He was in the stands for some reason, saw a twitter video of him celebrating (or someone from ACA) but he wasn't in the Royal box, so not sure if that was because there wasn't room for everyoneFoxycafc said:
Friedman
Rosenfeld
Brener
Couldn’t spot Munir Javeri or Marc Boyan. Also didn’t spot Hiro Ono of ACA, although not sure if he is still involved, he’s not listed on our website but probably just owns less than 5%
Dont know what rosenfield looks like, but that's definitely not freidman, though he was definitely there, saw him in box park after.
Boyen was definitely there, saw a clip of one of the pundits saying he is friends with him and had been invited down to Box Park and asked for a +1 for Reo-Coker2 -
So we got the cartel on board? SpiffingArthur_Trudgill said:
Interesting they use 'futbol', the Spanish spelling, even though it is a USA entity registering as a director of a UK company.TelMc32 said:Companies House updates this morning confirming the removal of Charlie as a Director of SE7 Partners Limited.However, two new “directors” have been added in the names of:
Futbol UK LLC
3FS Football LLC.
Both registered in Delaware US, the first one using US law firm Duane Morris as their registered office.Edit: 3FS registered address is likely to relate to Contemporary Services Corporation (CSC). Similar to using a law firm, they are likely an agent offering admin services and a registered Delaware address.Can’t see any additional info on either from a quick search, but Delaware is the US state to register in if you want to disclose as little info as possible.
There are a lot of Latin Americans in the USA and many are interested in football, but still.
See how long Elliott keeps his claim going if that was the case 😂0 -
I was talking about Hiro Ono from ACA - This is the video of him celebrating at Wembley but as mentioned he wasn't in the Royal Box for some reason.CAFCsayer said:ForeverAddickted said:

Friedman & his son was behind Josh Edwards when he was lifting the trophy.4

That is part of the Royal Box , just a bit further back in that section , it was the other side from where we were sat and they had better padded seats !ForeverAddickted said:

I did wonder actually just after I posted the clip, as the seat in front had an armrest... Was that Bob Bolder in the blue suit?oohaahmortimer said:

That is Bob Bolder.1

This may have already been asked, but a) is it usual for the players to go on holiday together at the end of a season.and b) I presume the club are paying for it - in which case is this a bit more evidence that this ownership aren't averse to putting money up if it's justified?0

Had a chat with Friedman and his son after the game somehow.
To summarise:
- His son appears to be the one who is most involved.
- The owners (as is increasingly evident from Wembley photos etc) clearly have a direct dialogue with Jones.
- They appear convinced we will stay up, founded in their confidence in NJ
- Bought into the wider club / CAFC culture, feeling of sleeping giant / growth potential, linked to development and population growth etc in SE London (easier said than done that)
- Approachable people who clearly had a great day, and seem to be emotionally invested!36 -

Only bit I didn’t like is the development part. Hopefully not the next lot wanting to build on the Valley.
I did hear from someone last week who’s always been close to some inside the club that they are pushing forward to try and buy the valley now regardless of how much time is left on the lease agreement.

Maybe a clumsy choice of words on my part - but intended as new housing development in places like Woolwich, Peninsula, Kidbrooke, Thamesmead etc and potential to tap into that in terms of growing the fanbase.7 -
No worries. Think development just worries me every time I hear about charltondickad1 said:

From first hand knowledge, the current Silvertown project is going to be absolutely huge.
And only a few stops on DLR and main line to our doorstep.2 -
The amount of ‘brown belt’ type land around Charlton alone means *when* it gets developed, there will be thousands of new residents within 5-10 minute walk from The Valley.

Build it (success) and they will come.1

Surely West Ham United country though? A club with a 60,000 capacity stadium & so able to distribute a fair few comps amongst the new residents to encourage them to go follow the Hammers!carly burn said:From first hand knowledge, the current Silvertown project is going to be absolutely huge.

Thought some might be interested in this 'Business Daily' BBC podcast about American ownership in football and how their viewpoint differs from the traditional outlook.

"Following sales of stakes at Ipswich Town & Wrexham, Charlton Athletic are the next Championship club to chance their arm. The club’s US owners have asked merchant bank BDT & MSD Partners to look for a new partner. I suspect they’ll be dangling 20% or so for £20m."

Really interesting and positive sounding move. I guess part of this 20% would be the ACA stake?SELR_addicks said:"Following sales of stakes at Ipswich Town & Wrexham, Charlton Athletic are the next Championship club to chance their arm.

Seems an optimistic valuation to me0

I don’t understand or follow the meaning of this news.
I have been told casually that we are owned by two dollar billionaires.0 -
Doesn’t stop them wanting to dilute their share. See this as a positive tbh.jose said:I don’t understand or follow the meaning of this news.

Pretty spectacular jump in valuation even if 20% went for 10 million, isn't that about what they paid for us?0
-
In the past I would agree, but the stale Ipswich sold valued the club at £350m. 20% of Charlton for £20m values us at £100m. I know we don't own our ground, but Portman Rd isn't work £250m, so the footballing part of Ipswich is valued somewhere over £300m. Their squad is stronger and more valuable than ours, but certainly not 3x the value, plus our academy is arguably far more valuable than theirs.fenaddick said:Seems an optimistic valuation to me4 -
Would see this as ownership wanting to really push things on and realising that being competitive/pushing for playoffs assuming we stay up is going to need a significant investment in the playing staff.Diebythesword said:

100 million?

Or they just want their money back ? Does this automatically mean £20m into the coffers for investment or just offsetting operating losses?
Without explanation we just don’t know.1
