I've never thought of your good self as "being in the know", so have to say I'm surprised by this comment, other than the fact that this rumour has been reasonably common knowledge for a couple of weeks.flyingkiwiDK said:I’m hearing from a usually reliable source of mine that the Americans are prepared to meet the £50 million asking price for the club. Lock, stock and barrel.
It’s the first time in ages this person has contacted me with news on the club so I’m thinking there might be something in it despite how unrealistic it might sound given the ridiculous asking price!
Is your "reliable source" just one of the hundreds of Charlton supporters who are aware & passing it on are does this individual have specific knowledge ? Thanks.0 -

That model won’t work here though will it. No city or anyone else will build him a stadium or other goodies. The area surrounding The Valley wouldn’t be conducive to the type of development you mentioned. If it’s him and that’s his motives I think we can forget him. No cash cows in British football.NapaAddick said:
He has been sniffing around for an English club for 4 years. Owns the San Diego Padres baseball team. Spent money on the club for 2 years, which convinced the city to build him a stadium and build up hotels and restaurants around that stadium. Once it was done he stopped spending and bled the team dry financially with zero ambition. Sees teams as cash cows.Valley27000 said:NapaAddick said:If it’s an American, pray it’s not John Moores.
Why?
Older then RD.
A productive academy is a cash cow if young players are signed to appropriate contracts and then sold on at the right time/for the right price.0 -
Remind me how many football clubs are currently making a profit ? Possible in the ludicrous world of Premier a League but Championship clubs made a combined loss of more than £510 million last year.0

I would piss myself laughing if my bosses bosses bosses bosses bosses boss ends up owning my football club.
Maybe I’ll send him an internal email today to give him a nudge.9 -
Can you copy and paste what it says as there’s no way I’m clicking on a link for The Scumcafc_harry said:10 -
Basically, it’s says an American consortium are pulling out of their proposed purchase of Sunderland. Says the £50m asking price is way over the top. No chance of them buying us thenBedsaddick said:

“SUNDERLAND’S super-rich American bidders are pulling out of takeover talks over the valuation of the club.
The League One sleeping giants have been told the shock news after MSD Partners spent over a month trying to finalise a deal.
The group, led by Glenn Fuhrman and backed by Dell computer cash, were unhappy with the buy-out plan after due diligence.
Owner Stewart Donald hoped to sell for a good priceand keep a major say in the Black Cats.
But the Americans have too many questions unanswered.
The parties discussed initial figures over a multi-million sale before Fuhrman flew in to push on with the deal a few weeks ago.
Those numbers changed after queries were raised by the American’s legal team during a lengthy investigation.
The Americans felt Sunderland was over-valued and also doubted whether they had as many assets on the academy side as they were led to believe.
Now Donald and his men are on the look-out for other investors.
He is also under pressure to sack boss Jack Ross but that would be a costly exercise.
We revealed last month that former England boss Sam Allardyce was willing to go back if the takeover could be completed.
Allardyce, 64, thinks he has one more top project in him — and has a backroom staff ready to come along.

Sounds like they were willing to spend 50m but on checking the value of assets found the club to be overpriced.Callumcafc said:“SUNDERLAND’S super-rich American bidders are pulling out of takeover talks over the valuation of the club.The League One sleeping giants have been told the shock news after MSD Partners spent over a month trying to finalise a deal.

Wonder if we stand a chance given our academy, stadium, location etc....
Or is £50m still £10m over what a buyer might pay.1 -

I of course don’t know the full background to the clubs current valuation and there’s probably only two or three people who know how the price is arrived at, at any given time.......Duchatalet, like everyone else, will have just a gut feeling I assume.
Would have thought a bid of £45,000,000 should clinch it given our current position, what do any of you guys think?0 -

There is never a moment when anybody knows what the price is. The preposterous europrat makes it up each time anybody asks the question, even if he deigns to respond to the enquiry. Then when he is asked for any more information, e.g. after a bidder's DD, the price changes, add in the recalcitrant directors' contingent liabilities and the rancid ringmaster spits his dummy and flounces out, denouncing all and sundry.SoundAsa£ said:I of course don’t know the full background to the clubs current valuation and there’s probably only two or three people who know how the price is arrived at any given time.......Duchatalet, like everyone else, will have just a gut feeling I assume.

Sunderland's current ownership always reminds me of how the spivs were at Charlton. roly was too arrogant to find out exactly what he was buying into, before he signed and paid up. The yanks aren't making the same mistake with the black cats.
Would Charlton be a comparable or better investment than Sunderland? Too flippin right it would. Can the current "owner" make a sound case for what it is he wishes to sell? Nigh on 3 years of drivel suggest strongly that he can't.
The president's "price" and a would be bidder's offer have roughly the same chance of coinciding as I have of fathering Kylie Minogue's children.5
