From a fairly reliable source, board tunrned down a takeover bid yesterday from a British consortium. Directors apparently putting in another 1/2 million each to see us through next season. Bid was rumoured to be 20 million but board wanted more and buyer is now exploring other clubs.

    Interesting first post.

    Who is your source for this?

    Welcome to the site.
  • epsom addickepsom addick
    Can't give exact source but connected to a championship club and seemed to know what they were talking about. Not sure what i think to be honest.

    Thanks for the welcome, been a guest for a while but thought i would share this. Even if it turns out to be rubbish.

    Might explain why PP keeps mentioning budgets have yet to be set

    fair enough.

    Seems odd that someone connected to another club would know exactly when and for how much an offer was made, when it was turned down as well as how much each director was putting into the club this season.

    But I'm sure this will be repeated as gospel on here and other sites within hours : - (

    Why can no one ever give the exact source of rumours?

    Yes welcome Epsom. Have you received your CL badge yet. Sometimes AFKA forgets to send them out. ;0)
  • epsom addickepsom addick
    Apparently the source has a contact within the club, showed me some number on his phone. Might of been his Mum for all i know.

    If true it puts comments made previously on here that the board would consider convervative bids from the right buyer into the rough, in favour of them still hanging on for some return, course it may not be true.

    Sorry don't believe it for a minute I doubt the Club's asking price is £20m in fact I doubt it is even half that figure.

    I don't like agreeing with Ketman but on this occasion I am forced to.

    OK.....it was me ! I was hoping that this would not hit the rumour mill until I had released Richard Murray from that headlock. Now my cover is blown I suppose I will have to release the rest of the CAFC Board of Directors from the cupboard under my stairs.... While I remember, I'd better text Parkinson and let him know not to bother with the extra front target man. "So its just, todays Sun, some tea bags and £1 lucky dip for this Fridays Euro then Phil, theres a good lad !"

    the bit about them putting in another 500k each isn't very believable :)
  • epsom addickepsom addick
    I did only say it was a rumour, bit strange though that Varney was mentioned as being involved. Oh well gave you all a laugh by all accounts.

    No, that's the one bit that rang true.

    Not having a go but Varney has been mentioned in just about every "I've heard that we're being taken over" rumour. Throwing his name in doesn't make it any more or less true.
  • epsom addickepsom addick
    Fair enough, i'll see if i can get him to give me something that may or may not give it some legs.

    Connected in what way?

    Whose phone number did he claim to have on his phone? Someone connected with Charlton or the bidders?

    Why do you think he would have any knowledge about such a bid?

    Why would he tell you?

    If I heard such a rumour I would have to be at least 90% certain that he was telling the truth before I posted it here. How confident are you that he is telling the truth?

    I very much doubt that our directors will be putting in another £1/2m each.

    this is all a moot point really, because even if there's a slightest bit of truth to it... which i doubt... the buyer, or buyers if it was a consortium, are "now exploring other clubs" so its neither here or there.
  • epsom addickepsom addick
    He was connected to the club, it came up during as business meeting. He was buying something from me for a Championship club. I don't mind the hard time, i don't know for sure if he was really in the know but it wasn't some bloke off the street.

    Posted as a rumour. Nothing wrong with that. Welcome epsom.
  • KetmanKetman
    The Directors would of had to put more money in to keep the club running this season although I would of thought the amount quoted is way off the mark.
