The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Talal

Potentially naive for him to say, wonder how kindly they'll take to it.

Isawsummersplay

Rather LB had kept that to himself.

FFS why is nothing ever easy as a Charlton fan.

Strange = He'll have some dough to ply with

ricky_otto

Maybe he has told Bowyer he hasn’t got to sell his best players for pittance, that he will finally get a proper contract and that money is there. That would be strange for Bowyer as he has probably only ever heard “huh” from his current employer.

Could he mean strange as in the type of money/ambition they have is strange for Charlton? Not seen the interview as at the ground

We aren't going to spend anything this window. The plan is to go down and start again.

We're getting a director of football.

We're having a change of name to "Abbey Wood West"

It’s Charlton 
of course there’s gonna be “strange” things about our owners matches our fans ! 

CharltonByBlood

Worrying he said that, however the smile makes me feel slightly easier about it. 

iamdan

Don’t think he’d start digging out the new prospective owners live on Sky. 

Id say he meant ‘strange things’ as there will be money available in January! 

kafka

Strange as in ‘weird’?

i_b_b_o_r_g

Just watched the interview - at least he said "Strange" with a smile on his face......

Valleyofdreams

No it was definitely strange as in weird that’s for sure. God only knows what he means by it. Never easy supporting this bloody club!!

Takeover about the 8th January.

Weird meaning unique {...}

“Strange” meaning that Bowyer has shed loads of dosh to buy anybody he wants!

From what they said on Sky that sounds about right but next week is more or less a ‘dead’ week so could drag on a wee bit longer.

Strange as in  “we’ve got shit loads of money to spend” ? 

I hope he clarifies this after the game.

Maybe strange means they already have a good budget or players in mind? 

FishCostaFortune

Considering the only owner he has worked under is RD, I guess anything slightly normal will appear strange to him.

At least thats what I am hoping he meant.

He does love a bit of mind games 🤷‍♂️

soapboxsam

Warnock or Pardew, who would you like as director of football Lee !

soapy_jones

The "strange" thing was that they promised funds to build a team to finally beat Millwall...

I admire some of the optimism on here but “strange” does not sound good to me. This is starting to smell dodgy.
