Oh, come on, mate. I'm not always his biggest fan (and vice-versa) but he put the smiley there. He was joshing.i_b_b_o_r_g said:
Who laughed? This constant who guessed right and who guessed wrong is nauseatingHenry Irving said:You all laughed at the six questions.
Not laughing now are you? : - )
1 Who owns the club?
2 What's the business plan?
3 How is the plan being funded?
4 What are the plans for the Valley?
5 What are the plans for the training ground?
6 What's the exit strategy?
There maybe many positive reasons why Sparrows Lane hasn't been purchased yet IE a wish to submit a different planning application perhaps with links to multi million grant funding that RD dismissed, perhaps a dispute over the rugby club to be resolved.
There are also more negative ways to view it. No money, a property play, make your guesses here.
The way it has been released into the public domain, tagged on to a "bigger" story (not so IMHO) about Taylor does not instill confidence.
It does, perhaps, answer the question about why the completion of the takeover took longer than many expected.
But the six questions themselves are not joshing. They are absolutely fundamental, and bear constant repetition because people lose sight of them and get lost in detail, rumour, and conspiracy theories.

I'd also assume a local journalist would/should dig a bit deeper before pushing out a soundbite like that.Airman Brown said:

Much better news and as I guessed, the reason for the "delayed" takeover.Scoham said:
Still have to wonder why they are doing this via Crawley.
The club has its own Comms team, website and Twitter account that could run the whole story, not just 240 characters worth.3 -

Where do you think the information came from? I’d say it was ESI’s job to package messages properly rather than have to firefight the response, but they probably didn’t anticipate the reaction it would get.WSS said:

so could of been true at time i was told that they were after it,then found out RD was a C..tAthletico Charlton said:
Palace are building a new training ground in Beckenham where Goals/Fitness First/Gambados is/used to be so I doubt that is true.bertpalmer said:I was told months ago that palace where after sparrows lane dont know how true that was but it was by someone at the Rugby club who also told me about them taking Charlton to court0 -
Oh come on. Why would they withhold that information?Airman Brown said:

How did they seriously think that was going to go?0 -
Just a quick reminder to anyone who might think that the training ground isn't intrinsically linked to the history of the club or who might think that the club can very simply up sticks and train somewhere else: Sparrows Lane doesn't just comprise training pitches, offices, changing rooms and a car park, it's also the site of the memorial to Pierre Bolangi. That cannot and must not be overlooked.4

Maybe the Rugby Club are suing Roland and ESI don’t want to be part of that law suit?bertpalmer said:I was told months ago that palace where after sparrows lane dont know how true that was but it was by someone at the Rugby club who also told me about them taking Charlton to court0 -
There is a need for a Q+A meeting between the fans and ESI. Fans Forum ASAP . Not all questions re dosh will be answered (not should they) but directional strategy etc should be the focus.Plus they have said they want can engagement and that's a two way street.
Understand re Taylor I said in another thread his value isn't limitless.
Looks like a tough two weeks !!
As always prepare for disappointment it's CAFC after all .

Official site posting a full interview with Matt S outlining his plans for the club.3

Why can we all not just be happy? They have committed to invest a further 15mil on the training facilities. We know why they haven't brought it right now as this would of taken us past January & the transfer window. Lets all stop being detectives & just enjoy the fact Roland is gone! Now to sell out Saturday & show the new owners what a fantastic club they have brought!!!8

Isn't the training ground project a mess for issues with who owns what and what the rugby club were promised etc etc, rather that was ironed out while the footballing side and the Valley were owned and addressed first6

No, I insist on everyone shitting themselves as soon as any news breaks on any subject.2

I've been reliably informed that the SL purchase will not go through until Tony clears up the mess he's left, which will include him personally filling in that bloody great trench he had dug and returfing over.3
