As reported on the Wigan in Admin thread yesterday & the Plymouth Herald this morning.

Isn't a Charlton fan their Finance Director?
No. The CEO is a mate who grew up down here, but he was always a Hammer as a kid. Haven’t spoken to him yet, but will try and get in touch with him today. Gutted for him if there’s truth in this as he throws himself fully into the job and I saw first hand how much that was appreciated by the team, staff & fans when I was up there.
Interesting to see a few clubs put up for sale/selling stakes in the past few days , Huddersfield up for sale now because of Dean Hoyles health issues and Watford looking to sell a stake like Norwich did last month.
Seems to be a growing list of clubs looking for investment/new owners.
It's making me wonder if the current climate of world debt will take out football clubs in this country. There are predictions of fortunes being wiped out this summer and while I know in the Rugby world Wasps was an extreme case, I don't see much difference in their inability to service a debt to the debts of the majority of football clubs outside the Premier.
I wonder the same but I still scratch my head over how most clubs survived during covid. Especially as the government/PFA support package didn’t last as long as some were led to believe.
Anyone know what’s happened to Rui Pinto? The tweets stopped very abruptly. Did he / she get sussed? Did he / she get sacked?
We won a few games. It’s far easier to have a dig when we lose.
Winning = Garner is God, Kirk should have been a number 10 all his life, Innis is immense, £22 to see Charlton take on L2 Stevenage is good value & Sandgaard is taking us on HMS Piss the League.
Losing = The summer recruits are all league two standard, Kirk can’t play upfront, Innis is a liability, £23 to see Charlton play a L1 opponent is robery & Rui Pinto digs out Sandgaard.

I'm thinking the tweets might coincide with times when the owner's actually here and visible, seen as a clear and present danger to those working for the Club if you like. I don't know of course and you might well be right, in which case after yesterday, normal service could soon be resumed.
Another perspective would be that every time the team wins people shut their ears and minds to anything which deflects from that satisfaction.
I think it’s understandable that people want to enjoy the moment when it happens but it’s the audience rather than the narrator that changes.
In a similar way it was difficult to expose ESI before it fell apart because people did not want to hear it, but that didn’t mean the clues Southall was a wrong ‘un weren’t there.
Exactly this. When things are going ok results wise most supporters are happy and the criticism of ownership will subside and that is understandable. I'm sure if we lose at the weekend voices of discontent will start to flow again. We are a fickle lot 🤭
I'm still finding to total silence from TS very strange though. He has either decided to take some advice to tone things down or has got the hump imo.

All football fans are fickle, whatever team they support, it’s not unique to us. My spurs supporting other half and her son came home last night bemoaning the world and VAR and referees and demanding change, despite sitting top of their champions league group

Yeah, but Spurs* deserve it...
* Other teams available
(Poor decisions that is, not sitting at the top of their group)

I am advised though that he should be at The Valley for the Ipswich match.
