    Are we sure that this is genuine account ? Just seems a bit strange for a bloke who appears to be very high up in this "organisation" to be posting pics of a badge, no words just a pic. I don't get it
      Look at the people he follows.
    If it's fake, it's a good'un
    And given the fact that Matt Southall keeps liking the posts...

    I've been fairly pessimistic about the chances of the takeover happening, but there's no way that's a fake account, the posts go back as far as 2012.
  • I wonder if this Wizz Air shirt sponsorship is a way around FFP. 
    They are going to sponsor us for £100m Per season

    Plenty have said Roland is bitter and revengeful...

    It has got a lot of personal family type photos on it tbh, so someone has gone to a lot of effort if it's just a wind up

    You dont get it???, probably cos your not on his friends list.

    It would be a miracle if I was !
  • These instagram posts do have a feel of a wind up but perhaps that’s the Charlton Pessimism coming out in me ? 


    His Instagram account had been active for years. If they're a wind up it's the man himself conducting it.
  • Chill, it's going to happen.

    These guys are the real deal, and our man in Kensington is deadly serious about showing the rest of the big wigs in Abu Dhabi how to run a football team.

    So chill Winston, chill.

    Winston, wont be happy you have given out his real name on here
    Or Barry the Baptist...
  • Sounds like they're already trying to run the club:

    HRH Lee Bowyer said

    “What I will echo is that the sooner it happens, the better – for everybody. Because we need to know what we’re working with and who to go to, that’s the hardest thing.

    “Steve [Gallen, head of recruitment] is still going to Roland but these other people have come in saying ‘do this and do that’.”

  • Nothing wrong with Wizzair. Flown with them four or five times now. Always impressed. It’s the low cost arm of the Hungarian national carrier Malev
    Not that it matters because I'm sure the whole thing is a red herring, but that last part isn't correct. Malev is defunct, went bust in 2012. Wizz Air is now a publicly traded company on the LSE, but some in the business worry that its focus on Eastern Europe markets makes it vulnerable to economic downturns. But if they wanted to be our shirt sponsors, that would be a whole lot better than some betting company, IMO. 
    And a way around FFP.
  • I don’t see why his excellency would be over here posting so much Charlton related content on is Instagram account if an announcement wasn’t imminent. My guess (and it is only a guess!) is that everything will be confirmed by the end of this week.
    I heard two weeks.

  • South Kensington Athletic.

    I like it.

    His Insta is a private account and you have to request access. I did and he’s granted access. If you look back through his posts going back before we got wind about his interest in us, it’s clear that it’s a genuine account. I think he’s in London at the moment 
    Me too mate, reckon South Kensington to be precise

    I got a bad feeling about this.
    Why?

    We've been told a deal has been agreed and EFL interviews done.

    Southall is travelling home and away to watch games, he's met with Bowyer to discuss their plans going forward, he's been to more games in a week than Roland did in 5 years. And now we have the supposed 'money man' Nimer, posting Charlton stuff on his instagram.

    Seems like thing are going ok so far.
    The only question is if they're ultimately gonna be good owners, but that could be asked of anyone at this point

    Going to games, mingling with fans pre-match and meeting Bowyer to discuss team plans is certainly a step in the right direction.
    Nah! I prefer a Euro-Meglamaniac who doen't give a toss and never turns up!

    They are making all the right noises so far and I do so hope that this all goes through ok. At the back of my mind, the fact that this is Charlton Athletic means that we have a couple of more twists and turns due to us.

Roland Out Forever!
