The next owners will be Zabeel. They had their fingers burned 2 years ago by our newspapers Linking them with virtually
every premership club.

This time they want everthing kept quiet until everything is signed and sealed later today.

    The next owner will be a local businessman who made a fortune selling salt and grit, which he scraped off local roads, back to Greenwich Council at double the price they originally paid for it.

    I've just seen a Red Robin in my garden. Could this be significant?
  • superclive
    Hope so. I'm gong to the superstore this morning so will report back later on any sightings.

    Pravda aka The South London Press reports: 'The investor group locked in takeover talks with Charlton were facing a raceagainst time to complete their buyout of the League One club before the end of today, writes Richard Cawley.

    The Addicks' potential new owners were hoping to conclude a deal by Christmas Eve.
    But the club's former chief executive Peter Varney who is representing the group, has admitted that their hopes of assuming control today is likely to go to the wire.

    He said: "We're doing everything we possibly can to complete what is a very complex transaction which involves a whole array of third parties."

    [The takeover of a Norbury club] was slowed by waiting for the Football League to rubber stamp the club's change of hands. The share - which is their right to play
    in the division - has to be transferred.

    But Varney, when pressed said: "The Football League is not an issue."

    i dont have a clue about the takeover of a football club/business but if there are a host of third parties, is it more likely that the new owners are non-uk citizens?

    Great.

    Another takeover Thread Great, that makes at least 38 separate threads some running into the thousand of posts. Why people keep starting new threads on the same subject is just plain bad internet manners Ban em I say.
  • Valley McMoistValley McMoist
    I can't imagine that the club would pull the plug if it's not completed today. If there's anything that'll hold it up, it'll be the lawyers who can't be arsed to get out of the pub on Christmas eve.
  • BigRedEvil
    I don't understand why it absolutley has to be done today, what happens if it's announced the next working day? (Wednesday in this case)

    Surely if they have money and have agreed and completed due diligence sealing it by 24th December surely sealing it a few days later makes no difference? Seems a little weird to me
  • nth london addick
    i think the date was a hint that there is a nice xmas pressie for us all under the chrimbo tree


    a thankyou and start of a new era in the most wonderful day on the christian calender

    i took the date as a nice to do not a need to do
  • Rothko
    So if you strip out the Wyn Grant spin, Varney is saying the same he always has.

    Lighten up, Ketters. It's Christmas. You can go back to being grumpy next week. ;o )
  • hudson-son-son
    I guess this is the most positive way to look at the situation.
  • Athletico Charlton
    I'm so excited..and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

    Zabeel would be brilliant.

    I want gadillions of money spent on the club not £561.98 by some local businessmen who own the local carpet shop

    Not a chance of it being Zabeel. If it was they wouldn't be going through another prolonged due diligence.

    Don't all new owners have to do that regardless?
  • sam3110sam3110
    yes they would as its a different company they are dealing with (baton 2010) and besides a lot can change financially in 2 years

  • Goonerhater
    its so total bollox isnt it ? i mean all the years we have been going down ---all the corners we have turned---- all the build ups----to be let down---thats CHARLTON. We know deap down that its not going to be the mega money and we also know deep down they will disapoint-----but we still hope its going to be really big news and the big shilling coming in------------but this is CAFC after all.

    Still my ham is cooking well and all the presents are brought and wrapped.

    A last minute gift for the wife, presumably.

    She will hate it and gift it to the Oxfam.

    So if we can just find out what their local charity shop is, Charlton Life can purchase the entire club next week for £2.99....

    This is actually really beginning to drive me crazy. Refresh, refresh, refresh on the official site - every 30 secs or so. I wish they'd just said something like 'a further announcement will be made tomorrow at 11am' or 'a further update will be provided at 8pm this evening'.
  • WSSWSS
    When my firm was bought out it got completed at 4.20am so unless you want to catch Santa in the act....
  • Covered End
    So very close but not there yet. A further announcement very soon.

    Very soon of course could range from this evening to sometime in January :-(
  • Scoham
    Matt Wright wrote the latest news on the OS and on Twitter he has said he is now off to the pub. I doubt soon means later tonight. Might even have to wait until the next working day, which would be Wednesday?

  • BigRedEvil
    Didn't we announce Pardew's appointment about 8/9pm on Xmas Eve?

    No doubt as I've been on here all day they'll announce it when I'm in the pub
  • superclive
