    Who was it that actually decided to start this rumour - I didnt see it on another thread.
    Good work though.

    That's great, how long before it's in the papers?

    Shame it isn't about us as the Wiki entry refers to another club, admittedly one rather close in name (Charlton Ahletic) to our goodselves.

    We won't get any more coverage on 5live, it'll be the one after 909.

    There does seem to be some truth in this, although fellow consortium member John Lennon was unavailable for comment...

    John Lennon could still run a football club better than tangoman.

    Well it's been a long and winding road to get us in the mess we're currently in but I reckon that together with Macca we can work it out.

    Yeah you're just a jealous guy. Imagine if it were true he would be a proper working class hero in SE7.

    Well this is what the Wiki page says right now:

    "In 2010 there was heavy speculation surrounding McCartney that he was to head up a consortium launching a take-over bid for struggling Charlton Athletic. Links between the club and the famous musician go a long way back with Charlton's famous supporters anthem - Valley, Floyd Road - using the tune and a number of lyrics from the Wings song Mull of Kintyre.[216]"

    [cite]Posted By: Stefco[/cite]Nice one Pilchard! A gem of a rumour. Absolutely hilarious! :-D

    It wasnt me, I said "The McCartney one is mine (I wish)". It is a bizarre thread which I found hillarious but I can't take the credit for it sadly (boo hoo etc).

    If it's true that Paul McCartney insists on 'Eight days a week' does that mean that Steve Waggott will be known as 24/8?

    I reckon that Wiki entry will last 2hrs tops

    Still here at 2AM, 14 hours later. Has Paul McCartney got a sense of humour and wants to let it be? Will there be an answer?

    Been away for two weeks and I come back to this thread. It's without a doubt the most ridiculous buyout rumour we have had so far. What could possiby top this one.
