Charlton takeover close

It's been a long drawn out saga, but Charlton manager Lee Bowyer is hopeful that the takeover of the club could be completed by the January transfer window: Takeover close

The likely purchasers are the Australian-based consortium that has been involved for over a year, but it is understood that the composition of the consortium has changed.

    Long drawn out saga doesn't do the 4-5 yrs of misery justice. Too many false dawns to treat this seriously but when it does happen CAFC fans will have one hell of a party.

    I think it should be before the window opens, it's so important to hang onto our playing assets, but we have had so many promises , I won't get excited until the man on the Tele says "watcha cobbers " eres the new chairman.

    The fact that Lee Bowyer has brought it up and the reconstitution of the consortium makes me more optimistic.

    My only concern is that it has taken such a long time to get this far, whatever the current owner has done wrong he does pay the bills , and the academy is as strong as it ever has been ,I have supported Charlton since 1961 and believe me we have been in some almighty financial scrapes , none more so than the early 1980s when the club came within minutes of liquidation , so yes I welcome a change of ownership , but one that can take a period of loss making , but would pull out all the stops when chances of promotion seem possible , and we as supporters don't have to continually fear transfer windows . All my years as a Charlton supporter we have always sold are best players, this is just in my time as a supporter ,
    Marvin Hinton , Mike Bailey , Alan Campbell ,Len Glover , Paul Went , Billy Bonds,Derek Hales, Mike Flanagan, Paul Walsh , Paul Elliot, Robert Lee, Scot Parker, Scot Minto , just a sample , at the time they were sold they were arguably our top players , and it has been no different under the current regime no list required, just want the club to be taken over by people who can truly raise our profile instead of more of the same , the facts are that we are a loss making football club. There I've said it.

Wolves get raw deal from FFP

  I used to see a lifelong Wolves fan for lunch once a month.   He was approaching ninety, but still went to games.   Sadly he passed away the other week. As football finance guru Kieran Maguire has noted, Wolves continue to be constrained by financial fair play rules.  Radio 4 this morning described them as this year's 'crisis club' and the pessimists have certainly been piling in. Martin Samuel wrote sympathetically in the Sunday Times yesterday, saying that the Premier League drives talent away with regulatory red tape: 'Why could Al-Hilal sign Neves? Because Wolves needed the money. And why did Wolves need the money? Because the club had to comply with an artificial construct known as financial fair play. So Wolves are going skint, yes? No. There is no suggestion that Wolves are in financial trouble, only that they are failing to meet the rigours of FFP. Wolves’ owners appear to have the money to run the club, and invest in the club, and in fact came up with a pow

Gold standard ground boosts Tottenham's income

The gold standard in European football grounds is the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in north London, a £1bn construction project completed in 2019. Its impact on the club’s finances has become increasingly clear as the effects of the pandemic have faded. Previously, the average fan would spend less than £2 inside the ground on a typical match day, but now that figure is about £16, thanks to new facilities including the longest bar in Europe and an on-site microbrewery. Capacity has gone up from 36,000 at the club’s previous home of White Hart Lane to 62,000.  The new stadium — built on land adjacent to White Hart Lane — has opened the door to a broad range of other events that have helped to push commercial income up from €117mn in 2018 to €215mn in 2022. Last year, Tottenham hosted US singer Beyoncé for five nights on her global Renaissance tour, two NFL matches, as well as rugby games and heavyweight boxing bouts.  Money brought in from football has gone up too. Match day income is
