I can tell you the staff and players haven't been paid overnight as usual (last working day of the month), even though the club is contractually obliged to do so.
This worries me, aren't our team of professional footballers expected to work on a Saturday then? ;-)
How long before we are made to sing this when the subs come on after 70 minutes.
Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd; Buy me some beer and an edible snack I don't care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team, If they don't win, Hamers to blame For it's one, two, three goals for Yann At the old ball game.
re acworth I know he wrote to billionaires but thought he had only go to the top #100 so far...?
How funny would that be if in his opening communication to the supporters Josh says " and a big thank you to Jonathon Acworth for pointing me at Charlton in the first place"
Hmm no public response to this 'story' so here's my take
1. If this is the only bid on the table, I cannot for the life of me imagine why the club sellers would leak to the press. 2. There might be a second bid; certainly info I have points to a different potential buyer from a different part of the world; and looks like Reams had similar info (even though I am sure his guessing game with the company name was a blind alley) 3. Even if there is a second bid, I still don't know why the seller would play a highly dangerous game in the press, one he cannot control 4. That leads me to be worried that someone else is leaking to the press. The question is why, and I don't find ready answers which are good for CAFC 5. The Mail identified Harris , the SLP did not, but it knew the name. Looks to me like the leaker approached the Mail separately.
Overall , just my take, I don't like these particular leaks, not sure they are designed to help a bid go through. And I think any deal is far from done, and may well not be with these people.
I'm told that staff are very unhappy indeed but have been promised funds will come in today.
If this takeover goes through, will you be able spill what's been going on behind the scenes the past few years?
The most likely route for further information coming into the public domain is Steve Kavanagh's employment tribunal, although personally I cannot see that going ahead in any circumstances because in my view the club has no case.
Great question about where it will leave peoples views on slater and TJ
NSS asked me this last week, that if there was a take over and it turned out to be a very good financial deal for cafc
Its taken a while for me to digest and consider but
Then they should and would be held in terms of achievements whilst in role succesful and instrumental in helping rebuild the club from its lowest point
Its a bit of bitter\sweet
But like HI says I will believe it when its on the OS
In 25 years time when I've forgotten all about CAFC and my grand kids go back over the club history they may well decide that TJ/MS were the start of the renaissance taking the club from the bottom half of tier 3 to (hopefully) a middling position in tier 2 and complying with the new FFP rules in terms of the club's finances.
They could also conclude that their arrival arrested the downward spiral of the previous administration.
Time so often changes people's perspectives BUT we will know!!
Just one further comment that may already have been made - the Daily Smail article is the first that I have read that specifically refers to KC as a backer. For a man who shuns publicity I wonder what he is thinking???

Nah It made national press around the time that he obviously withdrew support. Make of that what you will.

Hadn't realised that.
No, the Daily Mail used the phrase "Cash is claimed to be" or some other - thus they're not acknowledging a source, or stating outright, and therefore covering themselves from libel (I would think). Reading through various CL investigative work is what gives that impression, so yeah.
