Anything about trains?NapaAddick said:I posted the following 40 pages ago, if it is the Aussie Muir, I feel good about it.
Was looking into articles about Andrew Muir, the Aussie. The more I read about him, the more I like him.
As mentioned earlier, he sold "The Good Guys" electronics chain (a family business his father founded) for $870 million cash about 17 months ago, which means he is liquid and very rich. Also was looking to sell $130 million of real estate one year ago but no word if he did, so he might even be worth a billion dollars (£700M.) Post-sale he bought a historic house for $17 million and a used jet for $10 mil, so he appears in the spending mood. Claims his main goal now is philanthropy. His role as director of Essondon Football Club is primarily focused on determining compensation for management. Big believer in good nutrition for children and operates charities in this area. Follower of "positive psychology." Usually likes to operate within a consortium because he likes to get as many minds into a project as possible. Does not like to give many interviews. Animal lover who has given money to stop rhino poaching in Africa.

Not unreasonable that the employees are told first, some of whom may be jobless as a result of new owners taking over.golfaddick said:

Chill out people, the doom mongers, the naysayers, those who want to be the first to say 'I told you so'; things are happening towards a sale and have been for some time. Always look on the bright side of life, one step at a time and remember, patience is a virtue WIOTOS............. now where did I put that Moët

Right, can everyone stop posting on this thread for a couple of hours? I’m just about to go and play football and when I get back I can’t have 1000s of new posts to get through as I need to get to sleep and I will get it in the neck from mrs Justin because of the light of the iPad.4

If you want to enter, February dates have gone, some available in March, more availability after March, for the pessimists among you.
The Jimmy Seed Story is the prize, early edition, not the Charlton reprint. Signed and commemorated on the historic occasion by a relative, if I can find one.

When the buyers go "G'day mate!"

There was Belgian visionary,
Who's talents were few and not many,
He owns football clubs,
But won't buy them any subs,
Thank gawd he'll be gone in February.12 -
It matters not how you leave
Through the back or the front
As long as you're gone
You yellow toothed cunt28 -
I know we all hate RD and his nutty schemes - not to mention his unconventional management style.
However, lets be careful here folks, for all we know these "Aussie" investors could be just as bad.
We know nothing about them at all but what we DO know is that multi-millionaires did not acquire their cash by being mugs.

When Saturday Comes.
No more Saturdays on charltonlife,
No more Saturdays talking to the wife,
No more Saturdays walking my dogs,
No more scouring out our bogs,
No more Saturdays up the pub,
When the Saturday comes and they've sold our club.
