Does Murray have any involvement in this to your knowledge?
The only thing I have heard is that they didn’t want him on the board and there was a discussion about whether he could be life president (which Maurice Hatter is). But that was some time ago.

Does anyone else laugh every single time they see the name Maurice Hatter? No reason for it to be funny, but it just is.
TheBelgium20 @TheBelgium20 · 39m Aussies have a lot of cash too and are not the same as the initial Aussies involved who didn’t have financial backing. Either way it is a win over Duchatelet. Don’t think the fans will like some people keeping a role in charlton. But we will see I guess. Also been told next week.

Belgium20 @TheBelgium20 Seems a poster on CL was getting the same info as us. We were told it came through channels from Paul Elliot. It was a Middle East consortium worth over $3b in weath. They wanted a clean sweep. RM didn’t want them and preferred the less wealthy Aussie. Chineese whispers? Or BS?

Ps. Anyone feeling upset about the Saudis walking remind yourself of this:
The Australian Football Consortium has been established to acquire an underperforming English football team with a view to elevating the club back to the Premier League.
In 2016 AFC commissioned Deloitte’s Football Business Group in Manchester to conduct a feasibility study on our project and identify clubs that fit our criteria.
Our goal is quite simple: To rebuild the club that we acquire and over time, attempt to elevate it to the Premier League. Of this we are resolute. Winning is important to us. However, winning only occurs when a sporting organisation has the best people, processes and governance in place. As a result, AFC intend to incorporate the very best local, Australian and global sports leadership, psychology, coaching, data analytics, management and science to ensure that we leave no stone unturned in our quest to achieve our goal. It is AFC’s intention to inject significant funds to ensure that this occurs.
A critical component of AFC’s strategy will be to invest heavily into the training facility so that the club can attract and develop local talent and provide them with the opportunity to represent their club at a senior level.
It is also important to note that AFC is keenly aware and understands the importance of the fans in English football. We are committed to our responsibility to honour and respect the history and tradition of the club and ensure that the fans are respected as key stakeholders in the process.
AFC’s expert advisory team includes some of the most respected names in Australian sport. These experts have committed their time, free of charge, because they believe wholeheartedly in the validity of the project.
We believe that this is a good news story for Australia, the UK and all football lovers because we know that with the right ownership and leadership, it is possible to restore a winning culture to a club for the benefit of the fans, the local community and to help grow support for the club further afield.
Strong football relationships already exist between Australia and the UK and we believe this well-constructed project will only strengthen these over time.
We remain hopeful of being able to conclude a deal in due course but we will not be making any statements or comments until a deal is completed.
Ed. but then also remember this from the Saudi football team.

I guess the Middle East Consortium were the ones from Saudi Arabia - Other than mega bucks I dont like the sound of that
If Arab money was to come in, better to be the same sort of setup as Man City's owners

I don’t bear any illwill toward RM, but I would hope he choose this opportunity to step away from the limelight and choose to watch as a fan, rather than a mouthpiece, link, figurehead etc

Sounds like he’s going to have to buy a season ticket from now on

I would say freeloading is one thing you can’t accuse him of, tbf.

That is one of the most positive statements I have read.
If this comes to fruition and the Aussies get this right, The only way is up!
