    I’m waiting to hear @DOUCHER ‘s take on it.

    He told you back in September and hasn't deviated from that since.

    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.

    Anything about trains?

    Pleased that the fans are thought about too.
    Not unreasonable that the employees are told first, some of whom may be jobless as a result of new owners taking over.

    Keohane :smile:
    That would be terrible, I will drive that youngster to the Valley gates and together we will wave him off.
    Bollocks to that @T_C_E Take the dogs to give him a proper send off

    Ps - Joke for any Plod still watching out for Tone
    They know your joking @Davo55 they are well aware I don't feed my dogs any old shite. :)

    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 :tongue: .

    coincidence? maybe but just seen an advert asking for new homes for newly unwanted poodles
  • 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.

    February is the cruelest month
    Hope doth spring but fact is less
    The future is unknown
    So wait till news is on the OS

    Football is my life
    It can be dangerous as a knife
    But if you have fun
    Anything can be done
    Every minute of it
    Is worth every hit
    Ever touch of the ball
    Makes me recall
    That goal
    That makes football my soul

    My judgement is reserved until such time as I know the detail. Should it transpire that Duchatelet retains ownership of The Valley, CAFC will remain cast in shadow. If he sells both club and ground, I forecast a double rainbow. Let's hope that long spells of warm sunshine follow.

    Let's hope that rainbow also brings a pot of gold.

    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.

    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.
  • 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.

    Early days.

    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.
