This guys name keeps cropping up and I for one don`t know too much about him and what I have heard does not fill me with confidence. The Mail I seem to remember reported that it was Jiminez that "brokered" the deal between Zabeel and Charlton. Feel sure that you will all know more than I.

    He worked for Newcastle and when Ashley wanted to sell he organised a meeting in Dubai with Zabeel..instead of taking the talks seriously Ashley went on a drinking spree in Dubai instead.

    Jiminez got furious and continued talks with Zabeel himself but with a different agenda, and he left the toon two days before Zabeels bid for Charlton.

    Cheers MCFC but what is his likely involvement at Charlton should the deal go through is what bothers me.

    He signed some good players for Newcaslte.

    Just Keegan didn't like that, and with Toon fans being so blinded by their love of King Kev, it was never going to work.

    It's all paper talk. Lets just wait and see.

    This geezer Jiminez seems to have his fingers in a lot of pies. Think there might be something in the story of him brokering a deal between us and Zabeel based on his dealings between Zabeel and Newcastle but as for further involvement then I`m not so sure. MCFC seems to think Mike Ashley pissed off Jiminez big time.

    The story which has been touched on is about him going on the piss in Dubai at the time they were negotiating with Jabeel. If Jiminez was brokering that deal no wonder Ashley pissed him off.
