Steve Waugh is a cricketer. A winner undoubtedly but a fecking cricketer and not even a cricketer who knows much about British football. Phil (The Power) Taylor was a winner. Steve Davis was a winner. Would you want them anywhere near being involved on the playing side at Charlton.
As I posted further up the thread it’s great to have winners and winning mentality at the club but I’m not getting excited by a rumour that an Aussie ex cricketer who knows zip about us, league one or for that matter The Championship and as much about football as I do is potentially part of a consortium to buy us.
As for being negative about new owners I’m not. I’m desperate for new owners but will be worried if the new owners think that cricket has any answers to our questions.
Not sure why some folk are getting so up tight about this. Is there any indication that he’s going to be involved with the running of the club......as far as I know that’s never been mentioned? He’s a famous sportsman who has a nice few bucks available for sporting investment I should imagine and knows a shit load of Aussie movers and shakers in the world of sport. He ‘evidently’ may be part of a consortium of investors who are looking to buy the club......for all we know there maybe other investors from all manner of other sports involved as well as it’s likely the net for prospective investors was thrown far and wide.
1. We get promoted 2. RD decides we are worth £77.5M 3. Buyers walk. 4. RD decides he likes owning us after all 5. We underinvest because RD wants a profit 6. We lose our best players in the winter 7. Get relegated in 2018-19 back to L1 8. RD sells in 2020.
Part of me thinks we are better off not even making the playoffs, because the better we do, the LESS likely a sale becomes as RD wants a higher and higher price.

Hope I am wrong.
Yep your wrong
Maybe, but me disbelief this sale was going to happen has served me well through 686 pages if useless rumours so far.

1 & 4 are my worry! Is it too much to ask to just be rid of him/that era - so me can just all move on!
Other than to ask people to stop arguing I don't normally comment on here about ITK stuff, coz I normally know nothing, but I also heard yesterday of the RD rep/Aussie meeting last week, lets keep fingers crossed this time it going to get past the post before next weeks vital game at Rochdale.

Was wondering this during the game yesterday
i.e. We get promoted, Roland decides he wants even more as we're a Championship side and the buyers walk away
