He called you a troll for daring to ask about Muir...… twice!
I think he was talking about Stu of Kunming........not me.....least I hope so!
Certainly wasn't you sir! Stu has a go at me at every opportunity for some reason best known to himself.
No, i dont, disagreeing with what you post is not having a go, you senile old goat.
Anyway. When I have time I'll reply to the offensive PM you have sent me at 1am.
That’s quite wrong sending PMs to people that are offensive at any time of the morning
All because I'm not convinced the aussies are our saviours, I then get accussed to following some bloke I've never heard of, on a forum I've never visited, it's beyond weird.
It's not my fault nothing he's said on this thread has come true, although I've never blamed that on him, I really think he posted what he did in good faith, saldy its looking more and more likely the Aussies found a willing idiot to get their story across, maybe they should focus a little more on getting their own house on order.
as their own website stated, they've been trying to raise funds for 16 months, that is a long, long time.
Anyway I'm not getting involved with him anymore, I really think the bloke is wired up wrong he loses his shit as soon as anyone doesn't fall in line with what he's saying. Everyone is being fed spin and lies, apart from him, of course, no way would his contacts say anything that wasn't 100% true. Delusional.
Can’t disagree with anything there mate
But the information that they have been searching for funding for 16months is a shocker I never knew that if they haven’t found it in that long it’s going to be a tough ask to find one or two before the season starts
Discussions about their lack of funding have happened from page 1 of this very thread, April 2017, so 14 months, my mistake.
Yet apparently believing that it might actually be true makes you a troll / stupid.
So, the consortium didn't have the required funds then, by James' own admission they don't have the funds now, when did they have the funds?
The funds were most likely in place when the EFL submission was made and Muir appeared with the scarf. When the EFL rejected 2 of the consortium members (the rumour goes) they became short of the required amount.
I hope everyone is in good health and that we enjoy a good England performance and 3 points.
1000 pages is perverse, just like Roland Duchatelet who since day 1 bought the wrong club and with the example of Standard Liege, it could only end in tears.
Charlton Life is a multifaceted site with so many different topics and interests but the internecine war that broke out on this thread had so many low blows, that Willy waving turned into swollen testicles.
One day we will laugh about this thread (20 years time !) and the truth, the whole truth can be documented and the timeline of events can be stored in the museum.
The most important thing is that CAFC have a viable future under a progressive management.
I may have missed it (there has been a lot of posts saying very little to try and filter) but I saw a suggestion there is to be a pre season training event in Spain and Welling game therefore to be moved.
My questions are - if anyone knows the answers:
1. Has LB now persuaded RD to fund this? 2. Have the Aussies funded this? - not sure they would but maybe 3. Have some other club benefactors sorted this?
Just curious.
Really wasn’t sure where to post this as this thread seems to be the only game in town now.
If anyone knows the answers might it point to some indication of the takeover outcome?
Logs on, reads through 15 new pages, sees that nothing has really happened apart from @JamesSeed about to lose the plot, and @Henry Irving is sitting by his laptop typing with one hand and with his knob in the other hand counting down the pages.
I spoke with Gerard Murphy around about this time last year. He contacted me after I emailed henslow and just showed some interest At no point did I state I was a Charlton fan and at no point did he state that Charlton were the club they were looking at. I think he thought I was going to or interested in investing, so I sort of played along to a point.
Much of the stuff he told me was pie in the sky sort of stuff to my mind but I won't go into that. He did state that there were differing levels of investment opportunities and I think the lower level was around £3-5 mill. So you can see how there might be many comings and goings as things drag on. I'm not sure how far they've gone in making the investment opportunity visible to those Charlton supporters with that kind of Capital? I'm sure there are a few around that might be interested. The silence around this whole deal suggests they haven't. But who better to own a chunk of this great club than one of our own. Or are they trying to keep this Aussie inclusive? Saying that, I didn't put on my terrible Australian accent so maybe not. Who knows,but they need to pull their bloody finger out.
Can anyone recall from where the rumour came that the EFL had "rejected two investors" in the Aussie consortium, and why the source for it can be considered authoritative?. I ask because understanding the true status of he EFL in respect of any bids would greatly help our understanding. The Supporters Trust is trying to get info on this. One Trust member has info on the EFL considerations which completely contradicts the rumour. He has checked it twice.
The EFL doesn't want to talk about such things. It apparently was upset that status of the Sunderland bid was leaked. And it basically acts as a trade association so does not consider itself answerable to fans. However it also feels under pressure from fans and the media, thanks in no small measure to pressure from Blackpool fans. If we are going to build in that, it would be good to know what is authoritative, and what just unsourced chat, before approaching them.
So for this reason ( and not to fuel an increasingly destructive argument on here) it would be great if someone can pinpoint where that came from ( -and when)
If, as I've suspected all along, the Aussies are funding this with some sort of crowd funding / timeshare (give us £3 miilion and we'll chuck in a free season ticket) type of carry on, they can fuck off with RD
All this BS about getting in Aussie talent etc etc, it ain't nothing new ffs, big big British clubs have had scouts and links to academies in Australia for fuckin years.
Why can't we have an unconditional owner who is there for the right reasons ffs
I still maintain that the consortium has the funds between them, but have budgeted future expenditure and know getting us to where we want to go isn't going to be cheap. So the members must be reluctant to up their personal initial outlay, as they understand what future costs await them. They did DD and seem same unlike RD.
It is worrying that they are still hunting an investor, but we are Charlton and whilst being the next Man City would be fun it wouldn't be the club I grew to love. I am happy with owners that care, that get what the club is all about and actually want success on the pitch, that would be an improvement on the current bloke anyway.
If there's truth in the Directors being pressured on their loans and tainted with causing the takeover to fail, I would hope every single one of us, irrespective of positions on Aussies etc, absolutely laugh that off. It's disgusting that Duchatelet might be anywhere near to cutting the losses he deserves for ruining this football club and giving us the pain and heartache he has over four years. Some people have very short memories. To still be attempting to get much more than the club's worth by leveraging £7m of loan money the club has relied upon in the past to keep going and from men significantly less able to give it than him, is even more sickening. I really hope that those who are owed relatively modest sums hold fast and leave it to the billionaire or the AFL to sort it out. If that means they have to engineer a deal that leaves Duchatelet as landlord, then so be it, even if the Aussies know that will cost them more in the long-run (including fans goodwill). Similarly, if they walk, then so be it - they didn't have the wherewithal to do it. Personally, I am not even thinking about returning if Roland Duchatelet even owns a burger stand post any sale.

My thoughts as well mate, particularly after the PM he sent me.
Apparantly some geezer has his hand up my backside then I start talking.
