It’s an interesting read I give it that. One or two tweets have disappeared and rightly so when it was predicting a couple of more named off pitch staff possibly leaving the building.
Not blaming his wife for it but the person who sanctioned the purchase of Aneke wasted a lot of the owner's money. A decent football man may have prevented that decision which looked very odd at the time.
Sandgaard is showing he hasn't got money to throw about and risk so why did he last season?
So is the Valley getting a sponsor, or is this something someone has gone off on a tangent about?
You might very well think that in true Charlton Life fashion some idle and entirely baseless speculation has somehow created several pages of waffle... But I couldn't possibly comment.
Not sure why it’s not a legitimate topic for discussion in the week we played at something called the Poundland Stadium. I suspect nobody would pay enough for it to happen though.
We played at the WHAM stadium on the first day; we played at sponsored grounds through pre season and last season. It’s the equivalent of a phone in presenter doing an hour on parking tickets, gets the phones ringing, doesn’t really change the world
Not sure you understand the function of this board. Very little said on here is going to “change the world” so I’m not sure what point you are making.
I commented because the repeated assertion that it can’t happen because RD owns the ground is nonsense in my opinion. It hasn’t happened because no one wants to pay enough to interest the club. So it’s a hypothetical discussion, like much else on here (see also transfer gossip). But the substantive point is that it’s an option open to the club’s owner and not the landlord.
Ah cheers for the education, in such a supercilious way
Says the bloke who sneers at other posters for their views on a regular basis. Right.
Would we be allowed to re name the stadium the ‘Don’t Vote Tory Ever Valley’?
I won't pass comment on the sensibility or otherwise of this hypothetical, although I know many, not all, will agree with the sentiment, but as far as it's legality goes, I attach an article leading to a firm of Solicitors who might know the answer should you wish to find out as they attach an enquiry form.

Thanks for this. Doesn’t look like there would be anything to stop the stadium being named the ‘Don’t Vote Tory Ever Valley’. If the ‘morality’ of such a name (or a name such as ‘Don’t Vote Labour Ever’) is questioned, the answer would be to debate the morality of naming stadiums after gambling companies.

No. As you well know, - you'll remember the issue with poppies - FIFA/UEFA bans this kind of stuff. No political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images are permitted.
Of course that begs the question as to how football clubs are allowed to continue to use the rainbow laces idea to support LBGTQ+ inclusion, why players can "take the knee" or why mangers, etc can wear badges in Ukraine national flag colours. While the vast majority of people would go along with these indications of support, it seems to me that they are clearly a breach of the FIFA laws, being overtly political.

It did get me thinking that as Roland owned St. Truiden in Belgium and is/was a political figure himself there, I'm unsure how he used his ownership of that Club to promote his political ideals, if he did at all, or was even allowed to there that is. I don't think it was through Stadium Sponsorship though.
Edit. @cafcfan's reply above appears to answer the question.
Billy Smarts, Cirque de Soleil and the Moscow State circuses gone into voluntary liquidation stating " We just can't compete with Charlton Athletic Football Club any longer".
Agreed if these are genuine it is no doubt worrying.
Plus the ongoing silence on the Olly front is deafening. I'm sure there are things going on behind the scenes.
At the end of the day if any workplace is staffed by people that are either in fear or disgruntled then that doesnt bode well. The bit I dont get is that other staff knew but were told to keep things quiet, that imo is very unlikely as the chance of someone not passing that info on is next to nothing
Not necessarily relevant to Og’s case but I know of former staff that won’t speak publicly because of fears to their new employment.
So fears that current staff may have have are justified, especially with the ears and eyes on the ground reporting back. The ownership response to staff leaving as “We may not come across as sensitive but we get the job done” is hardly encouraging. We being “him and burger boy” And as I said before, don’t be distracted by the smile and the short skirt.

This account is followed by OG. If that’s not a an endorsement, I don’t know what is

I can't see that being the case which means (i know next to nought on employment law btw) this redundancy is not lawful.
Also i'm surprised that these tweets arnt causing more of a stir.
