    Doubt shipping containers stay green given salt water they endure.

    Evergreen are Taiwanese. To President Xi that's Chinese, but Taiwanese to me  :)

    Come say that in my office, you won't like the response you get, same for HK.

    Sensitive bunch, haha.

    Not good timing for Chinese investors.

    Government highly sensitive about capital outflow, long running trade war with the USA unresolved, worrying macro-economic forecasts and large scale protests in Hong Kong.

    Not to mention Brexit.

    Who in their right mind would go into this now?

    Roland has done a perfect job of deterring any potential buyers with just how torturous negotiations look, and just how utterly mad he comes across. 

    If I was a non-supported looking to buy a football club, I would be crossing Charlton off my list.

    Has anyone considered that the deal may have actually been done and an embargo on announcing it? That new owners may be providing an improved player budget to LB.  That it’s not being announced as any player costs are likely to double if the selling club think new money is there!  Maybe a “glass half full” thought but not impossible...

    1859, The Red House, Bexleyheath is built by Phillip Webb for William Morris.
    That was handy with Peppers builders merchants just round the corner.

    There is none.....just another suggested bizarre scenario.
    cafc-west has done what many of us have done over the last couple of years and thrown in a highly unlikely curve ball just to kick the day off in such a way that it will no doubt continue.

    Only speculation based on the LB contract change of mind, the fact we seem to be spending money on players and offering Purrington a 3 year contract.

    The 3 year contract and paying money for Purrington suggests to me things are going on in the background.

    This goes against what the owner has allowed in the past 12 months?

    He's always sanctioned transfers and contracts when there's been talk of a takeover. He knows the show must go on in case talks fall through.

    Not to mention paying £200k for Bonne.

    Ok so it sounds like Dalman is out of the running, same old with the Aussies, clearly want us but are looking for the right deal. Is there an information on who the other bidders are? Like any guesses to who they might be 
    Well I’ve heard Chinese. They are supposed to be shown round the training ground and The Valley this week. 
    My source for this is actually normally pretty reliable.

    1860 - Giuseppe Garibaldi and his thousand redshirts conquer Sicily and Naples, creating the Kingdom of Italy.

    It may be that Purrington agreed a lower wage by getting an extra year.

    I don’t see Purrington’s move as having anything to do with a takeover.

    Think someone (Reams) on the other forum said that it was Monday, and have already met RD in Belgium.

    I'm sure there was a rumour a year ago that a Chinese consortium was being shown around the training ground. It's probably in this thread somewhere.

    You’re going to have to be very creative when we look into the future for pages 2020 and beyond happyvalley. I hope you’re getting prepped already.

    Well if there showing Chinese round the ground I hope paddy’s got the field looking good.oh shit I think I might  of said something racist again 
    .Don't think paddy’s our grounds man anymore though is he. He was a good player though wouldn’t fit into bowyers diamond.I don’t think he ever strayed 5 yards from the touch line. 
    Have a look at the Derek Hales goal of the season. He starts off in the right back position (for some reason) and ends up getting a cross in from the left wing!

    A championship Club paying £200k, £300k for players is not even par for the course...
    Duchatelet has also lost out before for caving in to a quick buck, being too quick to sell players, and for not having players on better contracts...
