I'd be worried if I was a Charlon fan... Charlton Athletic's new owners are decisive: they sacked the manager Phil Parkinson yesterday within 24 hours of taking control. What else do we know about them? Well, Charlton's website yesterday described Tony Jimenez and Michael Slater respectively as "an international property developer" and "a lawyer and businessman". The pair hold their interest in Charlton through CAFC Holdings Limited, "a company managed and controlled in Switzerland", though its registration is held in the offshore tax haven of the British Virgin Islands. Charlton's chairman, Slater, as the club's website explains, began work as a solicitor. Indeed, a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal in August 2007, although clearing him of the primary allegations, found "the way in which [slater] conducted himself could well be detrimental to the good reputation of the solicitors' profession as a whole". A spokesman for Slater said yesterday: "Allegations were made and these were 100% rejected by the SDT." As for Jimenez, the former vice‑president (player recruitment) at Newcastle United, Digger hopes his international property development interests have more life to them than those UK businesses on whose board he has served. Of the 17 UK companies where has been a director, 16 have been dissolved. The 17th is also set to be, either this month or next. "Tony has been a successful businessman in international property over the last 20 years," the spokesman added.

Exeter reject Brighton bid for playmaker Ryan Harley
Doctoroncall replied to stu0x's topic in The Saints
or there could be bids from championship clubs (and not newcastle as he'll be 26 this month)? -
...except the daggers!!!

I think the one on the right has let the team down only having one belly roll.

With all this talk of LL signing for them, does anyone know what players are in their last year of their contract? I remember Utaka being one of many, it seems next season could be a challenge on the recruitment front unless they do make the promised land.

Up to third with Charlton drawing 2 a piece against Colchester.
-
Saints have played more home games than anyone else so conversely less away games, and it's the away form which is the worrying aspect which needs fixing quickly- played 8, won three and lost 4 with one draw.

It was when I looked at the schedule yesterday, but I've checked again now and it's been replaced by Hard Rain... grrrr!

I think it was one step at a time. We are now 5th in touching distance of the top spot with half the season left. When he arrived, we were 22nd so maybe not the best time to make such a bold statement.
-
They are both on tomorrow.
-
That's only potential and may not be anywhere near that. Still not as good a fee as we got for Richards from them.

The best thing I've fond is buy some leave in hair conditioner spray (Aussie make this) and add ~20ml neat tea tree oil to the bottle. I used this every day after my kids got an infestation a few years ago and although there has been outbreaks at the school my kids have never had them.

I've got a glowworm ultimate 80ff. The trouble with this is that there are only two things to do - the on/off switch and the thermostat dial. I've called every engineer in cambridge yesterday and this morning and managed to get one for this afternoon. Thanks for all your advice.

Thanks Deppo, J9 doesn't receive PMs. Dune - helpful as ever.

Hi guys, not the best time to loss heating in the house but my boiler has given up. I've followed the instructions to turn it on but the pilot light will not start. It's an automatic boiler so it's a simple turn on, turn the thermostat between min and max and the fan starts (which it does) followed by an ignition spark (which doesn't). The house thermostat is on 20 and heating set to on. No pressure gauge is visible. It's not a condenser boiler so no outside pipe frozen. Am I missing something or is there anything I could try before calling an emergency plumber? British Gas can not come out until the 6th January!

Well they are playing like the first team, too many missed chances.
