Charlton Athletic New Owners - Men of Straw

[Zoophonic]

Anybody been following this story? In December when the new owner took over there was general excitement that huge funds were incoming. Now seems that may not be the case and the Club is said to be in crisis yet again with a row between the owner and the Chairman who has accused him of not fulfilling his promises.

What we're the issues when Karanka didn't turn up v Charlton when the fans were blowing whistles, what that against the previous board?

That was against the previous owner.

One of the new recommendations to the EFL is that new owners are asked to prove they have the money in advance.

Wasn't that always the case Rob?
I find it very strange if not mind

The same is happening up the A19

It’s outrageous that the Football League can sanction the purchase of a Club without due diligence on the buyer.

And to think some fans would welcome a buyer of this ilk such is their disdain for the man who has personally funded the dreams of thousands.
