So long as that odious shit retains even the slightest interest in anything connected to our club, I will not set foot in The Valley.
Spoken like someone who has lost the love and will find any excuse not to return. I worry there’ll be a lot of these
New owners will need help and fans to progress the club and to finally get rid of RD. Staying away will only prolong the agony and RD’s stench. Wrong choice in my humble opinion but each to their own.
Yes we would be involved with someone who made his dosh by sticking his hand up a ducks arse ---- still will fit it well with burger Boy who has his tongue stuck up a Belgium OAPs arse.
I actually went last night and I felt a bit like I had let myself down, but seeing the pictures of the Muir in a CAFC scarf stopped that. He has gone or is definitely going, IF we make Wembley people should go back as in the long run you will regret missing out more than he will. Until last night I didn't really believe it was even close to happening, but now I think we are only days from Roly's departure. It has been 972 days since I last witnessed a competitive fixture at The Valley, I went to The Legends game earlier in the season, and it was odd going back. Odd and I felt sad at what I had missed, The Valley has been a part of my life so long.
Thanks to another poster on here for talking me into going. (If he doesn't sell the boycott is back though)
He is passionate about the topic of nutrition, in particular educating children about healthy eating, and strongly believes that Australians need to take meaningful action to tackle the growing obesity problem. It was his desire to act on this problem, that saw him establish The Good Foundation.

Portion sizes to be reduced from 14 potato to 11 polenta chips?
This isn't NOT as bad as it sounds in my opinion, for two reasons.
First, it is essentially just collateral against the remainder of the purchase price being paid, which will be paid if/when we are creating higher turnover or promoted, most likely. This is not at all unreasonable, for it means that RD would have sold it all if the full price was paid up front.
Second, it shows Muir is not financially stupid. And despite having hundreds of millions in cash available, was unwilling to overpay up front. It shows he has financial smarts, which his CV proved already.
I always though RD might keep the ground if he did not get full price and said so many times, here. But this feels more like he wants to hold it until he is paid in full, which is VERY different and does not worry me nearly as much. For now.
Not ideal. But not a disaster. I seriously doubt it will interfere in Muir's plans.

So he's basically an Aussie version of Jamie Oliver
I said about 300 pages ago that after reading all I could about Muir, that he was my best hope as new owner, among the reported candidates. So I am quite happy it is indeed him. I don't think we could have done better given our size, honestly.
From what I have read about him, which is everything I could find in English, he is honest and personable. The Good Guys was a very successful home electronics chain here in the US, where most of its revenues came from. It was a family business started by his father. I like the fact he has operated a family business before.
His operational style appears to be by consensus. He likes to surround himself with people he trusts and likes group decisions. So I believe he will NOT be a dictatorial styled-owner.
He is quite smart financially. He does not like to brag. He is not a bullshitter. He thinks long term. He dislikes debt.
My biggest worries are that he has no history of running a football club. And the fact he won't own all of the assets straight off.
But for me, given the reports and pics, I am feeling as hopeful as I could have wished for given the circumstances. This is potentially a great day.
I get the impression Muir could be a good fit as an owner for us. Hopefully Roland doesn't own the ground but we'll see. As long as he isn't running it anything would be better.
so no evidence other than an historic presidence then ffs, thats not staying relevant its noisy mischief making!
If there are any firm suggestions or sources that this is the case then I retract the above and will remain committed to getting RD out of our club, if not and thats it you want to take a look at yourselves

What fact? The ground/training ground talk is definitely not fact.
*grumpy response above from me after a long flight and still smarting over last nights result.
If there is a shred of truth in Roland retaining any part of our club I will be pretty pissed off, lets hope your hunch is wrong @BELGIUM20 or we will all be Belgium bound again!

That’s for me is worrying ..... I hate that twat Jamie Oliver
Would hate Roland to have any sharehold in Cafc whatsoever. As others say id rather they not buy us If they cant afford the whole thing.
It's like when you get married, and everything seems Rosy you have a kid called Charlton. then you realise oh shit this ain't going well, in fact I hate my wife so much wish shed just die. Then you go in for a divorce....
Then you have joint access to Charlton after going to court...
The bitch (Roland) will now forever be apart of your life. Having a say in poor little Charltons life too.
