Andrew obviously still has us on his mind though as in his tweet yesterday. Really hoping he gets involved at some stage. Think atm TS is loving all the adulation & not sure he wants to share it yet! 🤔
I’ve no idea what Mr Barclay is up to, has he been spurned by TS re investment, ie not offered to put in as much as Thomas was looking for?
Is it all a game of bluff, Wiltshire is not even a player that would be needed @ Charlton?
If he was for real then I’d question his judgement and decision making and think he’d waste / burn through cash pretty darn quickly, on players that aren’t needed / just aren’t very good.
I wonder how some people get out of bed every morning with all these scary social media messages to the left or right or up and down or even perpendicular to the lamp post down the street.
TS has done plenty of dosh trying to make a go of this season what more do we expect?
And how is the separation of an asset from the business an obstacle right now? Is this not normal, companies sell and lease back there assets all the time.
I don't agree with Dodgers comment, but I do agree with Barclay's comment The biggest obstacle for CAFC is stadium ownership, certainly in the long term. I think TS will see our return in the next 3 years to the Championship (sooner I hope though).

Maybe Dodger expected more involvement/engagement with TS - he seemed to position it that way leading up to the takeover.
Just wondering what Dodger's suggestions would be for a different type of owner. One with a big bag of magic beans perhaps to take over what was a debt ridden, basket case league 1 club that was in the process of being asset stripped by the previous owners.
Thomas Sandgaard saved CAFC. I have no doubt about that. Without his tenacious pursuit of purchase I think it was highly likely that administration and god knows what else were very close indeed. Now it’s perhaps a pity that TS isn’t as rich as Elon Musk and can’t throw gazillions of £££££££’s at Charlton but he only has as much money as he has. No more, no less. In football terms he’s not rich at all. It is what it is. Yes I want promotion and I want it now but we can’t always have what we want when we want it. Steady progress will suffice for now. I have no doubt that slow build over three or four seasons will produce the goods. In the meantime I’m still overwhelmingly grateful for TS being our very good owner and doing his best.

I think Barclay's comment is valid though we knew that at the time of the purchase by TS. Not really sure what Dodger's problem is.
I think we all knew that it was going to be virtually impossible for any sane businessman to purchase the club and land in the time scales needed to prevent administration and worse for CAFC. That’s down to one man and it ain’t Thomas Sandgaard. Yes it’s a problem and I think it’s going to be tough for TS going forward to attract further investment but that said we’re still a football club and still in business. We might well need to get our heads around the club not owning The Valley and Sparrows for a very long time. Duchatelet has always had an unrealistic valuation of the land and if anything I suspect his valuation is going up not down.

Bet Steve Gallens had a chuckle over this one.
He's a dyed in the wool Tory. Huge capitalist and supports Chelsea.
Strangely, his living room looks no bigger than mine. Not sure he was going to be the driving force money man?
PS I did tell the poster the info was public but they said they don't post on here anymore?????????
Precious init?

I haven't had a season ticket since the 90's, but will be buying three next year...I'll be happy to wipe out Dodger's deficit.
