    Not sure if it's the same guy but a former Director went by that name.

    Imagine being that rich that you can sub a professional football club a few quid and say to give it back when ya got it. Ffs

    Last time I said that was for €20 and I punched meself in the face 5 minutes later, when no one was looking. I still ain't been paid it back either....

    Andrea Leadsom is going to be our new chairperson.

    Murray is a cockroach.

    Ran a dishwasher on a hot pans cycle in Florida once. Went to unload it and a huge roach sauntered out like he'd just had a luke-warm shower with some "no tears" Simple Baby All-in-One-Wash. The only way to get rid of them is to crush them under a heel.
    Actually, it’s the worst way to kill them. Eggs will stick to your shoe and spread them. The best way is poison. They return to their shed, sorry, nest and die. They are then eaten by other cockroaches who in turn die.
    Always remember my morning ritual when I lived in Indonesia for 3 years of looking under the rim of the toilet before I sat down and having to get rid of a couple of cockroaches that had come up through the shower plug hole during the night.

    kinda suggests he doesn't know about any real buyer(s) yet, which if he's the former director, is worrying

    It's him, recognise the photo.

    He's a ****. He specialised in foreign player transfers in the Prem years. Was all over my Bulgarian buddy to get his help signing Kishi, yet when it was all done, all my buddy asked for was a letter on CAFC headed paper thanking him, so it could help get him started as an agent. Too much bother for Whitehand.

    Wonder if he still lives in Gib., as he did then. One of the 5% who voted Leave, if he likes that daft cow Leadsom.

    I don't think its a coincidence they are all wearing Charlton ties? (red and white)

    Something is definetly about to happen.. with the public showing at the home game, and the red ties sitting in the directors box at Shrewsbury.

    I think the time has come, hopefully this week... maybe already has. just waiting for EFL to do fit and proper and bob's your uncle prehaps?

    Murphy isn’t wearing a Charlton tie.
    Neither is the mystery man, or Bernie. Not sure Murray is either unless there's a special tie for former Chairmen?
    It's not really special. He's been wearing it to matches for so long it's just suffering from photodegradation . He tried to get Meire to buy him a new one at the same time as all the faded seats were swapped out but she sought authority for the expenditure from Roland who told her Murray could piss off.

    Bob wants his money back. Seeing as his previous tweet was supporting Andrea Leadsom two years ago (!), I think we can assume he’s telling us he’s not been told he’s getting it (which we knew).

    For me, the most important thing we learn about the photo is how utterly fucking ridiculous old people look in sunglasses. I bet Murray and SParks thought they looked the bees knees. No dears, you look like the geriatric branch of the Stevie Wonder Fan Club. Now, learn some dignity; no-one else is pretending they're a mafia don and no-one else is squinting as they sit in the shade of the stand. If by chance you need to shield your eyes from another dazzling Charlton performance try holding your hand, or perhaps a football programme, above your eyes like any normal septuagenarian would.

    oh, turn it in FFS....... ;)

    It must be almost or actually done if @Ollywozere can make comments like that.
    Orders from Tom Rubberbloke?

    Season tickets back on sale?

    Bit of false hope might sell a few (or not) if they are....

    Didnt he flog off the strategically important Landsdowne Mews land too?

    Is he also telling us the Aussies aren’t decent potential owners?

    Sounds more like he hasn’t been contacted or consulted and as Airman says just commenting because he would prefer owners who paid off the loans.

    Surely the wording "real buyer out there" would suggest we don't have one.

    I do get he wants to be paid off, just find the wording very bizarre.

    A 'real' buyer would clear the former directors' charges - in his mind.

    Hilarious.

    It's what he asked for. All he asked for. Kishi's club's owner was an ex pro wrestler and all round nasty bit of work. At one point Whitehand said to me "Mr Ganchev is a very difficult man" and I thought, well, Bob, that's high praise coming from you.

    Anyway, my buddy worked out it was a shit job because he'd have to deal with people like Whitehand, so he stuck to his pizza franchise in Toronto, and now he can afford to fly over about 6 times a year to watch his beloved Arsenal (last time he went to watch us at AFCW and Bristol Rovers too, even though I implored him not to do the Bristol one).

    Funny though, Whitehand and David Sumners are or were big mates, yet Sumners by all accounts is a very nice, grounded guy.
