    If and it's a big if the consortium where the middle east businessman looking at Liverpool,then it is Sheikh Mohammed and this geezer is proper and I mean proper.He deosn't do anything by half and we would be looking at investment above Villa and Liverpool.If it is him then Murray would probably sell as he would know club was in very good hands.

    Varney has come out and said its "nonsense" and I reckon he's right.

    [cite]Posted By: T[/cite]To wording was "we haven't had an approach" thats not to say there isn't one. I'm happy for funding, not so keen to sell lock stock and barrel to non Charlton.

    Spot on, I thought the same. If a consortium was about to make a bid, but had not actually tabled one, it would be quite proper to deny it.

    I've got some misgivings but if this is the Dubai group who were bidding for Liverpool, then these are really serious players and would certainly be looking to invest the full monte for the long term.

    I am not trying to claim the credit but after their bid was withrawn for the Scousers, I posted on the Charlton Discussion List that they should look at us as an alternative. I came up with some compelling reasons for investing in us not Liverpool

    1. No need to employ interpreters as first language spoken at Charlton is English (oh dey do don't dey)
    2. Shell suits optional not compulsory
    3. Hub cap theft insurance not required
    4. good road, rail and air links to and from the flesh pots of London
    5. good quality stables included, its just that quite a few of the old nags that are kept there need to be replaced by new thoroughbred bloodstock

    Have been waiting for this for quite a while. With our position, it was inevitable we would attract some sort of consortium interest at some stage. What sort of offer and how we deal with are different things entirely though.

    if it is Sheikh Mohammed I guess there goes the bottled beer.

    "I'd be dissapointed if the current board took this offer and walked away. They've been 100% behind Charlton while the going was good they should stick with it while times are more difficult."

    Ok the story has been denied, but a substantial number of shares are in the hands of private investors. A takeover bid needs just over the 50% mark to succeed and that means that any potential investor will have to come out with a proposal to appeal to the private investors/fans

    I am still trying to see the link that saw these so called 'Businessman' go from trying to aquire Liverpool to settling for lil old Charlton. We are so small fry in comparison to Liverpool it is untrue.

    With a larger percentage of revenue now coming from Sky rather than merchandising/season ticket holders I think we are actually a very good purchase and are now likely to be fairly cheap, particularly in comparison to other London clubs. We have modern facilities and expansion potential, and in an area not far from the Olympics. Also good image, family club.

    Having said all that I think it would more than likely kill the soul of the club.

    Hate to be pedantic, but I will be! ;o)

    For a controlling interest in any business, you need 50% + 1 share.

    it would take all that we know and love about Charlton and turn us into the freak show that has happened to other takeovers/clubs.They would not understand what we as a club and fans have been through.The atmosphere and fans belief is back so why spoil it by turning our club into a bunch of glory hunting prawn sandwich eating non singing prats.
    ................Guess thats a NO then.
