    silly season.

    i think i've got to the point now where i dont care. or dont care as much.

    we'll get more dodgy owners again. each trying anonymously to take cash out of the infrastructure.

    The economy is buggered. Sport is buggered (even more than it was before).
    Nobody is going to invest in football now for honourable reasons.

    There are only con-men, crooks and chancers out there now.
    Duchatelet's dream of a better, fairer way to run football is truly dead.
    We are heading for another decade of global depression and austerity.

    Strangely, the Club might end up better off in the long run dropping down to the 3rd or 4th tier.
    It will be less of a target for criminals like Southall.
    And since the Valley has now gone, there is nothing left at CAFC really worth stealing.
    Perhaps we can get back to basics with a small team of honest folk running the Club on a shoestring, but still with some heart and pride.

    Adittedly, a ground-share with Gillingham or Welling will be humuliating,
    but we're getting used to humiliation I think.

    i said it loads of times when RD owned us. i would rather be in L2 than have him around. but even with that i thought we'd have the ground and training ground.

    now we dont have that, we're so close to not existing. in 2 months time, we'll have the youth team, 3 senior players and that's it. it's no wonder it's only worth a quid.

    If there's one thing I love more than making sweeping gloomy predictions about the future, it's being proved wrong.
    Unfortunately that only happens very rarely.

    If Peter Varney and Andrew Barcley prove me wrong I could not be happier.
    Can't see how they'll get the Valley back off Roland though, as well as have enough money to run the team well.

    I fear talk about reuniting CAFC and the Valley may just be popular patter to butter up weary fans.
    Still, Varney would be a better option than any of the current bunch of crooks.

    Last thing I saw on CL is that Rumanian guy Mihail saying the deal is done and will be announced monday. I can't see how that means the Portuguese can buy (good news) or the Varney/Barclay bid (potentially very bad news. Given some of the chances buzzing around, this is not a good time.

    Why is the Varney / Barclay bid potentially very bad news?

    We've already lost the Valley & Sparrows Lane.
    What can happen from here on in that's worse than that?

    It's not - sorry I wasn't clear. It would be very bad news if we missed out on it and sold to another bunch of crooks.

    I guess the good news this morning is that the people reading the tea leaves over on CL generally seem to hope that the sale confirmed on monday is simply a manoeuvre to get Southall off the top table, after which ESI can sell to a buyer who has some scruples hopefully. If true, I'm happy with that as the idea of Southall getting anything at all beyond a jail term for his wanton acts of piracy at CAFC makes my blood boil. I guess the downside of all this is that as of yesterday, Pete Varney seemed to be implying that ESI were not picking up the phone to him, which is odd under normal circumstances, and worrying given the number of sharks circling us as of now.

    Borat will be out of a job if the takeover goes through.

    No loss there. What has he done for the Club so far except polish a leather seat in the board room with his arse?
    Probably not even that, because of the lockdown.
    Does anybody care what these crooks say?
    We just want them gone.

    "The price for the Addicks will plummet if they are relegated" <laugh>

    CAFC is worth £1
    How much lower can it go?

    Does that mean Nimer and Southall are not owners, have no money and within the club, even the directors now can see they need to be bought out?

    I don't think anybody knows what it means Ken.

    Southall - presumed on the run
    Nimer - sold up and gone?
    Borat - ask Interpol
    Roland - Self isolating (nothing new there)
    Bowyer - in the dark
    Players - out of contract
    Fans - out of the loop
    The EFL - out to lunch
