    Soundsas is back
    'Allo, 'Allo

    I saw you made a comment on CAFC Picks about smelling bullshit and I think your nose is right on the money.

    Reams on ITTV tracked his source, 'Tye Jiminez' with an IP address in Canada.
    'Mark S' posting on CAFC Picks has been tracked to an IP address in Montreal.. I know it is a big country ,but..... well maybe Tye told Mark because they are drinking buddies and it's all true, lol.

    But at least some folk stopped bitching at each other for a while, eh?
  • Has anyone called GCHQ? I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

    Fair enough. Just wanted to give credit where I thought it was due. Someone using your handle, then. They are from Milton Keynes.

    This is what was posted on picks earlier regarding his initial comments

    It looks as though my initial comments have stirred talk of the owner somehow selling up and moving on this week. As anyone with any idea about football would know a takeover this close to the end of the window is not favourable to either the new buyer , nor Roland himself , whom I expect to fully excercise the term firesale in January. Although that has put a dampener on it I will reveal more on what I definitely know.
    Firstly , there are not one, but TWO offers that have been placed on the table of Roland.
    One matches his asking price ( which seems quite frankly stupid to me) and the other , although falling around 6 million short, contains some very familiar faces ( not to be confused with the familiar face coming in on a transfer within the week.)
    Summarising all of this, I'd feel offer 2 would be one that would definitely represent a new era of stability for the club without much potential growth beyond the championship.
    Offer one on the other hand, although once again linking to foreign investment , seems rather exciting for the club should it progress as expected.
    Just a question , we've never had an owner in the Forbes rich list before have we?

    That level of specificity surrounding potential pricing is what to me says nonsense. I've been a part of various M&A activities and it's very rare that concrete prices are thrown around for everyone to see, and at times they're not even included until further down the road (plus the pricing and structuring of deals can be very complex). Given how Roland runs the club, a takeover would be an incredibly insular process, so this bloke would have to know someone in Roland's (pressumably small) inner circle. We don't even know who does our scouting FFS. I know that in a business sense football and football clubs are much dumber than most things, but still, I cannot imagine someone having that level of detail.

    It may be true, it may not be. It has been provided to us in good faith and the reaction we seem to have to these things makes you wonder why anybody shares this sort of information at all. I did once a few years back when I had a genuine lead about interest from a potential new owner and got all sorts of crap. If I knew the Queen was taking over, I wouldn't share it on here!
  • Has anyone called GCHQ? I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

    I'd have a word with my mate but he only does Armenia, so Canada would be well outside his area of expertise.
  • Just caught up with this whilst away in Nootdorp, the Netherlands and I make this declaration now and it's binding - if this takeover shenanigans turns out to be true I will let @i_b_b_o_r_g feed me the tenderest veal steak imaginable. Served with a side of fillet of unicorn.

    Only if the veal is ethically reared and not been stuck in a crate all it's short life, or you'll need to get someone else to do it, coz I won't go near it.
  • You've changed mate.

    Anyone can make shit up and post on line, if it's half sensible people will read and believe.....I've just seen Ralph little at London Bridge station

    That's right. I'm out in my cab and just picked up a fare at LB and it turned out to be Ralph Little wanting to go to some posh gaff over at Farnborough Park. He told me that Charlton fans are going to be getting some very good news and that big big money is getting involved. And he should know having played for Maidstone.
    Hang on a minute, here. I exposed the 'Mark S' poster as a crock, so bear with me. I believe the conversation between the cab owner and Rio Fedinand a while ago was reported 100% accurately. In fact he mentioned it privately the following morning and it was me that posted it, with his OK as I thought people would be interested. So before taking the piss out of him, or what he said, be aware that it actually happened. Whether Rio was on a wind up is a whole different story but my pal is as honest as the day is long.
    Chill dude

  • Is that it then? LOL
    Shortest takeover inspired emotional cycle ever

    Don't take it to heart Mutts.
    Trouble is we all want it do bad that people hit out through disappointment, frustration or scepticism

    I've absolutely no doubts that the Rio conversation was reported accurately and in good faith. I certainly didn't intend to mock the person for reporting it. I do have strong doubts that Rio would have any useful knowledge at all though and think it's far more likely that he's made a throwaway remark either as a groundless call for optimism or, perhaps more likely, as a gentle wind-up. Apologies if I've upset you or your friend.

    Much appreciated but its fine, thanks. I just wanted to clarify the situation.
  • Rio must still be in touch with becks. I reckon it's him buying us. Be quality that.

    I got the impression business was booming D but not to that extent :smile:

    If that's the case I'll have a side order of fois gras to go with it and I'll wash it all down with a robust glass of kitten blood.


    Seriously.
  • I wish mate your veggie tables are the only living thing at risk from your gnashers this week buddy

    Hope your well and feeling happy
