  • I feel like we are on the proverbial brink in terms absolutely everything, takeover,  bowyer,  transfers,  contracts pending to out of contact players. I've decided im going turn my phone  of not log in to any football/ charlton related sites just turn it back on a weeks time from now. 

    What will be the situation in 1 week  from now?

    My predictions

    Will Roland  still be here ?  Yes

    Will bows be here? No

    Will any of players signed their contracs? No

    Will we have bought anyone? No

    Uber negitive in the hope I'm wrong see u in a week:)
  • Still amazed when I see ‘google’ or ‘Wikipedia says he’s our new owner’ posts in 2019, do people think the internet has some kind of magical power to see the future? 
    Seems to predict Porn Hub on my search engine

    If true that he now wants 33Mill plus director loans, that seems reasonable for a club like us, given the league/facilitators/youth set up/fan base - Big Big If though 
    So you think that our club is worth £40m. Are you sure? 
    It’s only worth what someone’ll pay for it. 
    I don't believe that anyone will pay £40m, certainly not the Aussies.

    For a championship club in London? 100% will have interest at that price, if that’s really the price.

  • Can I have a timing fork please? I’m timed out. 
  • The Tuning Fork was invented in 1711 by English trumpeter and lutenist John Shore

  • How much is he worth? After a quite a while of trawling the internet all I could find was 253 million on a site that looked almost entirely like bullshit. Anyone else have a figure?

    Looking around, there is nothing about his net worth, which tells me he probably has plenty. But when you look at all the people he knows (and knew,) and his current roles with many banks and investment companies, all that tells me he is worth oodles. It's not just what money he has but what money he can access and my guess is he can access whatever he wants. If we get him, my guess is we will be limited only by FFP rules and not much else.

    Pretty much what I thought. Investment bankers don't give too much away. His past endeavours puts him up there. He clearly wants his own football club. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. Here's hoping.
  • Nothing is developing here though is it. It is just a face and a name to a story we already knew about. A story that has not gone anywhere for a few months.
  • I'm going back to the crisp thread until this all blows over.  
  • A shooting star moment of hope.
    Put away the It's Happening gifs and continue the life draining vigil of waiting for the didgeridoo botherers to actually do something.

    What's special about June 24th?
    It's the day before we play Australia in the cricket World Cup at Lords

    and if the deal is not complete by then the potential new owners have missed out on a free day out Aussie bashing whilst drinking copius amounts of alcohol with me and mates 

    **Offer closes midday on the 24th June to new owners.




    They Aussies might be watching on the telly, from down under.

    Golfie is that you?
  • I’ve heard the figure is £37m
    Perfectly reasonable for us is true 
  • I’ve heard the figure is £37m
    That might be £33 plus a guess at what the Directors’ loans are costing to settle?
  • I’ve heard the figure is £37m
    Airman states in his latest VotV blog that the reported sales of CAFC in the £30-37M range do not include substantial payments upon any future promotion or perhaps player sell-on fees. And that the free and clear price is quoted as much higher. No way is RD walking away, writing-off £30-40M in debt now that we are in the Championship when we was unwilling to do so in League One.

    I guess Dalman is going to have to comment on this publicly pretty soon if for no other reason than to clarify his plans with Vincent Tan at Cardiff.
