Tomorrow's going to be mint on this thread. How will we sleep?
@AddickUpNorth Was thinking exactly the same mate, glad I'm out all day if it's going to be a day for Guru Meditation :-0 Could be the best Christmas present we've ever had if it goes ahead and we are looked after. Dya reckon you'll be flying out of Leeds & Bradford or Robin Hood when we're in Europre? :0)
I notice he brought in a new head coach on day one...
Comes across as a bit more thoughtful than that in the articles - not sure he would bring a "formula" but he does seem to like buying undervalued teams with potential...Guess it would depend how quickly he could work out why we are underperforming - ie lack of investment in playing squad rather than poor team management.
Jesus. For once in my 50 years supporting Charlton it looks as if we will actually have a pot to piss in. A very big pot. Fingers, toes, legs and eyes all crossed that this comes off.

Anyway, not a done deal yet...
Poor away support...............trains didn't help at home on Tuesday either :0)
That name's been known by the media since at least the weekend. I'm surprised it's taken four days for it to surface to be honest. Interesting they are still quoting the £43m price from the summer, though. Doesn't suggest to me they have a direct source.
Blimey You kinda wonder why someone with sort of wealth would want to buy us, I guess the established PL clubs are too expensive, and our location in London gives more potential than say Doncaster...
Think I was wrong about him bringing in a new coach on day one. Getting confused between the basketball team he bought in 2011 and the hockey team he bought three months ago....

Blitzer has been involed in both of Harris's other pro-sports buy-outs in hockey and basketball.
Both Blackstone and Apollo Global have London offices, btw.

(Would need to do a bit more research on this, but a more recent article suggests the value of the club could have doubled since he's owned it...)
