    Seems an age since we had a “BOOM💥” on Twitter…
    I think Sandgaard has spilled a bucket a water over his explosives.

    Think he sold them to raise some money

    The story of the ‘Boom!’ summed up in 5 seconds. 

    This describes Sandgaard's time with us more than a thousand words can.

    Getting to the stage where I like Charlton Life a lot but really don’t like Charlton Athletic very much. 
    Crap, isn’t it? 

    (the sentiment, not the Charlton Life bit!)
  • Is it possible to reopen a closed thread?

    Before anyone gets excited I have no rumour but surely with TS barely engaging anymore and rapidly trying to cut costs it is just a matter of time?

    Not previously particularly pro or anti Sandgaard, but so sad about what is happening with the club and even more worried by the creeping apathy that both my son and I are feeling about all things Charlton at the moment. Not being a Twitter user, is he not posting anything about matches now, if not that has got to a huge sign that he is losing interest? Also, am I right in thinking he once said something about it being easy to run a football club and that people made it unnecessarily complicated? Can't remember the exact quote, but how silly does this make him look now. Has anyone had the opportunity to point this out to him?

    Sandgaard hasn’t actually tweeted anything for months and months.

    I got to the point of buying the stream today at about five to three, then Joachim Sandgaard's tweet sprang to mind and I thought, 'Naah, fuck it'.
    Well done JS!

    Joachim Sandgaard and Leo Rifkind are only echoing the Thoughts of TS.

    TS made the huge mistake if thinking we have a hard core set of support akin to Sunderland or Sheffield Wednesday. By hardcore, I mean the numbers turning up regardless of what kind of shyte is served up.
    We are nowhere near their loyal levels.

    I’m not sure any club in the South has that level of commitment from their fans.

    Suggested elsewhere that TS wants £25m for the club. Despite this two interested parties remain, one British (not Varney and Barclay), one overseas.

    Also said TS can’t afford to pay Castore for the white away kit, neither can he reimburse UoG £500k for their sponsorship.

    Likewise, been told people asking the question, Tommy not interested although that may have changed after “ little Lord Fauntleroy” indiscretions on Twitter this morning and the continued misery on the green bit. 
    Not sure what he thought he would achieve other than get told to feck off.

    Sunderland, like us, have a rival club just round the corner. I think it’s a matter of pride to their fans that they support their club no matter how bad things get, just to stick two fingers up to Newcastle. 
    Our average attendances (tickets sold) have normally been higher than Millwall’s, despite them being a league above us. This season we’re almost identical. 
    Would be sad to us falling too far behind. We’re in decline, but that’s not yet made me so apathetic that I don’t want to go, or that I won’t pay for streams, even though it’s torture sometimes. 
    Let’s hope these rumours of potential buyers are true, although at £25m it seems unlikely.

    I’ve never felt more disengaged from the club as I do right now. 
    Spot on. I have a season ticket and have only seen 1 game, so it is not a cost issue I just constantly look for excuses not to go and they are very easy to find.

    I would imagine he’s been advised to say nothing by one of his legal team, for fear of foot in mouth disease as shown by Rifkind and Sandgaard junior

    Sandgaard wants £25m for an asset that loses him £8m a year and has no chance of breaking even under his ownership.

    Oh dear.

    He'll eventually accept £1m or so with his debt in 2nd position should we reach the Priemership.

    IMHO

    It will however get bumpier before that happens.

    At least Duchatelet has something to sell.
