Who knows what’s been agreed who knows where the players will come fromShootersHillGuru said:They’ve given Bowyer the green light to find another striker. If that’s all the business we will do then I’m worried for our championship status. A striker from Blackpool ? and a couple of loans is hardly what you’d expect from the next Man City.

That also insignificant message would have also been pulled apart, over analysed and huge assumptions made from it, followed by some personal attacks on whoever the poster has been digging out for years.
Not worth the hassle of having to put insignificant things in context given the febrile nature of this site after a defeat.
You’ve been on the scene long enough to know full well that there is not a single forum in the world where a contribution on the lines of ‘I know something you don’t’ has ever gone down well.49 -

fuck me your like a miss Marple
Put yourself in a “public” position so to speak and you’ve got to expect scrutiny .
Keeping our potential new owners on their toes is no problem to them if they’re gonna be doing things the right way .
If they’re up to no good then that’s when some digging and sniffing around will potentially make them think twice about any skullduggery.So I say carry on being a snooping journalist Airman .
It’s the age we live in where the world is a smaller place and public positions are exposed to more scrutiny.17 -

Part of that visibility also means we get partial insights like the accounting document most of us can't decipher and plenty of rumour and gossip via social media channels. It can't be easy and it seems they're managing the process pretty well with the team assembled so far. If we get an announcement tomorrow or early Jan we can all look forward to the next phase as the squad is strengthened for a top half finish (now 12/1 on sky bet). Feeling pretty relaxed myself.
B@ll@x, I was quite smug when I got 10/1 while others only got 9/1. Never occurred to me we would lose to Derby & odds drift out.1 -
To be fair the striker is all we heard through bowyer. I would imagine that’s because they had a target and it needed approval from both esi and Roland to start discussions.ShootersHillGuru said:They’ve given Bowyer the green light to find another striker. If that’s all the business we will do then I’m worried for our championship status. A striker from Blackpool ? and a couple of loans is hardly what you’d expect from the next Man City.It may be there are other target positions we have not yet heard about.Also they have never said the new Man City that has come from fans dreaming4 -

I think there’s a lot to be said for the old adage and slogan “would you buy a used car from this man”
Nothing wrong with legitimate scrutiny. If there’s nothing to find then it won’t be found.8 - Sponsored links:

This is normally true but I’d suggest you’d be a bit mad buying a used car from anyone involved in football, original/proper Reg Vardy excluded...ShootersHillGuru said:I think there’s a lot to be said for the old adage and slogan “would you buy a used car from this man”

I totally agree. Constant scrutiny and negativity are a right pain.nth_london_addick said:
This with bells onDA9 said:Not concerned if MS has a pot to piss in or not, it’s irrelevant to his ongoing role, which, if his early actions and words are anything to go by, is significantly more hands on and fan base friendly than RD could manage in a lifetime.
He is being paid (or will be 🤞🙏) to do a job, not to invest, he is well connected within the game it seems, friendly & approachable, hopefully will run us professionally, that’s all that should matter.
His wealth, or lack of it, is completely irrelevant IMO
if there is anything that has eroded at cafc in the last 10 yrs it’s the person fronting the club failing to find empathy and acceptance of what charlton means to the fan base
to have people dig up shit on anyone associated with them in the way they are and then gleefully announce “ I just found it”
is pathetic and shows the agenda I mentioned two days ago
leave ESI to show their metal leave their employees to show their own class or if it happens lack of it
this club has been poisoned internally and that poisonous toxic behavior has spread to others outside the club who feel they have to continuously and meticulously dissect the lifestyle and history of those individuals
There was lessons to be learned by all through December 2019 general election
the behavior of how people react to constant negativity and constant sniping and not trying to allow people to put their stamp on things in a grown up joined up majority supporting way is not going to get you recognised as a positive and will back Fire
leave this new era to do what they want to do give them a chance to breath and implement their plans freely and without constant scrutiny if you live as a negative then only negatives happen
By the way, your post would be much better with some full stops added.3 -
If you think through the logic of that comment it would necessarily mean that some people are interested in the information, even if you are not.shine166 said:

fuck me your like a miss Marple
At any club of any size or with a fully functioning local press, the fact the incoming executive chairman was reported to be out of work with no income within the last year; or that he he had been linked with several other unsuccessful takeovers or that he does not appear to have run a similar business would be reported and commented upon.
If you want to rely on the account provided by ESI’s PR man then no one is stopping you. I didn’t bring this information here for exactly that reason.
VOTV also sets out why we should support the new owners and how the important tests are about their actions in January, but in my view we should do so with our eyes wide open, especially given previous experience. All this information is already in the public domain.

I really don’t think you’d like the person behind that NLA - ex member of Arthur Scargill’s Socialist Labour Party for a start. Thanet politics is a wild and wonderful place but you won’t understand it from reading local bloggers (and ex-councillors).nth_london_addick said:

I will say January won’t define ESI their interest their integrity their commitment to growing charlton the right way will do
yes we need signings to assist through this mental injury ravaged squad but we also need perspective
target in 2019/2020 is to stay up that won’t be achieved by miss managing a budget with panic signings7 -
I think it will if we get relegated, which at the moment is a significant risk.nth_london_addick said:I will say January won’t define ESI their interest their integrity their commitment to growing charlton the right way will do

Would people blame ESI for relegation? Especially if they give Bowyer funds to try and get out of this?4

Let’s all light up a Hamlet and relax...7

I wouldn’t blame anyone in particular for a relegation other than the spiteful football gods that decided Bowyer needed testing with an injury decimated squad. Early in the season with a full squad Bowyers Charlton were a match for anyone in the division.22
