Former Charlton Athletic chief executive Peter Varney could yet be the man to help rescue crisis club Ebbsfleet United.
Varney is representing a Kuwaiti company looking to invest in a football club and the Messenger understands Ebbsfleet is one of the clubs the group is looking at.
Having brought financial stability back to The Valley, Mr Varney is now chief executive of KEH Sports Ltd, the newly-formed sports subsidiary of the Kuwaiti European Holding Company.
His job is to oversee the group’s planned and future investment in football in the UK – and those plans may centre around Stonebridge Road.
Mr Varney said: “Whether they (KEH) invest with somebody who already owns a club or they go alone, they want to build a club.
“I gave a presentation on football finances and I didn’t think anything more of it until I was approached by people who are looking to get involved in football. They asked if I would represent them and we had discussions. They went on to set up a sports subsidiary.
“It’s flattering to be approached to do something like this because a lot of people could do this sort of role.”
The theme park is proposed to take the land currently occupied by Stonebridge Rd, so I can see Ebbsfleet getting a brand new stadium out of the deal, possibly within the new theme park so it can be used for concerts/entertainment on non-match days
They were talking about using all the land from the Swanscombe peninsula, through Ebbsfleet right up to the A2. That would mean Ebbsfleet's ground would be in, or right on the edge of the park.
The land for the theme park is in swanscombe not northfleet where ebbsfleets ground is
Yep, out on the peninsular to the west of their ground, so wont affect ebbsfleet, unless they change the whole road infrastructure, which I suspect they will have to.
As things stand we have Kermorgant and Haynes. We need at least two strikers in. I would be pleased with Obika and I think Baldock could complement both Yann and Jonathan if he materialises. Much will depend on what Bristol City want for him. I can't see us paying the amount he was sold for last summer. I still have a feeling that we will sign a foreign striker. Better value to be had from Europe.
Heard that some foreign striker called Lewandowski is available.

Not a bad first signing for Moyes.
