    Is it foolish of me to think getting the Bonne deal over the line after being “on the cards for a while” is a sign things have happened in the takeover front??
    I dont personally think it means anything. Sounds more of a Roland cheaper transfer than new owners.

    The big 2000 on the horizon
    I posted ages back that it would be fate that the takeover would be announced when we hit page 1905. That was meant to be a joke but now looks like I woefully underestimated!

    Once we go over page 2019; is it then a case of predicting the future year by year?

    I knew I’d be the first with the big news. 

    Orient say Bonne gone. Addicks say bonjour to bon Bonne, bought for a song. (I’ll get me coat).

    When do you think the Bonne photo with Bowyer was taken? Friday? I assume LB is indeed still fishing and not back in town. 
    He's on his own in the photo.

    1749, Henry Fielding's novel Tom Jones is published in London.
    Became addicted to this book read it 17 times, asked my doctor if it was common he said it’s not unusual.

    How comes its announced today? do they wait for something before the can publish? does this happen often with signings? 

    Curious has have heard we have signed 3 players but dont understand why not been announced?

    Lockyer must be really tempted by an offer of £1500pw, providing he washes his own kit.


  • Must have been last week as the interview on pitch was with Olly Groom and he’s been on holiday last few days and still is.

    That standard article says RD offered LB a contract comparable with lower league one. If true he really should be ashamed

    A bit sad (part of my job) but I can see that the photo was taken on the 11th June at 1.18 pm.....I must get out more ;)

    Very surprised, thought it would’ve been today. As already said, why the wait for the announcements on new signings? We seem to be one of the only clubs doing this.

    Not that unusual at this time of year, tbh. Might be a courtesy to Orient too given what had just happened with Justin Edinburgh.
    Very good point, wouldn’t be surprised at all if that’s the case.

    Jimmy Stone Retweeted Giuseppe Muro

    Incredibly, less than a month since play-off final win, Lee Bowyer is on the brink of walking away from Charlton. Roland Duchâtelet not willing to offer anywhere near what the #cafc manager is asking for and believes he can replace him with an internal candidate.


    Not surprising

    Also Orient announced his replacement, Connor Wickham, today so might be news management by them.
