    Didn't and don't know now it's Josh Harris.

    Oh for goodness sake, stop being so disinegenuous, AB.

    You know full well it is Harris. And if you did not trust your sources when you were apparently told last weekend, they were confirmed today when Apollo Global/Harris made no attempt to deny the Daily Mail story.

    I think I'm probably better placed than you to comment on what I know - even if nothing else!
  • This is or was a rumour thread so saying 'I did not know for sure' is no defence

    I think that's the point incorruptible is making.

    Why not post it on Tuesday that you knew it was Josh Harris. I mean nobody waited until next Monday to mention about the non story of the wages.

    It's not a non-issue with the wages.
    Yes it is. Wages were paid on the day they were contracted to be. It's got nothing to do with you if they were paid by BACS, CHAPS or in cash. The Club fulfilled it's obligations.

    Yet before 9.00am this morning you were on here telling us that the wages weren't paid.

  • Where have Appolo Global and Harris been asked for comment on the Mail story
  • does he sell carpets

    That was Phil, wasn't it?! Charlton-supporting family...perhaps a distant American cousin?

    I'm with this. Credibility gets stretched when we see such bitterness come in.
  • I am so 100 % with you addicted re Airman's post re wages, I'm think it has jack all to do with him and dont know what he was hoping to achieve in posting it.

    Yep, he's just coming across as a disgruntled ex employee now, yesterday's news. I just hope his shit stirring causes the minimum effect it deserves.
  • I'm more bothered about the disgruntled current employees releasing this info.

    Comment. I'm surprised Airmans even that bothered about prothero being paid late :) not that he even was.

    Not singling out Airman, although I agree he should never have raised the matter in the first place. Within five mins of his post,there were others citing it as evidence of why we must never thank the current owners for their stewardship of the club.

    When this sale goes through, Slater & Jiminez will have passed on the club in a much healthier position than it was when they inherited it. That means they go down in the ledger of Charlton history with a credit rather than a debit. And that seems to infuriate some folk.

    It's a big jump from posting an accurate piece of information which was making waves inside the club and had clearly been given to me for a reason to this so-called "bitterness", which frankly is laughable now. I wasn't the only person who posted it anyway but I did so because someone wanted it out there.

    There was a problem paying the wages. Staff were anxious, because they hadn't been kept informed. That's not down to me, however you box it up, and the consequence is that it emerged through two different sources on here. If there was in fact no problem then staff should have been briefed and it wouldn't have surfaced.
  • So who gave you the right to be judge and jury.
  • But they got paid on the correct day. Was never an issue and should not be a reason to pop at our board. Find something more justifiable if you want to keep the loyal fans on your side.
  • the fact that the wages were late was something that should be important to us all as it shows how low our club has sunk. So thanks to those who have made it common knowledge but perhaps, in hindsight, it should have put on a separate thread.
  • Football has moved on from the anorak days....some think they are more charlton than others...totally laughable
  • Sorry Airman, but you were the first to post it on here - and in this thread as well. Not quite sure what you hoped to achieve.

    I just get the feeling that at the moment, if we won the F A Cup you'd be in here posting at 6pm that the players only had Cava in the changing room.

  • Perhaps it should have been posted a day later LL they weren't paid late they were paid on the day they were supposed to be.
  • O and i was a anorak home and away in the Exile years, but it doesn't make me a better supporter than anyone else.

    The wages weren't late.

    They were due to be paid today and they were.

  • I think we've done it to death, to be honest. The important thing is that people have been paid. I note your comments and you can disregard mine as you wish.
  • If they are usually paid and cleared in your bank account by 8.30am or have been for the last 3 years and they weren't there by 9am is that not late?

    I did think at the time that announcing that the staff hadn't been paid a couple of hours after they were due was a little naughty.

    Yes. To be accurate, they were paid on the correct day.

    However, they were not paid by early morning & CHAPS payments only guarantee payment by the close of business.

    Payments such as direct debits, standing orders & cheques, could have been bounced in the morning as wages weren't received until the afternoon.

    NB I worked in banking for 30 years :-)
