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 am going to state something very obvious but could be quite significant?
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.

Wanted a thank you on CAFC headed paper? What kind of agent was he hoping to get started as, a Newsagent? Shit job anyway, speakin as someone itk

How could you possibly know that?
Used to run a shop up next to Grove Park BR station mate and know the aisle of Bestways like the back of me hand, but I don't talk about it
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.

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.
I think a combination of Bowyer and Jackson taking temporary charge of the team, and the team getting to the play-offs, had far more to do with the suspension of protests than anything else. It certainly did from my perspective.

I won't deny that the improvement on the field was a factor but the takeover rumours, with Murray's intervention supposedly adding credibility, happened before then and took the sting out of it just as people were becoming increasingly frustrated with scouse bullshit.
ex-director, one with loans that at some point need to be paid
He also inexplicably sold the plot of land next to The Sam Bartram entrance for property development, making any future East Stand development plans virtually impossible!
Well Len, all I would say is that Murray's credibility had long since gone, and I for one stopped believing anything he said for at least the last 2-3 years.

I agree hence the use of the word 'supposedly.'
However CARD, with key members like CAST having a constitutional duty to (try and) engage with the Club, probably felt there was little alternative once Murray stuck his head over the parapet but to cease protests in the event of what has transpired to be a pretend takeover as removing Duchatelet was CARD's raison d'etre and continued protests with a pending takeover would have been absurd.
Rubberbloke has taken us all for mugs in my opinion.

Was that sale anything to do (coincidentlly!) with one of his own property development companies?

None of it has anything to do with Rubashow, who is a junior figure and of no relevance. He certainly hasn’t been masterminding some deception to stifle protests. Do you really think he was responsible for Meire leaving, the detailed work carried out by PwC, Mishcon, and the public appearances of the two Muirs, McLeish and Murphy?
There are and have been two considerations - 1) is Duchatelet genuinely trying to sell the club and 2) would protests have commanded widespread support. As far as I’m concerned, the answers are yes and no.
If there is no takeover, Duchatelet will not enjoy the close season.

Season tickets back on sale?
Bit of false hope might sell a few (or not) if they are....
Is he also telling us the Aussies aren’t decent potential owners?
I do get he wants to be paid off, just find the wording very bizarre.

@Davidsmith and now it seems Bob Whitehand have questioned how close a takeover really is.
Rubberbloke did his job well from the Club's perspective.
