    Pards could be in real danger. The pay off on his contract will be peanuts to them and they might want someone with a higher profile.

    From OS:
    The board of Charlton Athletic plc announced on Friday that it has received an indicative cash offer from Zabeel Investments, a Dubai-based diversified investment company.

    The indicative offer is subject to a number of preconditions, including due diligence. However, it is at a level at which, should the offer be made formally to shareholders, the board would recommend shareholders to accept it.

    There is, however, no certainty that a formal offer will be made.

    Zabeel Investments had been looking at the opportunity to invest in a leading English football club and had been monitoring the situation at Charlton closely.

    Despite being approached by various English football clubs, as well as a number of well-known clubs in Europe and South America, Zabeel Investments believes Charlton is the right club for them.

    The board will keep the shareholders, fans and employees updated with any further developments.

    Derek Chappell, plc chairman, and Richard Murray, chairman of the football club, commented: "The board firmly believes that a successful outcome for this transaction would be beneficial to shareholders and employees of Charlton, all fans of the club and the local community as a whole.”

    Mohammed Al Hashimi, executive chairman of Zabeel Investments, added: "We feel now is the right time to make a strategic, long-term investment in Charlton and get Charlton back to the English Premier League where the club belongs.

    "The passion of the fans at Charlton, the heritage of the club and the unique status it enjoys in the community make it an exciting proposition for us.”

    For the purposes of the takeover code, this announcement has been made with the consent of Zabeel Investments.
