Desperation by the people selling to find any way out or a misguided attempt to draw in credible bidders by raising the "club is for sale" profile are the only (admittedly a bit far fetched) reasons I can think of.

Didn't stop those two chancers you enjoy being an apologist for. One of them has scuttled off back to his level, yet the other is f***ing another poor L1 club over as we speak.
Not sure it would have quite the same pizazz with Storey and presumably Hagrid or one of ZZ Top as the protagonists, mind.

donald and methven didnt have the money to own the club on their own..thats why they didnt..they brought in a wealthier person..they ploughed millions in and sold it on to a wealthier person..
Donald is/was a bufoon and his investment in SAFC was a disaster for him,,#
But even then..he is in a different league to Storey...who couldnt even buy eastleigh today never mind a good club..

Methven might have been the 'brains' behind the operation but he's a scum bag pure and simple.
Id rather have had the scruffy homeless twat storey than the salmon pant wearing tory hoop licker

you'd rather have storey who would have had to put the club into administration cos he couldnt fund it..than methven who brought the billioanires to the table to fund it?
remarkable..

You're forgetting the blue chip backers.
Storey would have been found out much quicker and maybe we'd have ended up with someone decent much quicker rather than being dragged through the worst four years in our entire history whilst being connected to that detestable arsehole.

here is what chalrton think of him...Elliott makes no bones about his support for Methven’s takeover and his approach to running the club. “I would not be here if I didn’t believe in the senior leadership and their strategic vision,” he says. “There’s been lots of stuff said about Charlie Methven but I work closely with him and I like him. I trust him. He’s the one that’s brought in the investment. He’s responsible, and the club could have again been in a dark place if it wasn’t for his intervention."

I think Calladine is overlooking the insolvency provisions.
they become the subject of:
- an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (including any fast track voluntary arrangement);
- a debt relief order (in accordance with the provisions of Part 7A of the 1986 Act);
- an administration order (in accordance with Part 6 of the County Courts Act 1984);
- an enforcement restriction order (in accordance with the provisions of Part 6A of the County Courts Act 1984);
- a debt management scheme or debt repayment plan (in accordance with provisions of Chapter 4 of Part 5 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007); and/or
- an Interim Bankruptcy Restriction Order, a Bankruptcy Restriction Order or a Bankruptcy Order (or any equivalent provisions in any jurisdiction which has a substantially similar effect); or
- any equivalent provision in any other jurisdiction which has a substantially similar effect, and in each case as may be amended from time to time;
they have been subject to two or more arrangements, orders, schemes, plans or provisions in respect of any of the matters set out in paragraph 2.1.11, irrespective of whether any arrangement, order, scheme, plan or provision is current or not;
in respect of an Entity, it suffers an Insolvency Event;
they are or have been a Director of a Club (or club) which, while they have been a Director of it, has suffered two or more unconnected Events of Insolvency in respect of each of which a deduction of points was imposed (and for the purposes of this paragraph 2.1.14 and paragraph 2.1.15 a Person shall be deemed to have been a Director of a Club (or club) which has suffered an Event of Insolvency if such Event of Insolvency occurred in the one year immediately following their having resigned as a Director of that Club (or club));
they have been a Director of two or more Clubs (or Clubs) each of which, while they have been a Director of them, have suffered an Insolvency Event in respect of each of which a deduction of points was imposed;
GuidanceFor the purpose of paragraph 2.1.1 The reference to Premier League’s rules include their Owner’s Charter and rules regarding not forming a competitive competition (i.e Super League).
For the purposes of paragraphs 2.1.14 and 2.1.15, the definition of ‘Director’ and ‘Insolvency Event’ shall be deemed to apply to clubs in the same way as to Clubs.
they have been in an equivalent role to that of a Director:
- in at least two Entities that have each been subject to or suffered unconnected Events of Insolvency; or
- in an Entity that has been subject to or suffered two or more unconnected Events of Insolvency, and in either case the Events of Insolvency occurred in the immediately preceding ten years following their ceasing to act in that capacity, or within one year thereafter.
For the purposes of this paragraph:- where any Entity has been subject to more than one Event of Insolvency during the process of compromising or entering into a composition with its creditors (for example, administration followed by exit via a company voluntary arrangement), this will only count as one Event of Insolvency;
- it shall not apply where the Person is carrying out an equivalent role to that of a Director in their capacity as an Officeholder;
they are subject to any unsatisfied judgment or court order for payment of any monetary amount (provided all appeal rights have been exhausted);
As Calladine's own analysis of Storey's record at Companies House shows, he has been involved in at least two companies which have become insolvent. On that basi, in my opinion, he would fail.

Elliott has signed up as director there, what else is he going to say? -
"I'm here under duress, every fibre in my being is screaming that this extravagantly-trousered dimwit coiffured toff is a moron on every level, but fuck it, I'll give it a go anyway - it's costing me nowt as I'm here in name only."

he could have declined to be a director as he did under all the previous other owners..thats the point..he chose to get involved with these owners and not any of the others..
why would it be costing him money..he isnt an owner of the club..or a shareholder..? As Charlton is owned by a large consortium his job is to safe gaurd the interests of the minority shareholders

Meh, good luck with that. Look, you and CM clearly have some bond or history, but no one on here is likely to hold him in a similarly high regard. People have their own eyes and their own judgement to rely on, and most found the guy to be...lacking, if I'm being polite.

not only have i never met methven..my friend who dealt with him fell out badly with him and diesnt like him..so while people on here think I am him..the resality is..I dont even like the man!
But noit being a child-I can seperate my personal dislike for the person from reality-and the rea;ity is that while methven is a malevolent and srupid person..he did bring the billioanire to SAFC..and he did bring the money to charlton..
Reality is a good thing..you should try it some time..you might even get to like it..

You were doing SO well until that patronising fuckwittery in the final sentence. I've never honestly believed you WERE Charles Charlie Charles until your obvious unpleasantness got the better of you and you added that nonsense at the end there. And seeing as you've taken that horribly smug tone, sod off back to Eton and ask them to help with your literacy skills, you clueless gonk.
