    Seems a lot about nothing.

    A journo says he's heard a rumour. Only a rumour. Not fact, not even a "good source" just a rumour and now he's back tracking on it.

    As for Sainsbury, Muttley says he's trying to "put the money together to buy the club" which implies that, as when he tried to buy Leeds, he doesn't have the money. So, no thanks.

    looking at it that way i agree, if you cant afford to buy leeds then how can they afford to buy us

    everyone knows that south is better than north


    and you could buy a 5 bedroom detached fora tenner ooop nth so the bloke must be potless

    he hasnt updated his tweet for over 3 hrs which suggests he will only post when he knows "something"

    why havnt cafc official released a statement to quash the rumour if theres nothing going on?

    well he's certainly not elaborating. If he's got at story why isn't he telling it?

    OK, this one takes it in an entirely different direction:

    Dan Roan is currently in a briefing with Kenny Huang!

    I dont see why CAFc would need or should say anything it is a tweet from a journo with no substance or story to go alongside it.

    Why is there nothing on the Beeb website saying that CAFC are about to be taken over breaking news


    then there would be a need for Cafc to respond

    I just typed Kenny Huang to buy Charlton into Google, one of the links above was listed and mentions one of our very own lifers in the same breath as Hicks, Gillett and Huang so perhaps a certain someone on this very board is a multi billionaire and will be completing the takeover!

    The reference to Kenny Huang on DR's twitter appears totally incidental to any Charlton rumour-mongering, he's just at the Sports Summit DR is currently at

    Roan says that it was going to be completed last wednesday, but we should keep watching this space. You should always trust BBC journo's for info. Mihir Bose has also said a takeover is guaranteed with in a short time ..... although that was before relegation from the Prem was confirmed!!!!

    For the benefit of those work-impaired, lifted from DR's Twitter, today's tweets only, most recent last:

    "On way to 4th Annual Global Sports Summit - lots of important people there, including my boss.

    Re Charlton Athletic takeover, I'm on it - deal was meant to happen on Wednesday, and didn't, but it remains very close

    Pic Exclusive! L'pool fans this could have been your new owner. He really exists! Kenny Huang!

    Kenny Huang has so far declined my requests for an interview - he's in a Sport Summit panel debate at 11.20"

    = No briefings. No link between KH and Charlton.
