    This fella is incredible, virtually no interest in us, and when he does open his gob he always puts his foot in it, (Roland I might add not Jim White).

    Anyone know if Jim has reached out to Airman/CARD before this interview to get an updated fact check?

    Interview is recorded rather than live. Not clear when they’re actually planning on playing it, been told it’s still being edited/prepared etc this morning.

    That'll be this evening then when they've gotten rid of all the "huh!'s"

    I'm feeling underwhelmed already.

    Not sure what this will achieve. Puts it back in the spotlight a bit I suppose.

    The club is very much up for sale will be the conclusion.
    Yeah. Well done Jim!

    Edit*

    In fact I'm not even sure they'll play it.
    Today of all days the show should be dedicated to the wonderful owner that was Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha . A man that stood for everything right in English football.

    To break off and report on the complete polar opposite of football ownership some might say is in poor taste

    The club might be up for sale, but it's not priced to sell.

    This.
    Until Roland realises that nobody is going to pay his ridiculous asking price we will not be sold.
    Let's face facts Charlton are a league one football club losing in the region of ten to twelve million pounds per year.
    Who in their right mind is going to pay 40 million.
    Answer no one.

    I wonder if the snipet today will be to get fans rilled up... tomorrow they can then get someone to represent the fans on the channel to get a reaction to the rest of the interview

    Either that or they've realised there are too many "huh!'s" and "{...}" than even they realised and is taking time to find and delete them all (i.e. Its like someone on Excel who doesnt know the quick way to delete duplicate records and is having to slowly go through a ton of records to find them)

    It’s life Jim, but not as we know it.
    Huh!

    Roland "can't go to games anymore" - what's all that about???? Probably "fears for his life" etc, cos of the rubbish way he's run the cloob over the past four years!

    Roland saying he feels guilty that he didn’t inform the fans more, failed to communicate with supporters

    "Sad that the fans suffer more than I do.... failed to communicate with the fans."

    What a dick!

    Full interview tomorrow.

    Was really hoping he was going to say before the end of the show.

    Same, it felt like time stood still when he was getting that sentence out

    Has Kieran Richardson had a head injury or something? What is his purpose in being in the studio today, he is repeating what Jim White is coming out with

    Listening objectively I can almost get why Bob Mills said what he did, it didn't stop me screaming 'WHAT?" when he said it

    Same old, same old. The problem has nothing to do with weak communication (for which he has blamed his own staff) and the timeline of protests cannot sustain the argument they somehow caused the team to be relegated. Or caused him to appoint the ridiculous Karel Fraeye.

    Let's not forget the mention the protests affected the Charlton players. From memory aren't we unbeaten whenever a protest has been held?

    Didnt we lose to Brighton when we threw something on the pitch? - Seem to remember Chris Hughton saying afterwards that he'd warned his players to be ready for it happening and to be ready for when the game restarted as think they scored quite quickly

    Hate this expression 'reached out'. My publishers in the US were always emailing and informing me that someone would be 'reaching out' to me. Sounds like you are waiting to be rescued from drowning. I was sorely tempted to make a sarcastic comment but held back.

    Yes he's trying to sell the club Jim. But not ultimately for the good of the club. It's merely to line his own pocket and he will be waiting for years/the rest of his miserable life unless he seriously changes his stance.
