    They don’t sound very American.
    Sounds like 2 Brits and a bloke from the UAE. A trio of rich CEO's lol. Must have come in out of nowhere

    How long before we get cringy fans with tea towels on their heads being interviewed outside the ground?

    It did occur to me to wonder whether the inflated £60M price tag leak was made in order to be able to announce "reduced for a quick Black Friday Sale" at the end of this week...

    But then (my) sanity returned, and I remembered all the previous evidence that Roland knows the price of everything and the value of nothing - and realised that the next news will probably be that the sale is off because the buyers will have discovered they will STILL be liable for the former directors' £7M loans!!

    For pity's sake Roland, accept you're not going to get back all the money you and Katrien wasted between you, during years of mismanagement.  Set a realistic "priced to sell" valuation and stick to it, and get CAFC off your hands before our traditional post-Christmas slump takes us down to the relegation zone and halves the value it currently has.

    Just sell the club and bugger off!

    I'm putting a tenner on this. I was born by the river. In a little tent...

    Well lucky I'm not the type to say I told you so...
  • Unreal!!! Buzzing for tomorrow!!!

    Heard a rumour that it might actually be a lot closer than we think.

    Are we talking weeks or months (or years)?
    Hours...???

    He's not the owner though.

    Linked to him for sure but he's not a named owner.

    How much is Nimer worth?

    He's part of the same family as the City owner, so you never know.

    Thank god I'm working from home today. Who knows what the future holds with this new mob but right now I don't care. We've earned this feeling after years of being shat on and should enjoy it for however long it lasts. 

    Long term deal for Bows and Jacko please  and lets see how far they can take us with some proper backing. COYR

    I am not at work today but have to do an important work call at 2pm and pick up my son half an hours drive away at 5pm. Fuck knows how I’m still going to be sober enough to do those two things.

    Finally.

    thanks to all everyone who has applied pressure to Duchatelet over the years of his incompetent tenure as owner. 

    YES!

    Jonathon Heller and Tahnoon Nimer are Chairman and CEO of The Private Office of His HighnessSheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan... I think its safe to say he is the money man behind this

    They both work for the private office of the same person and that person is named in the club statement. Surely they would not be allowed to use his name otherwise  
  • My sources are telling me its a DONE DEAL
  • Does that mean Thomas Driesen has fucked off then?
