I suggest regardless of the performance and result next Saturday against Portsmouth a rousing "there's only one Thomas Sandgaard" should be sung at The Valley to the man who saved our club. Possibly the most significant event in our recent history.

Roland owns the valley.
Roland owns sparrows lane.
We are almost bottom of the third division.
I won't be singing that stupid song that's for sure.
Perhaps Tommy can play his guitar while you sing along.
Won't be singing that though.
Admittedly we probably wouldn't be doing much worse on the pitch but i dread to think the state the rest of the club would be in.
ESI and the crooks said they would pay Roland what he wanted, BUT had no fucking money!! TS stepped in and stopped certain admin, he's negotiated a 15 year lease so that we can still have training facilities and a ground to play on.
Now TS has said he hopes to eventually buy both, whether he does or not neither of us know, however for now I'm glad CAFC still exists, which a year ago we might not have done!
Yes he has made mistakes, and needs to make changes, we are in a shite position in the League, but for fuck sake cut him some slack, or, as I've said before, find a 'willing' buyer who can pay Roland £50m for the assets, give TS his circa £12m back and pick up the monthly losses whilst spending on transfers.
I don't think there are many buyers around, other than the usual crooks, who are currently available.
I get people are pissed off with the current football and league position, I am as well, but we have a club to debate and argue about....it could've been so much worse!
But it isn’t better now under Sandgaard.
Those nasty people winding you up again, you’re starting to feel very drowsy………….😉
From his pov -
He's tied up a lot of the lose ends left by ESI etc.
He's accepted that he can't run the club and, in Gallen and Roddy, employed the right people to come in and take over (on paper at least). Although Adkins' appointment weren't celebrated by everyone, he's an experienced manager and I think TS done okay with his appointment at the time.
He's also made funds available.
This season is obviously not going well and people have got their theories on who or what is to blame, but I cannot see how people can call out TS at this point, even if you do think the blame lies at his feet. He isn't doing anything intentional to line his own pockets (like Southall etc.) and he's not being a pig headed stubborn old flake, like RD.
Imo if anyone is to blame its any one, or all of, Roddy, Gallen, Adkins or the players
If you want to sing his name Saturday then sing it.
If you dont want to then dont.
And now he is in the position where he bought a club that doesn’t own it’s ground or training centre.
He inherited a staffing structure that included at least one senior manager who actively acted against fans. That included at least one security manager who treated fans appallingly.
And hasn’t done anything about those staff members.
He wrote a song.
When will he be responsible for the current crisis at Charlton?
Not even sure how that would've panned out considering RD weren't bothered who owned the Club as long as his rent was paid....
So you genuinely don't consider getting rid of the Cheshire mob, at his expense, as doing something to move us on?
Investing some funds to bring in players isn't moving us on?
Like I said further up, if things on the pitch aren't going to plan, that surely can't be his fault, it must one of the others.
On the pitch we have moved backwards from Roland and arguably even from the other chancers.
A transfer window like the one we just had would not have been as happily received under previous owners.
