The Takeover Thread - Duchatelet Finally Sells (Jan 2020)

Rizzo

I for one welcome our new Arab overlords.

In bits! We won!

The prospect of Bowyer, Jackson, Gallen and Taylor getting the deals they deserve now is honestly incredible. Was really fearing the worst and expecting all to be gone come the end of the season and going back to square one. Speechless but absolutely buzzing!

Championship side Charlton Athletic have been taken over by East Street Investments, subject to approval from the English Football League.

They have agreed to buy Charlton from Roland Duchatelet, who had been trying to sell the club since the end of 2017.

Tahnoon Nimer and Jonathan Heller - chairman and CEO of Abu Dhabi Business Development - join as directors, with Matt Southall becoming club chairman.

Charlton fans had held a series of protestsagainst Belgian Duchatelet.

Isnt the Royal Family out there fucking huge? - Seems to be one HH after another out there

His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer is Chairman at The Private Office of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nayhan in Abu Dhabi.

The Al Nayhan family are one of the six ruling families of the UAE and are the rulers of Abu Dhabi.

If Tahnoon Nimer is investing on his own behalf then that is one thing but if he is actually investing on behalf of HH Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoun Bin Mohammed Al Nayhan then that is a whole different ball game.

Time will tell but this all looks pretty good.

Please sign Lee up. And hopefully we have half a chance of keeping Lyle now!

First thing they need to do is sort out Lee's and the backroom staffs contract situation.

I don't care how much money this bloke has, as long as he stabilises the club and gives the staff what they need to work with I'll be happy.

One request to the new owners, please get rid of Murray and burger boy and get proper staff in at a senior level (nonplaying).

Id be surprised if Murray isnt going to be involved... Do reckon that is how this one has managed to get across the line

blackpool72

Just sell the club and FUCK OFF. 

At last my perseverance has got rid of the old scrote. 
Seriously I don't know wheather to laugh or cry. 
Can't wait for tomorrow and really celebrate.
