So if it is Chiron then what we have learnt over the past few days: William Storey potentially put any deal back a couple of months, and could even have scuppered a realistic deal but putting in a phantom 50m deal which put an unrealistic figure in Dai's head. Then Wycombe's interest in the training...
If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....
https://www.chironsportsgroup.com/ Charlton fans not keen on Rifkind, but one of the backers is a Billionaire. Also not US based but Swiss based but the reports of an NA group could be wrong unless there are NA investors. We know they "walked away" so wouldn't be a surprise if they have c...
The big question is who with. I expect a journo will report in the next few days. I expect so, there will be no official confirmation as the EFL rules don't allow it but I would imagine one of the local journos will get a name in the neat future. Wording suggest the process could take up to 2 monts...
I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...

I think most of us are expecting any sale to be "dodgy" in some way at best, or complete fraud at worst. The guy has no intention of letting go if he can help it, so if he can flog it to a connection and keep some form of control or exert pressure to get money back down the way, that is li...
I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. This is my thinking - or even carve up the facilities and have half of the site dedicated to...
I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. By not paying for it? The current owners or this Georgian bloke would buy it and own it via ...
Thing i dont understand about the failed Bearwood sale takes on here is, the planning permission said it was for the personal use of RFC. Ok, so all you have to do if you want to buy the training ground is ask the owner of the training ground to apply for a variation of that planning permission to ...
Is that like the statement from Bowen that the sale should be complete by early New Year. Or when we should have exclusivity within about a week, three/four weeks ago. And the next thing we heard was Bearwood was being sold to Wycombe and Dai had changed his mind again? Howe's statement is obviousl...
Just seen Zane Monlouis has been called up to the Jamaica U23s squad. Completely forgot we signed this guy. Obviously not injured, any idea why he hasn't been making the squad? Would imagine he was bought in with cover in mind as we were probably a bit uncertain as to who was going to stay/leave in...
John Percy update. Semi reliable but fell for Storey's bullshit. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/03/21/reading-takeover-dai-yongge-considers-offers/ If true, shortfall issues resolve for March. Exclusivity targeted by the end of the month (i.e., next week). Genevra are back. Gotta be hone...

It would stress me a bit, but some people on here are saying its worse for footballers than a nurse working in the NHS, which is patent nonsense. Has anyone literally said the bit in bold? - may have missed it but that is naturally nonsense. But looking at the players we have on our books at the mo...
