    At the very least, this news could get the Aussies moving.

    If it was a choice between the 2 (and I'm not saying it is), I know where my vote would go.
    well i was doing a poll using a new method but looks like its been taken down for some reason

    I'd prefer the Aussies to be honest, a Russian oligarch doesn't sit well with me

    It’s not him - and a good job too....what kind of weirdo wears a watch on their right hand?

    I'm left handed, so me, I guess.
    I'm left handed but always wear my watch on my left.
    Weird Unique.
    Definitely not unique as I'm the same...

    Trying to look for similarities between the two images and the only one I can come up with is how miserable he looks.

    Welcome to Charlton.

    That is DEFINITELY Usmanov....small mole above his top lip on his left side another high on his right cheek just below eye.
    I've enlarged the picture of the miserable looking 'large' man in the Directors' Box with the Aussies and can't see the moles you mention (but they are there on the separate picture of Usmanov) - unless he's dyed his hair & is wearing some slap...?

    I want nothing to do with Usmanov and his ill begotten money.

    Better not do it then.

    If Roland expects this to be finalised possibly within 7 days, surely that must mean the Aussies taking over, as Usmanov will have to complete the dreaded DD.

    They are clear as day on both photos.....can’t believe you can’t see them on The Valley photo.....jeezus, take another look Mac.
    I assume you are talking about the photo with him with the tartan scarf/ blanket?

    If your watch is on your hand you're doing it wrong.

    It should be on your left wrist... Anything else is a sign that you're a freak.

    I’m exercising extreme scepticism after reading the new link and I don’t believe a word of any of you on here say, no offence. #TeamWIOTOS #RefreshRefresh

    Given the last 4 years of decline, i think you might well be in the minority there

    I am well aware. But to me there are worse things in life than Charlton being in League One, and the way that these Kleptocrats made their money, how they use it, and who they support with it is a bigger problem in my view. Same with the rumored Saudi takeover.
