  • I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'll believe it when it happens.

    his wiki page (no it wasn't me):

    Mehmet Dalman (born 1958) is a British-Turkish Cypriot investment banker.[2] He is the owner of Charlton Athletic.
  • God knows mate @flyingkiwiDK I just found a picture of him on Google with his legs showing.

    Tell you what is very promising if this does come to life. It was Dalman who convinced Tan to go back to blue for Cardiff, which says a lot in my book. This isn't no egomaniac narcissist. This is a man with a plan. I hope this is finally it, got a really good feeling this time, never have done before 
  • Did anyone see him at Wembley?

    Peace Treaty of Constantinople was signed in 1700 if you are looking for an omen.
  • 1700 pages for the greatest thread of all time
  • This story (about Dalman) is now 'breaking' everywhere, BBC just picked it up, Cardiff City on-line also quoting it, obviously the Evening Standard now confirming they knew about it 3 months ago...this i think either has legs and is putting pressure on RD to sell, or RD using it to put pressure on the Aussies. As i said in a post a few minutes ago...I believe something is happening and he's gone by 24th June.


    And the fact that RD has gone public about the aussies and stating he was hoping for one party to have concluded the deal (possibly Aussies) shortly after play offs tells me he just wants out now. That is why he is under no pressure to get Bowyers contract done. I felt all along the lack of info from the club on Bowyers signing, Jackson signing, Williams now talking up that he wants to stay at Charlton (sounds like he has an inkling of what is going on). the lack of players in and out. It wouldn't surprise me subject to conclusion of takeover whoever is successful will depends on what players they can go for. Wouldn't surprise me if they are talking to various players/agents already.

    Sounds like a 10CC song
  • Are we the only Club he still owns?
    Sorry, I should know but......

    Kind of hoping that if we’re the last to go, he might just say, ‘feck it Mehmet, it’s yours’

    I know. 

    Straws, clutching. 
    Still has the German club and his family still has the Hungarian club, I think.
    Only ever owned 49% of Jena (that's why they are relatively successful). His son "owns" Ujpest. He still owns Stayen, where STVV play. Nevertheless even at a realistic price Charlton are worth probably more than all three above holdings put together. I think that's the problem. In order to boast in some Belgian Freemasons dinner that he showed others how to personally profit from football, he is determined to get as much as possible for us. :-(

    Yes you ARE. 
  • please please please please please let this be true!

    A wealthy guy who has experience in English football who seems well thought of by Cardiff fans sounds too good to be true. 

    He is just what we need a guy who can come in provide a a plan and give Bowyer the tools. 

    if Bowyer is still here!

    the next 48 hours could be huge

    I know he’s just mucking about but Christ Rich talk about getting our hopes up. 
    A guy on twitter said he'd take Rich with him and his family on holiday if it got done tonight. Don't anyone read too much into it

  • Here's what will probably happen: Paddy will cut his hair, lose his batting form and we won't be sold

    1701, Anders Celsius dies.
  • I think that it's all a ruse by Henry to get the numbers on this bloody thread up. 
  • Two and a half weeks before the end of the Football year isnt it?

    Reckon we could see something completed by then if its ever going to happen - You'd hope so thats for sure as thats when Bauer and Aribo etc. really will be Free Transfers so would be nice to go back to them both with proper offers that they deserve before they decide on somewhere else!!
  • This seems to be doing the rounds quite quickly, which means from what I can see from twitter, a lot of journos have been sitting on this for a while. Which either means this is happening fairly imminently, or it’s a last attempt by the buyer to push through the sale.
