I think they want to try and start playing football there.
4 division's higher than they should be3 -
You got to admire them really. Good effort for a little club from Surrey1

Confirmation; the Spanish consortium ain't got the dough. They should walk away and stop wasting everybody's time. I bet they haven't even lodged their paperwork with the EFL yet.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Interesting point about Gonville Bromhead. (The character played by Michael Caine.) The only reason his platoon was left at Rourke's Drift (or KwaJimu as the Zulus called it) was that Bromhead was practically deaf. It wasn't considered that sensible that an officer of the line be involved in battle using an ear trumpet...happyvalley said:1879, Battle of Rorke's Drift, Michael Caine's finest hour.
Thousands of 'em
The FC Barcelona is one of the few clubs in the world to be owned by the club members themselves. Together these members form the governing body of the club and in 2016 there were an estimated 140,000 members.0 -

Parrish needs to have a word with the Belgian idiot.soapboxsam said:There's a certain club in Surrey who after the ex tango man had financial problems had 4 business men arrive and buy the club.
Steve Parrish was one and the other 3 were fans who have such a low profile that a Palace pal of mine (manager of a bookies) said most fans don't know their names.
This gave stability to a club that had financial problems under both the flamboyant Simon Jordan( used to be shite now he's alright) and Mark Goldberg.
The Americans Harris and Blitzer then got involved and each own 18% as does the chairman Steve Parish. The 3 low profile fans Gosling, Browett and Long own 12% between them.
This is 66% the rest may be a company from Delaware who haven't named anyone.
This was the state of play a year ago, but I know Harris is a restless character who wanted to move Palace away from run down Thornton Heath to Guildford or somewhere else even nearer to their fan base and their true rivals Brighton. Don't think that Susanna Reid's (lucky bastard) ex lover agreed.
It pains me to say this but you have to look at clubs that are in the Premier and how they manage to run their side. Steve Parrish is a smooth operator ( maybe too smooth) but boy do we need someone with Charlton in their heart and passion now to steer Cafc through these choppy waters.
Foreign investors with a Charlton type Parrish with a 20% investment would at least give as a fighting chance.
This is death by a thousand cuts under Duchatelet.
A chairman who would transform us.

If about 10 extra pages get added along with 700 new comments....on a daily basis.
Surely when something does actually happen and the club is genuinely actually close to being sold.
You are looking at a potential of 600k comments in the space of 2minutes.
I think the comments might even dive into the millions.
It will be a thread implosion0 - Sponsored links:

Insert bomb/earthquake joke here
They still have to re-house 5 of the 6 families in Wooderson Close, get permission for six 4-bedroom houses somewhere else in the Borough (and build them). They are struggling to do this as they are competing in a market which includes the largest residential developer in Croydon - who happens to be a Brighton fan and is deliberately over bidding to screw them.
They need to deal with and compensate the foreign (private freehold) owner of the one of the houses who they have been unable to contact and finally they are required to satisfy all sorts of pre-commencement planning conditions, including Section 106 with Croydon Council. None of which they have achieved since the initial PP went in.
On top of that, our beloved mayor of London has so far turned donw the three proposals they've made for re developng the main stand.
Oh, and they still have failed to come to any agreement with regard to Sainsburys in relation to their car park and access for the new main stand construction.
Their redevelopmentof the main stand is not going to happen within the next five years of that I'm certain.

Never mind new stand is it not about time they changed their badge or team colours again, stripey wankers.6

Before the very popular Antiques Roadshow Became a national treasure, there was another similar show of that ilk.
Instead of Roland Helmet Douchebag Shitweasel Duchatelet going on Talksport with his buddy sunny Jim, I suggest that he goes on this program with his financial advisor to get the Sale of Charlton done and dusted ?

Roland is the problem, as Dalman and every other bid is finding.
As an occasional reader on this forum, the outsider impression is there's a contingent who consistently bash the Aussie bid with sweeping statements based on no evidence what so ever, or taking the word of Roland and his lackies as gospel.
Here's one example. The Cloob has said the Aussie's just need to submit paperwork with the EFL. Some people believe that, some don't (some believe the EFL, some don't).
I don't trust what this regime says.
Then you said that there's a contingent on here who still believe the spin that RD and his lackies come out with and I said that I don't believe there is.
