tomski Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The Charlton stuff is bizarre. The bloke who has been propping the money up to keep them going wasn’t actually sold the club in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B'Jaysus! he's the kind of non owner you need on board, a gullible simpleton. meanwhile back at Wigan there is a poster on LS who is adamant the club owe the owner £24.5 milllion. IF that is true, they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had people in the bid already involved in the club and prepared to put money in the club. The EFL got battered for allowing us to start the season so likely to be less flexible. I have no idea how they can possibly be ready for the season. "The EFL got battered for allowing us to start the season so likely to be less flexible." So, does this mean we will be partly responsible for their ultimate demise? 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is shagged. Yes. Bury, (hopefully) Wigan and Charlton spell it out. The advent of the Premier League was the death knell. I hope the greed merchants are happy with themselves.

How many times did we have legit US money or Middle East money supposedly looking at doing a deal.

Roger_Dubuis Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I hope the Sun is wrong but if a mid table Championship squad is available for £5.1 million it isn't hard to see why someone might be tempted.There is a lot of cash around at the moment, cash that would normally be in the stock market and won't be going into the stock market until a vaccine has been successful.Not good news from Nixon this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I still don’t think it will get done. I also think mid table championship squad is being a tad generous. Certainly after it’s decimated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobarp Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Keifer Moore to qpr I recall? The players won’t be keen to move. They aint getting the same money elsewhere in the current climate. They will sit it out knowing full well they will get fully paid as football creditors. They will move when it suits them financially.
