Just re-posting from the other thread. @Rob7Lee has said that "John Burke" was added, early on to the list of attendees, presumably by Elliott's crew. Did anyone else notice this? If so, did they see the person on screen? We are very anxious to ID him.
A few of us got admitted early, we then got the reporters in AKA Cawley, Airman, BBC, SKY etc, each barrister gave a list of names they needed admitting, so Burke must have been added by Elliotts as it certainly wasn't from Lauren! About 20 minutes after they opened up to the riff raff
If it's of interest those admitted early prior to the press were;
Chris Farnell (i believe Elliott was on the same link) Marian Mihail Both Barristers & Judge Some solicitors for both sides (front row legal and Axiom I believe) John Burke Court Clerk
So he was DEFINITELY admitted by Elliots team, I even messaged him on twitter to that effect before the public were allowed in, of course no response. Sadly no pictures/videos were on screen other than the two barristers and judge, everyone else joined with Camera's off, although one reporter forgot his mike briefly
I did wonder if he was the John Burke from Blunts solicitors which recently went into liquidation.......
I thought Prague had spoken to him and left confident that the person on twitter isn't John Burke from blunts?
I believe he did, although that's not to sayhe wasn't lying. Especially as he was in the process of liquidating his solicitor firm, supposedly in practice since 1812 ( yes 1812) and owes a few hundred thousand to creditors.
Well, that's possible. However it was not a short conversation and followed by several emails (which you are welcome to see). TBH the only reason I would have not to be 100% certain that he is straight, is that he wanted Jimmy Stone to retract and apologise for outing him, with photo, on Twitter; I told him that I might be able to talk to Jimmy about that once he had confirmed that he had addressed Fred Rose, whom I told him we are convinced is the account holder. Despite previously saying he would do that, he didnt reply to that last mail and the account continues to post. But the rational explanation for that is that he decided that this is not something he wants to get further tangled in.
Where also did you learn that he owes a few hundred thousand to creditors? Figures I saw suggested that the biggest creditor was himself (loans to the company of about 90k). He's of an age to retire and put his feet up, and that is exactly what he sounded like on the phone. And he initially rang me back having received three calls from a number he didnt recognise. Not sure a Farnell stooge would do that. Nor did he sound remotely chippy, like the account holder does, and his spelling and grammar is impeccable, again unlike the account holder.
NLA is convinced Fred Rose is behind it, and there is evidence linking Rose and Farnell going back to 1996. Have you forgotten "Kinky Enterprises"? Anybody who saw the face yesterday would at least have been able to say which of the two this person more closely resembled but it sounds like that is not possible.

Was that her work? I thought someone else had already claimed it.
@Pico tried to claim it, but very tongue in cheek.
I've got a bone to pick with you H, I had a heart tremour when the judge was summing up you was painting a bleak picture ! I don't pay my fiver for that! 😉.
To be fair it did look bloody bleak! Think the judge might have been enjoying the drama.
I was asking myself exactly the same thing; was he playing up to the 200 in the virtual gallery

There's a second career for that judge as a writer of novels with last page twists

He made it clear in his conclusion in no uncertain terms that although both lawyers presented their cases well,Lauren especially so, they were both representing characters who were basically up to no good.
The judges statement finished with a passage on how this great club is so important for the community and the charities it supports. This appeared to sway hugely in our favour. Nimer/Mihail were only handed victory as that verdict would be best for the club. Let's hope they honour that trust.
Onwards and dare I say...upwards??
I was thinking this last night. We were lucky we got a judge who clearly cared and also was prepared to read the EFL documentation in front of him so that he realised the real threat we were under. Also he was prepared to carry on until the hearing finished and not up sticks at 4pm so he could toddle off to his club for a G & T or two. We have a lot to be thankful to Judge Pearce for.
Absolutely this and this! We were lucky to get a judge who understood just how important his ruling was to the survival of the club, for the fans and wider community! He clearly recognised both sides were wrong'uns and decided it was too important to delay any further. Fair play to him on that. Just hope it doesnt lead to ESI1 throwing a spanner in the works with Sandgaard. Surely they just want out now? But I'm not over celebrating just yet. Fingers crossed. COYA
I told my wife about the great news last night and her only comment was "well in that case, who owns the range rovers?" - and with that she killed the conversation dead.
Anyone received logins for this afternoon’s session? I am yet to hear from the court but I presume it’s going ahead as planned....supposedly an hour from kickoff
I suspect Lex Dominus or whatever Elliottttttts company is called has already got their bankruptcy forms completed just waiting to press the submit button the second costs are awarded to Nimer, parasites the lot of them.
I really enjoyed sending Farnell an email last night pointing out what my previous emails had said a month ago, CAFC will get you Mr Farnell !!! now just needs to be followed through and destroy the lot of them
Apologies all, esp @RedChaser and @KBslittlesis but it really didn't sound good!! You should be used to my natural doom and gloom on a match thread by now - I like to think of myself as runner-up to @oohaahmortimer in the "prepare for the worst" stakes.
@Weegie Addick Yours, was the last post I saw before I drove to a FA cup game last night and I felt lower than a Dachshund's testicles when you said we were screwed ! As I wasn't on line, it sounded bleak with not only yours but many other comments about the Judge implying a trial in November was favourite and I assumed with everyone else that how can a club be sold, if it isn't established who owns it ?
Heather, you have been a star, on national radio and for CAST, and your questions prompted the chancer Southall, from admitting that ESI hadn't bought Charlton, lock stock and barrel.
You are still in massive credit, thank you for all your hard work.
Heather, @Fanny Fanackapan (Jean, who has been fantastic over the years in her commitments to POTY and work at SL) and now the sublime talents of Lauren Kreamer have proved that behind this crazy football club are talented Woman. Included in this is @Tracey Leaburn for her Sterling work not only with the players in her day to day job but her promotion of the Prostate cancer blood test.
Yes, IF, IF, IF Thomas Sandgaard can be in control of Charlton, it will be the dog's bollocks !
You don’t mess with the CAFC Ladies, that’s for damn sure 💪🏻
A friend of mine has the cleaning contract at Paul Chaisty's Chambers. One of his staff found this page on the floor of his office - it had been ripped out of of his Colouring Book For Lawyers.

And if Elliott wins there's no chance he's getting anything from Nimer through a UAE court.

Who was the man in the Panama hat?
Who has a daughter called Paige?
Is it the same as yesterday?
