The Al Nayen bloke is worth $15 Billion

I bet he has got some seriously nice duct tape on his shoes.

I for one welcome our new Arab overlords.

In bits! We won!

The prospect of Bowyer, Jackson, Gallen and Taylor getting the deals they deserve now is honestly incredible. Was really fearing the worst and expecting all to be gone come the end of the season and going back to square one. Speechless but absolutely buzzing!

Championship side Charlton Athletic have been taken over by East Street Investments, subject to approval from the English Football League.

They have agreed to buy Charlton from Roland Duchatelet, who had been trying to sell the club since the end of 2017.

Tahnoon Nimer and Jonathan Heller - chairman and CEO of Abu Dhabi Business Development - join as directors, with Matt Southall becoming club chairman.

Charlton fans had held a series of protestsagainst Belgian Duchatelet.

Isnt the Royal Family out there fucking huge? - Seems to be one HH after another out there

His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer is Chairman at The Private Office of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nayhan in Abu Dhabi.

The Al Nayhan family are one of the six ruling families of the UAE and are the rulers of Abu Dhabi.

If Tahnoon Nimer is investing on his own behalf then that is one thing but if he is actually investing on behalf of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nayhan then that is a whole different ball game.

Time will tell but this all looks pretty good.

Please sign Lee up. And hopefully we have half a chance of keeping Lyle now!

First thing they need to do is sort out Lee's and the backroom staffs contract situation.

I don't care how much money this bloke has, as long as he stabilises the club and gives the staff what they need to work with I'll be happy.

I hope they don’t go silly with their spending - the likes of a Lewis Page deserve a chance.
