In the interests of fair play, would it be possible to review the entire thread and remove the pages of puns, willy waving, food references and general bollocks.
It wouldn’t be right for someone to receive a promote when they haven’t truly earned it.
I've got a full English buffet breakfast this morning but not until 10.00 so thanks you lot, for making my stomach rumble already. Might have to have a slice of toast to stay the worms .

That would leave about... One page. One and a half, max.
I look forward to the moment the thread says "closed" because the takeover is complete...and after we've had a natter about it with a series of its happening GIFs....it's a big goodbye.
Will be good when there is a new takeover complete thread....followed by "what do we know about the Aussies?" Thread
Then can we trust em
Then I don't like the look of this. What's happening to our club
An Australian’s view on the takeover. This is the funniest bit:
But what if Charlton became the preferred destination for ambitious Aussies? What if one day a team based in London, featuring a large Australian contingent, was able to win the FA Cup or Premier League … or even the European Champions League?

Christ!
If that happens, give me Duchatelet every day of the week.

Things like that don’t happen to us.
The Aussie didn't see our performance against Shrewsbury recently then?
My new bride of one day had made a nice dinner, but looked at me askance when I asked, 'What's for afters?' Afters? she said ... like what? 'Oh you know something with custard' ' ... like what with custard?' 'Well ... apple pie, rhubarb crumble, spotted dick, fruit salad.' My extensive list of Mum's delights soon began to falter though as the atmosphere plummeted to the depths of a late Millwall goal at the Valley. I never even got to rice pudding!
Actually, does anyone have proper afters anymore?
Anyone remember cremola rice...... mmmmm mm, used to love it. Made by Greens I think. Sadly no more.
What came first Charlton Life or the takeover thread?
I know a funny story about that.
See, I was in a pub and @lookout had been going on about a website and @AFKABartram had been begging me to write for his new fanzine so I introduced them and said "guys, why not work together, pool your talents, it will be mega"
They couldn't see it but I convinced them.
And now only 13 years later we are seeing the fruits of the visionary work of mine.
Looks like the sort of thing they heard their mates brother who has read all the rumours on forums and social media and worked out his own story.
If they have other football interests they should be fully aware of the rules. Look at the Sunderland takeover, the chairman(?) had to sell his shares in the non-league club before the deal could go through.
See there’s one thing I don’t like about the Aussie model and that is that it is too similar to the RD Belgian dream but using Australian links to fulfil our quota of players
All signs that the Australian consortium do not have the required pool of cash to help us regain a decent foothold in divisions higher than we currently are
You don’t know what the model is. They’ve already said it’s not going to be an Aussie nursery club.
Which you accept could just be spin?
Well, he's presenting it as FACT, as if it's a given, when the Aussies have said it won't happen. He can say he thinks they're lying if he wants of course, but it's disingenuous to state it as a fact in that way, as if he has inside info.
And trying to draw comparisons with Roland is way OTT.
This ex director is briefing him against the Aussies, and he's going along with it without proof. Dont you tbink that's different from me repeating what they say, because there's no third party in between , putting their own spin on it. I've been careful not to put spin on it. Not that my opinion counts for more than anyone else's anyway.
He commented that Grapevine's post was excellent, and then goes on to give the exact opposite message to Grapevine, at the same time trying to make it look like they're singing from the same hymn sheet.
As to the nursery debate, I said to my contact I thought Charlton fans would probably be very happy if we signed players of the caliber of Kewell and Viduka somewhere down the line. Personally i wouldn't mind if we had two or three Aussies of lesser talent than those two playing for the club, so long as they're at least up to the job. Not much of a price to pay to get rid of the current regime.
But when he said we weren't going to become an Aussie nursery club I believed him, yes, for what its worth.
But anything can be spin until it happens of course, but that's a different matter.
Now is the summer of our discontent Made shocking summer by son of Walloon And storm clouds hover upon our valley In the deep bosom of the Thames buried. Now our patience has expired anon To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, Willy waving in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a scoop But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks Want Roland out, before the Autumn light.

But promotes are given for excellent content, and the puns are the best bit. Well they are in this plaice, anyway.

League 1 promotion first...then Real Madrid!
