    Good opportunity to also announce the new loan signings who are going to help keep us in the Championship :-0
    Edit: assuming there will have been some.

    Good for them. I wonder who will be going and whether we can get them to ask some questions on our behalf.

    Cawley and the Newshopper must be going, time to get a list of questions together and give them to those two on twitter.

    Let's hope they have realistic expectations about the media interest.

    haha, I can appreciate what you're getting at - but to be fair to AB; the assembled "british media" (whilst technically correct) is rather grandoise for what will most likely be predominantly local papers and could probably fit in a reasonably sized living room ;)

    On the other hand, he is an interesting man and I dare say he may attract some attention from those more aware of his dealings elsewhere in Europe.

  • Let's hope they have realistic expectations about the media interest.

    That was my initial thought too.

    Let's be honest, unless a Championship team is close to getting into the Premier League (or has just been relegated) then there is not much interest from the major media companies.

    I mean, if Millwall had been taken over by RD would people expect significant coverage?

    This would probably best be done as an informal background briefing for local press and radio as I doubt there would be anything earth-shattering to report.

    It may say British media but I would expect some Belgian nationals to be there.

    One thing is certain, they will not have called this media conference just to tell tham there is no news. I am not going to speculate, just sit and wait. Although we have read a lot about Roland, this is our first real opportunuty perhaps to start to understand his plans for the future of our Club.

    He's going to announce that Charlton are the top dogs in his stable and all the other clubs he owns are our bitches and will invest millions in the summer to push us towards the champions league.

    He will then save his script to be re-used for the next club he buys.....................

    Presumably it will depend upon what is in their press release. Maybe they did it on the 'phone and someone told the press that Charlton is going to get messi ?

  • new contract for CP ???????????????

    Do you have any grasp of the media interest in Charlton or do you spend your whole time with your head up your arse? It's very difficult to get the national media to pay attention to Charlton, while the local media has pretty much collapsed. How is pretending otherwise in any way sensible?

    I'd imagine the Belgians would be very surprised, particularly given their experience at Standard Liege and Duchatelet's experience as a national politician, how little interest there has been in them and will be in them in England.

    I'd say it might be announcement that he's selling Standard Liege and Charlton will be his new flagship club.

    Think the nationals may send along somebody just to ask who Liege will sell their stars to in the Premiership.

    Time to asset strip SL Roly ;0)

  • I wouldn't have thought that an experience international business man would convene a press conference unless he had something significant to say, even if his experience of the British sports press is minimal, after all he does have RM for advice.
  • We're gonna merge with Millwall, play at new stadium on the peninsular and be called Standard London.
