    Not necessarily about funding, more about a conflict of interest. 

    Scenario - May 2021, last game of the season, Charlton guaranteed to finish 7th, Man City away at Charlton, needing 3 points to guarantee the title, you can see why they need to avoid any future issue!
    But that's about one owner doing the other a favour. I would suggest that is more likely where the two respective owners are not in any way connected, otherwise suspicion is raised automatically.

    Didn't/doesn't stop convenient 0-0 draws happening on the last day of Serie A! 
    That's true, but surely you are more likely to do a relative a favour? I cannot imagine Mike Ashley getting a call from David Gold and doing the same. The suspicion may be there but it would be nigh on impossible to prove. Although thinking about it, wouldn't the Premier League be involved in that too as it's potentially their issue rather than the EFL. 

    There's also the possibility of Man City giving us first refusal on players and vice versa. 

    Not saying either of the above would happen but you would have to imagine it's something they have to consider. I doubt the conflict of interest is solely down to the source of the funds. 
    Not convinced about relationships being the issue - it would be funds from the same source that would concern them.

    If my eldest bought Charlton and my youngest bought Palace (to liquidate them) then I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem as long as they could prove they were not both using my money.
    Been another good year for Bet365?

    She's had worse years i guess.

    Did a bit of digging on this person - here are my notes:

    Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is top o the tree he is estimated to be worth of $15.0 billion (April 2011)[1][2]

     

    He has a son - Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan – found two of them:

     

    Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan (number 1)

     

    He has been pictured numerous times on Instagram with Tahoon he is older than the second guy.

    Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan (number 1)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okbV1L8kdp0

     

     

    one photo of them both together on Instagram feed. Nov 2017 referred to as Sheikh Tahnoun bin Saeed someone commented “Pray Abu Saeed

    NOTE THIS POINT: Tahnoon but referred to by Nimer multiple times as Tahnoun a mistake multiple times?

     

    No he is indeed correct: well at least for one article I can find:

    https://www.khaleejtimes.com/uae/sheikh-dr-saeed-bin-tahnoun-al-nahyan-unveils-cosmeSurges-17th-clinic

     

    I then found this article which is interesting:

    https://www.albawaba.com/business/over-500-billion-worth-family-wealth-pass-next-generation-mena-1322613

     

    Zulfiqar Ghadiyali, CEO of the Private Office of Sheikh Tahnoon bin Saeed bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, said: “As the whole world and the economic landscape changes, we also need to look at the new trends, the tech-related disruptions. Are we ready?”

     

    Hang on?  Which one then? Old or young?

     

    Zulfiqar Ghadiyali,

    http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/3957322

    In his role as CEO of the private office of H.H Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, His Excellency promotes the Al Nahyan’s family values, with a broader outlook of an interconnected globalized, more tolerant and diverse world.

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/h-e-mr-zulfiquar-z-ghadiyali-4717b5b/?originalSubdomain=ae

     

    They both cant be CEO of the same thing but for different companies can they?

     

    Lets look:

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/h-e-mr-zulfiquar-z-ghadiyali-4717b5b/

    Director at Private office HH Sheikh Zayed bin Saeed bin zayed Al Nahyan

    This is not the same as Nimer – mystery solved.

    6 other linkedin members:

    Jacco van Seventer 3rd degree connection 3rd

    The Private Office of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan

    Stockport, United Kingdom

     

    Definity confirmed that Nimer works for

    Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan (number 1) also referred to as Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan

     

    Who is Tahnoon AL NASIRAT then? In the UK you need to provide all sorts to start a business, Passport or ID is a requirement, so we can trust he wouldn’t be added as a director without confirmation I believe?

    Companies house clearly shows him as being Syrian?

    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/A2Td6bvICZZp3D12qyqQEa0AHdI/appointments

    Nationality

    Syrian

    Country of residence

    United Arab Emirates

    Occupation

    Director

     

    But his website contradicts this?

    https://adbd.ae/

    H.E. Tahnoon Nimer was born in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates

    Born as in an made up name? could Nasirat be his birth name but he goes by another?

    This website was made in around 8th June 2014

    https://web.archive.org/web/20140608214730/https://adbd.ae/

    looks a lot different. – who owns this site?

    Jacco van Seventer simple Whois shows us this.

     

    So far everything seems to check out.

     

    25th may 2018 site is taken down with a “coming soon sign” – then is changed to a wordpress site. 4th April 2019 I belie that’s the site we have now.

     

    Why is this relevant? Jonathan Heller came along at this time.

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-heller-b726582/

     

     Heller is very much all over this Charlton purchase he is director in the following companys:

    Back to Tahnoon AL NASIRAT what else could I find? NOTHING? Only Charlton related.

     

    Wealth of Tahnoon AL NASIRAT- Unknown – I cant find anything about him never mind wealth.

     

    Wealth of H.E. Tahnoon Nimer – Unknown - – I cant find any estimates.

     

    Wealth of Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan (number 1) - Unknown – I cant find any estimates

     

    Summery:

     

    It is my opinion that Al Nasirat changed his name at some point when he moved to UAE – to Tahnoon Nimer, This isn’t uncommon in the middle east. (it was highlighted to me that perhaps his mum and dad were Syrian hence he is Syrian DUH) Another option is the name with company’s house is FAKE, doubtful but you never know. He is a close associate to the royal family specifically Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan. We know the royal family are worth a fair bit however how much of that has trickled down? Looking at his Instagram he certainly seems to get about and his son is very well educated. I think he is 50% real, the other 50% could have been fake it till you make it mentality. Prior to 2006 he was involved with http://www.emirates-focus.com cant do a wayback on this site, but first cache was 2011. Other than that he was a ghost when it comes to the online stuff.

    Do you have any evidence to back this up? why is his nationality Syrian? also, have you found any evidence of his time in the US? It would be very helpful.

    I'm going to assume you're English and so are your parents. If you'd been born in Abu Dhabi to your English parents what nationality would you class yourself as?

    I did similar yesterday, I am fairly certain he is genuine.

    You know he could have been born in the UAE to Syrian parents.

    Al Nasirat to Nimer or Nemer as it is sometimes spelt (that poster in Goa) is the bit I was most unsure of. I would assume his name change may have been a way to leave his past behind him. An understandable move for people of wealth from Syria given the political situation there over the last twenty plus years. 

    He could actually be Tahnoon Nimer Al Nasirat. 

    A bit of research shows there was a refugee camp once called the "Al Nasirat Camp" but that appears to be to do with Palestine... Couldn't find much more than that though.

    I think it is very important given the latest shit we are living through to fact check all this crap - I won't waste my time with Matts crew. I'm still not convinced or have seen any evidence that Nimer has substantial wealth - Just because you work for people or associated with them doesn't mean you have the same wealth. I also can't find any mention that the family he works for wants to get into football except the young guy - which let's face it, we are now 4 levels down the ladder. how much can he have?

    if you look at Zulfiqar Ghadiyali, he is proud of his Uni in the US on linked in - I would have thought Nimer would have similar. it is a strange thing IMO - you can create a website and write whatever you want about yourself - hardly fact-checked.

    Doesn't he manage their finances though? Not sure what the rules are out there, but doesn't he just invest thier money to make a return? Meaning, he's basically worth whatever they're willing to trust him with.

    There's also this guy, Zulfiquar GhadiyaliAbout-me who seems to have a smiler role to Nimer. 

    I can't see where Nemer/Nimer has his own wealth. I'd guess he's investing on behalf of  Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan and/or Sheikh Tahnoon bin Saeed bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan. 


  • Please don't get hung up on Arabic names. All Arabs have a chain of names rather than the English given name/surname structure. This chain of names has five distinct parts & any individual can choose to use all, or various parts of this chain to refer to themselves in different circumstance. So it is highly likely that Tahnoon Al Nasirat and Tahnoon Nimer are the same person; he is just using different parts of his chain of names for different purposes.

    The confusion between Tahnoon & Tahnoun can also be ignored, as when translating from Arabic to English it is based on the sound of the name, not any particular spelling; so both Tahnoon & Tahnoun are correct English translations of the same Arabic name.

    Again there is no evidence to support that other than items he has written himself. Again look at Zulfiqar Ghadiyali job description when he held the same as Nimer but for another member of the fam.:

    CEO
    Company Name
    Private Office of Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan
    Dates Employed Apr 2017 – Dec 2019
    Employment Duration 2 yrs 9 mos
    Location Abu Dhabi
    Overall in charge of Business and international collaborations


    This is Nimers:

    Chairman
    Company Name
    The Private Office of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohd. Al Nahyan
    Dates Employed Apr 2006 – Present
    Employment Duration 14 yrs
    Location Al Ain, Abu Dhabi

    We support emerging businesses expanding into the United Arab Emirates. Sponsorships directly with HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan.

    Strategically we partner directly at government levels in many different countries and territories. Oman, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Egypt, Kuwait and many parts in Africa. Filtering strategic alliences gives us the cutting edge focus and direction.

    Many strategic alliences have succesfully been formed in sectors as Insurance, Oil & Gas, sports and television, Aviation, commodities, leisure, shipping and other transport, to name but few.

    The second largest Arab economy the UAE prides itself in diversifying its economy away from just oil. Non oil sectors now account for 70% of UAE’s GDP. More than 5000 UK Companies are now established in the UAE. Our diverse economy is continually growing and expanding. We are the entry route to other GCC countries. We seek, develop, and capitalise on new opportunities.


    Neither have any mention of managing family funds.

    Can he then provide visual proof of this? Nimer cant seem to.

    True he could write whatever he wanted, but i think it's highly unlikely a guy over here in a senior role at a private office for a Sheikh isn't well educated.

    It's been discussed on this site before that many of the guys involved, Nimer, Hirst, Heller, van Seventer have all done a fair degree of cleaning up their internet presence. There isn't much to be found about many of them really, just bits and pieces.

    That's all fine, look I'm not trying to discredit the man here, i just want to try and put together Facts that we can see. You have to speculate and dig to get that sometimes.

    • Ghadiyali website and the ADBD site shows there is a serious lack of web design talent in the UAE
