I am delighted by anybody expressing an interest in the club but no matter the interest the world and his wife had 3 years to invest in Charlton. Mr Barclay didn’t. If he had the money to blow Duchatelet away why didn’t he?
What because he elected to use a consultant who was persona non grata?
Whose interests does that serve? Not his and not the clubs. Ah it is question of leverage. What leverage?
I will happily welcome Mr Barclay to the table. Will M.Duchâtelet? If so why? What’s changed?0 -

Perhaps there's still room for manoeuvre?

Sign him & fork out £200K in wages, but can't play him until January?1 -
I think Wilshere was on 80k a week @ Arsenal from memory.0

Chris_from_Sidcup said:Wilshere is quoted as saying:
"I haven’t been injured since before lockdown, and it was not a serious injury, I've trained every day. When I was at Bournemouth I was available for every single game, so I feel like it's a lazy answer because I can. Give me a chance, let me prove myself to you then, show you that I’m fit."
I wonder if he'd accept a pay as you play deal?1 -
Fuck sake, look what you've started. I'll revisit this thread in 100 pages time!!!!1

So Ronnie dropped from the squad and Wilshere bought in. Not the worst idea ever tbf.2

I can’t see any of this happening. Actually sounds to me like people have read a random tweet, (I also saw it earlier today), and made 2+2= 5.

The full context is he wasn't willing to pay the price for the full package (rightly or wrongly).

Just saw Andrew Barclay at Nando’s dining with a man with an Australian accent. Both men wearing Charlton scarves.36

It was varney and his sheiks or whoever being a viable alternative that really ramped up the duchatalet protests - not saying we didn’t want him out but I really hope people don’t turn on TS if things don’t immediately go to plan coz that’s the last thing we need and the noises from the likes of whitehand and everitt etc r all starting to sound a bit like that to me - we have to gamble millions on trying to get to the prem seems to be the only way is what I hear from them and of course varney and Barclay are waiting to do that0

I’m not advocating Barclay or anyone at this point. I am saying that to believe you can get from where we are to the PL without investing millions more is just daydreaming.29 -
As far as Barclay is concerned, he had tried and failed to get to Duchatelet before he was introduced to PV by me. Duchatelet wasn’t talking to anyone because he had a deal with Southall and co - even though the deal was nonsense. He was only interested in escaping the operating liabilities, which ESI enabled. He never knew what Barclay and co might have offered because he wouldn’t talk to them, before and after Varney got involved. In fact the reason Barclay spoke to me was because he couldn’t get to RD.
It’s quite true that Barclay would not proceed without the assets, but his principal interest was in the training ground because he was very keen on the academy. However, Barclay had an associate with the firepower to pay Duchatelet whatever if they jointly decided to do that to get The Valley. It made no sense to publicise that. The other guy also has a solid track record owning major sporting assets. But I’ve no idea if he’s still around.TS got to RD because he offered a similar risk-free proposition as Southall (and with rather better credentials). Retain the assets, receive more rent and, even better, lose the liability for the ex-director loans. And by the time TS rocked up, even RD had worked out that his mate Murray had sold him a pup.25 -
