    Hearing that new investor may be in place.
    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.

    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.
    So we are back to square one in year 6...? ;o)
    Did someone say "exit strategy"?

    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

    I'm honoured, fame at last!
    Yay, me too! Although it was probably not a complimentary mention...
    However, take a bow, E.E.Cabbings - very good.

    Roland is the tool, not you me old china.

    You’re a threat to my seat at the table, but would never call you a tool :wink:

    Mentioned in the same line as Ibborg.
    It's a sign I tell you.
    Blackpool 72 for next moderater.

    Oh and




    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

    Now we've passed 1010 and 1011, it should be 1100.

    NLA can't wait.

    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.

    Suppose if we only have 9 players it won't be too expensive
    3 brothers are paying their own way there.

    How long did it take to compose that ? Great effort.
    ha - got the elbow from this bird I've been seeing yesterday so naturally I thought what better way to spend the evening than to put our takeover into song form.

    I'll have a crack at the next two verses :)
    That's long distance relationships for you @t'cobbles.

    No real squad.
    No footballing management.
    No senior management.
    Training ground is a building site.

    Who in their right mind would buy us in our current situation.

    I can't help but feel The aussies are gonna pull out and we're gonna be proper fucked.

    Or they'll seperate club and ground and we'll be on the road to AFC Charlton, what Roland has done to us is unforgivable.

    We really need one of the previous groups to come back in, although I fear time has run out for next season and one why or another, RD will have some form of control over us next season.

    For someone who's never wrong and doesn't do failure he'll be hurting though Stu and totally p*ssed off from 1.5% of his business interests giving him so much grief which I can take plenty of comfort from.

    He wants out and has to bite the bullet at some point.
    I bet he's not hurting as much as I am, or 95% of this forums membership.
    Maybe it's my 60 years of support that has hardened me as part of the remaining 5% then. As I said the other day he can't take away all my treasured memories down those years and I won't let it get me down.
    My first game was early 1958......I have supported the Addicks for more than half its existence and I will be damned if I am going to let the shit stain destroy my passion.....fuck you Goldfinger.....fuck you a million times over.
    100% he has strong sociopathic traits.....just like the character Ian Fleming created, he has little or no empathy or understanding of others emotions and as such most likely doesn’t have a clue about the stress and despair caused simply because they are emotions he himself doesn’t have.
    Sounds like my ex-wife!

    Yeah but apart from that, there must have been some attraction though mate :wink: .
  • Been detached from following this too closely over the last week, but if I try and weigh up what seems the most likely rumour aspects its as follows

    - strong rumours that following a review by the EFL, one or two investors who were part of the consortium no longer are

    - strong rumours that the consortium reduced their offer, whether as a result of losing investors or for a different reason

    - Roland 'reacted badly' and sold Konsa. Attempts were made to buy off the o/s director debt at a reduced rate, which appears to have been unsuccessful. RD has since re-engaged with forming budget plans based on a non-takeover

    - Loose / fixed deadlines set for finalising consortium / proving funding capability / completion

    - @JamesSeed now believes that the consortium have plugged the investor gap that was created during the EFL process


    Not as detailed a summary as Henners excellent ones, but am I following what are perceived to be the most likely of the rumours / info being shared?

    This is the perfect gif for this whole saga - up and down, up and down, up and down, and never getting any closer to the end of the ride.
    Thank you. Worth a promote that I reckon.

    I see your stats are similar to Henners, plenty of quantity slightly lacking in quality. Keep plugging away though mate :wink:

    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.



    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 has history with Stupid decisions
    Yes. Refuses to buy a dishwasher because washing up after dinner gives him quality time with his wife.

    My mum never wanted a dishwasher her view was 'What do I need one of those for I've got your father' :smiley: .
