    I thought the unsubstantiated fact was £200m but could make up any number 
    2 was the number that someone thought several meant, there was then a debate on this. 

    A couple = 2
    A few = 3 maybe 4 
    Several generally was thought to mean 5, 6 or 7 

    I think that was the outcome.
    Very appropriate post for your username!

    The £200m is his post office savings account. The other £3bm is in his ISA account that’s accumulated a lot of interest over the years that he’s set aside for a rainy day. Hence the purchase of CAFC in January. FACT

    Brilliant! Didn't see that one coming this morning...

    If it doesn't go through, then the EFL will have specific, detailed and water tight answers as to why not.  And, in those circumstances, we should be very pleased it doesn't go through: if the EFL find problems, it's far better for them to come to light now and for Charlton to be prevented from suffering the consequences, than for them to be hidden until it's too late.  The EFL in those circumstances will be the good guys, as bitter a pill as that would be to swallow.  

    This. If the EFL could let that prick buy Bury for £1 then stand by as he trashed them, surely if they were to turn down our prospective new owner/s then there must have been something glaringly wrong in the new owners closet.

    Still no word from @Redhenry unless I missed it. 
    Has he been abducted by aliens??
    I would imagine his friend has left Charlton so doesn't have ears anymore at the club.
    Not a dicky bird about the UAE ESI group so doesn't want to be bombarded with questions where he would now have to guess and speculate like the 99% who are not in ITK on CL.

    I know he appeared to have a hotline as he was the first to break the news that Lee Bowyer would be staying shortly after Roland's late night call to Lee, improving his contract to stay for one extra season after we all heard that Bowyer had walked.
    I haven't got a friend at Charlton. i have more than one source btw..

    Alright mucker, how goes it? Do you know anything then? @Redhenry
  • Any chance ESI are holding off on officially announcing until after the FA Cup on Saturday knowing full well we will have a tiny crowd and probably get tonked? Maybe they've had approval but want to make the WBA league game at home the "first" game for them?
