Is this a tactical tweet to curry favour with the fanbase i.e. "look at the ambition he has/ get Barclay on board as an investor/ our owner" and perhaps leverage any resultant supporter pressure and exploit the current critical feeling out there on social media.
Or am I'm just looking into it too much and it's an innocuous tweet from someone who has an interest in our club and thinks it would be a good signing?!!
Probably the latter as is normally the case with such things!
It's like those prospective Madrid or Barca presidents who promise to buy Beckham or Figo!
Why would you want to own a stake (likely a minority stake) in a football club that loses millions, is two promotions from the Premier League and doesn’t own its principle real estate assets?
Barclay threw his hat into the ring and never fully took it back. TS previously has said he's open to investment so you never know.
Barclay didnt proceed further because he said he didnt want to purchase the club without buying The Valley and SL.....iirc
Might be different though if he was only a minority shareholder or suchlike
Not entirely truthful to end the story there. He backed out because he didn't want to pay the price that was being demanded to include the Valley & SL. Not just because he didn't want to purchase the club without them.
But that's really the same thing. He would only buy the club with the Valley and SL but not at the silly price Southall agreed.

Correct. Remember Southall vindicated RD's asking price with his stupid offer and reckon RD is holding out for somewhere near that offer again. Still don't think RD has really worked out it was a completely empty offer yet
Probably nothing in it but it does seem a weird post from Barclay!
I dont think so. He clearly has an affinity with the club and is a football fan. I highly doubt it is anything more than speculation as to who we should sign, as many fans are doing on twitter.

Unless I'm mistaken I think the actual line he took at the time was that he was stepping aside to allow Thomas a free run. A pretty honourable thing to do at the time I thought.
Although knowing our luck if there is something in this the day after it goes through he will discover the crypto currency he has sunk his dough into has just gone under and he is skint 🤭
Well if he is suggesting we give Wiltshire an opportunity now then I suggest he does not quite have his finger on the pulse. We can do nothing before January can we.
I am delighted by anybody expressing an interest in the club but no matter the interest the world and his wife had 3 years to invest in Charlton. Mr Barclay didn’t. If he had the money to blow Duchatelet away why didn’t he?
What because he elected to use a consultant who was persona non grata?
Whose interests does that serve? Not his and not the clubs. Ah it is question of leverage. What leverage?
I will happily welcome Mr Barclay to the table. Will M.Duchâtelet? If so why? What’s changed?
"I haven’t been injured since before lockdown, and it was not a serious injury, I've trained every day. When I was at Bournemouth I was available for every single game, so I feel like it's a lazy answer because I can. Give me a chance, let me prove myself to you then, show you that I’m fit."

Free agent isn’t he ? So can sign outside of the window I think.

I wonder if he'd accept a pay as you play deal?
Try providing B.C. events, not just A.D. We don't just want to hear about modern times, you know.
