want. Don't crow or berate, again it's what his kind do - divide and conquer. Don't give the old fraud the pleasure...

    COYR!

    Thought the difference in revenue is about £5m isn't it? Or so said the commentator on Sky sports

    Apparently a group of #Cafc fans have recently cost Roland tens of thousands of pounds to correct a problem? They have also landed him in very hot water! Nothing to do with us! Disgraceful if true! We wouldn’t condone anyone to cost such a great man his hard earnt cash! #proveit

    Do we know what they did?
    Odered -

    - 192 cabs to the dentist (wait and return)
    - 463 pizzas to be delivered (cash on delivery)
    - 66 Chinese to be delivered (cash on delivery)
    - 56 Curries to be delivered (cash on delivery)



    What no manure delivery?
    No funeral directors?
    No allegations of an affair with Stormy Daniels?
    I don't think anyone would believe she would, even for $130k

    I think a lot of people are getting really precious about this boycott lark - just bloody go for christs sake. If you dont, its only your (and the teams) loss.

    Disagree entirely.

    Dont know about everyone else, but i'm really bored with people coming on here and saying they are still boycotting - come on here and say you are breaking your boycott and supporting the team else dont come on here at all.
    Had enough of all the negative shit.
    Why not let people make their own minds up instead of expecting them to fall in line with you.
    Because, at this point in time, it doesnt benefit the team. Most fans dont give a toss if people are boycotting or not any more - they just want the team to win the next 4 games - we dont need any more negative shit on here, we dont need precious people coming on here saying they are still boycotting and almost glorifying it as 'wow, look how big i am, i'm still boycotting'- who gives a toss anymore? - go and do your shopping in Bluewater, go and see Buxton versus bleedin Biggleswade instead of going to The Valley- who gives a toss ? but dont come on here bigging it up as if you're doing us a favour - you're not and you're definitely not helping the team.
    I will give up my boycott stance for just one game to coincide with your next arranged mass pitch invasion. No ifs or buts.

    Bad timing for an announcement of that kind. We want unity through the club and a good atmosphere through both players and fans leading us onto Wembley.

    Wasn't an announcement so don't worry - no quotes from club or either consortium. All from "sky sources" - it's just sky stirring the pot a bit because they have a game to promote for Saturday, and then it also gives them a narrative to push for our televised play-off games as well.
    Can’t see too many people other than Addicks giving a toss to be honest.

    They've got to have something for the pundits to speculate about though haven't they - I doubt anyone other than Addicks give a toss about the story they put out today as well but that hasn't stopped them publishing it has it?
    Not a bad shout , I’m fully expecting Karl robinson to be in the studio if/when charlton play off games are televised!
    Car-park correspondent more his style surely...

    I reckon it's something to do with his teeth, they would take a fair few bob to sort out and clean, possibly tens of thousands.

    It doesn't matter to anyone if you're bored. If you're bored go and do something else.

    The people interested now are interested in buying a lge 1 club

    Go up and it will bring a different interest more people happy to risk one promotion to the promised land

    I think thats a given in that when they became interested there wasnt much likelihood of us being anything other than a L1 club.
    When did they become interested?

    Clicked on this thread with 123 unread posts and I can literally feel the brain cells vacating my head.

    So much bickering, and bullshit, and "my takeover dick is bigger than your takeover dick" and then the boycotting back-and-forth - ugh.

    But do please carry on, it's very amusing.

    Like what ? "I guarantee that he'll be gone next season" Well there's a 50/50 chance of that being correct but it hasn't happened yet & with the club website stating for the last few months that the club is for sale it's hardly a sensational piece of info. Apart from that gem what accurate info has he actually come up with ?

    In no news story ever do they have an actual quote from anyone involved, its pure speculation and guesswork. Takeover could be done tomorrow or in a year and they wouldn't know until its announced by the club/new owners.

    Apart from the fact that you seem unable to turn off your caps lock, I don't think we have a cat's hope of being PREMOTED anywhere. Promotion on the other hand may be a possibility. I'm so glad you're looking forward to going to Rochdale, now fuck off, do your own thing and let others do theirs.

    with this owning us its a negative promotion as we will be straight back down, im not boycotting the final im simply not in the country for it, if people dont want to attend thats up to them, people boycotting care about the club and it is nobodies right to tell other fans how to behave.
