    I don't think the Aussies are wasting time. More likely they have made their offer and are sticking with it. Question is will RD get fed up with all the abuse he gets from us and the media, plus having to pay the bills. After next week he will be unable to sell the players, until January. Maybe the twat will finally give up and sell next week.

    It's only our window that closes next week, he can flog players to Europe for all of August.
    Of the players who might go to Europe, Igor is injured, Bauer seems settled in England while Sarr wouldn't be especially missed anyway...

    The thing that I am clinging onto is that if it was over, I believe there would be some sort of statement saying so. That being said, nothing is beyond the realms of possibilities with this lot.

    You would have heard from the Aussies if it was over.

    The 'difficult couple of weeks' are almost up. The 'it'll be worthwhile when its concluded' bit should next, I'm praying.

    Agreed, but only if the players want to go, presumably?

    Unfortunately Roland has history with forcing players to leave

    Stephen Dafour - Standard to Porto - He didn't want to go, Roland wanted the money and told him he'd never player for standard again if he didn't leave
    Yann Kermorgant - CAFC to Bournemouth - We all know about this one
    Diego Poyet - CAFC to Standard - was offered a CAFC contract but told he'd be loaned out straight away to Standard

    I'd be interested to see who gets 'transferred' to Sint Truiden (as i type this i realised that Roland sold them last year)

    He won't be around.
    But it is imperative that we dish out the abuse to his representatives. Be it Murray, Rubashow, burger boy whoever is sitting in the box.Has to be loud and in their faces. The message has to get back loud and clear.
    I'm not having it that they are nothing to do with it. They continue to stand by a man that is systematically destroying this football club. They should be held with the same contempt.

    Bit different when the player knows you want to sell the club and have someone about to buy it

    Didn't he turn down a move to a Romanian club?

    I'd completely forgotten about this one, but this is another prime example

    there was also trying to flog Solly off on loan to Gillingham (however this was mainly Katrien i think)
  • Alisher Usmanov has accepted defeat in his battle for control of the gooners with septic Stan Kroenke, much to the chagrin of many in North London.
    He'll have a fresh £550M sloshing about for new investments.
    Perhaps Everton, his good chum and long time associate Moshiri would be the obvious destination if AU wants to stay in premier league football.
    If he's slightly more patient, he could give his old adversary a much bloodier nose by rejuvenating the London team from the gooners' ancestral home.
    Anybody got AU's phone number?
    He'll only need some pocket change to get things started in SE7, a quick thumb through his contacts book and his next London football project will be up and running by the New Year.

    Yann wasn't forced out, he was offered a crap deal and instead chose the better one from Bournemouth, If nothing else, he could have stayed with us until the summer if he really didn't want to move.
    There's no way now that a player could be forced to move abroad, if he tried to do that to Aribo or Bauer they'd just laugh in his face and take the wages until their contracts ran out anyway in a year's time

    Maybe all this talk about the Aussies refers to Alisher Usmanov - initials AU.... AUssies? Maybe? Please? Pretty please?

    I have just emailed the EFL maybe I can suggest that if enough of us do this and continue to do so then maybe - just maybe they will do some lobbying. This will onl occur if enough of us do so.

    This is what I emailed to them, I will let you know what response i get back.

    Dear Sir/ Madam

    I would like to enquire why there does not seem to be any interest from the EFL regarding the plight of my beloved club Charlton Athletic, a once proud club now being owned by one of the most inept owners ever seen in English professional football.

    I am sure you are aware (if you are not then I truly despair) that at this moment the club does not have:-

    A Chief Executive Officer
    A manager, only a caretaker manager.
    No Chairman
    No Board Members
    Only five players on the bench vs Sunderland last Saturday
    Reports that bottled water being stopped for training other than for 1st team squad.

    This owner has seen season ticket sales fall from 17,000 to 5,000 in five seasons and has overseen a club debt that has risen to some £65 million.

    So my point is how can Mr. Duchelet be considered a fit and proper person to be an owner of a Football League Club.

    I look forward to your explanation with great anticipation.




    As far as I am concerned along with thousands of Charlton supporters the EFL is in dereliction of its duties to Charlton supporters.

    I sent them an email with very similar wording this morning, willie, responding to their promo message for the launch of the new season. It didn't bounce, but not holding breath for reply!

    I thought there was more to the Usmanov rumours than just that ‘sighting’ could be wrong though. I’ve heard it a few times.

    Can't believe this is still going on.

    (I'm guessing will probably also likely be said in august 2019)
