[cite]Posted By: bingaddick[/cite]What gets me is the authoritative sounding headline and then when you read the story it is as clearly based on reality as the Hogwarts Express is based at Kings Cross Station.
ahem, I've seen the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross!
[cite]Posted By: Oggy Red[/cite]Perhaps when we've been taken over, Zabeel could invest in buying the Mail and the sub-Standard to publish positive spin stories of how successful Charlton has become?
A bit like the spin Pards puts on a 1st team loss.
;o)
we could use the sub-standard as our version of Marca... will come in handy when we're in a bidding war for Ronaldo!

did I read somewhere that the racing chap got miffed that one of the racing papers said about him so bought the rival and pumped money into it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Not into Gee gees
As was said on Friday, it's going to go quiet, very quiet and those old hacks will do their best to get a story. Since when has the truth ever got in the way of a good story?
The problem is that the hacks spoil it for the decent journo's. They all get tarnished with the same brush.
Lazy journalism indeed, regardless of Mohammed Al Hashimi saying that or not that journo is not seeing the other half of the coin, that if the story is true Zabeel is not intending to have a hands on approach in football matters which is in line with how the Sheiks do run their businesses, appoint someone and back them up 100% financially while giving them a lot of freedom, if they do well they are rewarded while underachievers are weeded out.
As for the Charlton badge it might be true actually even if it sounds daft..Take a look at the Al-Nahyan Presidential emblem and compare it to Citys..
Not forgetting that 'doubt's remain about whether the deal will be finalised', on the basis of what exactly Mr Simon? Doubts at Mail hq because Raoul Simon hasn't ever heard of us because he's only just discovered 'soccer' in the last week? Doubts because Everton are such a fantastic purchase and Bill Kenwright once discussed the possibility of selling the club to Shoot magazine? I feel we need a more thorough explanation into the outer workings of Mr Simon's frankly ridiculous mind, it would make a fantastic comedy book this Christmas. As for the 'smitten by the badge' bit....Jesus H Corbett!
hey just had that script translated by my driver (no really) it says " may the dung of a 1000 camels fall upon he of an orange tan" . Cant help liking these guys.
If this deal comes off we should expect the Evening Goonershit to suddenly find we are in London, and the Sun with kelvin Makenzie crawling all over the new owners . The Gaurgian are way above all that -- they will just print bollox.

I think someone should keep a list of these stories, and the bone idle excuses for human beings making them up.
Then (hopefully) when all is completed, put each journo and editor's e-mail adress on here, and get every member on here to bombard them with suggestions of resignation for being outed as liars, and to pass the details on to other Addicks fans who are not members here so they can do the same.

This is starting to read like Scousers whining on about The Sun. Nobody died, nobody got hurt, it's just a weak news story.
What's with the inferiority complex? It's convenient for sports editors to link big money takeovers with named Premier League sides - just be patient, for heaven's sake.

So the story is even more make believe!

never done us many favours has he - we get about two finger width's match report even when we were in the Prem and doing relatively well
did I read somewhere that the racing chap got miffed that one of the racing papers said about him so bought the rival and pumped money into it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Not into Gee gees
In fact the bit about the badge is so extraordinary you have to wonder whether a reporter could make it up and expect to be taken seriously.
The problem is that the hacks spoil it for the decent journo's. They all get tarnished with the same brush.
How's the Battle going?

That'd make the Palace tosser go ape sh!t
Standard sports editor: "Oi, I want a story about Charlton being taken over by these f**king rag-heads."
Hack: "But we won't get anything new out of them. No-one's talking. They're in due diligence."
Sports ed: "I don't care. I want a story about it. Find something new or you're out on your arse."
Hack: "Err...." [heads to wikipedia, knocks up 250 words of drivel to shut editor up]
