    I am going for comical, I cannot see Usmanvov being anywhere near this deal.

    I'm talking about Keith Harris.
    I know nothing about Usmanov.
    Less likely usmanov more likely Orville

    Funding for 5 year plan has been key, as they always said.
    Never been a problem with buying the club. Funding had to be arranged for 5 year plan.
    Hence investor had to be in place.
    If investor was needed just to buy the club then we would indeed have problems as some have said.

    "may" is the biggest word in that post.

    In place as in agreed to be involved or they did that ages ago and have passed EFL approval and so actually good to go? I imagine the former.

    Not a bad record!

    Nothing happens. Nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful.

    The club are off to Portugal for a training camp - Something happened to earn that sign off.

    Lyle Taylor has come in - Someone authorised his purchase.
    Harry Lennon and several others have gone out - Someone authorised his sale

    I can't help but hope that these moves are being orchestrated by someone intending to buy the club...

    I don't care who you are
    Where you're from
    What you did
    As long as you buy CAFC

    Bowyer does have a budget. Yes Taylor would have to be signed off but at present the departures of Konsa, Kashi and Lennon plus the wages of the loans are being saved and that money is what Bowyer has to play with. At present he’s in credit. I’m not saying that he will have all that wages money available but even RD is not stupid enough to think you can let 9 players leave and not replace at least some.
    Tell that to Liege after he started their fire sale. (and lost us Bulot as a result)

    On the overseas trip, RD limited the budget to £20k, which is why they struggled with it. They either managed to find a way of doing it for £20k or the budget went up.

    There is a (reasonable) view that Robinson wasted money last year going to Ireland twice.

    Pontius Pilate offered the mob the chance to reprieve on of the three man awaiting crucifixion.

    They called for Barabbas, rather than Jesus, so he was saved.

    Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensive

    They’re top and tailing in the twin rooms too so they’ve only needed to book 3-rooms to squeeze everybody who is still at the club in

    To the tune of Billy Joel, we didn't start the fire

    Doucher, Duchatelet, how much will the Aussies pay

    Sparrows Lane, James Seed, 1000 pages on my feed

    Ezri Konsa, Redskin, patience is running thin

    North Greenwich, the Peninsula, has this thread gone too far

    Elfsborg, Red Henry’s wrong, nth London addick sings a different song

    In the know, the price too high, Napa can’t multiply

    J Block, breakthrough, Roland needs a new shoe

    Ibborg, Blackpool, Roland you are a tool

    We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

    We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

    Done deal, Airman Brown, Hackett Fairchild going down

    Donald Muir, he’s not poor, Roland can you reduce the price a little more

    Russell Slade, Lewis Page, Colin’s on the rampage

    Hashtag not a penny more, Roland’s on the dance floor

    Rubashow, press release, KAG questioned by police, Roland brush your teeth

    Essex Al, on the prowl, onward to 2000 pages now, Airman is our sacred cow

    Chris Powell, Harry Kewell, Gomez got sold to Liverpool

    Checkatrade, hopes fade, how much longer for this whole charade

    We can’t sell the club, it’s been on the market, and he’ll sell our next starlet

    We can’t sell the club, The Aussies want to buy it, the EFL will fight it

    How long did it take to compose that ? Great effort.

    I was going to say in place, but just being careful

    The funding for the 5 year plan is actually the most important bit imho.
    Some people are on the pitch

    Remember this is the same man that:

    - thought Polish Pete and Reza were adequate replacements for Yann
    - appointed Katrien Meire
    - paid Roger Johnson's wages on 2 separate occasions
    - thinks {...} is part of the English Language
    - made a teenager/early 20's man child Charlton's 'chief scout'/ head of the network scouting team
    - Paid money for Bergdich
    - thought Charlton fans wanted the club to fail because we protested about HE was running the club

    have i missed anything?

    Regardless, the man broke the mould with Stupid decisions
    there, fixed it for you
