    NLA, Doucher and David Smith, any ideas why the British consortium don't just buy the sodding club if they've been there since the start?

    Not a dig, just curious as to why a party would maintain interest for so long and make no attempt to actually ourchase.

    Probably because of RD's ridiculous over valuation.

    The three meals you can eat each day are either breakfast, lunch and dinner, in that order; or breakfast, lunch and supper, in that order.

    Dinner is never served in the middle of the day.

    Yes is a drink not a meal. Although you can have sandwiches, biscuits, cake or bread and jam with tea.

    Fact.

    When I was a kid back in the '60s, the meal in the middle of the day was dinner and the meal at the end of the day was tea. This was propagated at school were you had '[free] school dinner', not '[free] school lunch'. This is still the case now, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie's_School_Dinners

    Or you took a packed lunch. Never a packed dinner.

    Dinner followed by pudding

    If you're working class and from the midlands or north, you may well eat breakfast, dinner and tea, in that order.
    Well that's what I have always eaten but I ain't from the Midlands or oop North. I was born and bred on Coldharbour Estate.
    You must have been the posh one on the Estate.
    I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks. Many years ago on holiday in darkest Cornwall (goran) I was told that I had a 'nothing accent' whilst Mrs TT from posh New Eltham was told by the same person that she was clearly from london. Bloody nothing accent that still narks.

    Dinner ladies, never lunch ladies.

    I took sarnies not a packed lunch.
  • Bringing Australians in isn’t a problem if they’re good enough and suited to the league we’re in (whether they’re a manager/coach/player etc). Players from the network such as Buyens or scouted by them such as JBG were good for the club.

    See there’s one thing I don’t like about the Aussie model and that is that it is too similar to the RD Belgian dream but using Australian links to fulfil our quota of players

    All signs that the Australian consortium do not have the required pool of cash to help us regain a decent foothold in divisions higher than we currently are

    You don’t know what the model is. They’ve already said it’s not going to be an Aussie nursery club.

    Which you accept could just be spin?

    This ex director is briefing him against the Aussies, and he's going along with it without proof. Dont you tbink that's different from me repeating what they say, because there's no third party in between , putting their own spin on it.
    No, I think it's exactly the same, anyone releasing info is only doing it to benefit their own cause.
    NLA's source releasing anti Aussie info with an agenda isn't the same as the Aussies stating their intentions. I'm sorry, it just isn't.
    Anti Aussie agenda? You are really getting paranoid now.

    Like you, NLA is providing us with snippets of information about the sale of the Club, that he is getting first hand. This is from a source that has far more inside knowledge of the Club, it's history and its inner machinations than the proposed purchasers may have.

    Both tell only one side of the story. Both I'm sure are factual, but from different sides of the deal.

    Just accept it and stop knocking everybody else's information which doesn't concur 100% with what you've been told.

    And when the British bidder turns up holding scarfy above his head announincing he's the new owner, we can all look stupid.

    ...and start complaining that Charlton is just going to become a British farm.
  • Back to actual takeover talk rather than the 10 year olds arguing, I think more importantly than someone stumping up a few grand for a tour, someone actually thinks we’re gonna be ready for Welling 2 weeks today and ready for the tour I’m assuming the following week.

    I believe he spends quite a lot of time in this country, so no reason to think not.

    You’ve done this for a while @JamesSeed so I am wondering if you are ok

    Of ffs, why bother, if this is the level of debate.

    I only ask that you don’t post a rumour or an opinion as ‘fact’, especially when you’re tarring the Aussies with the same brush as Roland, without any evidence at all.

    I’m out.
  • Let’s see I said about the Aussie farm £100 to upbeats if in 12 months we have not had an influx of Australian players into the squad and mgmt team after 12 months

    But how do you know it's anti-Aussie stuff info, rather than the truth? His contacts have been more accurate than anyone else's, are you sure it's not that that's annoying you? Clearly something is.
