Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but TN's most recent instagram post is in Budapest (googled the sign behind him), so makes sense about the Wizzair talks but probably completely unrelated to us. Lets hope his next stop is South East London
I'd like to think that the "strange" ideas have to do with ambitions to devote money and resources to the women's team to elevate both the women's and the men's to the upper echelons, as per the Sheik's statements... No doubt Bowyer would find that strange but not bad... Probably not, and we don't even know the Sheik's involved, but I'm choosing that to cling to!
I think they aim to bring all aspects of the club together: the first team, academy, women’s team, community trust, etc. How they plan to do that exactly, I don’t have a clue. But I think that Southall has a plan and ideas to do just that. For me, that’s what is ‘strange’. Just how feasible and successful it will actually be, will be interesting and exciting at the same time. They certainly have the money to make it work. Building the training ground development to have it all integrated together I feel is a key part of this.
With that, I hope it allows for more vacancies and opportunities for people in the community who are qualified. I know the trust have agreed a big contract with someone I am not prepared to name, but the future work and plans are interesting and possibly in years to come the new training ground could play a part in that.
Overall, it will bring the club even closer to the community and I think they know if they can tap into that side, we have a huge area to improve and make ourselves a real force.
I’m just looking forward to it being announced and we can all move forward in a positive direction. The sooner that happens, the sooner Bowyer can also get the help he needs for the squad and us and the club can really kick on together.
We must have a bit more patience, but it’s going to be exciting once it happens.

Very interesting and very positive.
I hope you are correct @sage as I've long wanted the Community Trust (note that TN posted their badge on Insta) and the women's team, the LGBT+, the deaf team et al to be integral parts of the Charlton Athletic, not add ons that receive no funding but are used for good publicity when it suits the owners.
I reckon he’s just showing off his new purchase, not necessarily to charlton fans but other businessman on there that must follow him, scrolling through his followers I found a ‘saeed Nayhan’ which I can only assume is one of the ruling family.
Is that a bit like showing off you've just bought a Austin Mondeo, keeping it quiet and hiding it would be more appropriate in case everyone takes the piss
All those groups proudly carry the name of Charlton Athletic and should be under the umbrella of the club not just in name. I as a supporter am proud of all their respective achievements. Let’s hope @Sage is on the money as it were.
His Insta is a private account and you have to request access. I did and he’s granted access. If you look back through his posts going back before we got wind about his interest in us, it’s clear that it’s a genuine account. I think he’s in London at the moment
Me too mate, reckon South Kensington to be precise

If anyone would like to have an interesting (but totally irrelevant) insight to the amount of wealth in the higher echelons of life in Abu Dhabi, here's a bit of information that I thought was interesting when I first found out about it.
The Kempinski hotel group claims to be the oldest luxury hotel group in the world. Their properties serve some of the most affluent visitors in some of the richest locations in the world, including Vienna, Moscow, Geneva, Beijing, Singapore and Cairo. They're expensive (example: one night, in January, in the Red Square Suite in Moscow can set you back £1,300 (includes buffet breakfast)). They have four properties in the United Arab Emirates, including the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, and their sole Abu Dhabi property, the Emirates Palace.
If you want to book one night in the poshest accommodation at the Emirates Palace, you can currently book their best flexible rate which is just over £6,800 for the night. Unfortunately, that doesn't include breakfast.
But what's the thing that makes this hotel stand out as catering more for the wealthiest people on the planet than most other "posh" hotels? Nine years ago, it installed the world's first gold vending machine. That is, a vending machine that is entirely made of 24ct gold. And what does it dispense? Gold.
It operates 24 hours a day. So, any time, day or night, when you find yourself short of gold (and it's happened to each of us, hasn't it?), you can use the vending machine to buy gold bars or coins.
I’ve stayed in two Kempinski. First in Gozo, quite by accident, it was a Thomas Cook hotel & they bought it before our holiday. It was the dogs danglies but we couldn’t afford to eat there lol. Then in Budapest, courtesy of Theo Paphitis. When Millwall played Ferencvaros we stayed there with the team. Beautiful and I had breakfast with Butch Wilkins. Lovely fellow.

there was a job just came up on FreeNow.
reckon TN doing a bit of sightseeing 😂
He probably deals with the EFL every week.
He says it's definitely happening.
So that means it's off
It is either
A. Checking out the location for the new ground at East Street
B. Tony Cahones planning to throw himself in the Thames now the deal has been confirmed
C. Nothing to do with CAFC at all but all about the planning enquiry regarding new housing along the rive.
With that, I hope it allows for more vacancies and opportunities for people in the community who are qualified. I know the trust have agreed a big contract with someone I am not prepared to name, but the future work and plans are interesting and possibly in years to come the new training ground could play a part in that.

They asked who's calling and I said "Bob" - they then said "Bob who?" to which I replied "Bob Munro". They then said "Bob Munro who?"
Make of that what you will.
It means he won't invest

Woo, oh oh
Never been but @UEAAddick really liked Budapest as a city to visit.
To buy the club Ujpest
That’s what’s strange, he’s buying the network off Roland and going to give it another go.
