    1637, HMS Sovereign of the Seas is launched at Woolwich Dockyard. It costs £65,586.
    Waheeey! back on target

    By the way £65,586 in 1637 money is equal to £7,709,371.96

    In 1637, you could buy one of the following with £65,586:

    Horses: 10296

    Cows: 12168

    Wool: 81982 stones

    Wheat: 17124 quarters

    Wages: 936942 days (skilled tradesman)

    Bloody interesting stuff. I knew there was a reason I came on here!

    Spoke to someone at the club today and they have no idea about a takeover. Doesn’t seem to be anything brewing according to them. 

    Not even tea

    I’ve heard Yvette Fielding was at Wembley...
    Maybe she was pitching a business plan for a takeover
  • So @Airman Brown , if you were a betting man what odds would you put on a Charlton takeover in the next month?
  • I can confirm that in Indonesia (the worlds largest  Muslim country), there are no casinos or openly obvious gambling establishments of any description.
    However, they do gamble continuously almost on a daily basis........such as every time they get on a fucking bus..............or any form of transportation come to that!
    The dog racing times at Romford stadium have been brought forward to accommodate the far eastern TV market as they have paid for the refurbishment. Think you'll find a few quid being bet on the doggies overseas!

    Interesting question. I’d put it at about 2/1 against, but that’s only because RD is bonkers.
    He clearly hates us, and can't bear the thought of losing money because of us. There is method in his madness.
  •  Someone has posted a picture of Alan Curbishley at Wembley at the weekend. The “middle eastern “when he is definitely Ravi Patel from the club.

     Sorry to piss on your cornflakes 
  • If he doesn’t sell in the next three weeks all the elation from promotion is gone for me, it will be another season of misery.

    Genuine watershed. 
  • Gonna happen today ! 

  • Can’t be announced yet but I’ll give you a clue...

    New sponsor is a popular energy drink

    New catering is from a company known for their microwave noodles
    I see Carabao ads are popping up on the club website...

    Full radio silence from Mr Murphy. 
    Obviously that means the sale is imminent.
    Should all be wrapped up by the weekend ;-)
    It’s  happening!
  • Said many months that we will only be sold if one of 2 things happens:

    1. RD lowers his asking price.
    2. RD dies.

    I'm pretty sure number 2 hasn't happened, so does anyone have any info that number 1 has?

    Do we as fans get a choice? Im asking for a friend, hes a hitman and works been a bit quiet lately. :)
  • Only seen a hoopoe twice in my life, the first time was just before RD took over, and then  I see one yesterday. If that ain't cast iron tell tail sign, I'd like to know what is...

    "2 weeks max", "no ifs, no buts", "it IS happening".

    There's a rumour that it's dipped under£40m, but who knows.

    If that's true I believe we will be sold. 
    Less than £40 million for a championship club is reasonable. 
    As a rough guide, Wolves were bought by Fosun for 45m a couple of years back.

    Aston villa were bought for 62m by Xia. Not sure how much he then sold his majority stake (55%) for though, i think it was about 30m.

    Dave Whelan sold Wigan for 22m last year.

    Theres nothing reasonable with Roland
  • It’s a bit like buying a house, the headline figure looks tempting at £400k but then the owner insists on being paid an extra £50k when you put your £150k extension on and the house goes up in value.

    Oh and the owner is keen to make sure that if any of the fixtures and fittings he flogged off on the cheap turn out to be undiscovered masters later, he wants any money for them too.

Roland Out Forever!
