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.

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.
I repeat the information I have put out is not In no way tarring the Aussies That’s your interpretation
Because I said
No fee agreed Not done deal No money to seal the deal And now that discussions have once again returned to leasing the ground and training ground
Then I give you my personal opinion on it and that really presses your buttons which on an Internet forum is a bit silly but you allow it too so I would seek some for of stress release
my own opinion is that I see the Aussies with a glass half empty view and not one where I will blow their digeridoo just because they wore the scarf and engaged by saying polite platitudes about the fan base

You stand by their spin without any evidence , how is that different.
My response to @grapevines post was a reflection on the respect I pay to the way he posts and puts across his message I don’t have to agree to his thoughts
Your right about one of my sources of info but totally ignore the one with the most info that I get
There’s a main differences to what I post from the oposing fence
it’s been correct every single time where as the info being released by others and the Aussies has not come true once as of yet
Therefore it has more credibility to me than anything else that has been released on here with the exception of the much abused Doucher who if you read what he has posted on the whole has been far more accurate than anything else
And we will be a pool for Aussie football talent in coaching and players I will have a tidy wager on that with you should the Aussies ever reach the bottom of their so deep pockets they can’t find their cash
And remember those that you say are feeding me false info
I posted 24 hrs before the statement and before your text back from your guy
That things were not dead things were being continued the wheels were still spinning underneath
That RD was working on removing the debt in the background
Let’s not forget that the aussies themselves have twice now mentioned that the reason for the delay could be due to final sign off and the complicity of building a financial consortium
In NLA terms that means they ain’t got the dough and I will add the same line I added in October
Currently they may well find it
through to June
All of this in the background of
Imminent Done deal Feb conclusion Staff told it’s a week a way It’s happening
Let’s wait and see I hope they find the cash I hope they buy the club lock stock and barrel because anyone is better than RD imo
But i have reservations about anyone who buys us and there’s no clear proof of finance
We have been there before
I have reservations about people that openly in the initial press info on the AFC are open about bringing the Australian football interests to the UK
As we have been there before but with a Belgian
When you combine the cloudy nature of where and who is in charge of the pennies in the newcconsortium and the fact that we could become an Australian version of the RD player pool game
I think it’s only right that it’s treated with caution
Firstly, afka, I certainly wasn't meaning to be rude, but comments which basically say my friend is lying I felt I should challenge, when they are presented as facts rather than opinion. But i apologise if NLA if I did appear rude. As I've said before, we both want rid of the current owners.
However, to say the Australian model is the same as the Roland model is pretty outrageous, fine in debate, but plainly wrong when you state it as their stated intention. 'The Aussie model' you called it.
You said they were going to let RD keep The Valley and Sparrows Lane. Whoever is briefing you knows the effect that would have on support for the Aussies, so you could at least wonder why they're doing it. But you presented as fact. If there was supposed to be some sort of temporary arrangement while a new investor is approved, then say so, but your late night post made it look like the bottom of the barrel was being scraped, and we were about to get new owners as bad as the last. Unfair.
Saying nothing the Aussies have said has come true, whereas everything you have said has come true, is just silly, and I'm sorry, willy waving. If what your source tells you doesn't come true you'll be able to distance yourself, of course. What they've said can't come true until they've bought the club.
I've been carefully following the principal of releasing all info I have in case I appear 'ITK and I've tried not to express personal opinions about any info they gave me, as I don't know any more than anyone else, and very often less. But I like to see them getting a fair suck at the pineapple (a fine old Aussie expression) in the interest of fairness. Bear in mind that since the beer meeting they've said very little, even to the press, except 'we're still working on it'. Dignified silence maybe.
They called and asked me not to withdraw the bust, because they said it could strain negotiations, but said they were aware that there was a lack of info in the public domain, hence the statement. I don't know how much of their draft was used, but I agree the official statement was a bit disappointing - but at least it showed they hadn't pulled out.
The last message I received was 'don't believe the rumours'.
Withdrawing the bust could strain negotiations.
Htf does that work? Are you involved in the purchase as well?!!!!

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
And what were the people called who dished it out - they weren't 'lunch ladies' were they...?
I think the rumour about the EFL could have legs, as it fits what little evidence we have.
If so, I suppose the critical factor is what happens next. Either:
1. The two wealthy individuals withdraw their funding leaving a huge hole in the financing and a much more modest five year plan (assuming that Team Oz continue with their attempts to buy the club regardless).
2. One or more of said individuals extricate their other football investments from other clubs (which, I'd imagine, might be a complicated process which could take some time...hmmm) and, eventually, channel their funds into CAFC instead.
Now, obviously, scenario 2 would be a much more desirable outcome and please forgive me if I am indulging in wishful thinking, but I would imagine that if it were to happen, then we would start to see the clues fairly imminently. I live in hope.
As ever, we wait.
P.S Can we all agree that we are all Charlton and want what's best for the club? I know everyone's patience is stretched to breaking point, but can we all just hold our nerve for a bit longer and muster up a bit of stoicism? Peace and love, people.
I don't think NLA is peddling anti-Australian propaganda and I appreciate Jimmy Seed passing on the info that he can - there's two sides to every story and that's what we get when we put the two of them together so no reason to fall out.
In amongst the hundreds of pages of terrible puns, rambling stories and false promises I must have missed how @jimmyseed knows the Australian investors, is it related to him being the great managers grandson or is it just a completely coincidental relationship that he has with potential investors in Charlton from the other side of the world?
My money is on J block being awarded the most in the know poster on Charlton Life’s longest thread and as a result being awarded the first double promote in history.
Thanks for the post J Block. I hope you are right and 100% believe you have posted what you heard.
If the issue is that a member or members of the consortium have an interest in other clubs, can’t they simply sell their share in the other clubs to their wives or children (age dependant )
