Good things that Thomas Sandgaard has done

OK, we all want him out the club and there are plenty of reasons behind that.
As it stands, the bad will always outweigh the good, and our current league position speaks for itself.
Staff morale is also at an all time low.
It was obviously a great turn out last week at the valley, and the players responded well. We've got a new manager who has a Phil parkinson aura about him and I personally do believe he might be OK!
Let's be honest, the club will always have potential buyers and investors. We don't really need to worry too much about that. I know it's better to have that 100% certainty, but I just can't see the club ever completely crumbling. It won't happen.
1) sandgaard did at least stop the club from going to administration during a frustrating fearful period...even though he's not a multi multi millionaire. He basically shot himself in the foot with a shotgun and it enabled Charlton to keep enhaling oxygen and stay alive the 3rd division! So we can mostly just wait for someone else to buy us!
2) If he did have something to do with organising the useful Charlton TV show for fans who live abroad...then that's good
3) erm....(just thinking)
4) He at least has been to both home and away games
5) He decided to help the Charlton women's team by giving them a useful amount of money
....
Can someone add in more genuine positives that he has made. It doesn't need to get all argumentative...we all know he will likely be out on his way soonish.
It would be good to know that his ownership hasn't been a 100% complete waste of time, money and effort.
There must be something. Oh yes, he didn't put a sofa in the corner!

Some medical improvements and the training ground.0

Decent beer.3

Got rid of Southall and his mob who were actively grifting the club as a deliberately criminal act.31

His song?
😉10 -
Bought a new mower, and errr 🤷0

In the early days he did a fairly decent job. Saved us from Southall and his mates, invested in players, watched our matches, interacted with fans. It's all fallen apart since then though, as he's shown he is incapable of listening to advice and thinks his family knows best.8

Gave a job to a worthless bum who’d once kicked a ball in Enfield…0

The Southall/Nimer/Elliot/Farnell era were the darkest and most worrying days for the club for me. Parasites with the worst of intentions in charge.
Sandgaard saved the club from them with the best of intentions, which I will always be grateful for, even though it's not worked out.
Ultimately he didnt have the means to own a football club. But I'll always favour well-meaning incompetence over our other recent owners.35 -
bought in (mostly working) ad boards so there's something to look at instead of the shite on the pitch

Increased the Oak's takings after 2 matches by bringing along his banjo and his teeth for all the selfies him and his partner did with their loving supporters0

Feedback is important! And if I had to hack a daves charltonlife account for it then it at least shows we care!
We went to extreme lengths to not put a sofa in the corner and to...have the 4th highest players wage and transfer budget! (apparently)0 -
Charlton tv has been a good introduction.27
-
Taken out of context, it's absolutely brilliant. I don't think any club at our level has anything close to being as good. I'm sure thousands of Charlton fans will have enjoyed its output.Mendonca In Asdas said:Charlton tv has been a good introduction.
Considered in the wider context of what the club ought to be focusing on though, it is at best a white elephant and, if allowed to continue in it's present state, could well prove to be unwelcome self-competition to the real business of selling tickets. The sad truth is that there is absolutely no demand for this product beyond existing customers who may in fact use it to reduce their spending and their involvement. It is bad business. Very bad.9 -
Got the boiler installed and connected.0

If now is to be his final hour, then he has made some serious mistakes, let some real Charlton people go and seems to be quite out of his depth (along with the rest of his family) but I honestly am not sure we have a club without him.So if he is to leave now, and hand us to decent owners, before it gets toxic, he will leave with me more grateful than angry. I’d far rather an owner who has the right intentions but ultimately comes up short than one that comes in to tear the club apart like his predecessor.3

Bought us when we were looking pretty much at the end of the road.
Pumped in £m's through Covid lockdowns.
Spent money on transfers for the first year - a couple of million - they were the wrong players but at that stage I doubt it was his input (except Schwartz).
Spent money on the training ground.
Bought the women's team into the fold.
Signed up bucket loads of our best youth in the summer.
Decent beer at The Valley.
He has done plenty of decent things but ran out of whatever budget he had out aside when buying us then slashed and burnt, getting rid of decent staff and keeping TK in place a bullying culture seems to have developed.
Ultimately if he sells now and to a decent buyer then he goes in credit despite the last few painful months and the disaster on the pitch.

Electronic advertising boards....1

well that’s nothing new. Even the club I follow where I live have had it for 5years,and you get no smaller than them,twiggyaddick said:Electronic advertising boards....

In fairness, nobody has said it is a new innovation. But no previous owner had done it, so it is a completely valid answer to the question.Lewis Coaches said:

Brought live music back to SE77

Put the numbers back on the seats, which on most seats in the Upper West had peeled off.1

On the playing side very little positives to report.
Finished 7th in his first season.
Finished 13th I'm his second season.
Relegation battle in his third season.0 -
A very disappointing blog Mr Blackpool. I don’t know how many times your teachers have told you to read the question before answering. This really is just not good enough.blackpool72 said:On the playing side very little positives to report.

0/10.Please make an appointment to see the head of CL.2 -
Reduced the numbers in the ground making less people in the ground to get in the way , his biggest winner so far .2

Very little indeed.
There was so many smaller things he could have done. Sorting the shop out. Give the valley a bit of a face lift. A decent ticketing system...there are many more and he chose to do none if very little.
I'm really not sure what he was trying to achieve when he came,but there a big red flags that it was miniscule.
All talk No strides0
