Airman, are you able to do any digging on the current staus of the takeover? Without compromising anybody of course - we have only heard from one source that the deal is dead and nothing official. There is a subtle difference say between negotiating a stumbling block and the deal being dead.
It also makes you feel for employees of the club - with all this uncertainty in the air.
Although those sales were formally approved by shareholders at a General Meeting, to my recollection none of the transactions ever actually happened. Therefore the training ground is still owned by the club.
This is what the due diligence document said about the training ground: "The Group also holds eight freeholds and one leasehold property in relation to the training ground. These are carried at £5.8m in the [2012] accounts."
It is reported elsewhere that the TG is valued on the basis of its current use. I assume that the TG is owned by Charlton Athletic Holdings Limited (like the stadium). What is odd to me is that while CAFC Ltd pays a nominal rent (or rather owes it) for The Valley, it does not appear to do so for the training ground.

I'm sure there are continuing discussions.
Thanks - still some hope then and explains no announcements.
So all of a sudden the STVVfan disappeared,and nobody's talking about the Belgian and his six clubs anymore now.Got a feeling that this thread will soon turn into 'Takeover rumours 2.0'....Erm,not saying that's a completely bad thing though....

Of course there is still hope. The reality is a takeover needs to happen. I have no doubt it will.
Correct, but interesting to see this again: "A residential site owned by the club near to the Valley, Lansdowne Mews, has also been sold as part of the deal to Bob Whitehand."
I believe we've been told more recently that Bob never owned it. Perhaps the latter is correct and the purchase never went through, but interesting nonetheless.
Bob never owned it - though the Club did offer it to him.
I was told that it was sold by Steve Waggott to the Developer who is now sitting on it with PP, though this has never been confirmed.
I see you've corrected this from Steve Kavanagh and that's correct to my knowledge, although I believe Bob was involved on behalf of the board. Did Bob also tell you that he's been banned again?
Just showing who was there. Nothing more or less. I just haven't had a chance to upload the pic earlier.
Who is it then?
Father Christmas!
Nice one, when Captain Birdseye finds out you've been taking the piss out of him eel withdraw his bid for the Haddocks, yet another takeover that's going to flounder. You've done us up like a kipper. Sorry to have to put you in your plaice. Mind you I heard his bid was funded by loan sharks so not necessarily a bad fin.
