Supprised the current oil crisis hasn't got a thread of it's own.

This current Russia v Saudi spat combined with Covid19 has resulted in the world running out of storage for oil. Oil companies, who generally have a better credit rating than most banks and nations now have huge overhead libilities and last week were having to pay companies to take their product off them.

If the west switches to cleaner fuel, that will only bring the price down, making it easier for Russia, South Asia, and Africain countries to start building their economies on cheap oil (China are world leaders in clean electricity). I doubt they will care about the polition given that rich countries have built their economies on heavy poluting industry.

Even if/when we switch away from oil, there will be a vested interest in protecting supplies in the middle east. Unless you put massive import tarrifs on countries without green economies.

I think I meant to reply to an earlier post saying "lets get rid of oil"

Watching Sunderland til I die has reinforced by veiw against this. When income from supporters becomes irrelivant to the club the relationship between club and supporters diminish. That seems to have happened a bit since we got to the premiership.

When we were in administration, it was s***, but you knew every penny the club made matters. In the premiership it seems the crowd are only included to put on more of a show for TV audiances.

Is that an existing phase. If not, you may have just invented the term Cynical Correctness.... for people that always look for the bad in something.

Either way, I think its brilliant and will be using it when people are overly politically correct about stuff

I've looked on ebay but couldn't see anything

The first question, as always, is who or where from?

I hope it's not the dreaded consortium.

Charlton may be sold yet again there are 3 groups interested two of them are fronted by people well known in football circles.

The problem with these types of consortium is that the front man is just that. The money men stay in the background it's not clear who they are or what their motivation is.

In the case of the current Charlton owners the front man fell out with the owner within weeks of taking over and was sacked. Now it turns out the owner probably never had the money either and was in act a front man for god knows who. The EFL are still investigating.

So it's rather like a onion you keep peeling away the layers.

If we are sold let's hope we have a proper owner.

My perception is that the EFL's due diligence process isn't fit for purpose.

Any prospective purchasers of Charlton need to commit to buying the stadium and training ground from Roland Duchatelet as he still owns them....sounds familiar...

Old, Ungifted and White

Agreed.

It's not only the due diligence rumour has it that the EFL only found out Charlton had been sold after it had happened.

In Germany that cannot happen the Bundesliga holds a golden share in each club so no takeover can happen until the authorities are satisfied all criteria has been met.
