  • No time for a honeymoon for ESI as we has until the end of the month to have a squad that can garner enough points to keep us in this division. I personally think it will be more difficult than many imagine with new owners as this is a injury hit squad and with Taylor and Bonne out I can't see where the next goal is coming from unless two strikers of proven Championship quality come in this window. We are the Bournemouth of the Championship and it's difficult to stop the rot when you get more injuries every game.

    They have to read all of Grapevines posts before beginning, so another 3-4 months at least
    I think we'll hit the bottom three before getting out of it.
  • Hopefully they can now reveal what the crack was with their 'attempt' at buying us.
    I profoundly don't give a flying fuck about that 😊😊

    The whole six years would be an interesting read.
  • It (sort of) makes sense. Why else take a risk on buying Charlton, of all football clubs?

    The summerise its about The Thames Gateway Project and it being being an eco region, these guys are at the forefront of clean energy, hydroponics etc

    Charlton is in this catchment so a foot in the door to this project is worth gazillions

      Peter Varney was very much selling this aspect of our potential back in the day.
  • I can understand why His Excellency might fancy a punt at a football club and obviously Matt Southall has a football/sports background but what’s the angle on Jonathan Heller’s interest ?

  • If the Sheikh were involved in terms of financing,  would this really be a problem that Mansour is involved at Man City? Yes they are related but if it comes from his own personal wealth, would it be a problem?

    He's the CEO of HE's Company
  • Wonder if we might see some 'random' companies sponsoring us in the near future? HEs' company has a big umbrella covering what was it? 60 business'? Be one way round FFP wouldnt it?

    I’d be extremely surprised if this didn’t happen.

    He is from Bromley, went to Dulwich college 😁 you may well find he has a love for the club.

  • It would be nice to see the bottom right corner button updated soon :smile:
    Just to signify that he has gone for good! 

  • Flag.
  • Did anyone ever see the tv series "V"?

    Not saying that they are all lizards masquerading as humans....   BUT!

  • I thought the rules prevented owners sponsoring their own clubs to get around FFP or at least City and PSG got questioned on it.

    Still expect some "friends of friends"  company name to appear on the shirts.
