You mean he didn't take it with him!
Maybe he never really had an ambition to own an English football club, but instead saw an opportunity to create a platform for his ego.
Credit for defeating ESI, no credit for anything else.

It was COVID, we were absolutely leaking money and were owned by crooks. We were an absolute mess. He has to get massive credit for saving the club. His ego and strange ideas meant he was destined to fail but he passed us on to better owners. I find it a bit of a shame the abuse he gets tbh. Would always be welcome back for me.15 -
I’m not sure many that worked for the club during his tenure would offer such a welcome.Athletico Charlton said:SporadicAddick said:You mean he didn't take it with him!

edit: except perhaps Tony.3 -
For all his faults and aberrations, where would we be if Tommy had not unravelled all the issues with ESI. Cost him a lot of money for a vanity project.7

£19m was TS's own figure of his losses.Starinnaddick said:For all his faults and abberations, where would we be if Tommy had not unravelled all the issues with ESI. Cost him a lot of money for a vanity project.
Undoubtedly saved us from the ESI crooks but then refused to listen to anyone, hired his own incompetent family while firing good Charlton people.
Much prefer the low profile being kept by our current owners.9 -
Saved the club but a bellend of the highest order4

Along from the Stadium on the left hand side towards Shooter hill road was an Army camp for women in the days before they were integrated with the male soldiers. About where the buses park now.CatfordCat said:guinnessaddick said:

Not really a new item but something that was donated a while ago by the family of John Rooke that we were looking at again recently.
Scrapbooks like these are an invaluable source of information and photos but unusually John's aren't in chronoligical order or dated so we have, we think, a 1965 Valley fire, a 1955 thrashing of Man City and an as yet undated reserve team triumph on the same page.

Why would you want to be on X in the first place?Charlton_Charlie said:Still blocked on X for politely expressing an opinion.1 -
As it is the hottest day of the year so far how about some newly donated Xmas Cards
Early 90s but undated.

Oh for the good old days when the ground staff had their own Xmas card

Sorting a big donation from a lifer.
Coach ticket from Chesterfield away 1975. A big following of 1500 travelled hoping to see Charlton promoted.
We lost 2-0 but got the job done three days later.
In an ugly echo of recent events a car ploughed into the away fans being escorted to the game.
There was also a pitch invasion pre-game by our fans.

We all got the coach that day from the Lewis pick up point in Greenwich.1 -

The museum has a fairly extensive programme collection post-WWII but there are still gaps before then so we were happy to pick up some rarities at auction recently. Thanks to all our donors and buyers of items on eBay and in our shop for making that possible.
First of the newly acquired programmes is from 1925. Aberdare Athletic joined the @EFL in 1921 alongside @CAFCofficial but left the league in 1927 and folded in 1928. They would have been Nathan Jones' local league club had they survived.
4,000 saw #cafc win 5 - 1.

That's a great addition. That it still exists 100 years later, and is now in safe custody of the Museum, is wonderful.Henry Irving said:The museum has a fairly extensive programme collection post-WWII but there are still gaps before then so we were happy to pick up some rarities at auction recently.

I'm sure I've asked before but can't remember, but why did Bostall Heath (what would have now been my local club) play at the Valley ?1 -
Remember it well. … we ran up to and in the home end, then the police forced us out after a few minutes and back to our end where a few more scuffles erupted.Henry Irving said:

If you can provide your full name and address I can pass the details onto our safety officer so a ban can be enforced.stonemuse said:

Another rare programme bought recently at auction.
Not in perfect condition but you take what you can get when you can.
Then called Clapton Orient, the O's were playing at their Lea Bridge Road stadium, a now demolished speedway track.
Jimmy Seed was making his first return to his previous club as Charlton boss. Charlton won 3 - 1
