The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

I wonder if all these people involved in the takeover that we keep hearing about encountered on trains are bumping into any of those Millwall and Pompey fans on the East Croydon line1

I thought it was a picture taken of Lee's negotiations with the old carp Duchatelet!0

Think you misunderstood - you always being in the wrong isn’t the same as her being always right, I think.cfgs said:
My wife is always right about everything, as for proof she told me.Croydon said:
Appreciate that JS, and in fairness I've only picked on you and Airman there because you happen to have had a memorable take over 'catchphrase'. I just don't think it's fair for anyone to dig out the likes of Doucher/JA etc when no one has actually been proved right on anything.JamesSeed said:
Croydon you have to remember that I didn’t say two weeks, I said GM thought (or hoped?) it would be done in two weeks. That was 100% the case. Wasn’t my fault it didn’t happen. Not even GM’s probably. Pretty sad that a year later people are banging on about it as if they were somehow cheated. ‘Don’t take it all so serious’.Croydon said:Not sure any 'ITK' posters should be taking the piss out of people posting rumours, even if it is JA. Those done deals and two tough weeks have hardly played out well have they?

Let's hope he stays and ignores Roland carping on about sale terms..3

If Roland offers Bow a tench of what he's asking I'd be surprised.AppyAddick said:Let's hope he stays and ignores Roland carping on about sale terms..
We'll end up with a cast off from another tiddler.2 -
I reckon Lee's already signed a new contract and decided to go off for a spot of fishing whilst the new owner thrash out a deal with Roly. Wouldn't that be something?13

The winning side! Sir Robert Munro of Foulis died at Falkirk and was given a heroes burial by the Jacobites. He was the brother of my great (x7) grandfather.Henry Irving said:
Which side was he on?bobmunro said:
One of my direct ancestors was killed at the Battle of Falkirk three months earlier - the penultimate battle on British soil.Henry Irving said:1746
Last battle fought on British Soil at Culludon where a Scot with a French accent and an army of Scots is defeated by a German with an army of Scots
The clan fought with Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, and for the King against the Jacobites four hundred years later.
Munros - backing winners for 800 years!

I honestly believe this to be the case. Bowyer wouldn't have gone otherwise.Dazzler21 said:

Sometimes I don't know whether to pull the Trigger on the more vague puns from the Margins or do i go with the more obvious ones that you don't need to be a brain sturgeon to get?
Either way back on the takeover subject I hope Dalman doesn't need any more time to Mullet over.

According to accounts, CAFC made £1.34M in commercial revenue in 2017-18. By comparison here is the commercial revenue for all Championship Clubs the year before that, as supplied by SwissRamble. As one can see, CAFC enters our new division with a mammoth shortfall in commercial turnover to sign (or even re-sign) players compared to our competition. Even if we have clauses in our contracts that allow us to double our commercial contract payments (which I have not heard any evidence of), then even at £2.7M per year, we are bottom of the barrel in commercial revenue sources in The Championship. Anyone have any info on this situation or what our options are? Anyone know if more recent deals are more lucrative? Or how can get our commercial to the upper half of the division (exclusing parachuted clubs) of roughly £5-9M?

TBF selling one player could make the difference between nothing and lots?0
