I can tell you bits and bobs about TJ - he is an acquaintance of a pal of mine.
He is from Swanley area, in his late 40's, and now lives in Chelsfield very near to an ex-Chelsea player. Son of a Spanish speaking father, his bilingual skills came to prominence when he was a security guy at Chelsea Training Ground. He rose to the challenge of translator and middleman for the highly paid foreign recruits at CFC and hence the start of his longterm friendship with DW.
He has a decent relationship with Curbs and PV through his work as a sort of agent / go-between, and he may even have done some stuff for CAFC behind the scenes during our Premiership years.
He is a well-liked guy, even though he may look a bit intimidating in some pics.
From what i'm told, he is not the sort of guy to be buying a football club for himself, so I would watch this space.
According to the interview on CAFCPlayer he's only seen Charlton play once and a few times on telly. I thought that was weird to buy a massive football club without getting a proper feel for the place. Strange to me anyway.
Can anyone discover anything about the Rose Trust in Geneva? I can only find this and it's close to Luceene, not Geneva. This company makes some kind of sense as it does due diligence stuff amongst other things.
They are based in Zug - the cheapest corporate taxes in Switzerland and also one of the most secretive. A lot of big Western corporations are registered there, makes sense I suppose to be where there is money.
This really does seem like an old boys club thing going on here. I posted on one of the numerous threads that jiminez has an involvement in les bourdes golf report in france. This is a seriously exclusive resort and a multi million pound operation. Cant remember what jim's involvement is but he's a director or something like that. If you want to find out our new owners, you may want to establish the owners of les bourdes.

Is that where you met him SS? Is that where he persuaded you to front the deal?
By the way, many congratulations on being appointed Chairman - it must be a dream come true for you.

Good call!
Must have a recipe for success or he's toast.
(PS. I know a lot about fashion)
Not really surprising, as Slater was born and grew up in Manchester.
Charlton's "secret investor" has "connections" with the owners of Manchester City.
(What d'you mean it's bleedin' obvious and people have been saying that for weeks .....?)
;o)
Someone told him he could buy Chorlton, near Manchester. So he jumped at the chance.
We've all made mistakes. This is Slater's.
;o)
Slater is Porkpie FACT!
