More empty words Do they think we're all mugs...This current squad would struggle to win a Sunday league. #InsultingFans
I know Olly Groome has to be found things to do during the summer vacation, but “insulting fans” really is the correct expression. It’s a shambolic, basket case of a football club. But enough about Sunderland.
To be honest, I don't see much for the purchaser either. Anyone who believes failure goes unrewarded can take a long look at RD's decisions here, and the money he seems set to recieve for it. A lesser owner would be facing bancrupty now. It's almost admirable that he seems to have found a selection of buyers who are cheerfully prepared to pay off all the debts he has run up in order to own a club full of infighting fans in tier 3.
Ken - don’t forget we had fans who supported the Sunleys and claimed we could make a success of moving to Selhurst. The rest of us just concentrated on supporting the team by turning up there every week. #SameOld
Roland has turned down a Saudi bid of £40.5m, if you believe NLA and Red Henry, which I am inclined to, and also rejected overtures from a Kuwaiti consortium because it was fronted by Peter Varney. Remember when it was announced to staff that he had a "Preferred bidder"? That must have been these hapless Aussies. You wonder what could possibly have been going through his mind if he really is keen to offload.
Its surely all coming to an End Game now ? Its a sad state of affairs when a few wallys are wetting their pants about reaching 1000 pages on a takeover thread that 95% of Charlton fans haven't read Two deadlines have now been publicly mooted about the Aussies - today, and this Friday. Over to them...
And when those deadlines pass there will be others. The 1,000 page thing on CL is a running joke between a handful of regulars. They are laughing at themselves as well as the whole farcical take-over situation.
At least we had a team to be proud of at Selhurst, and we got to enjoy some footballing success…Lot's of us stuck it out because of that, and refusing to accept that we'd playing at the sh1thole forever kept many of us going. It'll always be 'same old', if the 'same old' disastrous polices are applied...Not much about this Aussie bid suggests they'd buck the trend.
With hindsight, it was a footballing miracle what Lennie and the team did there 1985-1990. And with 5,000 fans and no stadium or money.
The football side was brilliant...Gets lost in history, but then only a few hundred of us bothered to experience it.
That 86/87 season was my favourite ever. My ST cost £54 [stick that in your Museum]. We won 1-0 at Old Trafford, beat outstanding Champions Everton 3-2 [Melrose HT], and stayed up in that classic v Leeds
