Does he feel that LB can keep us up with a limited budget whilst he can break even, perhaps make a small profit, hence can still bide his time without need to drop his silly asking price? Perhaps if LB had walked Durlachet would have had a complete disaster on his hands that he would have to have sorted out therefore he may have felt more inclination to sell? Dont get me wrong wanted Lee to stay but it must also have massively suited RD because he believes he can do a good job with limited budget whilst he can keep Lookman money which will line his pocket for a while! If he's not further funding us and Lee works a miracle and the results are not a complete disaster he can bide his time playing what ever silly games he's playing with potential investors! Just a nasty thought!
So we lose approx £7M p.a in League One, and can break even/small profit 2nd tier. It's likely we'll go down and he'd lose £7M in one season, it he could play safer and give Bow an additional £1.5-2M budget p.a and have more chance of incurring the same losses over three seasons while he looks for another loon to pay his price.

He could,yes. He doesnt understand football at all,he just worries about £. If the rancid one understood football,he would've understood that you dont make money out of it until you reach the PL and to do that you have to give your manager a bit more to spend than what you find down the back of the sofa.
He ain't selling. I think the only way to get to him is via Belgium. And I think we need to be talking to his partner and kids because at some point in the next 30 years this will become their problem. They may have some influence on him, no one else appears to. No one in their right mind is going to pay his price. Which means either he doesn't sell or we end up with someone even worse who does even less due diligence. We're stuck with him and regular trips to Belgium are going to be the only way to remind him we're still here. The mountain won't come to Mohammed. The Helmet won't come to Charlton.

30 years!!!! He is 73 in November, typical he would live to see a century the vile old git.

Don’t think we ought to be wishing or hoping any ill on Roland to be honest. 73 isn’t old these days so even bringing his age into this sorry state of affairs is pointless and quite frankly tasteless.

Even though he's actively trying to negatively affect our lives? I might not wish him dead, but I certainly won't be drinking to his health any time soon.

Yes. Even that. Wishing ill on someone is really pretty scummy to be honest.

Hopefully he wont see 74
...as owner of Charlton. And, instead celebrate many more birthdays in retirement, while no longer having any involvement in football.
1966, "Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over. It is now".
The game should've been stopped, and a bounced ball should've occured. Back to 3-2.
The FA were so clever having a Soviet Linesman for the Final just 21 years after the War. Tofiq Bahramov from Azerbaijan which was part of the Soviet Union. In his memours Bahramov wrote that he thought the ball had hit the net ! and then span out. Tofiq Bahramov retired with his trusted guide dog by his side. Back to 2-2.

1966 Jimmy Seed, our greatest ever manager, dies in Farnborough hospital, Bromley.
Didn’t know that, same hospital I born in.
I never knew that. My son was due on 5/12/92 and Farnborough hospital was the drop off point. So I did what all good dad's should do and was at the valley with my pager (did you have a mobile in 92 ?) and had a stand by driver just in case. A wonderful day was helped by Matthew (named after Matt Tees my first hero as a lad) being born 6 days late.
From my view in the west stand my lad stands with his mates right under that Colin Walsh sign in the upper north in the back row.

Back to 3-2.

No penalities back in 66, just as well.
Why tarnish England's finest moment ?
Seifenkiste Sam.
sorry. Wrong thread.
The ref was Swiss.
In a few days it will be 1994 take that released a number one single.
I prefer the ones about wars and historic stuff.
The 20th century was too good.
Thanks....industrial revolution.
The spirit of Jimmy protects any Addicks who visit.

Strange but true.
