    Does anyone have his email address ? Now there's no riot protest rally poetry reading perhaps he'd like to pop down for a look around ?

    Some info about Jiang Lizhang....

    image



    98% owner of Granada CF in 2016 for 37M Euro Btw, Lizhang sacked the Grenada manager his first day of ownership

    6% part owner Minnesota Timberwolves, a second tier club in the eyes of the NBA world.

    Has made good on making the Timberwolves a name in China
    https://dunkingwithwolves.com/2016/12/18/timberwolves-owner-the-fruits-of-lizhang-john-jiangs-labor/

    Use to own, and still runs, a successful sports marketing company, Double Edge Sports (Desports), in China. Also owns DDMC, a sports management company.

    Desports bought the media rights to UEFA television broadcasts for China for $400M. So his whole life is sports.

    Desports bought out the company that has exclusive broadcast rights for the Premier League, last year, for $500M.
    http://www.mailmangroup.com/en/2017/07/ddmc-desports-and-super-sports-what-you-need-to-know/


    Bought 60% of Parma, which is Series B. Wants to bring them up to Series A for . I like his attitude...
    https://www.football-italia.net/112897/parma-will-rise-again-under-new-owner

    Lizhang calls Tony Adams a "kindred spirit."
    https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tony-adams-granada-manager-why-10196442

    Was close to buying an English Club to turnaround (Coventry was the guess of this writer) and.... ahem... a club in.... Belgium, last April...
    https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/chinese-company-close-announcing-purchase-12915174

    Buys clubs below top tier and wants to bring them up... check
    Buys clubs (or parts of clubs) in our price range... check
    Life revolves around sports..... check
    Seems to do what he promised.... check
    Has money.... check
    Looking for an English club.... check

    If this is our guy, I am VERY excited. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    It was a wind up
    Yet only last week I alluded to Tony Adams on this very thread. I'd been trying to find out more about Donald Muir from someone who used to be well-connected to Scottish football, albeit many years ago. He said:

    "I believe Donald Muir ( the finance man ) has put together a funding package to try and buy Charlton , although there is competition from America and China . McLeish would have a minor financial interest but oversee football operations.
    It’s difficult to tell how advanced they are .
    One of the other interested parties has Tony Adams on the fringes!"

    Maybe my pal was more in the know than I have given him credit for!

    Dear Mr Roland.

    First let me introduce myself. My name is Will. I am 22 years old and I work as an analyst. I hear you are a big fan of young people that email you with advice and I'm told you value the views of your analysts above all else. So here is my view on what you should do.

    I have had my team run complex scenario analysis and I'm afraid the outlook for you is not good. The below summary charts show the main message.

    The first chart shows the money you will receive for de cloobe over time. The message is that the longer you hold on to de cloobe the less monies you will receive for it.

    The second chart is based on some detailed analysis around running costs and showed that over time the money Mr Roland will be required to put into de cloobe over time will only increase.

    Bringing together these two pieces of complex analysis I have created a forecast of the losses to be made by Mr Roland over time. These are shown in the third chart. I'm sorry to say Mr Roland that the story makes grim reading. If you are to sell the club today you will make a loss. However delaying the sale of the club will only increase your losses and these losses continue to grow exponentially over time.

    Mr Roland our analysis concludes that the best course of action for you to take is to sell the club immediately in order to ensure losses do not escalate. There is no possible course of action that will allow you to escape without loss. No one will meet your asking price. The value is only going to fall and you will be forced to continue meeting losses. Mr Roland I urge you strongly to heed my advice. My team are well qualified and do not make mistakes.

    A full detailed report will be winging its way to your inbox as we speak.

    And Robinson is still in the dark about the club’s future.

    He added: “I still don’t know if the takeover’s going to happen in a week or five months. I heard there are people speaking to the owners but that’s all I know.

    “We’re in the dark over that. I’ve been told that’s not my job, my job is to manage the team, and everything above me will take care of itself.

    “I’d like to know more, obviously. But maybe with me knowing more, people know how honest I am, I’d just tell you, so that’s probably why they don't tell me!”

    Hahaha, I fucking love Robinson
    I believe him too.
    So do I, and he’s working in rather difficult circumstances.

    I agree to an extent RCT but if somebody with money - forever he or whoever - had turned up at the valley before we left for selhurst - that whole episode wouldn't have happened - and that was far more depressing than this situation - think people need to cheer up - got a good loan in, another striker likely, hated owner selling and we r 6th and re grouping for a promotion push - it's all down to what u want to believe at the moment anc my glass is half full

    We were top 6 in championship (div2) and promoted to Div1 at selhurst mate, this is worse.

    I have just received a photo of the teams for the valley helpers v club staff match on the pitch at the end of the game in 1992 - it's in a frame and I will be hanging it up but if the museum would like a scanned copy I can upload it onto here or pop a copy into the museum - is it open on match days? If so, what time and how do you get to it? If not open is there a letterbox? If wanted let me know - proper Charlton picture

    I hate Roland with a passion but nothing was worse than losing the valley and playing at shithurst imo.

    From the OS interview with Robinson today

    Takeover talks ongoing

    “I’m not sure of on goings regarding the takeover. I’ve seen people be shown round the training ground and the facilities but I’m but unsure on names of consortiums. I know just as much as you do.

    “There are still going to be many different obstacles to try and overcome and it’s concerning that the takeover talk is happening in the middle of January, as we need to bring in more players.

    “I still don’t know if the takeover is going to happen in a week or five months, we’re in the dark over that.

    “My job is to manage the team and everything above me will take care of itself.”

    I think if I saw "people being shown round the training ground" that as Manager, I might want to introduce myself and find out who they are.

    Not like KR to be shy at coming forward. Particularly as his job may be at risk.

    Maybe his Chinese isn’t that good.
    Are you toying with us @Airman Brown or do you actually know more than you’re letting on?
    Chinese were shown around ages ago, think it was November.
    End of last season
