  • Sorry to hear that James Seed has left, if anyone on here knows him, please tell him that anyone knocking him was in the minority and that the vast majority of us appreciated him passing on any info he had.

    He didn’t flounce off, he said he was spending far too much time on here so was taking a break.
  • Yes it was sad Seed was pushed out, but I'm confident Jimmy Trotter will do a good job

    He left because his family were complaining he spent too much time on here, he also wanted to start writing a book, i believe.

    This rewriting of history is ridiculous
    Whoooosh

    It's hardly a whoosh when several people have said The exact same thing.

    It was a joke about Trotter replacing Seed in 1956 not a comment on why @JamesSeed left Charlton Life in 2018.
  • @JamesSeed is shown as banned on his profile. Surely not self imposed....

    I think everyone "got it" including Stu, but he just quoted that as the last comment to save going back a page

    Thanks.

    I'm surprised that there isn't something like 'No longer a member' - which I've seen on other forums.

    I appreciate Seed provided us with some info and was one of the posters on here that was the most active, but can we try and keep this thread about the takeover, rather than people who had news about the takeover. This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, just trying to draw a line under it. He asked for some time out which we all thought was best. I believe he had the best of intentions when he posted on here but because of the protracted nature of the whole shitfest that is the takeover, things got a little intense and a break was needed. Nothing more than this. Personally I welcome any contributions from whoever if they hear something to add. May be wrong, may be right. As the great HI says, wait until it is on the official site

    But for the last sentence, would have been worth a promote.

    Who was that great man ?

    If that’s the case then why not make it a ‘new’ post rather than a response to my post that simply expressed surprise that there isn’t a profile category or ‘avatar’ for former members like ‘No longer a member’?

    It’s a bit irritating when my last 2 posts are the only ones I’ve posted on this thread that are not specifically about a takeover (when the thread has multiple posts from multiple posters about anything but a takeover, plus a number having a go at @jamesseed).

    Also, is it really necessary to refer to @jamesseed as ‘Seed’ (like a policeman or old style school teacher) rather than by his user name as is the usual practice?

    Well none of the messages I saw were threatening.

    I'd prefer to hire a hit man than a solicitor.

    You wouldn't have seen them. You have not earned the epithet "CARD ****" , so you were of no interest. And they were sent as direct messages by various social media channels.
  • Any news on the takeover? Last I heard Rowlund wanted to sell, had screwed up by not going with the Saudis and was scratting around for a buyer prepared to pay what he thought he had agreed.

    Some press leak suggested Usmaninov was interested. Smelt like a Duchatelet leak trying desperately to convince the Aussie consortium there remained interest from elsewhere so they should close the deal.

    Desperation stakes.

    Points taken mate. And I only used yours as it was literally the most recent one when I logged on.

    I’ve always referred to him as Seed and don’t mean anything by that, same way I wrote HI instead of Henry Irving, or someone might write elfs instead of elfsborg
