    How is there any room in the budget for a wage increase for these two? Charlie Methven has just said the club has had to write an apology letter to the EFL for going over the limit already

    It doesn’t in the accounts, which is presumably the cause of any confusion. The EFL calculations have a different basis. 

    @Airman Brown interested to know (sorry if you have been asked before) whether you have any inside info on the purchase price paid and if the £12M figure bandied about has any sense of reality...  thanks

    Yes but that's irrelevant to the point I was responding to.

    Not definitive but we’re likely to get that from the accounts in April. The debt to Sandgaard will have been written off by him, paid down (by SE7) or transferred (to SE7). That should tell us.

    Didn't any ownership again and said 'one of the other owners'

    So is he an owner?

    I am waiting for the answer from anybody in this regime to give a clear answer as to ‘why Charlton?’

    The non owner is suddenly being referred to as an owner of many things.

    I think he was talking about the horse....ie, the colours of the horse was chosen by "one of the other owners" of the horse.

    Does this strata of people ever do an actual honest day’s work?

    No.  But then doing an honest day's work is hugely over-rated imo.

    Yeah you’re right. 
    Nobody on their deathbed is reported as saying they wished they had spent more time at work.
    I imagine the Methven strata would criticise striking rail staff for not working to take them to Fontwell Park or wherever.

    Ah OK that makes a lot more sense, blimey that's a dense moment by me, cheers Golfie

    I think you may get bored of that wait.

    Because we were available, no great secret or fairytale.

    It's probably easier to sell a club that have been in the Premier League to the investors you want to rope in too, and maybe a London club even, but basically chance.

    Same as half of the people sniffing round football for one reason or another, they've got no affinity with any particular club, but the one they buy is the one for sale.

    If you're struggling with that then I wouldn't go down the rabbit hole that is "why Carlisle" ?

    He was, the previous ownership came up. My mate messaged me saying Sandgaard sounded mental.
  • Fairplay can only take him at face value and seems genuine and wants the best for us

    Bring on next season !!!!

    Funny him talking about a club he has no part in running, according to Ronnie

    Not much you can complain about there, as a group they seem to want to grow the club in the right way, obviously Appleton was a disastrous appointment but they’ve sort of redeemed themselves getting NJ in. Ultimately it will come down to what we can achieve on the pitch next season, I really think playoffs has to be the absolute minimum next season. He came across well.

    Talked a good game all season leading us to our worst position in a century. But talks a lot.
