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...
Precisely! £200M for Fulham but £20M for CAFC and inheriting some debts... how much will it cost to push CAFC into the top six? Here's hoping a deal is closed before Christmas so that the January window can be used to strengthen the team.
Hi would someone please sum up for me what has been said/going on as I can't really be bothered to read through all the 31 pages? Thankyou in advance. Sorry to be that guy

Yep. I'm excited again. I don't trust the Mail, to get even the date right, and after Zabeel, I should be more wary, but looks like this could be happening.
Cue another day checking the internet every five minutes.
oo yes another day checking then OS will be down all holding breath then announcment we have a new stationary supplier !!! come one please push this over the line the fizz is on ice !!!
The name has been kicking around for a week when I got told, people were asked to keep quiet about it for fear it could all collapse, interesting the Mail is being used again, used to be the place for stories to leak
I refuse to get excited until it's on the OS. Once bitten and all that. I certainly won't be rushing down to the ground to be interviewed by Sky Sports News...
Great question about where it will leave peoples views on slater and TJ
NSS asked me this last week, that if there was a take over and it turned out to be a very good financial deal for cafc
Its taken a while for me to digest and consider but
Then they should and would be held in terms of achievements whilst in role succesful and instrumental in helping rebuild the club from its lowest point
Its a bit of bitter\sweet
But like HI says I will believe it when its on the OS

This has always been my view, regardless of potential takeovers mate. I think they've done us the world of good and if this deal comes off they will go from good to great in my eyes.

Now things seem more public, let's set out how things seemed to have panned out so far:
- Rumours of advanced interest / due dilligence being carried out began around three weeks ago. It was believed to be an American group
- Last week the SLP run a story on a potential takeover, which suggested it was very advanced. Potentially correct, but raised questions on full accuracy (UK group) and how the SLP got the story (it 'appears' leaked from the Charlton board), baring in mind the club banned the SLP last year for running a similar story on the Loc interest. Were they seeking to encourage a second group who had rumoured to shwe interest?
- suggestions began to circulate that the American group were Snider/Comcast. This was then confused by others suggesting it was Harris / Apollo Shown in this thread since last night, there has already been a bit of researching done on Harris.
- mentions of a second interested group, believe to be Germans, have continued, but with little certainty
- suggestions earlie in the week that a takeover seemed at an advanced stage seemed premature. Not heard anything yet to suggest otherwise.
- Mail picks up the Harris name and publishes
That I think is a fair summary of things so far that I think does not break andly confidences.
I think other 'interested parties' was just a smokescreen. Also, by the time a buyer has bought the club and paid off creditors the overall price will probably move towards the £43m number.

Though look who Harris bought the 76s from
Strange that the Mail have the price at 43m though
