Spanish article about Charlton

CAFC Offical tweeted this link to a translation of a Spanish article written after the Tranmere game.  The translation is generally hilarious, but a couple of things worth noting - apparently we signed Simmo from Barcelona because they signed Maradona, even spanish journos have questions about our ownership trail in Switzerland and BVI, Kermogant is "slow" and the JPT is actually a "glass child" - no wonder we lost...

  • This is the article referred to , it's actually well researched , we did indeed sign Simmo because of the old two foreigner rule which meant Maradonna's arrival hastened the Dane's exit.

     

    In a weekend soccer teams, the only stadium in London that Spanish could play was "The Valley" (Valley), the court that Charlton neighbors dug after the First World War, in an old quarry clay. A Levantine estate, Llanera, sponsored his jersey, before suspending payments, in the fall season of the Premier, 2006-07. The Dane Allan Simonsen played there in 1982, when the signing of Diego Armando Maradona became foreign quota surplus of Barcelona.

    Charlton Athletic was owned for half a century of family Gliksten, trading with wood. Tired of spending your money in football, he was sold to Mark Huyler. He signed to Simonsen, who was denied a day to ride the team bus if you do not pay. Payments were then pending always conclude a contract on a batch of rubber. An entrepreneur in media services, Richard Murray, took him to the Premiership, but after several errors in the signing of "managers" and two declines, losses healed nine months ago, selling 90% of the club's lawyer Michael Slater, a fan of Manchester City, and Tony Jimenez, who has real estate. Born in London, the son of a family in Seville. Represent the company owner, whose paper trail leaves traces in the Virgin Islands and Switzerland.

    Who will own hidden? Why buy when some 4.5 million euros on players' salaries and additional costs of about 5.5 leave two or three million annual losses on Third? If you go up to second, the TV money would go from 350,000 euros to 3.5 million. They would have to guess in many ways to reach the Premiership, where they would receive 35 million. The sale of the club could pay a good deal then. Have signed Ruben Bover, Mallorca, 19, carrying two English in the lower leagues, and Mikel Alonso, Xabi's brother, returned to England, was formerly at Bolton, after visiting Tenerife. Bover Alonso is injured and is recovering after an ankle problem. They did not play in Saturday's tie (1-1) with Tranmere.

    But there was excitement in "The Valley" to see Mikel debut on Wednesday against Brentford in a glass child whose name says it all, Johnstone Paints Trophy. They won 0-3 and outsiders Alonso's game has not yet confirmed that the pace of the competition. At Brentford, who coaches the German Uwe Rösler, Seville played Miguel Angel Llera, before Charlton.

    Persistent Passion
    According to the Professional Footballers Association (PFA), at least 240 foreigners (excluding Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Northern Irish) play in the 72 clubs of the three lower divisions of English professional football. Ten are Spanish, eleven counting Carlos Pomares, which is on the Sheffield United Academy, for its agreement with the UD Alboraya Valencian. There are 19 French, 13 Australians, eight Argentines, an Iraqi and Burundi.

    Since Roberto Martinez, Jesus Seba and Isidro Diaz came to Wigan in the summer of 1995, and Albert Ferrer landed in Chelsea, in 1998, English football has changed in the field and in the box. Twenty Spanish clubs now play in the Premier millionaire, counting youth academies. Yet 15,038 spectators attended a Saturday to "The Valley" to see a good third party, which was the only foreigner Yann Kermorgant, a French striker Charlton, slow, crafty, with a decent shot.

    Was thinking the same thing but couldn't remember his name. lol.
  • Not sure Yann will appreciate being described as "slow".

    "Conclude a contract on a batch of rubber" - an interesting reference to a bouncing cheque!
