...and the postie has just delivered my half-year season ticket! Happy day indeed.
Just wanted to say congratulations and thanks to everyone at CARD etc for all their efforts in getting us organised. Also, big thanks to everyone who spent time and money protesting against the previous owner. There's no doubt in my mind he would have still been in charge if we hadn't made his life a bit more miserable than it presumably already is, what with him having failed at everything he's put his hand to since a bit of luck with a car gizmo. He can enjoy his retirement now, safe in the knowledge that he's no more than a brief footnote in the history of Charlton Athletic. He will be quickly forgotten.
And now, onwards and upwards, or rather consolidation and then upwards. Priory is to get the management team signed up on decent contracts, then the players they want to keep and then start building for a brighter future.
Apart from the play-off win, 2019 was a bit sh*t so definitely looking forward to a much better 2020.
Stage 1 complete. Now onto stage 2 (sack and/or execute the medical staff), stage 3 (get Bowyer and Taylor on new contracts), stage 4 (buy a team to play under/with the above) and stage 5 (get promoted).
And get rid of bloody Keohane ... one of the most useless and vindictive bastards to be involved in our club ever
Finally. I am so happy and thankful, I knew it was happening very soon, but still over come with emotion.
It’s a time of relief and excitement, all at once. It’s a time to look back and be proud of our fight and our support, what we have done over the last 6 years, all through the tough times and we are here now.
It’s a time to support the new regime and be positive, for the first proper time in a long time. But it’s also important to remember it’s a time that many people who aren’t with us today wanted just as much as us, and that’s incredibly sad that they can’t be here today to celebrate and enjoy this moment.
In a time where our fanbase was split, amongst it all have been people who can never return whilst others who have been through it from the inside. We have to have huge respect for people like Jackson and Solly who must be so relieved themselves.
But now we come out the other side, ready to rebuild together and as ESI have said, let’s make our great club great again.
Enjoy it everyone, enjoy it for yourselves, for the people we have lost, and for the future generations of our club. We won.
The very last post on this thread before the deal news came through seems rather fitting.

Reverse psychology always works. Or does it never work? Just to confirm it was in reply to @Chizz stating he believed that we were closer to a No from the EFL than a Yes.
Finally get to open the bottle of pink champagne I’ve been keeping for this day. Just got to get through an entire workday first, although I’ll be slyly streaming today’s game for the afternoon.
What a relief, we’ll done CARD and everybody for keeping the pressure on RD. I’m going to miss this thread, I’ve followed it for years now. Perhaps we can discuss endlessly what Bowyer meant by ‘strange’, perhaps we’ll find out soon.
Fantastic way to start the year. I think it's become apparant that at least some of us are cautious of where we go next. But surely it's a risk worth taking? Better the devil you know? Not when the devil is a yellow toothed old arsehole like Roland!
I think we will see how ambitious the new owner is within the next few weeks, but let's all enjoy a fresh start.
Now that it's sunk in I feel slightly numb. 4 years of wanting him gone and now it's finally happened. WBA at home in the league will be the time for all our emotions to really explode.

Surely we have only covered a minor amount of fish puns? No reason to think this is dead yet...

This thread isn't off the hook yet. Plenty more to carp on about and we can all flounder in panic when we've only signed Neymar by the 25th Jan.
Fantastic news and such a great start to the new year...Still jumping with joy, not enough tissues to dry the tears but have got a bottle of whisky thats gonna get a good seeing to.... THANK YOU to His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer, Matt Southall and Jonathan Heller and welcome . COYR

i always thought it would happen but there was always that nagging in the back of my mind. Not now though. Brilliant.
Now to make sure we stay in this division and build for next year.
Nice one ESI.
COYR!!!!!
...except for the ultimate biggie....
Fanny,s Tingle IS back !
Woohooooo!

Will they make it to the game?

Yes!!!!!!!! It's happened... It's fuckng happened...
Can't quite believe it...
If anyone from the club Comms OS is reading, can you remove the Belgian twat from the ownership page ASAP please?
Best not. Don't think I could face the embarrassing idiots in the background with tea towels on their head again.
