    Nice of the Daily Mail to be it's usual accurate self
    "The composition of Charlton’s ownership has never been entirely clear, with reports property development tycoon Ken Cash helps bankroll the regime headed by City financier Michael Slater.

    Football dinosaur Ken Bates may be 82 later this year, but the fevered speculation doing the rounds among the top brass of the Football League is that Bates is interested in buying Championship club Charlton.
    Bates is still a board member at Leeds United but will resign as chairman on June 30 to begin a three-year term as president, having sold the club to Dubai-based finance house GFH Capital last December.
    The composition of Charlton’s ownership has never been entirely clear, with reports property development tycoon Ken Cash helps bankroll the regime headed by City financier Michael Slater.

    One Charlton shareholder is Tony Jiminez, who had a controversial spell running Newcastle player recruitment with Dennis Wise — a close ally of Bates.

    Please no. Leeds fans absolutely hate him.

    He will put ticket prices up and sell any half decent player at the first sign of a bid.

    Maybe it's a wheeze to scare the Charlton fans into begging TJ and MS to stay...

    Charles Sale...according to the page itself.

    Perhaps they meant previously unheard of multi-billionairre Kevin Bates, to go with the Ken Cash in the story!

    It woukd certainly change the picture on communication and interaction with the fans. Lots more expletives both ways, I imagine.

    Kevin Cash is so illusive people think he's called Ken - Genius

    Jeez, another one that can't be trusted as far as you could throw him.

    And I think we would have to close CL down as I could see him launching lawsuits every three days !

    However, a bit of perspective. It seems unlikely to me.
  • The fact the journo has drawn a link between TJ and Dennis Wise as if to add credence to the story, while I believe it's been mentioned on here before the two have had a major falling out (was there legal action involved?) suggests that the reporter isn't "in the know" as much as he's letting on.

    Seems quite plausible to me

    But since the takeover its been a whole load of reports and rumours and contention

    Who knows

    I dont know enough about ken bates to make a decision

    No way Bates would pay the sort of money the directors are looking for.
