Matt Law (Express twitter) Charlton fans worried about Peter Ridsdale can breathe a sigh of relief for now. Statement coming saying no takeover is imminent.
[cite]Posted By: stonemuse[/cite]Good size loyal fanbase for this division, enormous fan potential as target 40k has made clear, global interest in greenwich over next couple of years (royal borough and olympics), relatively cheap price for a club with our potential, reputation as a 'family' club, definite chance to be a top-half championship club if not more ... for the right person this must represent an attractive proposition
Except that all things being equal we generate about enough money to keep the club running, before you factor in players. So we're always going to be a cash drain. I guess the reasons that you state make us a good target for someone looking for a club to develop, but not someone looking for an investment.
Seriously, what has upset you so much about this thread with various new "Takeover" threads in the last couple of days from Bibble, AFKA, RedMiddle, Prague, HI etc etc all left intact ? Did you just personally not like this one ?
I havent been upset by anything, sometimes you have to draw a line though. People were posting the same thing in so many different places.
The other threads were about specifics, the bloke Sainsbury, the announcement made this morning, and a much tidier recent thread minus the inane ramblings that dragged on for 15 months (plus bibble's TakeCover thread). I also sunk the "The Official Charlton Takeover Thread (For Johnny Come Latelys)" which has got close to 1,000 posts so I wasnt picking on a particular thread.
Don't get me wrong, it's all good for the joke - but when something appears in the pipeline so to speak it can get very confusing.
I don't get attached to any threads despite what you may think.
I'm going to write to my local councillor ... breach of human liberty ... and definite ageism because this thread is older ... you should ashamed of yourself.
However ... on a serious note ... I really do not think that this thread was confusing anyone ... it's just a laugh ... and for that reason it should return.
Cheerio old chum. I think the new owners wanted a clear out personally and don't want to see anything to remind supporters of the good old days. Bit like when they pulled down the old long lamented proper West Stand I guess. No sense of history some people. RIP

No surprise as all we are going to find on Twitter is more rumours ... although that won't stop me from reading them ;-)
wait and see what is said on OS ... nothing there yet
League One side Charlton Athletic have rejected a takeover bid from a group led by Swiss-based fund manager Sebastien Sainsbury.
A senior source at the club said the offer had not provided proof of funds.
Sainsbury, a member of the supermarket dynasty, fronted a failed attempt to buy Leeds United in 2004.
Former Leeds United and Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale has denied recent press speculation he is involved in a rival US bid for the Addicks.
This story is not over yet,
Will try and keep the most relevant and up-to-date threads on the first page.
Apologies to all you stalwarts.
Hitler.
LOL ... but you have sunk the wrong thread ;-)
still the wrong one ;-)
Sold out
get a life
Amazing. I'd suggest the same to you if the fact that when a thread on a internet message board gets sunk you get all upset.

The one and only takeover thread.
