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 2012.4

I wonder if this Wizz Air shirt sponsorship is a way around FFP.They are going to sponsor us for £100m Per season4

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 upcharltonbob said:
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 itRylo said:i_b_b_o_r_g said:

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 moment7

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.7 -

Winston, wont be happy you have given out his real name on here18 -
Bedsaddick said: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.0 -

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’.”

And a way around FFP.PragueAddick said:
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.ShootersHillGuru said: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.0 -
I heard two weeks.flyingkiwiDK said: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.0 -
South Kensington Athletic.
I like it.

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.22 -
The only question is if they're ultimately gonna be good owners, but that could be asked of anyone at this pointChris_from_Sidcup said:

Going to games, mingling with fans pre-match and meeting Bowyer to discuss team plans is certainly a step in the right direction.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

That said, I'm feeling very positive about what is happening - and it is happening!5 -
The money that some have in the middle East is mind blowing.2years back for a very well known company I was part of a due diligence team that had to check a portfolio for "middle east" money but hush hush.There was hundreds and hundreds of "propertys" on the list many complete retail parks,hugr lumps of Northumberland Av in Westminster.One single item on the list ---- the whole estate opposite the White Horse lower road right to the river ! That portfolio must have been a billion -------- who was it ? No idea . We were all blown away with the fact it was one "buyer".
During Zebel some on here didn't want us to sell our soul for huge dosh ------- not me enough of the bottom feeding let's blow the doors off
Time to put South East London on the World football stage and for once enjoy the ride

I reckon he’s just showing off his new purchase, not necessarily to charlton fans but other businessman on there that must follow him, scrolling through his followers I found a ‘saeed Nayhan’ which I can only assume is one of the ruling family.5

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.2 -
Matt Southall follows it on a private account, all but confirms it’s legit.7
