The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)
Comments
-
As an aside I've often wondered what would have happened if we HADN'T left The Valley in 1985. I suspect that when the Taylor report came in we would have done what Millwall did (and many other comparable clubs too and moved to a new ground, probably on the peninsula (which would have been the cheapest location). Unless we ended up in Thamesmead, or somewhere else equally "attractive"!

Someone’s nicked the script from through the keyholeStig said:
Hmmm, a Charlton crest used as an escutcheon over a Union Flag. The Union Flag has become closely associated with Brexit, indicating perhaps that someone is about to leave. But who - Meire? She has already gone. Joyes? No offence, but surely not significant enough to warrant an enamel badge. Could it be... dare we dream the dream... Duchatelet? Sadly, I think not. For surely if it was we'd see the famous crest of a rat-couchant lying sinister over a field of duck tape. Perhaps it refers to the possibility of Charlton leaving. But leaving what? Following the club's defeat to Oxford, it can only mean leaving their current place in the league hierarchy for a more lowly realm.Henry Irving said:

You are aware that you used the word 'win' first, in the very post that Henry quoted?The_President said:

No, I just won the debate by turning your arguments back on you in order to show how ridiculous they are.The_President said:Latest score from CL Towers....

Its all a bit (very) childish tbh, then again no more than I would have expected.
You cant win the argument by facts therefore resort to childish ridicule.
It's not childish, it's the art of debate but you wont understand that either.
Just like you indulged in name calling before complaining about other people's childish comments?
I honestly can't decide whether this has all been a massive wind up, or just an astonishing lack of self awareness. I'm leaning towards the former.
Meanwhile back to the takeover. Here is your cryptic clue on yesterday's gossip.
Let's look at the words, to see if they give any more clues. The second word Athletic comes from the Greek 'Athlētēs', meaning that someone is competing for a prize. In this case, perhaps another team competing for Charlton's prized place in League 1. But who? Let's see if there's a clue in the top word, Charlton. The keen-eyed here will notice that the first four letters in the word Char are the same as in our clubs name, Charlton. But what on the second set of four letters 'lton'. This is strange form when seen in isolation like this, but when then you notice that 'lton' or more properly L'ton is clearly a contraction on Luton.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is written in the stars and has been carefully recorded for us on an enamel badge by peoples of ancient wisdom. If Duchatelet remains, the Kingdom of Charlton shall perish to be replaced by pretenders from the north called Luton Town.3 -
Except that Charlton tried to do that in 1988 and the landowners weren’t having it.killerandflash said:As an aside I've often wondered what would have happened if we HADN'T left The Valley in 1985.
