That’s like my local shop keep telling me he’s just sold me the winning Euromillions ticket.

“If we have to furlough some staff we will” ?
Again, not indicative of an owner flush with cash— Henry Irving (@HenryIrving10) April 13, 2020
How things a joke! Nimer promises money he don’t even have! Bowyer obviously ain’t buying into it
Bowyer ” tahnoon said not to worry…..we are going to have financial backing”
Next sentence from Bowyer ” we are one of the clubs which will struggle financially”

So he’s lying to Bows as well then. Until we see they money I have zero trust – I’d expect Bows to be a bit more circumspect than this

What do we think?
As reported by the Evening Standard, Nimer is yet to provide proof of the source and sufficiency of his funding to the EFL, following his takeover of Charlton Athletic back in January. With that in mind, it may be understandable why some Addicks fans are unconvinced by the owner’s alleged promises to Bowyer.
