    Finally tracked down ABC. No documents lodged since Aug 2017. How does that sync with reports that an investor failed FPP? Even if an Everton/Toon director watered down his investment it would need documenting here. Unless he has sold UK football shares. Anyone got a window into this?
  • Colin just can’t bear the thought that someone else may have a better handle or take on what’s going on than him.
    Seeing him wriggle is highly entertaining, he’s beside himself with rage!

    It also doesn’t fit his view that everything is ok and better days are just around the corner.

    Peeters was the best manager since Curbs remember.

    We’ve always been unlucky with injuries, there’s nothing anyone could have done to avoid the same injury crisis we’ve had every year under RDs ownership.

    The takeover is always going well and never far away from completion.

    Even more curious this EPL approval. Directors of AFC from the incorporation to now are Dirk Scott (I assume Muir's accountant) Peter McBain and Bruce McFarlane. None have any Google profile but could have been doctored as Meire did.

    Welcome to the club guys, although I assume you are front men and won't actually turn up at the Valley.

    But it does beg the question as to how they fell foul of FPP?

    Isn't the bite sized threat supposed to stay stickied for a little bit so people get a chance to spot it/read it?

    To be honest I didn’t think to sticky it.....and thanks for bringing it to AFKA’s attention. I’m hanging on by a thread here, really needed you questioning my modding capabilities :wink:

    Peter McBain and Bruce McFarlane, pretty sure we’ve got ourselves some superhero alter-egos right damn there. They don’t fool me, I wonder what their super powers are and when they will reveal them? I worry that if they can’t fix pot holes with their super-cement-eyes or increase the chip count using a laser beam emitting from the front of their helmet then there’s still gonna be a dwindling pool of unhappy punters in SE7 :unamused:

    An Interesting link @harveys_gardener - lots of info available - but at a cost. Did you buy some of the downloads to get the names?

  • All this 'in the know' stuff is utter bollocks. Nobody on here has got a bloody clue, just like the rest of us!

    What’s worse ignorance or indifference? I don’t know and I don’t care.
    I don’t know why you bother.
  • How do I post a linky thing?

    I have a pdf. on my phone. No idea how to get it here.

    When I tried, I got

    We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later.




    And now it has gone, weird and mysterious, just like the takeover :smiley:
  • Found a peter mcbain from aus who was director of a construction company. However it went into administration last year and has since disappeared. Bit worrying

    Is it worth pointing out that 'Colin' is French for 'hake'?



    Very much so, and the Finns say ‘kummeliturska’.

    Dirk Scott’s going to feel a bit left out if that’s the case.
  • He must be the love interest that can’t see past the cunning disguises, eyeglasses on both of them and I think one changes his parting from right to left.
    It’s so obvious you wouldn’t believe it
  • @Ross think I’m working too hard..

    There is a Bruce MACFARLANE who is COO of a Victoria based fx company, AquireFX. No idea if the same person
  • Is it an Australian takeover or a Scottish one? Is this how RD justified the British bid, based on surnames?

    Did you have mushrooms with your omelette tonight?

  • Happy birthday, Gezza (18th, so a bit late for Oz time ....)
  • Good work HG.

    And good spot.. GHF. Happy birthday Gerard.

    We’ve got some ocker Aussies on board.

    Sounds like the same bloke Afka.

    If I am correct, Peter McBain was Managing Director of a Civil Construction / Mining contractor called Brierty, resigning in 2016 following what looks like a disastrous road upgrade project which made a $15m loss, shortly before it went into admin.

    He previously had a number of years experience as a General Manager - Project Development in the mining / infrastructure sector

    50% of 928 respondents said they were likely to buy a season ticket if there was a change of ownership

    https://castrust.org/2018/05/season-ticket-and-attitudes-survey-results/

    Yes I looked up the survey after I posted my question. Very useful.
    If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?

    There are remarkable similarities.

    In 1086, Charlton had 13 villagers and two slaves. Today 13 players, and Bowyer and Jackson.

    The tenant-in-chief was Bishop Odo. Now it's Roland Odd. Bishop Odo of Bayeux never visited either.

    The Lord of the Manor was William, son of Oger. Now it's Tony Ogre.

    Back then Charlton was worth £7. Now it's feck all.

    BTW, it's a bit weird that William, son of Oger held only three properties, Footscray, our Charlton and another Charlton down near Dover.

    That site is really cool, thanks for sharing (the slaves thing is a bit grim though!).
    Right, I'm glad someone else noticed how interesting that is!

    From a friend who works closely with the club:

    Delay in takeover caused by one of Andrew Muirs investors not passing fit & proper test due to connections with a former club. Newcastle or Everton apparently.

    Deal is now complete and is awaiting approval from the FA.

    Won't be announced until after Norwich game.

    1 day after the Norwich game or 2 years afterwards?
    Does it really make any difference? It’s a five year plan after all.
    The transfer window might make a difference.
    Was kidding. Will edit that post.
    Just whoosh the idiots. It’ll be easier.
