The press knew nothing about Zebeel until is was announced and nothing about this deal until it was announced.
AFTER Zebeel was announced they suddenly all knew something and started to throw every name and every Club into the mix.
When the press did their searches on wiki or even in their files they found that Jimenez had once meant to have some connection to Dubai and so made the connection.
Has anyone from Charlton ever mentionJimenez or Wise as being part of any deal?
I dont really want to know either if i am being honest
as a semi grown up person i realise that Santa is actually me,
where as the clothes washing ironing and folding fairy, the washing up fairy and the housekeeping fairy i still have no idea about but i get happier when they have been
and thats how i see this takeover
i dont want to know it wont be long before we do find out
but i also think that people are worrying without no real substance to worry
The peice on Jimenez was from 2008 old news yes but the guy obviously has business contacts that ultimately are well heeled.
Toyed with this for a while before ultimately voting No, like many others on the issue of it being a "right". I'm dying to know, and praying that if it goes ahead they're decent people supportive of everything the club stands for, but as said elsewhere, if a leak could spoil it all, let's just wait. If we were to find out before anything was signed and sealed that it was people we didn't want, I'm not sure we could do much about it anyway AT THAT STAGE. After that they should be well aware of how Charlton fans can mobilise!
It's got to be no. I have 100% faith in the integrity of Richard Murray and Peter Varney. They will be dealing with the right type of people who are able to take the club forward. You can also understand any caution after the Zabeel no deal! I'm desperate to know who it is but I'm sure that they'll tell us more when they are confident enough to do so.

I think you will find that the secrecy has been initiated by the buyer, the seller will have nothing to do with it, and little if not any, control over it.

Deal had to be done by 24th December as Santa will be busy after that.
24th December is when people in most of Europe have their big CHristmas celebration ie the big meal, presents etc.
That the deal has to be done by then proves the buyers are from continental Europe. Or perhaps not.
Then again the Young Addicks Xmas party have been moved to 21st December. Most likely so the new owner can give out the goodie bags to the kids live on SSN.
It would be nice to know and it would be great if the prospective owners were to address the fans on the steps of the Valley, but we have no right in this. And if we had the right what would we do, cheer or boo depending on who it as and what our perceptions of their future activities, based upon their past ones, were. Unless we had a power of veto then there is no reason why they should reveal themselves and knowing how fickle fans are they may wish tp have the keys to the door before Murray is accussed of a sell out and they are accused of not being charlton enough.
Really pleased that not a single bit of information has been leaked, makes a change from the normal overload of information we get on all things to do with football. It also gives Lookie & AFKA just over two weeks to ensure Charltonlife Servers can stand up to the strain they will be under on Christmas Eve (You just know it'll be down all day :-0)
Ok, we have no right to know. I wonder if we're all reading too much into the fact that we don't know. Maybe it's not about us (the fans) - maybe it's about something else?
I could never understand why an old schoolfriend of mine refused to go and support his team for a while because he didn't like the manager - a lot of people on here will go along no matter who the manager is, who the owners are or what division we're in, so why not tell us? The reason may be that if they tell us they tell everybody - i.e. they can't say to all season ticket holders and people with 3 ticket stubs "it's X, but don't tell". One of those 12,000-odd is gonna blab!
Not entirely sure that we have the "right" to know, but still believe that we should know.
And the person who effectively said on the other page that people only want to know because they're nosey and not because they have any concerns over who the new owner may be or where the dosh is coming from is a complete arse. Can't even be bothered to go back one page to name and shame them - beneath contempt.
Having won the DIrectors Day package in the Upbeats raffle I have been told I can take it at anytime except the BOxing Day game. I suppose it's going to be pretty crowded that day already

Wonder who you will get to meet on the day, eh, Large?

The Boxing Day game was set out at the time of the raffle as the only home game to avoid, purely because it is the day where most directors invite their families that day. No other scurrilous reason i can assure you !

But will it be the new directors, the old directors or both if it is all meant to happen by 24 December?!
It is natural for people to want to know the answer, but if you were told now all you could do is speculate. Then if they pull out like Zabeel last time, what have we gained ? If we don't like the sound of them what action could we take ? If we all get excited because we do like the sound of them, what if the talks collapse ? Lets get on with hanging the mistletoe etc, it's only two weeks for goodness sake. Let's concentrate on staying in the top 2 spot going into the New Year, lets remember how exciting it will be to hear that the deal has been done, with Rich and Reg involved it could not be better.

so why worry
there is an old saying
What will be will be
and that for me is as far as any of this goes
Let's hope we're all pleasantly surprised soon.
No real sense of that in the past few years in my opinion one way or another.
I think you will find that the secrecy has been initiated by the buyer, the seller will have nothing to do with it, and little if not any, control over it.
The buyer will reveal his HAND soon enough
:-)
Another clue I don't get ! ??
Hand of....
Surely not?
Did you really just write that ?
It's not true kids, NLA is not really Santa, these are the ramblings of a drunk man.
I was thinking, 24th December, 2nd coming!
;-)

I hearby declare Richard Murray has sold out. FACT. It was even on the OS!

i only found out today mate surprised me i tell you
has anyone worked out who the clothes washing ironing and folding fairy, the washing up fairy and the housekeeping fairy
is
and the one who puts all my clothes in the coirrect places.
Of course I want to know, but you have to respect the rights of the buyer(s) if they want anonymity.
