The fraudulence of Murray’s statement is personified with his comment about Bowyer looking at new players. That must make Lee the first Manager in history working with no employer, no line manager and no contract ...offering players deals at Charlton when he has no player budget.
Then again, according to some we had people who were not owners offering the Managers job to Sir Chris
If Roland is genuinely keen to sell Charlton he's got a funny way of going a As Royston put it recently, Roland is keeping his foot on the throat of our club. With Murray's blessing.
A pre-season tour is an indulgence in my opinion. How does it help pre-season preparations more than just playing matches against local opponents in the London area? A waste of money. Putting the Welling game back to July 14th is a pragmatic decision designed to limit the damage being caused by the disruption to our summer so far. Binning the notion of a pointless pre-season tour is just as sensible. Lee Bowyer decided to move the Welling game back. Binning the pointless pre-season tour was probably his idea too. If LB is going to be our indefinite 'caretaker' manager then the best of luck to him. These moves are his calls, and they are right ones by me.
I might have some news on the Saudi bidder for Charlton. I have just remembered that my son used to go to Eton with Sheik bin Skints son ....we used to compare the size of our Hummers at the school gates. I’ve messaged the Sheik, inviting him round to mine for lamb shanks and a homemade raspberry pavlova. I’m off to do a charity Iron Man challenge in aid of Pomposity Relief, but will let you know the reply on my blog www.clickbait.com
Bexleyboy has been told in person by one of the owners at Welling United that Chris Parkes has said the take-over will be completed by the time Charlton play Welling on July 14th. So there you have it. We can all relax.
BexleyBoy's stock has risen during the take-over, and he is now regarded as a more credible source of information than the Airman. Rather humiliating for Rick and his multiple sources.
With Bexley being on the floor with his reputation, he can only go in one direction. He is a fantasist.
As was said on ITTV recently, BB has been saying the deal is done for montgs. It stands to reason he will eventually be proved right. Those who used the word imminent on the other hand......
I was with a mate yesterday and we both came to the conclusion that the whole takeover business is bull**** and we are both bored of it. The longer it goes on the more worrying it is with the Australians dragging their heels. Dushitelet and the Australians need to force the hand of the other, or close the deal and wait for somebody else to come in.
The risk with parading yourself as an "ITK Peacock" is that your plumage starts to look a bit tatty when you are proven wrong. The latest peacock, on loan from Millwall, retired hurt after being called out this week for being plain wrong.
He is back though. I better not post on here what he said on CL because he gets all precious about it.
"We are still working at it, be patient my friend" - Aussie. Same old, same old \ No set of fans have been more patient, its been 14 months. Almost as long as James Dutton has supported Charlton.
