Thanks but no thanks.14

Can't see this having any legs at all. Plenty of other clubs Abdullah could buy that are actually for Sale.0

I don't know much about Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz al Saud. But what I do know is this: whenever he makes a decision about significant investment plans he's always straight on the blower to Alan Nixon first.62

Our ownership model is so complicated I’d imagine buying us would be a nightmare. Far easier targets out there who might welcome the interest. Does anyone know exactly how our ownership is made up ? I don’t.1

Abdullah bin Mosaad Al Saud Net Worth when he bought the Blades in 2013, The Telegraph reported he had a personal fortune of $18 billion. However, the Daily Mail reported him to have a net worth of only £198 million in 2020.

No thanks, whether you like the current lot or not, we don't need any takeover stuff disrupting the season.26

Wasnt there a bit of a messy handover from the old Sheff Utd owner to him?

Someone on here was saying a month or so ago that the owners were looking to get out. Not that I believe that or the above but if they could turn a decent profit they might be tempted. Hope they are not though.1

Josh Friedman didn’t seem like a man looking to get out yesterday.59

The owners aren’t running a charity
Everything has its price
Anybody paying enough to give the owners any return on their investments to date would be congenitally insane
douchebag did that with the spivs
Why anyone pays any attention to Nixon is baffling

It has never been confirmed but at the time of the takeover I was told by a reliable source that Friedman, Rosenfeld and Brener have 23% each and the others eg Carter, the Singapore group, have more than 5% each.
The wording of the takeover implied that there are others with less than 5% but who they are, other than possibly Methven is not known, if they exist at all.
Nixon is a notoriously unreliable source, happy to print any story given to him regardless of its authenticity so I'd say take with a large pinch of salt.20 -

The biggest obstacle remains Roland and his pie in the sky property valuations.5

Gavin Carter was listening to Charlton Live this morning - someone tweeted us about it which was the first I'd heard of it. So I invited Gavin to comment about it in the chat and he said it was the first he'd heard of it too.48

I bet Ronnie Moore knows ......1 -
Ferryman said:The biggest obstacle remains Roland and his pie in the sky property valuations.Personally, I think the owner has the advantage of prospective buyers with us.That said a piece by Nixon is about as reliable as anything else in sport. Write as many pieces as does and he will be half right at some point.Like many others, he blocked me on twitter years back just for pulling him up on nonsense he was writing about us during the long takeover.2

If the chosen 'journalist' to spread rumours/news about yourself is Nixon, then there's not a lot to be interested in.4

If this had come from Cawley, it would be taken a bit more seriously... other than that, nah.4
-
It's not true.0

I think and hope that it's bollox. The current owners and leadership team have got the club moving in the right direction - not faultless but the best we've had, in my opinion, since Richard Murray moved on. I'd love there to be a period of stability and progression rather than yet more upheaval.12

Maybe the owners where over yesterday to discuss terms...who knows, the current owners seem okay but we haven't exactly moved forward on the pitch, last season was shocking1

It is still early days and on the field their tenure has not been a success as yet.
Lots of good things happening, the pitches, NJ, money spent on players, etc but the only KPI that matters is promotion.
So far this season, very good but while I'm optimistic there is a long way to go.
Still think this story is nonsense.8 -
To be fair to Nixon, he doesn't say that our owners are looking to sell, or even that they've spoken to Prince Abdullah.
All the story says is that he is looking at buying an EFL club, with us being one on his radar. Nobody at Charlton may know anything about this, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's false.3 -
Has any other club been traded as much as us recently?. We seem to be in constant Owner/Manager churn0
