    Didn't know Nimer is Syrian.

    How is he "His Excellency" if not from the UAE.
    Not convinced he is Syrian, was sure he was born in the UAE but can’t find proof. 
     on the bio given at take over he was born in the UEA (see what I did there) but on companies house he has a slightly different name and is Syrian.

    So is it the same person and if so why the discrepancy?  If not, who is the other person?

    Not starting a conspiracy theory, just wondering.
  • All this complaining saying ESI are all talk, no action. 
     
    Roland was no talk, but action bringing in players like Parzyszek, Thuram and Koc. 

    Id rather ESI keep talking and also be smart about new signings, than bring in mediocre, borderline amateur footballers into our squad. 
    There is a massive difference in ESI coming in and signing the proven English league players than a bunch of unknowns. Not one player we have been seriously linked with is an amateur and I believe there lies the problem.

    I would rather they concentrate on the most important thing first. Less talking, more helping out the bloke who got us out of that league

    I am sure bringing in expert medical advice can only be a good thing but I didn’t know UAE was a centre of excellence for sports medicine and in particular football injuries.
    Indeed, and waiting 3 weeks to send in the UAE medics hasn't cured anybody either

    And hard to believe you can find better general expertise there than say Harley Street anyway

    Yes.  You got UAE wrong. 
    Whooosh

    Why does it matter whether he's Syrian?
    It doesn’t matter. It’s just normal for people to want to know more about someone. The first thing mentioned about nearly every person on a Wikipedia profile is when and where they were born. There’s nothing malicious about wanting to know what nationality someone is.
    I am not suggesting there's anything malicious. I was interested to know whether it's in any way relevant: but, thank you, it's obviously not.

    Well if your daughter was marrying a Scottish bloke called Richard Johnstone and after they married it turned out his real name was Richard O’Neill and was born in Ireland, you’d be a bit intrigued to understand more, wouldn’t you?
    Do you see CAFC as your unmarried daughter?  You ok hun?

    ;)

    Yes, maybe.  But I wanted to know why - or whether - it mattered.  For example, are there any reasons why a Syrian person might be restricted from doing business here, that someone from the UAE isn't; or are there trade embargoes that he's evaded by switching nationality? There are hundreds of Syrian people and dozens of Syrian organisations that are subject to financial sanctions by the UK Government. 

    I asked whether it mattered, because I don't know.  @ValleyGary has confirmed it doesn't.

    This is such a weird quiet Brexity discussion. 
    Why?

    Technology? Race? Ownership? 
  • Never mind a 5 year plan, what’s the next 5 month plan? 
    Absolutely.

    I hope they know.
  • Mate is the new in thing.Anything "weird" to The Woke has to be linked to Brexit.

    This is Charlton Life we’re taking about.... what’s the next 5 minute plan?!?
  • Never mind a 5 year plan, what’s the next 5 month plan? 
    Agree.
    Because if the next two weeks goes badly ?
    The 4 and a half year plan is how do we get back to the Championship.

    He’s a closet WestHam fan
  • So are you saying that the sponge and the cold bucket of water plus the magic Spray is now dated?

    This can only be good news.

    Medical team were hoping for an increase in budget when we got promoted, we all know that didn’t happen. You wouldn’t believe what they have to work with in comparison to other clubs in this league. It’s miles apart. Therefore, advancements in technology and further specialists to come in and assess the players is great news. They can run tests on them which we never would’ve been able to do before, and add that to the training ground development where I am sure they will make the medical and sports science department up to a very high standard. All of this can only be a good thing and positive for us moving forward.

    We need to find ways of developing our rehabilitation, recovery, strength, and conditioning. That’s not to say the people doing that now aren’t good enough, because they are. It’s to say the way football and sport in general is moving, it’s developing so fast that quite frankly, we have been left behind for a very long time. It’s been this way since before Roland was here and of course, all throughout it. That’s a lot to develop.

    We do need new players now but that’s extremely short-sighted. On the bigger picture of our club and the departments that run constantly through it, the development of medicine and sports science through extra specialist from the private clinics in UAE, advancements in technologies, and bringing ourselves to the front of development in this area is a huge step forward. I, for one, am very pleased to read this news today.
    Would there also a problem regarding not doing sufficient DD with medicals?  Due to equipment/budgets are we still "cupping balls and getting them to caugh"?

    Or in the same vain signing players off as "fit to return" when they actually aren't?

    So true step  1 of the 5 year plan will be getting out of league 1.
