    Tomorrow is Holy Thursday... in biblical terms it means roughly:

    Holy Thursday Is the Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ (Roland?) with the Apostles {Charlton fans} as described in the gospels.

    I believe!!

    The original tweet was directed to both RC and AB by an @AB_cafc (not Airman Brown). RC is just including AB in the reply, not replying to him.

    One guy who knows about turning things around and another who you’d expect to have a significant amount of cash.
    Hopefully there’s some shrewd investors to add to that

    Any recommendations for playing the Judas character?

    Can’t be doing with Duchatelet as Jesus.

    Jesus Christ. On the fourth day he arose again in accordance with the scriptures?

    God give me strength.

    In which case, I apologise unreservedly to AB.

    Payday at Charlton tomorrow.

    I’ve been saying for ages, the end of the month/his last financial liabilities will be significant

    Utterly crazy that this "Kewell quitting within 48 hours and said good bye to his players" fairy tale has spread so quickly from that known fake journo on twitter. Kent Live get hold of it and publish a story off the back of it, next thing you know it's in the mainstream media in Australia.

    Complete nonsense!

    You forgot the bit about Mary Magdalene and her cleanings of JC wounds with mixture of vinager.

    Payday at Charlton tomorrow.

    Apart from the players is there anyone left to pay?
    Maybe @Airman Brown is referring to a different sort of Payday. One where RD receives money...

    Let's hope it's Duchatalet.

    Holy Week the most important week of the year

    On psalm Sunday the story of the big JC being betrayed and then killed always moving

    And now the rising from the dead May be quite the prophetic response to RD story

    Payday at Charlton tomorrow.

    The Queen's popping in and paying everyone with maundy money. (Just read that back to myself and I'd typed the "The Queen's pooping in..." which would have been a whole different thing entirely.)

    @cabbles I just don't see a 'successful' business man with a massive ego who doesn't do failure going down an Administration route at the considerable cost of paying an Insolvency Practitioner. Why would he risk a fire sale of his business (CAFC) if he can do better selling it as a going concern and playing hardball on a sale price which he is doing now apparently. By not paying the wages would be the act of a madman mugging himself off and as much as I detest him, I don't think he is quite that. He might have a nasty streak in him but when it comes to losing even more money, the financial considerations and saving face, will win over seeking revenge.

    It's a waiting game, every day we are closer to being rid of his evil clutches and patience is a virtue :wink: .

    I think the only sign we will have is that this site will crash and all of us will be left stressing and unable to add our incisive wit.

    Who's picking up the bill I wonder?
    I’ve often wondered this, but I’m guessing RD is totally within his right to pull his money and if so we’d pretty much hit administration right away. The only thing you can begrudgingly say that he has done, is keep paying everyone’s wages to ensure we haven’t gone into administration (yet). Am I right in thinking Cash pulled his money under the previous regime and that’s why we were about to go into administration back in 2013?

    What stops an owner doing this? Is it that the club can then be sold from underneath him and he has zero chance of recovering all the debt he’s ploughed in? If it’s a bit of a stupid question forgive my ignorance, I’m just trying to work out why he hasn’t gone down the route the Orient bloke took a while back when he stopped paying the players etc
    The effect of administration would be to prioritise the £7m owed to the former directors and wipe out debt owed to Duchatelet (and trade creditors). Buyers would then pick the club up cheaper than in any sale from him. Even RD isn’t that mad.

    Why?? Harry will know little about our squad. Leave Bowyer in charge until the end of the season & consider Kewell in the summer when he will have time to get to know our players & therefore the chance to succeed.

    It’s nothing that we don’t already know. The whole article just appears to have been recycled from snippets taken from various sources. #MoveOn #NothingToSee
