  • Can we close this bloody thread now
  • I know I said I was going to open the pink bubbly, but I needed a quick turnaround tonight, so I went for this instead before I headed out the door 


    Where can I get this?????????

    No! Long live the takeover aftermath thread.

  • Will there be a press conference so we can find out their short, medium and long term plans?
    Usually Sky Sports News broadcast this type of thing live...Let’s hope they don’t have the opportunity to talk about Rooney that day.

  • I must say I am rather pleased.

    I now believe in alien abduction.
  • ...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. 

    Come on you red boys!
    2nd paragraph, the geezer sold when the deal was right.

    No more, no less.


  • 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. 
    20k plus that day.

    Anyone know if the Aussies have made a bid to ESI yet?
    Hopefully they can now reveal what the crack was with their 'attempt' at buying us.

    Get down there Sunday! 
    No point hanging around.
    They’ll be on the pitch I’m sure

    Just fk off Roland.You lost.Have the good grace to go quietly with your bag of cash. 
    Oh dear, so wrong.

    On a winner or loser basis, Dushitelet won(he got his money back) and we lost comfortably.

    Interesting that Southall owns more than 25% of the shares (but less than 50%) in ESI.

    How you know that?.
    It's on Companies House.   No change yet on the ownership of Baton.

    Would HE give him a % of share holding if he was "just an employee"?  
    Baton own The Valley?

    Has it been confirmed ESI have bought the lot?

    No Airman today?.
    I’ve just been enjoying Roland’s rambling nonsense on Sky, if you don’t mind.
    What did the silly old sod say?
    It’s very important that people enjoy themselves at matches. I was hoping for mention of dancing.

    He did say “enjoy the moment”. 
    Jim White - “I know you know the club inside out”

    Oh the days when that would have pissed me right off!

    YOU REDS!
    How far up Dushitelet's bottom did his nose go?

    Not far in my opinion, White bull***** as much as our EX owner.
  • DOUCHER said:
    Yes, great effort by all who did something by way of protest but let’s not forget lee bowyer in all this - if he hadn’t got us promoted I think we would still be stuck with rd - he needs our support more than ever now to help get us out of this injury induced rut 
    A bit controversial but I reckon their bottle will go and bowyer will be history if our poor run continues.

    I'd be against this btw.
  • Didn’t even realise we were up for sale 
    Sir NLA, bravo.

    I’ve only just landed back in oz I. The last hour after a whirlwind trip home and Vietnam for New Years. Hopped online to see the news and immediately checked flights back to England, until the missus had a ‘quiet’ word! 
    Congratulations to us all!! 
    Respect to your energy, and bank balance.
  • Owners need to show their metal now. Relegation beckons.
    Nitty gritty.
  • But we did lose ?
    Yes we did thanks to a deflection, but the performance (against a top six team) wasnt that of a team looking relegated

    Hence why Football isnt as black and white as your claiming
    I give you Derby against 10 men, for 85 minutes.

    BexleyBoy, no honestly, I make him right.

    Blow out the cup game and make the importance of a league game to be the presentation.

    I think he should be allowed back on here.

    Serious amount of work gone into this, scarf, train picture, official site on the monitor and are they protest water bottles?  It’s like a spot the difference.

    I’m guessing the boss isn’t back from Christmas break until Monday and it’s a quiet day in the office.
    Pretty accurate except for the fact I made it 2 years ago and forgot I’d even done it until it popped up on my timehop reminding me!
