With the Q&A with slippery Charles Methven coming up , we have the ideal lifelong fan to put questions to him on the night @ElfsborgAddick 1. Have you selectively leaked info favourable to you and the SMT, to a handful of fans in the past 12 months ? 2. What was out net outlay on new players this Summer, including fees and wages, taking into account the £750,000 Alfie May fee, and Dobson, Fraser, Isted, Terrell & Hector being removed from the wage bill ?
He'll not answer who he leaks his info to? He'll not answer that our budget without the sale of May would have been lower than a moderator's belly. Looking forward to the meeting.
“Good evening Mr Methven. A widespread criticism of your time at Sunderland, made by Sunderland fans, was that you constantly misled the fanbase by feeding titbits favourable to you, to a select handful of forum fans. Please can you confirm whether two posters, on CL and ITTV, have received the same treatment from you ?”
@ElfsborgAddick BB / Ronnie Moore has posted that SE7 Partners has a “4 year plan” for promotion. Thats news to me. I suspect that it’s the latest in a long line of porkies, but one to ask Methven about at the Q&A.
A 4 year plan. Code for saying that in BB's (unique) world view, Charlton supporters shouldn't call SE7 out until the end of the 2027-28 season. If there was a fans' forum Stockholm Syndrome Award, he would need a bigger mantlepiece.
I'll need to question that, another whopper from Sams. Mary Mungo and Midge will not be here if we're still floundering and losing millions in the third division.
BB did get 1 thing right. He said we’ve only had one average game. Correct, the rest have been utter gash!
@ElfsborgAddick Further to our conversation in the pub, perhaps you can raise the following question under “Any Other Business”, or the section reserved to discuss “Freebies”. “Good evening Charles. Congratulations on such a positive start to the season. You must be delighted to see Oxford United in the Play Off positions. Please can you confirm whether residents of our capital city will also be eligible for free prawn sandwiches at the club’s expense. The impression given so far in your reign is that only residents of Dubai, or a resident from an economically deprived town in North Wales, are the beneficiaries of SMT freebies?”
I will ask Charlie what benefit does he see in giving details to message boards rather than our club website.
Would also like to understand his opinion on the current style of play and whether or not he feels it may be detrimental for his desire to fill the stands
I'll tell him that the service in the concourse areas is shocking, and has been since they took over last summer, January '23 on the football side.
