  • 1612, 10 witches from Pendle Lancashire are hanged after being found guilty of witchcraft.
    Alice Nutter was an ancestor of mine.






    Just saying.
  • As regular as clockwork. Around Christmas time we hear that a takeover is imminent ( pre transfer window). Around this time of year we hear that a takeover is imminent (season ticket sales). Every sodding season.
  • 1613, Fire destroys London's Globe Theatre.
    I can't understand all this fuss about a fire. It's only a building.
  • Grammar police going into meltdown over new thread name.
    Who is the fan?

    That’s because the start of the transfer windows are the optimum time to buy a club, not because it makes any difference to the revenues or operations of the business. 
    Am I being too cynical by suggesting that it is also a great excuse for Roland not to spend in the window ?
  • International with previous english football experience:

    - Usmanov
    - Forest Al-Hasani
    - lots of ex Pompey crooks
    - Gillett/Hicks
    - chelini (Leeds)
    - Lerner (Villa)
    - Lerner (Southamton)

    Must be others, none of the above looks a great option tbh

    Isnt he at risk of having all his assets frozen as a Russian.  Would be very Charlton for it to happen to us.

    Is there a long way before the deal is done? Haven't seen any mention of timescales so would be interested to know from those with better knowledge of these things, how long it takes when a bidder has exclusivity.
    Hello @Valley11 - seeing as you asked this question in April 2017, I feel qualified to say that, yes, there probably was a long way to go.  

    But we are not there yet.

  • 30th June is two months away.  You'd hope someone actively trying to buy would get it faster. Sounds like more of the same.

    Either way, would he be at risk like the Russians?

    Was anything mentioned about the £30m bid from a 'former banker'?
    Crock of shit comments above 
    Only asked because of the recent link to Nicola Cortese which would tie in with some of the Bidder 5 elements of LDTs response.

     It should have been the first question anybody asked

    1614 Pocahontas marries English colonist John Rolfe.

    You're a bit off your game happyvalley. Still better to be a little late than premature my wife tells me.

  • 1614 Pocahontas marries English colonist John Rolfe.
    These posts are the only ones in this thread I actually look forward to.

    I agree. Fairly sure that my dad John Rolfe is in no way at all related and married Heather Felicity Peacock in 1972. 

    Hoping we dont get get that far though. 
  • Have we signed Delort yet? 
  • Seems slightly less lazy than the Sky / BT Sport reports. Obviously tilted more toward the Aussies but has at least got details in there, so maybe more informed by someone in the bid?
