If you go back a little further, you will find that the individual involved in the Charlton bid had been attempting to buy out Leeds. On that occasion proof of funds certainly was an issue, and as with the Charlton offer it completely split the board.
The meaning of my comment is that no-one disputed that the consortium's net worth was somewhat higher than what they said they would spend on Charlton. Whether or not anything like the sort of money promised would actually be made available was the sticking point. When our board voted on Bassini's takeover in early 2011, the concern was whether he could raise the necessary money even if he was inclined to.
IRC didn't one of Kevin Affleck's tweets indicate that the buyer has previous experience in the football world. I would think that it would indicate Pozzo of Udinese and Granada fame to be the more likely canditate.
i've never needed much sleep...honest! Though i am worried, and the longer the silence continues, the worse the speculation becomes... no news, no answers, no need to worry?
Yes SSN are reporting there was an extraordinary board meeting on friday amid rumours of a takeover and not enough funds currently being available.
