Dear addick1956, this thread is supposed to be about Charlton transfer rumours.addick1956 said:
I agree but the point of a forum is discussion and debate.MuttleyCAFC said:
But it is irrelevant if it is too late or not as we won't impact on it being good nor bad. We just have to let them get on with it and as Elfsborg suggests, see how it ends up.addick1956 said:
Opinions are formed by changing events, not when it is too late. 😀ElfsborgAddick said:Wait until the transfer window finishes then form an opinion.
The trouble is since brexit divided the nation every topic of debate becomes a remoaners v wreckiter shouting match and sides seem to get drawn up.
We now have Anti Social Media. Shame really .
I would have thought it impossible to introduce Brexit/politics from absolutely nowhere.
Please try and understand this.
If you wish to discuss politics (obviously you do), click on Groups on the left hand side, then click on House of Commoners and talk about politics 24/7 if desired.
The rest of us can avoid it on this main forum.16 -
Typical Charlton. Almost untouched by COVID in the height of the pandemic. Now everyone is vaccinated and supposed to be largely protected we get an outbreak in the squad!
Charlton, finding new and unusually ways to fuck it up since 1905.5 -
Agreed. Don’t let the bastards grind you down Golfie 👍MuttleyCAFC said:I think Golfie is getting the brunt of it. I say lay off him. Disagree with him all you want, but don't make it personal.4 -
Airman brown hinted at something similar last week on the kit thread.LargeAddick said:I want to know what Addicks59 has heard that he wants to know if anyone else has heard so that I can then tell him whether or not I have heard it and whether I have heard what he has heard or whether what I have heard is not the same as he has heard.
Nothing too exciting or fresh this season, bigger deal season after next but depends on being in a higher division, AB said IIRC.
I do think people are misconstruing when Mumford said "partner" to mean share holding investor rather than a shirt sponsor who also works the community trust etc.
But Swisdom also hinted that the new kit could be out soon and he was close to that last season.
But as ever when it's on the OS
And WIOTOS goes for what @Covered_End_Lad said.
Really hope the positive info he's getting is accurate but we'll all have to wait and see if it works out as TS, SG, GR and NAc pla.
That's what realists like me do 🖖

Great idea.ElfsborgAddick said:I think @golfaddick and @SoundAsa£ should have a nice meal together and be friends again.It's too hot for all this bickering.
And as you suggested it you can pay the bill.0 -
Goodness me to do ever get bored of doing the WIOTOS… it’s so boring, you don’t have to repeat on every post until the end of time … your not a comedian with a catchphrase 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️4

I agree with you 100%.oohaahmortimer said:
I also made a point a while back about posters treading on my toes regarding percentages but oh no that doesn’t apply to you ffsAFKABartram said:
I think this is the third in as many weeks I’ve requested this. Clearly no one reads it, or if they do then they just simply don’t give a shit.
STOP POSTING PERENTAGES ABOUT OTHER POSTERS.
60% of the posts yesterday were completely unnecessary. 90%+ were nothing to do with rumours.
once again I request everyone to back off I have ©️on CL %ages
as of right now I’m 100% pissed off3 -

Nah, realists like WIOTOS so I'll carry on using it until, well, until it's on the OS5 -
Ive also heard we have a foward / winger very close should be confirmed early next week. Its a name that im sure has been mentioned in despatches before, the person who told me dose not work for the club anymore but claims that one that has told him still does. So im guessing its the same bloke as others have been told.23

Not sure that one is true. I am certain (not ITK) we have a sponsor sorted and kit release planned... Our kit releases have been around mid July for many seasons bar last, which was sept.J BLOCK said:
If by partner you mean sponsor, then yes, heard it a couple of weeks ago. Hence no kit launch.Addicks59 said:Anybody heard this rumour the new partner that Thomas was in discussions with has pulled out if true it is a massive loss.
I do believe we lost a sponsor though.0 -
Nothing to do with shirt sponsor it is a partner that has pulled out I have been told and by all accounts there are a few people in the club that are disillusioned.6

Disillusioned?!? Why? From the outside the club seems to be in the best place it has been for years and years..0 -
More importantly why are they disillusioned?Covered End said:

Again I find this hard to believe only because TS has stated a number of times he was going alone until at least we got back in the championship .. why would anyone in the club be disillusioned blimey after what they been through over the years !!!!Jac_52 said:Addicks59 said:Nothing to do with shirt sponsor it is a partner that has pulled out I have been told and by all accounts there are a few people in the club that are disillusioned.

Would imagine a lot of companies are pulling back from sponsorship given the last 18 months especially if they have furloughed staff it would not look goodDazzler21 said:

AddickUpNorth said:It’s a shame more clubs don’t take a harder line against making agents richer. They’ve been sucking money out of the game by doing very little for far too long.
In all US sports the PLAYERS pay the agents and all they get is 5% of contracts and 10% of endorsements. How hard is that? Football owners in Europe have no balls. They could fix this in one afternoon if they tried.

Exactly, the agent works for the player - why should the club pay him anything.NapaAddick said:AddickUpNorth said:It’s a shame more clubs don’t take a harder line against making agents richer. They’ve been sucking money out of the game by doing very little for far too long.

One country (bar Canada), much more centralised control, commissioners, franchises
While what you suggest would be great you'd have to get agreement across multiple leagues (three just in the UK) plus every other country.
Also, the system suits richer clubs, they don't want a more level playing field so they won't agree it
As we've seen, in the UK the clubs, not the leagues, have the power.
Even the rules as they exist now are widely ignored because owners and managers want the players and will pay agents to get them

Can you explain why there are people in the club apparently disillusioned?3 -
I'm not even an avid poster on here, but I know you got Mullin and Tucker wrong for starters so that 4/5 is coming from thin air.Addicks59 said:In answer to your question I got 4 out of the 5 I mentioned correct how did you do zilch have a pop at someone else or do not comment on my post.All my comments have been double checked before I put anything out in the public domain if you do not believe me that is your problem.When I came onto this site I under the impression it was a rumours thread have I learnt if it isn't my spelling it is questions about what I have written I am in a very lucky position I know a lot of people very close to the club.
