    Thought it was £150billion?
    That’s the family isn’t it, not necessarily our owners

    That's my understanding too.

    There is nothing to link the younger sheik except wishful thinking. 

    Why wishful thinking? The older one is worth 10 billion... Our guys work for his private office, the younger guy has less money and a different name
    Considerably more than 10bn I'd have thought (where do you get that figure from?), but as N01R4M says there's nothing in this statement issued so far to suggest the Sheikh is financially involved in the takeover.

    Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.
    We could just call him Stan.
  • From the ADBD website.

    Tahoon Nimer

    H.E. Tahnoon Nimer was born in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. H.E. Tahnoon Nimer completed his academic studies with several degrees in Business Administration and Communication in the United States as well as graduating from Universities of several other countries. Likewise, he developed his professional career in various government and semi-governmental entities, as well as private companies, amongst others, in the Municipality of Al Ain.

    H.E. Tahnoon Nimer, Chairman of The Private Office of H. H. Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, oversees the running of circa 60 companies, that fall under the umbrella of the Private Office. Furthermore, he is an honorary member of the Youth Chamber of Commerce Abu Dhabi, and was distinguished as Global Ambassador for Peace in 2018.

    A special mention is his remarkable commitment to supporting emerging businesses directly sponsored by H.H. Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan and other prominent Royal Family members, in the UAE as well as other countries.

    H.E. Tahnoon Nimer has strong ties with government, semi-government and multinational corporates not only in the GCC, but also in Europe, Africa, America, and Asia, with growing interest in Oman, KSA, Kuwait, Egypt, as well as some targeted European and Asian countries.

    From within Abu Dhabi Business Development, 'ADBD', he has fostered strategic alliances with cutting-edge tech and service entities which developed into worthy contributions for economic development in the region in diverse fields: Insurance, Oil & Gas, Sports, Television & Broadcasting, Leisure & Entertainment, Real Estate, Trading, Shipping, Transport and many others.

    His unrivalled knowledge of the GCC market and its participants' cultures, along with his professional portfolio and fluency in several languages, has gained him widespread recognition amongst diverse sectors. These are essential factors to achieve continuing success in developing and attracting business to the region.

    Jonathan Heller

    Jonathan held prominent positions in a series of strategic management and political roles in the UK nuclear industry from 1976 – 1985, later serving as Secretary-General of the European Atomic Forum in Brussels, representing the European nuclear industry with European Institutions, US State Department, Russia and other Former Soviet Union states. Jonathan also ran the UK atomic energy industry pension fund as well as becoming Head of European Development for Prudential Investments.

    In 1992, Jonathan established a consultancy advising large multinational pension sponsors in Europe. Its scope was later broadened to include large family offices and government/supranational entities on commodity-based direct transactions, the creation and monetization of commodity-backed financial instruments; the building of sophisticated structured product asset management platforms, and investment and financial reporting technology.

    Jonathan graduated from Christ Church, Oxford, as a Master of Arts in Philosophy and Modern Languages (First Class Honors). He speaks extensively at conferences and has published research and white papers on a range of subjects as well as teaching MBA courses at the Theseus-EDHEC Business School

    Brother of the Emir of Abu Dhabi who is aparrently worth 18bio... Nimer is Chairman of his investment vehical, Jonathan Heller is CEO... Unless they've just fancied a joint venture he is involved. Seems too much of a coincidence to me

  • I appreciate for many this is a different world but based on my limited experience Swords has it right. The name detailed in the Chairmans statement is the senior gentlemen.
    May I politely suggest however the key links are the two new Directors are respectively Chairman and CEO of Abu Dhabi Business Development office of the Sheik Said Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan  overseeing the running of 60 companies all of which will likely have received funding from the Al Nahyan family whether it be either or both of the individuals being discussed.
    Please understand it is a different commercial culture but one in my experience which is hugely trustworthy, very traditional and governed by the reputational respect for their family name and their fiscal culture.
    It is unlikely HE Tahnoon Nimer made any personal investment without reflecting on its impact on his role with ADBD.
    It is not unique to the world of finance in the Middle East. 
    Having lent money to countless Asian businesses in London where there were any range of "family" investments you were never completely certain of their funding sources. The comfort was in the event of any financial difficulty a little word or two in the right ears and any problems were quickly resolved.
    Now long out of touch with corporate law in Abu Dhabi my expectation is we may likely never know the precise nature of the new funding of the club. In such circumstances it may be healthier if we, for now at least withdraw from any detailed fiscal analysis.
    That the Chairman and CEO are both involved means East Street Investments and Panorama Magic General Contracting LLC  are likely merely vehicles for ADBD investment.
    The ADBD team includes an interesting and somewhat eclectic range of investment expertise. We can but wait and see how such talents address and serve the future and growth of our club.
    Our acquisition I suggest will be based on investment "returns" across tax, political, social, community and financial disciplines.  Abu Dhabi investment is based on a global community. It's own population reflects its long standing position as a melting pot for world trade.
    Concerns over UAE civil rights are valid but we need to reflect these are Emirates which have been transformed over the past 50 years. In all honesty with our own history and the worrying trends now evident across western society I am not sure we are in a position to lecture others.
    Please respect any new investors will from day one have invested more funds into our club than any other entity in our history. In simple terms they will have picked up the trading deficits of the club going back over a decade.
    It is debt they had no part in creating.
    Their very step into this space is worthy of significant goodwill.








    Thanks Grapevine.
    You say ' a different commercial culture but one in my experience which is hugely trustworthy, very traditional and governed by the reputational respect for their family name and their fiscal culture.'

    I take it you'd agree with me therefore that it's particularly important to get the name correct and to be careful not to wrongly identify the gentleman concerned. I do hope the EFL have the capability to do that also!
  • Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.

    Stan it is
    Thinking about it, Sheikh Stan would probably be a bit more respectful.

    So is this our new director or not?

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahnoon-nimer-298122170/
    Yes, judging by the fact he has CAFC in his interests and has been accepting fans' connection requests.
  • Aha, and LinkedIn is where I saw the pic of him and the younger Sheikh.

     I expect Mr Mike Blood the corporate lawyer who set up ESI  https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12312818/persons-with-significant-control And whose profile describes him as;
    "Advising clients from PLCs, owner managed businesses and start-ups in all corporate transactions, financing, members agreements and structuring. He also has specialist knowledge and expertise in advising a range of clients in the sporting, media and digital sectors";
    Will be fielding any queries satisfactorily the EFL may have 🤞.

    Sorry, you are correct... Haven't got a clue who

    Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan

     Is or what he's  worth but he is definitely involved

    Yes, we seem to agree that this is the older Sheikh who has nothing officially to do with CAFC.
    But many feel could actually be the main source of funding.
    I don't wish to rude, but I would describe him as having slightly bulbous eyes.
  • Scoham said:

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/tahnoon-nimer-298122170/
    Yes, that is our new director, who will be officially running Charlton, together with co director Jonathan Heller and the Chairman Matt Southall.
    (These three may or may not be providing the funding).
  • ADBD sounds like a crap tribute act for AC:DC
    Or ABBA
  • I think it's also worth reminding ourselves that we are in a relegation battle, rather than promotion charge. 
  • Some kind of football rambling from the great man.back in 2017?

    Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.
    We could just call him Stan.
    Don’t forget, he’s a “His Excellency”
    So it’s:

    His Excellency Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon ANahyan.

    We could call him “Charlton Hestan”.  :)
    I think it's 'His Highness' - he is a Royal.

    Tahnoon Nimer (our new owner) is 'His Excellency'
