The Goodbye Duchatelet Thread

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.

First game after 'the stench' is gone I will be back at the Valley with a massive even if there is bird poo on my seat.... who would care

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Yes, but I believe that they do not have any say and be able to stop a takeover.

 

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

 

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

 

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.,

 

I was at the Chelsea '77 game when they must have had the majority of the crowd.

 

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 ..... 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

 

As the saying goes Mr van Gerwen, "small boy all tool, big boy no tool"

 

What did Everett do to get sacked? Everyone gets elusive when I ask.

 

He thought his Airman Brown persona was a good cover and disclosed Club confidential information on CL

 

Was that the game we won 4-0, they tried to burn the stand down, and did £15,000 damage to the turnstiles?
