Powell to Charlton

[LCFCmonkey]

Odds have apparently been slashed from 8/1 to 1/8 on Skybet. There's a few grumbles that he might be off.

 

[Graz]

Nooooo Powelly don't go.

we love you... Svennis loves you

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I do not care how many hundreds of games he played for Charlton Sven, do not let him go.

Give him whatever it takes. And there are a few on here that will offer other than money, if that is what it takes!

You don't get such a great name in football without being worth it. Keep him, Barry Svennison.

Wouldnt begrudge him if he went. His heart bleeds Charlton red!

The same skybet who slashed their odds on England hosting the world cup 20 mins before it was announced?

 

[Hazzman]

It's common for betting firms to severly shortened their odds overnight if there has been a tiny bit of activity towards the end of the day. It protects them as football is a 24/7 thing and betting shops aren't.

As much as he is loved here, i fear the Charlton call will be too much to resist for him

 

[dpjfox]

For those of us that are at deepdale lets make sure CP knows what we think

 

[Scarby]

if he goes I wish him the best of luck

Not any longer - there's also a large amount of City blue - making the only attractive offer one from Fiorentina.

Charlton is not the nice community club that Chris experienced though.

Lifted from a QPR message board

"Now ran by 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, he is the former vice‑president (player recruitment) at Newcastle United & seemed happy working with Dennis Wise (what does that say about the guy ) - hence the media speculation that Wise would take over as manager
