I fear we may just be too late to hold on to Lyle. I'm sure he has been spoken to by a number of clubs already.
We could miss out on a transfer fee and risk losing him for nothing in the summer. Obviously if Roland still holds the cards that is a different matter. But you would hope that part of the takeover requirement may well have stated that no player can be sold?
Anyway what am I talking about, there are 3 or 4 games until the window is open so he will probably be injured anyway.
Would love to pick Tahnoon up in my cab tonight , free ride and a very long chat about our history , where we’ve been and what he should do. Fingers crossed.

If anyone would like to have an interesting (but totally irrelevant) insight to the amount of wealth in the higher echelons of life in Abu Dhabi, here's a bit of information that I thought was interesting when I first found out about it.
The Kempinski hotel group claims to be the oldest luxury hotel group in the world. Their properties serve some of the most affluent visitors in some of the richest locations in the world, including Vienna, Moscow, Geneva, Beijing, Singapore and Cairo. They're expensive (example: one night, in January, in the Red Square Suite in Moscow can set you back £1,300 (includes buffet breakfast)). They have four properties in the United Arab Emirates, including the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, and their sole Abu Dhabi property, the Emirates Palace.
If you want to book one night in the poshest accommodation at the Emirates Palace, you can currently book their best flexible rate which is just over £6,800 for the night. Unfortunately, that doesn't include breakfast.
But what's the thing that makes this hotel stand out as catering more for the wealthiest people on the planet than most other "posh" hotels? Nine years ago, it installed the world's first gold vending machine. That is, a vending machine that is entirely made of 24ct gold. And what does it dispense? Gold.
It operates 24 hours a day. So, any time, day or night, when you find yourself short of gold (and it's happened to each of us, hasn't it?), you can use the vending machine to buy gold bars or coins.
I’ve stayed in two Kempinski. First in Gozo, quite by accident, it was a Thomas Cook hotel & they bought it before our holiday. It was the dogs danglies but we couldn’t afford to eat there lol. Then in Budapest, courtesy of Theo Paphitis. When Millwall played Ferencvaros we stayed there with the team. Beautiful and I had breakfast with Butch Wilkins. Lovely fellow.

Surely he has a private driver, not jumping in a stinky hackney
Not mine , state of the art Electric cab, brand new .

Would that be allowed? - Can only speak with foreign clubs prior to his contract being up
Of course clubs can speak to his Agent but no terms could be discussed (unless said club says we'll offer £20k p/w) as they've still got to negotiate a price with us before they can actually speak with the player
Else we could effectively complain (Yup, hi EFL / FA its us again!!) about our player being tapped up
Bit naive to think that hasn't already happened.
Club rings an agent and the first question the agent will surely ask is how much are you going to pay him.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer the old school panning method.
I tend to agree... after 6 years digging a hole in Erith I managed to find fuck all!
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’.”

Feel sorry for any non-middle eastern people trying to get a cab in South Ken today, just full of Charlton supporting cabbies driving round and round holding out for His Excellency.
Seeing as our last two owners patently did not have the best interests of CAFC at heart, I can fully understand why the EFL might be exercising caution before approving our third. They would look even more inept if they got things wrong for the third time on the spin.

Unfortunately that don't do a sanity check.
Just make sure there's money in the bank which is why he got through.
I dont think there will be a problem of if they have enough money i.e. their worth. If there is a problem with money it will be because of how much money the investment vehicle has i.e. how much money they are willing to put into this particular venture.
It may be that they have an idea of an amount of money they want to spend on the club in X years and they dont want to go beyond. They will likely have plans to make this work. The issue will be persuading the EFL that these plans will work especially if the number they have is less than a few years of average championship losses.
I'd like to think that the "strange" ideas have to do with ambitions to devote money and resources to the women's team to elevate both the women's and the men's to the upper echelons, as per the Sheik's statements... No doubt Bowyer would find that strange but not bad... Probably not, and we don't even know the Sheik's involved, but I'm choosing that to cling to!
