They sound dodgy as hell according to the Express and Star article, the Farnell guy was banned from being a football director at Charlton, and has been involved in 2 failed takeovers already which is never a good sign.
Seems like a pair of chancers who sniff blood in the water here, certainly they don't seem to have much money, nor competence. Also seems like the situation could very easily get worse with them, not better.
Hopefully it falls through, don't want them associated with the club in anyway. We're a basket case as it is without letting more into the fold. You'd think at some point we're due an owner who actually invests in the club, there can't be too many clubs our profile who've had so little investment.
I'd urge everyone to have a read of this:

This isn't somebody I want associated with the club, the only relief comes from the fact I doubt very much they would pass the owners & directors test
So basically he's a snake people who will struggle to pass the fit and owners person test use to try and smooth things over (and think, given the amount of bad owners who've made it through that test how bad you need to be to fail it!). Accordign to wiki he's also had court cases against him for hitting his wife, and perjury, seems a delightful man....
Judging by the fact he seemingly wrote his wiki, he's probably reading these comments.
