I will never be happier to be wrong about anything in my lifetime if I am wrong about this - but it sounds too good to be true.

Apparently not even the merest whisper from any other source about something as important as this?
That seems virtually impossible.
I was in Brasil when the vermin took us over.

From memory the sale happened all of a sudden and came as a surprise, I may well be wrong. Tele's and laptops work very spasmodically over in South America.

I think it took about a week from the Belgian showing an interest to him actually buying the Club. This will not come as no surprise considering the Lawyer he used.... she always does things half baked.

Anyway £10m for the Club plus £8m in inherited debts and Charlton was that woman's toy, to play with as she pleased.

Shocking...absolutely shocking.
 
Ditto, with about another 2k

I was going to the Valley when there wasn't even seats for god sake (and the terracing was a H&S hazard!) but did we care when we could watch Curtis, Powell, Hales and Flash on the pitch.... no of course we didn't give a damn.... I still really couldn't give a 5hit about a bit of bird poo!

The massive East Terrance and the Covered End - sometimes containing the odd away fan - are part of the Charlton supporters DNA.

I remember a game in the early 70's when I think it was Exeter (or some team of equal standing)... took the Covered End.... the joys of being a Charlton supporter <laugh>

For the youngsters amongst us ... in those days fans could walk around the stadium... and the Covered End was where the Charlton 'Ultras' stood

In my youth it was a common occurrence for it to “go off” in the Covered End - as you say/ you could actually watch the away fans making their way round <laugh>

This occasion stuck in my mind because it was a small bunch of West Country 15 year olds who took the Covered End with ease... quite often the away team fans were supplemented by Millwall when the Wall had nothing better to do :emoticon-0146-punch

RE left Charlton in ignominy some 8 years ago my diminutive friend. How many senior people are still at the Club that he worked with, and are not only privy to commercially sensitive information but also on speaking terms with RE ?

Sutherland ? Kavanagh ? Waggott ?Whitehead ? Chapell ? Murray ? Varney even ? Nope. Maybe Chris Parkes is telling him- after all, RE is so complimentary about his wife.

RE’s contacts these days amount to little more than the very junior club employees he frequently patronises as “the sensible fans” - Olly Groome and Mick Everett. And they know about as much about takeovers as you know about pulling birds under 60.

Everitt is a hot air merchant with a £2 fanzine to sell. The man who grabbed the megaphone and said he would make Charlton “unmanageable” - remember ?

Don't the former Directors have a charge on the Club for some £7m and have to be informed of any change of ownership?

I stood in the south east quadrant, same barrier every week, with other assorted oddballs who also had their own barrier.

I didn't say that. They would have knowledge of an offer for the Club and DD being carried out. Straight away there's a possible 'multiple sources' for Everitt

My understanding is that none of them would touch Everitt with a bargepole, why would they? Not only was there the settled Court case over RE's dismissal, he has also slagged most of them in VOTV. Reading Ricky's statement yet again, he leaves more space for wriggle room than you find in Elf's underpants.,

My barrier was just behind the South goal so between the goal and the toilet block... well I say toilet block, it was a wall to pi55 up with another wall around it <laugh> ..... but we were happy as long as Killer was on the pitch.

I can never forgive Peacock for taking both Killer and Paddy to Gillingham when 'The Cock' was Manager there
