Quick check of the Law Society Gazette would tell you how many bent lawyers are struck off.
Who would imagine that you could get a corrupt lawyer ?
What an outrageous claim !!

Here we go again.

Not sure anybody is being seduced by money. People are simply seeking more detail before deciding whether any of this is good or bad.

Some people are against a takeover regardless.
Yes, here we go again.

Give up football as we know it and have a "I've got a bigger ******than you" contest among the owners :D
Football as a game and sport is nearly finished.

you could argue that happened in 1883 when Blackburn Olympic won the FA Cup fielding players who were paid for their efforts

Yes, you certainly could.
Another example of seduction through money, which is the point I was making.

not sure why - the guy has a terrible reputation in English football - led Liverpool on a merry dance and never showed the money, tyre kicked again at Newcastle and never showed the money - now £60m at Derby - a huge overvaluation for a club that doesn't own it's ground and has recently taken out a loan secured against the training ground - I am also struggling to remember the last time they made an operating profit, that club haemorrhages money
Fair points CP. I did read he was involved in Liverpool and Newcastle bids. Hadn’t realised he’d not actually come to the table with the cash in either instance though.

If Derby are so brassic how did they end up signing Rooney? I had no idea they were quite so financially screwed.

My general point stands though - if we are going to fall out of local ownership I would prefer it to be a super-rich billionaire. Not sure ALK or this El Kashashy bid fall in to that category, sadly.

Rooney's salary is largely covered by a deal with Shirt sponsor 32 Red - it is why he wears the number 32

from the MMT thread at the time

The trouble is, the views of people on this message board are being made as a result of what Charlton fans are saying. When asked easy questions, which the answers perhaps don't fit their view, they don't answer.
I certainly don't want somebody having control of our club who would ruin it, BUT, other than the Charlton fans coming on here, what evidence is there that we can make informed judgements from?
You make judgements based on what you are told by people and you have to determine whose views you can trust, simple as that. Whilst reading and absorbing what's said by Charlton fans on this board, I can accept that their views might be difficult to accept but you have to form your own opinions from what you have learned.

I spent a short amount of time the other day (about 20 minutes) trying to find some information on El Kashashy from which I may be able to form an opinion.

The problem was that other than articles relating to the proposed takeover of our club I was unable to find anything about him really other than he was involved in a food company in Dubai in some way.

I find it a little worrying that he is a virtual unheard of.

I've asked other people, who know where to look much more than I do, and they've come up with very similar with no suggestion whatsoever that he could have any money. I've also been given a couple of names of people to steer well clear of when they start pushing Farnell's name forward. My research has shown this to be wise information.

Sounding more likely that no takeover will actually happen.

Personally I think we are a long way down the road now. We've been trying to get investment in for well over two years since we published the prospectus. I'd be very surprised now if nothing happened.

I have no doubt that the Charlton fans who have posted on here have our best intentions as Burnley fans at heart. But it’s only reasonable that people are asking for some of the claims to be backed up with actual fact.

I’m not saying that these facts don’t exist, CT has alluded to being privy to some information, but for the rest of us looking in from the outside it all appears like speculation.

The Charlton fans have been asked some questions which should be fairly easy to answer without the risk of libel, so the lack of substance is obviously going to make some people question the claims.

What we also don’t know, which is pretty fundamental, is what role the supposedly dodgy Farnell is playing in this takeover bid, and whether he would be involved beyond the sale of the club.
This is why I’m ignoring the Charlton supporters, one posted on this topic talking about someone called Elliott when asked about Farnell.

Was it DJW who suggested that there was a third interested party? Do we know anything of who this may be?

I find it strange, if it’s true, that Garlick and other members of the board have invested so much time into this Egyptian link, if it’s as dubious as it sounds, and particularly if the ALK option is credible.

Hopefully the value being offered isn’t taking priority over the long term future of the club.

I wouldn't necessarily call them dubious although I've not found anything to suggest otherwise. As far as I know both are still actively involved.

There doesn’t appear to be too much evidence available about the business dealings where he can be held to account. The assault story I’ve no reason to doubt.

Correct, and personally I haven't seen enough evidence from either side to be able to form an opinion one way or the other. You may well be privy to information the rest of us haven't seen.
Iam a bit sceptical of certain Charlton fans on here, and elsewhere who refuse, or are unable to answer simple questions, the answers to which might not quite fit their obvious hatred of one particular person.

Hi Grumps,
I understand your reasoning about forming an opinion on somebody based on facts, but it's more or less impossible to write down any facts on a message board for obvious reasons.
What I can say is rephrase the question :-
Show me any information whatsoever that shows the people involved in the alternative bid in a good light that isn't written by themselves.

Elliott is friends with Farnell. Farnell acting as the lawyer for our previous fake sheikh introduced Elliott as the buyer (conflict of interest that is being investigated by the SRA). Elliott bought the club. Elliott is worth a reported 400k.

That's who Elliott is.
I understand that part but Elliott is surely the man to blame along with the Belgian guy?

A simple question was... Was Farnell involved with the club at the time we last played them, and they had sit down protests, and throwing of tennis balls in protests against the owners. And in addition what state did they think the club was in when they first became aware of Farnell. ... To date they haven't answered on here, and on other social media they reverted to abuse.
Good luck with your continued investigations, though I remain of the opinion if the board have made a decision, the thoughts of us fans won't matter one jot.

You keep banging this drum about what state the club(s) were in when Farnell became involved. It Makes no difference, no matter how much you try and dress it up. He got into these clubs who were desperately looking for new ownership at the time, Burnley are in the exact same position. Your man wants out.

Sounds like Claret Tony has spoken to the Charlton fans who have put together the dossier on Farnell and Co. I’ve not seen it myself, I’m sure he’ll be able to context on what he’s seen.
Of course it makes a difference. All football fans no matter who they support (or at least 95%) instantly think “oh new owners, new players, promotion, promotion again woohoo”. Then it doesn’t happen and the new owners get slated no matter how good or bad they’ve been. We’ve seen that down the road here at Blackburn. Fair enough they’ve dropped a league and made some pretty gash appointments but there still propping the club up. The club seems pretty stable in the Championship. It wouldn’t be a surprise if they go up at all, some good young players, good youth system, good manager yet they still get slated. Simply because fans want success when new owners come in, their minds runaway and get all giddy and excited.

Only banging it, because nobody answers it, and you still haven't.
Burnley are not in the same position as Charlton was, not by a long way.
Was your club a well run, debt free club when he came in, did he run it into the ground from that position? Did he asset strip the club?
Or was the club in such a crap state, due to previous owners? Had you reached rock bottom before he arrived?
As I've said, I haven't seen enough evidence to make a decision either way

Why don't you base a counter-arguement on all the good things this Farnell chap has done?

Grumps,

Why don't you base a counter-arguement on all the good things this Farnell chap has done?
From his company’s website;

’Roberto Martinez
Chris represented Roberto Martinez in his dispute with Everton FC gaining a record pay-out for his Client and also advising on Roberto Martinez appointment to the Belgian FA

Swansea City Football Club
Chris was the lead lawyer on the sale of the football club to the new owners;

Tyson Fury
Represented the former World Heavyweight Champion;

Cristiano Ronaldo
Chris acted on behalf of Cristiano Ronaldo during his time in the UK on various significant commercial matters’

It really shouldn't take very long. ;)
Perhaps longer than you think really
You shouldn't be dragged in by listening to just one side of the argument, it can make you look very silly sometimes.

Burnley are in the exact same position. Your man wants out.....so long as someone pays him and the other shareholders £200m.
Fixed it for you as you missed the fundamental difference between the two situations.

As for those saying “find the good news about him”.....why? I for one am not hailing this man the saviour as I know very little of him. I’d prefer some evidence that he’s the devil incarnate though before I jump in with the Charlton fans view.

You can scrap Ronaldo off this list.

I’m not sure I can scrap him off the list. Has Farnell been implicated in any way with Ronaldo’s charges? And if so why hasn’t he been charged. The quote from the website states that Farnell advised Ronaldo when he was based in the UK. As far as I’m aware Ronaldo was charged for offences in Spain.

Could at least Read the article Fella:

The Real Madrid star is also reported to have said his complex tax structure was designed not by his agent Jorge Mendes or anybody at Gestifute, but by English experts recommended by his former club Manchester United.

Ronaldo reportedly told the judge that Mendes and Correia were not responsible for his tax structure, which dated from his time at Old Trafford and had been designed by a lawyer recommended by United.

That is why we created [company] Tollin. Chris Farnell, who was Manchester United's lawyer, was recommended to me. Not by Jorge Mendes or Carlos Osorio, by the club itself. Chris told me that this was what all footballers do. I did not want to be an exception. Yes I want to be exceptional, always on the pitch, but off the pitch I just want to be like everyone else.

Don't get why people are getting at Charlton boy, he literally has nothing to gain from making a member on this board and advising us of CAFC's experience with our potential suitors. I am pretty sure that there is more going on in South London than needing to come on here to bait a few Burnley fans.
This board is far from an enjoyable place at the moment, every thread descends into annoying bickering which is off subject matter anyway. Before you say don't bother coming on then, I am interested in the potential take over, otherwise I really wouldn't bother. Rant over

A simple question was... Was Farnell involved with the club at the time we last played them, and they had sit down protests, and throwing of tennis balls in protests against the owners. And in addition what state did they think the club was in when they first became aware of Farnell. ... To date they haven't answered on here, and on other social media they reverted to abuse.
Good luck with your continued investigations, though I remain of the opinion if the board have made a decision, the thoughts of us fans won't matter one jot.
