    Interesting.

    I'm trying to find the video from a few years ago of Matt Syed talking on sky about why these states get involved in major sports, another fascinating insight.
    As I mentioned above, this is fascinating ... and very intriguing ... could very well make sense of the entire takeover.

     A club in Royal Greenwich with all the Peninsula development, growing infrastructure and housing ... definitely an all-round good ‘rentier’ investment ... Manchester has certainly done well out of their Middle East connections. 
    It (sort of) makes sense. Why else take a risk on buying Charlton, of all football clubs? 
  • I remember when this first came out someone saying it'll all be a property play - seems to be the case. Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
  • No time for a honeymoon for ESI as we has until the end of the month to have a squad that can garner enough points to keep us in this division. I personally think it will be more difficult than many imagine with new owners as this is a injury hit squad and with Taylor and Bonne out I can't see where the next goal is coming from unless two strikers of proven Championship quality come in this window. We are the Bournemouth of the Championship and it's difficult to stop the rot when you get more injuries every game.

    As a fan base go, Charlton fans really don't need this kind of nonsense and uncertainty. We've had a gutfull. 
    I'm getting the sense now of what Bowyer was on about with his strange comment the other week
    Matt Southall swanning around the place like he owns the gaff when the reality appears to be he is far from it, is really not helping.

    It's been well over a month now. It's not stacking up as it should for me
    What is the average length of time it takes the EFL to ratify a deal like this?
    They have to read all of Grapevines posts before beginning, so another 3-4 months at least
    I think we'll hit the bottom three before getting out of it.

    Anyone know if the Aussies have made a bid to ESI yet?
    Hopefully they can now reveal what the crack was with their 'attempt' at buying us.
    I profoundly don't give a flying fuck about that 😊😊

    The whole six years would be an interesting read.

    The summerise its about The Thames Gateway Project and it being being an eco region, these guys are at the forefront of clean energy, hydroponics etc

    Charlton is in this catchment so a foot in the door to this project is worth gazillions

      Peter Varney was very much selling this aspect of our potential back in the day.
  • I can understand why His Excellency might fancy a punt at a football club and obviously Matt Southall has a football/sports background but what’s the angle on Jonathan Heller’s interest ?
  • If the Sheikh were involved in terms of financing,  would this really be a problem that Mansour is involved at Man City? Yes they are related but if it comes from his own personal wealth, would it be a problem?

    He's the CEO of HE's Company
  • Wonder if we might see some 'random' companies sponsoring us in the near future? HEs' company has a big umbrella covering what was it? 60 business'? Be one way round FFP wouldnt it?

    I’d be extremely surprised if this didn’t happen.

    Reductions for season ticket holders and free upgrades?

    He is from Bromley, went to Dulwich college 😁 you may well find he has a love for the club. 
  • It would be nice to see the bottom right corner button updated soon :smile:
    Just to signify that he has gone for good! 
  • I'm saving my anus for a decent pre-season.

    Flag.
  • Did anyone ever see the tv series "V"?

    Not saying that they are all lizards masquerading as humans....   BUT!
