    Do we really need 6 posts quoting posters on another forum?

    hilarious
    Do you mind? It's comments like this that clog up the thread.
    Classic Charlton Life banter; makes me want to put my head through a wall
    Cheer up mate

    Do you want the catch-up or not? It's much easier for me to stop now. I was only trying to be helpful. Seems like some people can't contain their hilarious outbursts and need everyone to know exactly what they're thinking at all times. That's what the main thread is for.

    It's a good idea for a thread like this but no point getting annoyed at posters for posting on a thread on a forum

    Well unless the shark is a brilliant cyclist you'd have to say that's the triathlon in the bag.

    13:08 - @SheikhYurKory - Charlton Life:

    "(Peter Storrie) Was working for Anglo-French Businessman in December 2021 as per this article. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/the-surprise-position-peter-storrie-now-holds-after-pompey-exit-3507531"


    The article sources an interview with Peter Storrie on "Callum's Football Broadcast"

    I advise you to read the article, but the general facts are detailed here:

    • Storrie advises and does consultancy for an Anglo-French businessman 
    • The businessman is Joseph Oughourlian
    • Oughourlian owns Millonarios and RC Lens
  • Thanks for the updates. And boiled piss.

    12:56 - Richard Cawley - Twitter:

    "Sounds as if Peter Storrie coming in as new #cafc CEO. The plot thickens.

    Hearing that from sources at the club."
    14:32 - Richard Cawley - Twitter:

    "Peter Storrie has been working as an advisor for Joseph Oughourlian. Not had time to check if still the case, but JO's company did or does own RC Lens. He was also reported to have a 20 per cent stake in Calcio Padova. Also reports that he has invested in Real Zaragoza.

    14:46 - Matt Slater - The Athletic:

    "Thomas Sandgaard is in talks with the US businessman Marc Spiegel over a potential sale, which could result in legal action being taken against the Dane by a rival group he had already agreed a deal with. (Methven and Co)"

    "
    Sandgaard, a US-based Danish businessman, had been set to sell 90 per cent of the League One club to a consortium led by former Sunderland director Charlie Methven for £8.5million."

    "
    But Sandgaard is now in talks with Spiegel, the co-founder of an Atlanta-based recycling business (Rubicon), who is willing to pay a higher price for the club."

    "A Spiegel-takeover would see the former West Ham United and Portsmouth chief Peter Storrie brought into the club as CEO (as per Rich Cawley), with the former agent Jon Smith set to join in a technical director role."

    "Spiegel would likely serve as the club’s CFO."

    The article then quotes Methven's statement and Sandgaard's interview with the SLP 

    It finishes, "
    Charlton Athletic have been contacted for comment."

    CAUTION: Please note that this email has come from an external source.


    All,
    I am delighted to confirm the appointment of Peter Storrie as the club’s Chief Executive Officer.
    Storrie boasts a wealth of experience in football having held senior positions at a variety of clubs including in the Premier League, with West Ham United and Portsmouth, and abroad, including in Italy, Columbia (sic) and Australia.
     
    Peter has been working in football for many years and has a lot of valuable experience. He’ll provide senior leadership at The Valley and will manage the running of the business. It is important to me to have someone as experienced as Peter fill this role as we are positioning ourselves for potential new investments and setting the club up for future success in the medium to long term. Peter is hired as a consultant and will be on-site and available most of the time.
     
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
     
     
    Best regards,

    Thomas Sandgaard

    I like this thread. I would avoid posting what is said on ‘the other forum’ because it is conjecture, like most of the posts on here. They know no more than the posters here so it’s likely to clog this thread up.

    As for this info's credibility
    • Colombia is spelt as "Columbia"
    • Sandgaard's email is not given, it just says "Thomas Sandgaard" (The source has clarified that he deleted the email address)
    • The source has not replied to my questions of how they acquired the email and whether they have provided the email to anybody else (Edit: The source has clarified he has sent the email to some others, but since it is an all staff email, it will be in many, many peoples hands)
    • It could well be that the source has completely made this up and wants me to look gullible and in-credible (in the sense of not credible), hence my warning above (Edit: This may seem harsh, but it has happened before to me).
    That's a common American spelling. It's how the university and clothing brand are spelled.

    ~16:30 - Marc Spiegel - Twitter:

    Marc Spiegel deletes these two tweets:

    1. 6th February - "Made a move today that could turn out to be momentous. Cross your fingers."

    2. 22:48, 7th February - "⚽🫢"

    A possible reason for this, being that it is potential evidence that Sandgaard contacted buyers in the period of exclusivity. If this is true, they could receive a penalty.

    Agreed. I've closed the thread for the moment, and if @Foxycafc DMs us when they're ready to do an update, we'll re-open it.
