Rich Cawley has confirmed this morning that he had known all summer that Begovic was on the club’s wanted list.
Methven quoted by Rich Cawley this morning. The club has sold 7,500 ST, says Methven, slightly up on the like for like figure last July, and on target to exceed 8,000. It’s not a huge number of sales IMO, but I won’t criticise it as I am not buying a ST myself (disillusioned, got other things to do some Saturdays, live quite a way from the Valley now, although not as far as some). Methven rightly points out that the owners / SMT haven’t entirely won over the fanbase with their intentions yet.
Worst 3rd tier season in 98 years. Nearly relegated. Sold our two best players from that season - the two who undoubtedly prevented us being relegated. Fair to say he's not doing a stellar job of winning me over.
Cawley has quite an interesting interview with him today. The Medical team has discovered that one of the reasons we get so many injuries is due to the poor state of the training pitches, so they have invested £450,000 plus in new ones. They have also brought the club shop back in house, and Methven expects revenues to double this season. One surprise was reading that the suave and urbane Methven has moved to the **** hole that is Eltham I believe well known Charlton box holder @TC (Lovely Geezer) has offered him the use of his penthouse on the Ferrier Estate ?
I know ? I haven’t been living under a Rock for the last 10 years. They kept one block of the old estate intact at the request of @TC (Lovely Geezer) he is a major HMO owner in the vicinity, hence being able to afford a private box at the Valley
Sorr Sorry haven’t lived up that end for 20+ years , thought TC would have a row of caravans somewhere rather than bricks and mortar
Another excellent factual update this morning from Rich Cawley, the only individual genuinely in the know. Ness has had ankle surgery. There is transfer interest from other clubs in him. I don’t think the club would be making this known to Cawley unless they were keen to move him on.
Swisdom must be having double egg & chips for his tea tonight - assuming he get can the eggs off his face
