Richard Cawley: The Tahnoon Nimer Instagram account is genuine. I know a few Charlton fans were wondering.

WE have an LGBT team?!Henry Irving said:
Very interesting and very positive.Sage said:
I think they aim to bring all aspects of the club together: the first team, academy, women’s team, community trust, etc. How they plan to do that exactly, I don’t have a clue. But I think that Southall has a plan and ideas to do just that. For me, that’s what is ‘strange’. Just how feasible and successful it will actually be, will be interesting and exciting at the same time. They certainly have the money to make it work. Building the training ground development to have it all integrated together I feel is a key part of this.LoOkOuT said:I'd like to think that the "strange" ideas have to do with ambitions to devote money and resources to the women's team to elevate both the women's and the men's to the upper echelons, as per the Sheik's statements... No doubt Bowyer would find that strange but not bad... Probably not, and we don't even know the Sheik's involved, but I'm choosing that to cling to!
With that, I hope it allows for more vacancies and opportunities for people in the community who are qualified. I know the trust have agreed a big contract with someone I am not prepared to name, but the future work and plans are interesting and possibly in years to come the new training ground could play a part in that.
Overall, it will bring the club even closer to the community and I think they know if they can tap into that side, we have a huge area to improve and make ourselves a real force.
I’m just looking forward to it being announced and we can all move forward in a positive direction. The sooner that happens, the sooner Bowyer can also get the help he needs for the squad and us and the club can really kick on together.
We must have a bit more patience, but it’s going to be exciting once it happens.
I hope you are correct @sage as I've long wanted the Community Trust (note that TN posted their badge on Insta) and the women's team, the LGBT+, the deaf team et al to be integral parts of the Charlton Athletic, not add ons that receive no funding but are used for good publicity when it suits the owners.0 -
RedChaser said:Off topic I know but have @Charenteaddick and @OggyRed thought about forming Cornish Addicks Supporters group then one of you can attend the Fan's Forum metings.............Oh hang on a minute 😉
Then there's also WheresMeTicket, if he's still in Cornwall?
And the fella on here with his four 2nd cousins in Redruth.
Anyone else down here in Kernow?
We're getting the band together.

For the past hour sky sports have been saying on the bit that goes across the screen that the EFL are still investigating any link between our potential new owners and man.city.
ESI are denying any link and are confident deal will go ahead.9 -
Feck me. I hope the incompetence of the EFL rattles on for a bit and there really is a link between us and Man City.4

Ah, that was Bowyer's "strange" thing - we are going to be City's feeder clubShootersHillGuru said:Feck me. I hope the incompetence of the EFL rattles on for a bit and there really is a link between us and Man City. 0 -
"EFL concerned about connections to Mansour City ownership"
oh FFS what a bunch of preening ignorant fucktards
as if only one family in AD is wealthy?
could those gravy train riding arsewipes even find Abu Dhabi on a map?
Bournemouth weren't dicked around by the PL cos their major shareholder is russian, no "ooh could it be a Chelsea connection?"
they didn't even blink when Moshiri took over Everton and he was Usmanov's (then significant stakeholder in Arsenal) right hand.
ESI are getting buggered cos the EFL know they're seen as a shambling joke and we Charlton supporters put our heads above the parapet and disturbed their permanent lunch break with irritating irrelevance like the future of the club. The then incumbent Chief trough snouter told us what we thought we wanted to hear and promptly legged it after doing the square root of naff all about anything to be succeeded by who knows whom who has done even less. In a fit of juvenile pique they're dragging it out, leaking dribs and drabs of unattributed deflection, flim flam and plain bullshit, rather than getting on with it to the limits of their capability to make it and us go away and be quiet, cos they're too dense to know what's even best for themselves. It's too late to try and pretend you know what you're at or even care, you parasites! Arse!

Im surprised the media arent talking more about the takeover seeing its got the potential to make us one of the biggest clubs in the countryblackpool72 said:For the past hour sky sports have been saying on the bit that goes across the screen that the EFL are still investigating any link between our potential new owners and man.city.

E.g. with money will come the expectation from the media for us to be competing in the Premier League2 -
If you would have told me a month ago that the EFL would be investigating links between out new owners and Sheikh Mansour, I would probably have asked for some of whatever you were smoking!9

I think this either means that HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahya and his money are 100% involved OR the EFL are a bunch of racist fuckwitsblackpool72 said:For the past hour sky sports have been saying on the bit that goes across the screen that the EFL are still investigating any link between our potential new owners and man.city.

I would rather have had nothing ever said about a takeover at all, and instead get the news once it's EFL approved.
Why did we have that announcement on Sky Sports at all?3 -
The first option being true doesn't mean the second one can't be true too.cafcdave123 said:

I don't see how the EFL can block the takeover on conflict of interest grounds without facing hugely expensive litigation from both the buyers and Roland himself. I doubt the EFL having the stomach (or resources) for that kind of fight.0

I think the EFL would save themselves a lot of bother if they just gave stage updates, from the horse's mouth, rather than absolutely nothing3

My guess:
ESI waiting on removal of BETDAQ as an official sponsor as Takaful rules mean they can't take money (directly) from a gambling firm. Which could be the 'strange' thing Bowyer was talking about.

So you think the delay is at ESI's doing? Nothing to do with due dilligence?Chrispy51 said:My guess:

Yes, but if no detail then all you could get is 'almost there' - 'nearly there' - 'very nearly there' and so on.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

I wondered that.
My best guess is that the EFL leaks like a sieve so they preferred to release the news themselves.0 -
Strictly speaking we have a LGBT+ friendly team, Charlton Invicta, affiliated to the clubjimmymelrose said:

When this gets over the line my liver will not be able to cope... I must try and hang on for the Prem...2

Just seen a top Charlton face in Tesco, Bickley.
He said nothing about the takeover as just as he was about to tell all his mrs turned up.
So annoying2
