From my pal who knows is a Forest fan:
I seriously hope the Fawaz/Charlton rumours aren’t true...if he is interested and the FL let it happen then I might give up on football 🙈0 -
Just putting the documentary on in the gym.
Be interesting to see and research how true that all is.0 -
Realistically Hasawi is probably there to meet Andrews Air Conditioning4

Seems that the rumours about multiple bids for the Club aren't far off the mark.
Another potential purchaser was also being shown around the Club yesterday. Pictured below is another possible owner being shown round Sparrows Lane by Leiven De Turck (second left).

Has he been seen on a scarf yet?0

I can't find the post but I thought I read that the photo of Fawaz looking out over the Valley from the centre circle hospitality suite was taken on Monday with De Truck man in the background? Doesn't mean to say it wasn't him but the latter only works Tuesdsys to Thursdays. WIOTOS0

At least after selling Forest he said next time he’d bring in a chairman and CEO and let them run the club. Unlike Roland who still blames protesters and anything else he can, anyone but himself.
However after what happened at Forest he shouldn’t be allowed to buy another club.7 -
Broadly positive and in favour of him, then?Chris_from_Sidcup said:3 -
Does anyone know what Forrest fans think of him?6

Has previous of sending a tweet with that caption, it’s going to happen isn’t it1

Lennie was there assisting Freedman at Forest when the Kuwaiti was there.
Wonder what he made of him?0 -
All i would add to balance it out is when Meire was announced as going to Wednesday, social media was equally flooded by Charlton fans with similar warnings of incredulity and incompetence.
However, they quite like her and it seems they’ve got a different Katie to the one we had here.8 -
Nothing from Airman yet?0
-
He won’t be buying it. Won’t pay the £50 million plus all debts. Roland apparently said he still wants a say in the training ground too after he has sold it.0

Having had time to reflect, if they bring in a Varney as CEO (or similar) plus a group of people who know the club to run it, he might have learnt lessons and it’ll be ok.
If he does what he did at Forest and run it himself, we could be in trouble.1 -
Will be interesting to know if he is Varney’s man2
-
98% sure he would be a disaster, 2% that he could have learned from his mistakes and be the Yann of owners. Not liking the odds on this one. The comment with the tweet is the most worrying as it looks to be further on than a nosey round.1

Can anything be worse than roland? .

Imagine the pre-match entertainment. There'd be more performers than fans watching the game!!

Whoever we get is going to be flawed. Only a fool would invest in football and only an imbecile would pay Duche's asking price.
An owner who interferes with managerial decisions would obviously be a detriment to the club but it is relatively normal and an age old problem.
My main gripe with Duche, apart from him being a moron, is the player farm philosophy. Under his ownership we haven't really been a football club - winning has been secondary.
Basically I would take anyone but Duche and hope for the best.1 -

Is this still not ongoing?
Would have thought so as can't find anything about the outcome.
Was due to be in court late April/ early May this year.
EFL supposedly involved.
Did he get off? Win? get some money back?1 -
Obviously I'm too young to get the
Not sure the price was ever 50m AND the debt, that'd make the price over 100m.SE9 said:He won’t be buying it. Won’t pay the £50 million plus all debts. Roland apparently said he still wants a say in the training ground too after he has sold it.
