  • I think Golfie is getting the brunt of it. I say lay off him. Disagree with him all you want, but don't make it personal.
    Agreed. Don’t let the bastards grind you down Golfie 👍
  • I want to know what Addicks59 has heard that he wants to know if anyone else has heard so that I can then tell him whether or not I have heard it and whether I have heard what he has heard or whether what I have heard is not the same as he has heard.
    Airman brown hinted at something similar last week on the kit thread.

     Nothing too exciting or fresh this season, bigger deal season after next but depends on being in a higher division, AB said IIRC.

    I do think people are misconstruing when Mumford said "partner" to mean share holding investor rather than a shirt sponsor who also works the community trust etc.

    But Swisdom also hinted that the new kit could be out soon and he was close to that last season.

    But as ever when it's on the OS 


    And WIOTOS goes for what @Covered_End_Lad said.

     Really hope the positive info he's getting is accurate but we'll all have to wait and see if it works out as TS, SG, GR and NAc pla. 

    That's what realists like me do 🖖


  • I share Gilbeys pain, knocked me for six 
     1 in 4 Convid cases ends up as long covid. 
    I’ve not seen that before. I thought it was around 1 / 10
  • I think @golfaddick and @SoundAsa£ should have a nice meal together and be friends again.
    It's too hot for all this bickering.
    Great idea. 
    And as you suggested it you can pay the bill.
    I'm willing to contribute a little.
  • Goodness me to do ever get bored of doing the WIOTOS… it’s so boring, you don’t have to repeat on every post until the end of time … your not a comedian with a catchphrase 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


  • I think this is the third in as many weeks I’ve requested this. Clearly no one reads it, or if they do then they just simply don’t give a shit. 

    STOP POSTING PERENTAGES ABOUT OTHER POSTERS.

    60% of the posts yesterday were completely unnecessary. 90%+ were nothing to do with rumours. 


    I also made a point a while back about posters treading on my toes regarding percentages but oh no that doesn’t apply to you ffs 
    once again I request everyone to back off I have ©️on CL %ages
    as of right now I’m 100% pissed off 
    I agree with you 100%.

    Anybody heard this rumour the new partner that Thomas was in discussions with has pulled out if true it is a massive loss.
    If by partner you mean sponsor, then yes, heard it a couple of weeks ago. Hence no kit launch. 
    Not sure that one is true. I am certain (not ITK) we have a sponsor sorted and kit release planned... Our kit releases have been around mid July for many seasons bar last, which was sept.

    I do believe we lost a sponsor though.

    Ive also heard we have a foward / winger very close should be confirmed early next week. Its a name that im sure has been mentioned in despatches before, the person who told me dose not work for the club anymore but claims that one that has told him still does. So im guessing its the same bloke as others have been told. 
    A rumour at last!!!

    Nothing to do with shirt sponsor it is a partner that has pulled out I have been told and by all accounts there are a few people in the club that are disillusioned. 
    Who are the few people?

    Disillusioned?!? Why? From the outside the club seems to be in the best place it has been for years and years..

    What’s it got to do with you shorty? 😉
    Nothing really, Grandad.

    Again I find this hard to believe only because TS has stated a number of times he was going alone until at least we got back in the championship .. why would anyone in the club be disillusioned blimey after what they been through over the years !!!!

    Would imagine a lot of companies are pulling back from sponsorship given the last 18 months especially if they have furloughed staff it would not look good

    Can you expand on this?

    Oh no, not Ravel Morrison.
  • It’s a shame more clubs don’t take a harder line against making agents richer. They’ve been sucking money out of the game by doing very little for far too long. 

    In all US sports the PLAYERS pay the agents and all they get is 5% of contracts and 10% of endorsements. How hard is that? Football owners in Europe have no balls. They could fix this in one afternoon if they tried.
    Chalk and cheese.

    One country (bar Canada), much more centralised control, commissioners, franchises

    While what you suggest would be great you'd have to get agreement across multiple leagues (three just in the UK) plus every other country.

    Also, the system suits richer clubs, they don't want a more level playing field so they won't agree it 

    As we've seen, in the UK the clubs, not the leagues, have the power.

    Even the rules as they exist now are widely ignored because owners and managers want the players and will pay agents to get them 


  • Text book “Colin” response, there.

    In answer to your question I got 4 out of the 5 I mentioned correct how did you do zilch have a pop at someone else or do not comment on my post.All my comments have been double checked before I put anything out in the public domain if you do not believe me that is your problem.When I came onto this site I under the impression it was a rumours thread have I learnt if it isn't my spelling it is questions about what I have written I am in a very lucky position I know a lot of people very close to the club.

    Can you explain why there are people in the club apparently disillusioned?
