    The next owner will be a local businessman who made a fortune selling salt and grit, which he scraped off local roads, back to Greenwich Council at double the price they originally paid for it.

    I've just seen a Red Robin in my garden. Could this be significant?

    Pravda aka The South London Press reports: 'The investor group locked in takeover talks with Charlton were facing a raceagainst time to complete their buyout of the League One club before the end of today, writes Richard Cawley.

    The Addicks' potential new owners were hoping to conclude a deal by Christmas Eve.
    But the club's former chief executive Peter Varney who is representing the group, has admitted that their hopes of assuming control today is likely to go to the wire.

    He said: "We're doing everything we possibly can to complete what is a very complex transaction which involves a whole array of third parties."

    [The takeover of a Norbury club] was slowed by waiting for the Football League to rubber stamp the club's change of hands. The share - which is their right to play
    in the division - has to be transferred.

    But Varney, when pressed said: "The Football League is not an issue."

    i dont have a clue about the takeover of a football club/business but if there are a host of third parties, is it more likely that the new owners are non-uk citizens?

    Another takeover Thread Great, that makes at least 38 separate threads some running into the thousand of posts. Why people keep starting new threads on the same subject is just plain bad internet manners Ban em I say.

    I can't imagine that the club would pull the plug if it's not completed today. If there's anything that'll hold it up, it'll be the lawyers who can't be arsed to get out of the pub on Christmas eve.
  • BigRedEvilBigRedEvil
    I don't understand why it absolutley has to be done today, what happens if it's announced the next working day? (Wednesday in this case)

    Surely if they have money and have agreed and completed due diligence sealing it by 24th December surely sealing it a few days later makes no difference? Seems a little weird to me

    So if you strip out the Wyn Grant spin, Varney is saying the same he always has.

    Zabeel would be brilliant.

    I want gadillions of money spent on the club not £561.98 by some local businessmen who own the local carpet shop

    Not a chance of it being Zabeel. If it was they wouldn't be going through another prolonged due diligence.

    Don't all new owners have to do that regardless?
  • sam3110sam3110
