    And if it holds true that Addicks is a corruption of 'addocks then it could signal a return to our roots! At least I think there's an octopussibility that's what it could mean.

    What’s fish here? A genuine takeover update:

    http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/charlton/16245778.Charlton_takeover_update__Price__Valley_ownership_and_squad_plans/

    According to NewsShopper:

    - Club expected to be sold for £35m.

    - If it doesn’t happen RD to reluctantly consider appointing senior management staff.

    - RD wanted to lease The Valley but only 3 of the 7 former directors agreed.

    Some idiot put it out there that 'it's happening' this week, and not a squeak has been heard since.

    So obviously it'll happen tomorrow when I'm at the Chelsea Flower Show where no doubt the 4G will be agonisingly slow.

    @Covered End is at a test match. Anyone else anywhere unusual? I'm just fishing here....

    Who the fuck are those 3 directors
    My thinking aswell, obviously promised a cut of the spoils.

    Bought for 20 million.
    Destroyed the club.
    Selling it for 35 million.
    How does that work?

    My guess would be Richard Murray, Maurice Hatter and maybe David Sumner. Think the first two fairly strong odds on. Apologies to David and the other two if I'm wrong.

    I did a rough calculation months ago.
    When you add in the ground & training ground improvements, plus increase in the freehold values and bearing in mind he possibly got Charlton cheapish, it's a bit top heavy, but just about a realistic price.
