    It’s so depressing.

    We are reliant on the financial support of a bloke with no interest in our club and no desire to see it progress. Who is demanding an unrealistic value to pass on the keys.

    We are reliant on a variety of fixers, some with a connection to our club, some with no connection,  ALL governed by self interest, cobbling together whoever they can to ensure they get their fixer fee or equivalent personal benefit.

    We are reliant on whatever rich idiot(s) who get talked into having a punt by the successful fixer to undertake a level of sensibleness and not make a bad situation worse. To hope that it’s not a property play, or an unrealistic expectation to profit from the Prem without a realistic plan, or a platform for another experiment.

    I’m going to need real convincing of the chances that any of of this will end well 
    This is the best post on this thread. 
    We are on page 1530 and you think that post by AFKA is the best post ?

    Hold on let me check.
    See you in a few weeks then once you've read through the thread

    AFKA would win that hands down

    Not to his face I’m not.

    He loves Charlton.

    That's why he is so reluctant to sell. He just loves owning the club and it's simply just....hard to let go.

    Look how happy he gets when he finally finds the time to visit The Valley.
    That was the first week of his tenure at Charlton, and he couldn't even be bothered to wave scarfy. 

    The look on his face was after being asked, by Cawley or Mendez,
    If you were an emoji what face can CAFC fans expect in 5 years time if  :) represents the Premier.

    Steve Gallen is due at the next meeting I believe. We’ve already made representations regarding this area and were given the ‘ top six will help sell the club’.

    will be interesting to ask how this all fits with the budget Bowyer supposedly has
    Utterly pointless the FF talking to Gallen. Should be insisting Murray attends and explains his support for this nonsense. 
    Gallen is the new Jacko defence mechanism.
    Where's Stephen Henderson when you need him?
  • Probably still knows more than Harris though!

    Just had Gary Lineker in the cab. He knows nothing!!! Useless 
    Off up to Manchester for the PSG game tonight is he?

    I'm beginning not to believe this poster.

    First Harris, now Lineker.

    It'll be Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford next (who will know more than Harris to be fair).

    If you get Rachel Riley or Gemma Arterton in the back and the're feeling a bit frisky , give us a ring !!

    I hope you told him to keep his ears peeled or pricked.

    Now you come to mention Eamon Holmes, I bumped into him late last week in a florists when I was ordering some flowers for Valentine's Day. I forgot to ask if he knew anything about the status of our sale.

    FF - pointless nonsense, boycott it along with a completely empty stadium next season - its the only thing i can see left if we truly want rid of rd
    You can call The a Fans Forum a waste of time and a vehicle for the club to puff smoke at the fans but the reality is that each time a meeting happens “we” find out something. Sometimes it’s not all about what they tell us as much about what they omit to tell us or deny or fudge. Each snippet of information is a piece in a jigsaw. 

    I for one welcome each meeing and than those that attend for asking the right questions. I agree that the presence of Steve Gallen at the FF is just fluff and although it would be interesting and worthwhile on another occasion at the FF it’s just a distracting sideshow. It should be LdT and Murray firmly in the line of fire.

    Fair enough, each to their own - personally the regurgitation of all the same old stuff that is reeled out and then follows on here is well past interesting - I know the answer which I’m sure will follow - you don’t have to read it which of course is right

    Agreed. Afraid I didn’t recognise him at first. Then I heard him say to the florist that he was on at 4pm (found out afterwards he is on Talk radio’s drive programme). Seemed a nice guy and gave me a hello as he was leaving.

    The only real question is when is the virus going to leave Charlton. Van Turkey's honest answer would be "when my boss decides to". Bearing in mind Roland's true feelings of contempt for us, the fans, we will be the last ones to know when that is.

    Strange timing for a hello 
    I was about to respond with a comment about the Irish but didn't want to run the risk of a ban a la Shannon Gabriel!

    I should clarify - "about to respond with an Irish joke" - not with a similar comment as that attributed to Shannon Gabriel.
