Andrew Barclay tweeting about signing Jack Wilshere. Has Thomas been seeking further investment while he was over here last week. ?

This is that insane, rare beast: the double rumour. Godspeed31

His fitness record would match the usual Charlton profile certainly.22

Andrew Barcley, "come on down".
You know it makes sense0 -
I did hear a whisper that TS might be meeting a prospective investor whilst in London last week.
But I'm DEFINITELY not ITK.17 -
Sandgaard will eventually need further investment from outside if he’s losing a million pounds per month like Duchatelet was.
Duchatelet had the advantage of selling assets to other clubs like Gomez, Lookman, Grant etc.
Sandgaard does not have that luxury as there is no one in the current squad that would be sold for a million plus at present. The only fallback is a possible sell on fee if Nick Pope ever left Burnley for a 20 million plus fee. (20 percent sell on fee)
However would Barclay be that individual to invest when Sandgaard does not own the Valley or Soarrows Lane.7 -

Barclay threw his hat into the ring and never fully took it back. TS previously has said he's open to investment so you never know.

Why would you want to own a stake (likely a minority stake) in a football club that loses millions, is two promotions from the Premier League and doesn’t own its principle real estate assets?8

Barclay didnt proceed further because he said he didnt want to purchase the club without buying The Valley and SL.....iircEricBanterna said:Barclay threw his hat into the ring and never fully took it back. TS previously has said he's open to investment so you never know.
Might be different though if he was only a minority shareholder or suchlike4 -
Maybe Barclay fancies playing bass in Sandgaard's new band ... "Led Balloon"?se9addick said:Why would you want to own a stake (likely a minority stake) in a football club that loses millions, is two promotions from the Premier League and doesn’t own its principle real estate assets?20 -
Wilshere can’t happen until January, we don’t have room in our squad. I thought we used up all 22 spaces (or however many we’re allowed).2

Is this a tactical tweet to curry favour with the fanbase i.e. "look at the ambition he has/ get Barclay on board as an investor/ our owner" and perhaps leverage any resultant supporter pressure and exploit the current critical feeling out there on social media.
Or am I'm just looking into it too much and it's an innocuous tweet from someone who has an interest in our club and thinks it would be a good signing?!!
Probably the latter as is normally the case with such things!

This should be good for 500 pages.22

Not entirely truthful to end the story there. He backed out because he didn't want to pay the price that was being demanded to include the Valley & SL. Not just because he didn't want to purchase the club without them.golfaddick said:

Thank you Andrew, we needed a replacement for the rumours thread to take us through to the January window. Great work.10

It's a typo.
He meant "Charlton Life should offer Wilshire a line"

Although there may be some truth to his interest, it does seem to be a bit of a fishy rumour.
Has he responded to anyone asking him about his interest in CAFC or is he being Koi about it?5 -

If Barclay is seeing the negative social media postings from fans, who knows if he's contacted TS with a proposition, or possiblythe other way round? It's not beyond all realms.
Seem to remember from reading up on him before, that he and his family are very private when it comes to dough and business.0 -
Lovely jubbly this thread is taking shape nicely with a fish pun early doors and definitely has mileage 😉,Callumcafc said:Although there may be some truth to his interest, it does seem to be a bit of a fishy rumour.

I can see you are casting your net far to see what sort of catch you can achieve... 1
