Florida Owl Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Another bidder in for Leeds. Am i missing something? They don't own their ground They are in a worse financial state than us We have a similar fan base size (maybe not global) Both from same county Same division Same last poo poo 10 years So why are they more attractive to potential buyers than us? Don't get it. I'm all ears for suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 They are a bigger name than us. Leeds is considered a more important city than Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get it. I'm all ears for suggestions Judging by the caliber of their last bidder, they're welcome to them. Milan has said we've had people asking questions but no one has been able to show him their money.... Just because he isn't vocal about every bit of interest he, doesn't mean we aren;t having any. I like that about Milan. If he came out and told us about this interest, that interest, the other interest and nothing happened, fans would soon start to whinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 More successful (won title versus 2nd cup of importance in this country), been in the Champions League in recent'ish times, better global name recognition (many countries don't call the middle day of the week Wednesday so it's confusing to them), slightly bigger fanbase here and abroad (sorry but it's probably true).

RobbieOwler Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Oh Leeds, Leeds, Leeds let me get what I want.It's just not fair we don't have any dodgy mentalists wanting to take us over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest christheowl Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I may be wrong, but I am sure someone put something on here about non match day revenue and Leeds blew us out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt109 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I may be wrong, but I am sure someone put something on here about non match day revenue and Leeds blew us out of the water! I think you'r right, I seem to remember seeing something re club turnover a couple of years ago, ours was somewhere around £12/13 million [we were in league1] theirs was over £30 million though they were in the championship. This is a couple of years old http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/54397/championship-debt-profits-wages-to-turnover-etc-2011-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbieOwler Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When do we announce our turnover for the previous season? I'm sure it's normally December. We should put all those 'We're losing £5 million a year' crowd to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Owl Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 One club City has far more appeal to any investor. Also past recent glories has a lot of sway. Mind you if we win the cup this year all that could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
