  • Happy birthday, Gezza (18th, so a bit late for Oz time ....)
  • Good work HG.

    And good spot.. GHF. Happy birthday Gerard.

    We’ve got some ocker Aussies on board.

    Sounds like the same bloke Afka.

    If I am correct, Peter McBain was Managing Director of a Civil Construction / Mining contractor called Brierty, resigning in 2016 following what looks like a disastrous road upgrade project which made a $15m loss, shortly before it went into admin.

    He previously had a number of years experience as a General Manager - Project Development in the mining / infrastructure sector

    50% of 928 respondents said they were likely to buy a season ticket if there was a change of ownership

    Yes I looked up the survey after I posted my question. Very useful.
    If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?

    There are remarkable similarities.

    In 1086, Charlton had 13 villagers and two slaves. Today 13 players, and Bowyer and Jackson.

    The tenant-in-chief was Bishop Odo. Now it's Roland Odd. Bishop Odo of Bayeux never visited either.

    The Lord of the Manor was William, son of Oger. Now it's Tony Ogre.

    Back then Charlton was worth £7. Now it's feck all.

    BTW, it's a bit weird that William, son of Oger held only three properties, Footscray, our Charlton and another Charlton down near Dover.

    That site is really cool, thanks for sharing (the slaves thing is a bit grim though!).
    Right, I'm glad someone else noticed how interesting that is!

    From a friend who works closely with the club:

    Delay in takeover caused by one of Andrew Muirs investors not passing fit & proper test due to connections with a former club. Newcastle or Everton apparently.

    Deal is now complete and is awaiting approval from the FA.

    Won't be announced until after Norwich game.

    1 day after the Norwich game or 2 years afterwards?
    Does it really make any difference? It’s a five year plan after all.
    The transfer window might make a difference.
    Was kidding. Will edit that post.
    Just whoosh the idiots. It’ll be easier.

    My inside source tells me the deal will likely be announced just after the Norwich game. Didn't even know we was playing Norwich

    That's why the EFL rejected 2 members of the Aussie consortium because of their involvement with other clubs, it was all a simple misunderstanding
    And we're going to be renamed Carnoustie Athletic.

  • A bruce mcfarlane is director of a law firm specialising in mergers and aquisitions.

    Not that one, he’s American.

    Stuck with those potholes in the car park then.

    Does make me laugh, 30,000 comments of bilge and unfunny joke attempts, get some previously unknown actual info on the table, nothing.

    Strange bunch at times

    It's the mirage mentality that this thread has morphed into. People are unable to see the wood for the trees.
    You've been told on numerous occasions to close it. Spose you missed that as well!
    ;-)
  • Gday Bruce?
    Think I’ve found him. Investment guy.

    Does it really make any difference? It’s a five year plan after all.
    Of course it matters. And that plan might well go out of the window dependant on circumstances.

    All well and good saying they are in it for the long haul but we are in a pretty shite position now.
    Sorry I was kidding. Should have used the winky thing.

    But you have to look at it from their point of view. It’s not their fault we’re in a shite position, but the present and previous regimes’.

    And at which stage of the negotiations would you have cut corners to speed things up? Because how else could you speed up what is effectively a legal process.

    If they’ve made a mistake on the way that’s slowed things up, then fair enough, but even that wouldn’t have been deliberate.

    I know it’s frustrating as hell though, for everybody.
    To be honest I don't think any of us really know what the issues have been. No doubt a lot of it is to do with Roland and the previous regime. The Aussies cannot be blamed for this nor can they be blamed that we are currently a League 1 side with a squad that looks incapable of changing that for the better this coming season.

    It is frustrating, and although not their fault, doesn't mean we should be content its a 5 year plan. Every week with Roland makes that plan more difficult IMO.
    Agreed, but I don't see we have a choice.
    True but don’t mind we have to joke about it as it’s not a laughing matter.
  • Think we now know why we have no CEO or FD.
