I don't know much about Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz al Saud. But what I do know is this: whenever he makes a decision about significant investment plans he's always straight on the blower to Alan Nixon first.
Our ownership model is so complicated I’d imagine buying us would be a nightmare. Far easier targets out there who might welcome the interest. Does anyone know exactly how our ownership is made up ? I don’t.
Abdullah bin Mosaad Al Saud Net Worth when he bought the Blades in 2013, The Telegraph reported he had a personal fortune of $18 billion. However, the Daily Mail reported him to have a net worth of only £198 million in 2020.
Someone on here was saying a month or so ago that the owners were looking to get out. Not that I believe that or the above but if they could turn a decent profit they might be tempted. Hope they are not though.
The owners aren’t running a charity Everything has its price Anybody paying enough to give the owners any return on their investments to date would be congenitally insane douchebag did that with the spivs Why anyone pays any attention to Nixon is baffling

It has never been confirmed but at the time of the takeover I was told by a reliable source that Friedman, Rosenfeld and Brener have 23% each and the others eg Carter, the Singapore group, have more than 5% each.
The wording of the takeover implied that there are others with less than 5% but who they are, other than possibly Methven is not known, if they exist at all.
Nixon is a notoriously unreliable source, happy to print any story given to him regardless of its authenticity so I'd say take with a large pinch of salt.

They were all over here on the way to Sheffield or UAE, and just cheering after we scored because the price had gone up. They had already seen the library, made an offer for the Lego Valley, and thought we may as well Cashout now.
Josh Friedman didn’t seem like a man looking to get out yesterday.
He didn’t and the comments by lifers who had the opportunity to speak with the owners yesterday were very encouraging. I wonder though if the raft of smaller percentage shareholders might be tempted to earn a quick buck. I like to think I follow what goes on reasonably closely but I don’t really know who owns what. I’m sure plenty do and I for one would be very grateful if someone could clarify things as best they can. Strange Nixon has decided to run with this. Hard to believe there’s much in it.

Look at what Henry wrote just two posts prior to yours.
The biggest obstacle remains Roland and his pie in the sky property valuations.
The club has changed hands multiple times since Roland first sold us, so it can’t be that huge an obstacle to a potential sale. It’s not a great situation to be in however.
Gavin Carter was listening to Charlton Live this morning - someone tweeted us about it which was the first I'd heard of it. So I invited Gavin to comment about it in the chat and he said it was the first he'd heard of it too.

Most credible investors wouldn’t touch us without the physical assets, it is a big obstacle.
That being said, this current lot are doing all the right things IMO.

I think and hope that it's bollox. The current owners and leadership team have got the club moving in the right direction - not faultless but the best we've had, in my opinion, since Richard Murray moved on. I'd love there to be a period of stability and progression rather than yet more upheaval.
Maybe the owners where over yesterday to discuss terms...who knows, the current owners seem okay but we haven't exactly moved forward on the pitch, last season was shocking

They didn't need to travel here to discuss terms or bring four of their children with them either.
It is still early days and on the field their tenure has not been a success as yet.
Lots of good things happening, the pitches, NJ, money spent on players, etc but the only KPI that matters is promotion.
So far this season, very good but while I'm optimistic there is a long way to go.
To be fair to Nixon, he doesn't say that our owners are looking to sell, or even that they've spoken to Prince Abdullah.
All the story says is that he is looking at buying an EFL club, with us being one on his radar. Nobody at Charlton may know anything about this, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's false.

Still think this story is nonsense.
