Anyone know who the bloke next to Elliott is in the Newsshoper photo? Pretty sure it isn't him but looks a bit like Usmanov - owns 30% of Arsenal (and is looking to sell those shares) and 30% of Rangers and is the business partner of Moshiri, who is the majority shareholder at Everton, a deal brokered by Keith Harris.
Don't think it's him but not too dissimilar.3 -
I think you've got that 100% the wrong way round. Why fork out £7M if you have no need to do so. Would you ?Davidsmith said:

FWIW, I've heard this morning from other decent sources that the rumours regarding the structure of the deal (landlease, cut on transfers and funding via share issue) have no credibility. Which seems like good news to me.
Maybe their Lawyers are watching to see what happens.
Either way you would assume as a group of seven substantially wealthy individuals ,that Roland's actions are being monitored.
Particularly when at least one major creditor in that group would do a deal to stay involved.
Unless they are still scrambling for funds as they have been for a year.
If I was buying something and was told you can have added protection (insurance) for £7M, there would only be one answer.
In fact I wouldn't shell out an extra £50 if I deemed it unnecessary.1 -

No contact would mean the loans will be rolled over - there would only be contact if either the loans were to be repaid or a part buy/part lease deal was on the table.

as stated before , if you needed to borrow £20mn and the Lender wanted first charge as security , then you might have to pay off £7mn to get the £20mn.Covered End said:

Or unlike Roland you might have done your DD and want to put your own Debt in and want first charge rather than unsecured debt.
My point is if they don't need to pay off charges why has it taken over a year for anyone to buy the club, you can only assume because they are not mega rich.0 -
Murray is a non-exec and there is no reason he would be involved with the detail of the deal between the buyer and seller, apart from being mine host at The Valley.LargeAddick said:

For understandable reasons, the ex-directors look at the situation through the prism of their loans, but if you take out Murray’s element we are “only” talking about £4.4m between six people. In the context of the deal that’s about ten per cent.
IMO their significance is that RD hasn’t wanted to meet the liability and the buyer/s haven’t seen what the hell they have go to do with them. That’s why they have been a problem in any deal, rather than just because people want to borrow against the assets or take leases, if indeed they do.
There is also no reason to suppose Maurice Hatter or Dave Hughes wouldn’t agree to leases and they are £1.5m, although I defer to anyone who knows better.0 -
You seem to have ignored the fact that they may not be willing to pay £48M for a club worth less than half that ?Davidsmith said:

Surely it has to be a done deal by now. There is absolutely no other reason Muir & co would turn up two games running wearing a Charlton scarf.
I expect we are just waiting for official clearance from the Football League.
