@Airman Brown interested to know (sorry if you have been asked before) whether you have any inside info on the purchase price paid and if the £12M figure bandied about has any sense of reality... thanks0 -
Yes but that's irrelevant to the point I was responding to.Airman Brown said:

Not definitive but we’re likely to get that from the accounts in April. The debt to Sandgaard will have been written off by him, paid down (by SE7) or transferred (to SE7). That should tell us.Athletico Charlton said:Airman Brown said:

Well, it's all going swimmingly so far!

Didn't any ownership again and said 'one of the other owners'
So is he an owner?0 -
I am waiting for the answer from anybody in this regime to give a clear answer as to ‘why Charlton?’1

The non owner is suddenly being referred to as an owner of many things.0

I think he was talking about the horse....ie, the colours of the horse was chosen by "one of the other owners" of the horse.Braziliance said:Didn't any ownership again and said 'one of the other owners'

Does this strata of people ever do an actual honest day’s work?

Yeah you’re right.cafcfan said:
No. But then doing an honest day's work is hugely over-rated imo.seth plum said:Does this strata of people ever do an actual honest day’s work?Nobody on their deathbed is reported as saying they wished they had spent more time at work.
I imagine the Methven strata would criticise striking rail staff for not working to take them to Fontwell Park or wherever.2 -
Ah OK that makes a lot more sense, blimey that's a dense moment by me, cheers Golfiegolfaddick said:

It's probably easier to sell a club that have been in the Premier League to the investors you want to rope in too, and maybe a London club even, but basically chance.
Same as half of the people sniffing round football for one reason or another, they've got no affinity with any particular club, but the one they buy is the one for sale.

If you're struggling with that then I wouldn't go down the rabbit hole that is "why Carlisle" ?seth plum said:I am waiting for the answer from anybody in this regime to give a clear answer as to ‘why Charlton?’2 -

He was, the previous ownership came up. My mate messaged me saying Sandgaard sounded mental.killerandflash said:He was on Talk sport this morning apparently

Fairplay can only take him at face value and seems genuine and wants the best for us
Bring on next season !!!!4 -
Funny him talking about a club he has no part in running, according to Ronnie6

Not much you can complain about there, as a group they seem to want to grow the club in the right way, obviously Appleton was a disastrous appointment but they’ve sort of redeemed themselves getting NJ in. Ultimately it will come down to what we can achieve on the pitch next season, I really think playoffs has to be the absolute minimum next season. He came across well.17

Articulate, speaks like PR man he is.
Constantly distancing himself from the football side, which as people have said, has been a disaster on the mens side.
Implied the women's team funding was too big for a league 1 side while saying funding/structure of women's game was unclear. Sounds like they are hoping for a restrucure of the women's game/pyramid/funding before committing to further costs.
Stating it was desirable and possible that the women's team will possibly play all their games at the Valley suggests a major investment in the playing surface is coming.
A lot of praise and hopes for the future being pinned on Nathan Jones. He gives me optimism too but not sure I buy this "he was the first choice in September" line. Very convinient to say that now.
A lot of the rest was vague.
A 3 year plan but we're a year in already: what milestones have we hit or can we expect next season?
Success on the pitch breeds bigger gates which breeds more success. Yes, it's a virtuous cycle but what are they going to do differently to kick start that cycle? Buy early and spend money. All good but words.
Not buying the claim that buying "big" in January was prep for this summer. It was desperation and some of them were loans.
I'm all for reaching out to the local, black, community but that is a slow and long term project, not a three year fix. Ditto the Jamaican academy link, no harm in trying but we already have a great academy.
CM is, IMHO, trying hard to come over as a far more modest and likable chap than he was on Netflix and I believe it might well be something he has learnt from. He doesn't seem an egotist or delussional but it is an official club puff piece to sell season tickets and reassure the punters, not a Panorama investigaton.
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.29 -
