  • “All I want to do is just win games. If I don’t, that’s my fault.

    “You can have a three-year deal – but if you don’t win games then you get the sack, simple as that.”

    I like Bowyer

    Proof that Bowyer reads Charlton Life.

    And is desperate to please Henry.

  • How does my credit card company know what purchase I make to withhold monies from the company I made a purchase with?

    My spend with the Club could be ST money, but it just might have easily be Club shop purchases, hospitality purchases or sponsorship.

    If the Club has a separate accounting system for ticket office purchases, my credit card spend could well be on a dozen match tickets for the next home game rather than from a ST purchase. Or a 'Jackson 5' - would they drip feed that?

    Sounds a load of old baloney to me.

    Different merchant code for the box office, standard procedure for most places to have different sub accounts for different business units.

    OK - so how do you identify the difference between a ST, a block of tickets for a single match or as I said a 'special' like The Jackson Five?
  • When I bought mine with Barclaycard for their zero percent offer for life for football STs many moons ago, they initially added interest as they had no way of identifying the purchase as a ST purchase. I had to send them proof.

    There are a number of different phases to a transaction on either credit or debit cards. (I'm guessing this issue the club is having will also apply to debit card transactions for season tickets because of the debit card chargeback scheme.)

    But in a nutshell there will be a "payment service provider" who organises the transaction either through an in-shop terminal or on-line. And an "acquirer", which may or may not be the same as the payment service provider. The acquirer will have a contract with the merchant and effectively set up a line of credit.

    The acquirer is responsible for receiving transaction details once they’ve been collected by the payment service provider.

    It then passes them through the card scheme and to the issuer. The acquirer also receives the payment from the card issuer and pays it into the retailer’s bank account (less fees).

    So, in the event that goods or services are not provided, that whole process would be unwound. You would claim off your card issuer who would, in turn claim off the acquirer, who would claim back off the retailer (if it was still trading). Risk flags start flying if 1% or more of transcations are reversed or charged back.

    So, it will be the acquirer (almost certainly a bank) that is getting nervous. It is they, not the almost countless credit card issuers, as @Rothko said, that are requiring Charlton to put some transaction identifier on payments off credit (and debit?) cards that provides them with a means of identifying the purpose of the transaction.

    There is no reason why a punter should see this on a statement and your card company couldn't care. Which is why @Addickted had to show proof to Barclaycard.

    The Aussies haven't even got control of the club yet and already Muir is trying to head off a demonstration through the streets of Melbourne. :wink:
  • It's no surprise to me that Muir doesn't want a majority stake.
    If he had wanted one, I should imagine that there has been ample opportunity to do so.
    Especially when one considers the rumours about delays, due to investors withdrawing/being excluded etc etc and then needing to search for replacement investors.
  • He doesn't have any money.

    When he sold just one of his businesses for £480m!

    He's founder of Momatu a digital
    He's director of Essendon FC
    He's Founder and Director of The Good Foundation and Jamie's Ministry of Food (Australia)
    He's Co-Founder of Pet Care Super Centre

    He was CEO, Executive Chairman and then the Chairman of the Good Guys before selling the brand on for £480m.

    His education was pretty solid too:
    Harvard Business School
    Advanced Management Program
    La Trobe University
    Bachelor of Economics
    University of New England (AU)
    Postgraduate Diploma of Financial Management

    Can't say I blame him either, I have no idea why anyone would want to own a football club.

    Setting fire to your money would make as much financial sense, it'd be a lot less stressful too!
  • Has anyone got a link to the company that was reputedly set up as a vehicle for the purcase? Would be interesting to see current/past directorships.

    I didn't flag you mate ? ............ or if I have I certainly didn't intend to, I've never flagged anyone (to my knowledge) If I have am I able to take it off ?

    It was just a bit of fun on my part ending up with the Blackpool 72 comment
  • I liked the bit in Cawley’s tweet when he said - no timescales. We already know it’s gonna happen in the next 5 years.

    Interesting reading the pdf of the Certificate of Corporation attached that it says that they do not expect one person to have overall control ie 51% of the holdings. Confirms what we already believed.
