    May well have just been a slip due to language? I haven't heard anything to suggest there are more involved, nor does his ownerships of previous/fellow clubs suggest (though I don't know that to be 100%).

    Story on the front page of the FT today that Josh Harris earned 275m dollars last year. What might have been <ok>... we could have had him as owner & we end up with a Flemmish small time wheeler dealer who has shares in the champions of Mozambique.

    Another reason why non English people should not be allowed to buy English football clubs.

    Learn English, FFS

    Apparently the Harris bid was non existant. But also, he isn't English.

    He speaks fluent English (WASPs are basically the same thing, honourary English) and is seriously loaded. Imagine where he could have taken us. I doubt we would have signed Nego.

    Yes, that was my first thought, but there have been rumours that other investors are involved... Probably a load of old tosh.

    Went to bed a bit low after watching the BBC report, then I got this image of Charlton fans protesting with rage like the Liege fans, at that point I got off to sleep smiling...

    Precisely... Could you see our lot protesting over anything important... The usual "we've always been a selling club, and must accept this is all we will ever be" is doing it's usual rounds....

    ...and their success will be brief with that approach... I don't need to live another lifetime, to realise that resources will eventually reflect clubs fortunes...

    Sunderland around the same time spent more on a goalie, than Dowie did for all his useless signings... Murray was out of his depth financially, yet was happily not looking for investment/takeovers then... No, he chose to massage his ego instead, which is what the Dowie appointment was all about...

    Under Pardew... Add up the sales, against purchases, and see what comes out on top.

    You are risking the ire of the Mods with this comment. Super has already warned us that any reference to warm beef half time drinks results in a yellow card. It is not clear whether I am allowed to mention home grown tomatoes, tupperware containers, or geriatric ninnies, so some clarity would be appreciated.

    I think Vol has been saying the same thing, albeit with a little more verbosity. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    Don't get the West stand angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry.

    It was a jest, that is all. You've expressed a similar point to Vol, but with fewer words.

    But if that is your attitude, you can shove it up your ****.
