I think he is interested in investing, rather than buying. Millwall were granted a new 999 year lease last year. They also look like getting / have the green light on developing that land, plus The Den has been approved for redevelopment as part of the New Bermondsey scheme, with plans to take capacity up to 34,000. There’s also footing for a new tube station right next to the ground put in. All this needs money, but it is a great investment due to location etc.
Charlton mates laughed when I said if any club is due a revolutionary big money takeover / investment it is Millwall, because of all the above. An inner London club in sight of the Shard & Canary Wharf with a development opportunity to boot!
Even though it was a deliberate choice to write it this way? Also being fully aware of your so called poor comprehension? Incidentally it’s grammar on my part, the poor comprehension would be you not understanding.
You’ve misunderstood what I initially wrote, so that is poor comprehension. Then you misunderstood what I was talking about when I said ‘that’s just poor comprehension skills’. Which takes some doing, so bravo!
I'm always dubious of Middle Eastern interest in EFL clubs, they've shown with Newcastle, Man City and PSG that they've no problem with buying a side in the top flight of a League, so why isnt this bloke putting his sights higher if he's another financial "real deal"
Previous ME backing in EFL clubs has seemingly ended badly, has there been an example where its gone well as Charlton and Wigan have suffered badly from it, whilst Milton Keynes are a case that remains to be seen. Am sure there are others I've forgotten.
So from a Millwall stand point, I'd take this news very cautiously.
As genuinely... Why the f**k would they be interested in Milwall, same can be said of us with ESI with hindsight
Cannot see the Berylson’s selling. But a billionaire investor may come in handy when you want to build hotels, homes and shops.
Conversely, you have to ask why wouldn’t someone be interested. Take your red & white glasses off for a moment… Millwall are inner city London, you can see the Shard & Canary Wharf from the ground. A ground that now has a 999 year lease & been given green light to be regenerated with shops, a hotel, sports centre & homes. Plus, PP for increasing capacity to 34,000. It’s also getting a tube station literally next to it.
The bad rep? Chelsea were pretty much a far right rally in the 70s & 80s. Look at them now. £800-1k season tickets at The Den in the PL will soon filter out the riff-raff.

It's not a take over its just investment because of the regeneration of the so called New Bermondsey which is rumoured to be worth billions
I bet they promote homes for sale there with photos of so-called twins.
As an aside, I don’t think the Berylson family need to tap him up for money to make regen happen, as they own an investment business with access to billions. I just think the regen makes Millwall very investable to Alalshikh & it might be nice for the Berylson’s to share the load re financing the club.
Heard he's moved on to Bristol City. Something about wanting to own brick and motor which he would get with Millwall.
Fancy letting some separate the club from it's assets 🙄
Millwall were given a 999 year lease last year. Which effectively makes them owners. Hence why they can develop their own plans now. In a funny way, being leaseholders from a council on a 999 year lease means they / stadium are / is far safer from being at the whim of an unscrupulous developer or Belgium nutter.
Bristol City are a good option for someone ambitious looking to get involved in football.
Have consistent crowds the last decade or so, big-ish area, a lot of potential and in a healthy position footballing wise, pretty nice ground as well, quite similar to ours.
Yeah tbf almost every thing I saw on twitter was people against it.
We wouldn’t want to sell our soul for a bit of dodgy oil money from that regime. Success on the pitch would be nice but not at any cost. We’re in good hands as it is and on a good trajectory.
If it was palace the dickheads would all be walking around with tea towels on their heads.
Us at Millwall were all like “hmmmm, nah f**k that”.

That’s the difference between us and them.
The whole thing just seemed a bit unconvincing, I get he owns other clubs abroad but surely he would have done his research and know that this type of response was going to come if he went public.
And I doubt the Berylsons would just sell to anyone.
