Dalman riding off on his LambrettaFumbluff said:Zzzzzzzz2 -
He was at West Ham working on team/club culture. From what I heard he was on the cusp of something good but the manager at the time undermined his efforts and ultimately he wasn’t successful . He also worked with the English rugby team on similar things. I can see some West Ham/culture jokes will follow, but don’t write write off this stuff as new age nonsense . Get culture right and enduring and results follow . Take a look at the All Blacks for an exemplarbobmunro said:LargeAddick said:
hasn't Gerard Murphy been involved in English football previously?i_b_b_o_r_g said:
Dont you think you're being a bit hypocritical here mate? One minute you're twisting it one way, then the other, but all along it don't matter what the owner is worth, as long as they're willing to invest enough.Henry Irving said:
Exactly but justifying Dalman as a sound bet when he has less money then Muir, who "hasn't got the money" makes no sense. That's what.Covered End said:
There is no point having the money if you don't want to spend it on Charlton.Henry Irving said:

As rich as Tan, apparently.oohaahmortimer said:
He wasn’t the buyer it was MG who was from what I have read .NapaAddick said:
We know he had enough money that he was personal friends with Muammar Gaddafi and almost bankrolled MG’s purchase of ManU. Makes me think he has enough money to work our well for us.oohaahmortimer said:Do we know what sort of dough Dalman has ?
Is he a Gerard Murphy type who puts it all together or is he super duper rich enough to spunk dough on buying a football club for ego
I'm not sure I've heard anyone 100% certain Dalman has more money than sense or is he more Tony Jiminez than Sheikh Mansour
so once again he’s the fluffer
yes he he has contacts , so did Jiminez , so does Gerard Murphy and so did Peter Risdale .
I’m still not sure what Mehmet brings “cash” wise to the table
According to the unreliable interweb Tan is worth USD820 million
So maybe less than Andrew Muir who we "know" doesn't have the money.
RD has the money as well, so what ?
As far as I can see, Dalman's finances and backing have hardly been mentioned. The reason he stands out for me more than the Aussies, at this moment in time, is his experience and popularity at Cardiff, along with the contacts he presumably has in the game.
're the Aussies, there's a couple of things that concern me, those being the way they're going about attracting more investment and their lack of experience in English football. Ive also got a feeling that their ultimate plan is to use the club to school and sell Australian players in order to turn a profit, not a system tbat id personally be on favour of, but I stand to be corrected on that being tbeir plan.
If it does end being the Aussies, they'd get my backing and see how it goes.
He did something with Wet Spam, and had some involvement with England rugby.From what I can gather he is a management consultant rather than a football man.

I do have some news that I've been permitted to mention. The potential new buyer whom I am aware of who emerged after Wembley, has been told that a deal (with another party) is almost done, but if it isn't closed by Tuesday, this buyer will be given a short run at closing it. I have not been told who the likely buying party is, and it may be that this buyer does not know either.
Let's hope that is true. I trust my source, whom I have known for a while. While I'm intrigued by the interested party I know of, being from this neck of the woods, I just want a sale done, fast, we are bleeding talent and it is breaking my heart.81 -

Great news Prague0

Hopefully a shorter run at closing than the Aussie's and even more hopefully not necessary at all. I get you're last paragraph - imagine if today's signings weren't replacing heart breaking departures.PragueAddick said:I do have some news that I've been permitted to mention.

Encouraging post, thank you @PragueAddick1

Well, the first club sale info that I have actually got excited about. Prague thank you!1

If Dalman did not think he could do well with us, he would just stay with Cardiff, where he is already well-liked by fans and has had significant success. If he is coming here, it only makes sense if his goal is to significantly improve Charlton’s standing in English football, otherwise he is better off where he is already. This seems self-evident. So in my mind, I feel good about our chances if Dalman buys the club, as long as it is ALL of the club.Scoham said:I can’t see Dalman buying us without the funding to make it worthwhile. He’s worked in football long enough to know you can’t break even, never mind make a profit from just staying in the Championship.1 -
This only got a couple of likes deserves so much more. Anyone dont think its all that at the start stick with it. Proper thanks oggy red.Oggy Red said:bobmunro said:
A bit like Ryan Air's fare structure. That's £39 - oh you want a seat? That's another £30.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Pretty sure they soon will walk away.JamesSeed said:Have to say if I was the Aussies, or Dalman, I'd walk away, like probably countless other potential owners already have.
The fans, players and management are suffering because we're owned by someone with a tenuous grip on reality. And it goes on.
How much do you want for the club?
33m.
Ok great, let's sign the paperwork and get the deal done for 33m.
Sorry I now want 40m.

Take over cancelled. Large Addick bought a season ticket. Roland has seen this as strong validation of his recent management of the club and has decided to give it another crack.
LDT has been appointed permanent CEO, a dubstep DJ has been booked for a residency in Bartram’s and a new fan sofa is on order from DFS.

Yes, I had not actually read about today's signings when I wrote that, so I feel better all round than I did some three hours ago. G&T for me, I thinkFerryman said:

Why don't people just keep their cards close to their chest until such a time as they know that the info they have is 100% verified and therefore can be disseminated.PragueAddick said:I do have some news that I've been permitted to mention.

What is it with wanting to curry favour with the CL masses when there is no real evidence to support such claims?
I guess narcissism comes into it.
Here's a novel idea. Just keep quiet until you actually know that something is genuinely stirring in the pot.16 -
