come on guys Jim White is Scottish, what the fuck does he know about football. 😂
Ask Alex Ferguson.
Or Matt Busby or Jock Stein or Bill Shankly. OK it might be difficult to ask them but I'm sure Kenny Dalglish, George Graham, Graeme Souness or Charlie Nicholas could help.
Jim White is an awful presenter who pretends to be a journalist. His goal in life is to feel important so he attaches himself to every new story. He gets fed info from his scummy mates and can't be bothered to fact check any of it.
Hopefully Thomas tells him to do one in the future and provides information to the fanbase some other way.
Speaking about the EFL 'They probably assumed I will just handle it, they shouldn't even need to be involved'.
On the case 'There's not really anything to fight here... At least in terms of anything we need to do from a legal perspective, If they continue to push on this issue here, it won't be dealt with publicly, we'll take care of it quietly'.
Simon Jordan in middle age is a wiser and poorer man than the flash arrogant orange toss pot man of his 20's and 30's.
He has always understood Cafc plight since the early days of Duchatelet. He had no reason to stick up for Charlton fans as many had call him all the names under the sun. Richard Murray and Jordan had many a row.
No brown nosing for SJ from me but he has been consistent in his understanding of the situation where as Jim White is a poor Journalist.
I've asked Farnell why they don't go on Talksport and give their version of events. I'll let you know if he removes his head from his arse for long enough to respond
In a world full of Jim White’s, thank god for Simon Jordan.
Very interested in the libellous claim that Sandgaard hasn’t put any money in and is funding the club with player sales. We’ll see if there’s a lawsuit for that.
Is it libellous or inaccurate ?
We’ve had fairly big windfalls from the Bonne sale + the Grant sell on and the salary cap reduces the ability to spend so it might be that Sandgaard hasn’t actually needed to invest funds yet. No issues with that from my perspective.
I’d say libellous, unless TS is lying about us being days away from administration before the deal was done, he must have pumped some money in.
He also had money in escrow before the takeover was completed, so it’s a pretty safe bet that at least £1 of this has been used for general maintenance/ those new lawnmowers he’s purchased. Not to mention shipping costs of the Zynex medical devices
Yes we’ve had income from player sales but it’s not even a half truth to assert that Sandgaard hasn’t put any money in and is relying on the clubs cash.
Right but I don’t think that relying on the clubs cash is a negative thing. A club living off of its own means is a sustainable model, that’s exactly what I want.
What is nonsense is for any of the parties who have recently been involved to try and suggest that they would have had a better operating model for us, they wouldn’t.
Definitely not a negative thing, it’s a sustainable business model and I’m all for it - it’s just not exactly true.
The libel comes in because Farnell is using the biggest sports station around to spin that Thomas Sandgaard hasn’t put any money in and is using player sales to keep the club afloat. That’s defamation of character and could impact the club’s or Sandgaard’s future business.
I repeat.....I am not altogether 100% certain that White meant to say Sandgaard when referring to not having put any money in.....I think maybe he meant to say Elliott. Might be wrong, but the moment he said it I immediately thought he’s got the names mixed up. Anyone else think the same?
All this talk about whether TS has put any money in, what about the £1m tax bill we were told he paid, beside all the other money that has been paid out, I am sure all this did not come from transfer money
Jim White is a sensationalist reporter. He is good at that, but it is the lowest of the low in terms of the profession. Talk Sport is a channel that, on the whole, tries to be controversial to gain listeners. The problem is, it seems pretty obvious they are saying things half the time just to be controversial rather than expressing a genuinely held view. They are then trying to manipulate listeners.
The bottom line is this. Try and find a Charlton fan who is anti Sandgaard. When you give up on that, try to find one who is pro Elliot(t) or Farnell. There is nothing to expose in relation to Sandgaard, he is a respectable and successful businessman who may have saved the club from extinction. An extinction made possible by the likes of Roland, Nimer, Southall, Elliot(t) and Farnell. We all know who the good guy is here.
When will Jim Shite wake up and realise that Farnell & Co are feeding him shit
That's not Talksport's agenda though.
Talksport are a commercial radio station and their mission is to create revenue by selling advertising.
To sell more advertising, they need to get more listeners. One way to get more listeners is to create drama, conflict and sensationalise interviews.
It's not about impartial reporting. It's about getting interviewees to rise to the bait and generate that sense of drama.
We shouldn't be wasting our time listening to the likes of Jim White and Talkshite radio. Remember, their only mission is to sell more advertising.
Very well put. Jim White is sensationalising to get more listeners - if he stirs things up a bit - then more will listen. It's no different to papers like the Sun and the Mail with garish, misleading headlines - just to sell the paper. They lie, exaggerate, over dramatise - anything to get you to buy! Jim is probably measured on listener numbers. SJ isn't.
The Grant and Bonne money is immaterial tbh. I think sell ons and transfers are paid over the length of the players contract, so grant (6yrs) and bonne (4yrs) ain't gonna make a massive difference in the short term. Think I read TS say that both were very welcome though, as we are obviously facing losses again this year
Just to be clear, the Elliott side has been pushing the line TS hasn’t put any money in for weeks. It may or may not be true net of transfer fees and other income, but it is irrelevant because he has taken on the liabilities and unlike ESI has the wherewithal to meet them. I don’t see that it’s defamatory, personally, it’s just beside the point, unless you think TS isn’t good for the bills when they fall due.

Absolutely this. He’s trying to shit stir, sensationalize and bring his brand of Daily Mailesque manure journalism into the picture. Just listen to the way he emphasizes certain responses. Sandgaard is cool, calm and collected in his response about Farnell, Elliott etc, and then White’s voice jumps several notes on the scale when he says ‘are you saying Charlton fans have nothing to worry about?’. It’s as if he hopes to one day go back and use it, were anything to come of Elliot’s challenge.
In the same way there is a campaign not to buy the Sun, there should be a campaign to get this guy out of football journalism. He’s the sort of bloke that would probably turn up at Bury to get his photo taken with that Steve Dale, the day they went out of business, in the same way some idiots film the aftermath of car crashes

He'd need to go home and change out of his funeral suit first

Trust lawyers to take two lines where two words would have sufficed.
Hopefully Thomas tells him to do one in the future and provides information to the fanbase some other way.
Fair play to Simon Jordan though.

This'll be the Danish Mafia then!
The "football opera called Charlton."
He has always understood Cafc plight since the early days of Duchatelet. He had no reason to stick up for Charlton fans as many had call him all the names under the sun. Richard Murray and Jordan had many a row.

Guys full of shit and shouldn't be anywhere near the radio or telly for that matter.

Just listening to this now. Jim White is such a low rent bellend - almost trying to bait Thomas into biting or saying something controversial.
Simon Jordan talking total sense (again).
Thomas as eloquent and calm as ever.
