Businessman Paul Elliott is successful in an appeal to be granted an injunction blocking the sale of Charlton Athletic.

It's a shambles , two groups of crooks in a court case over which group owns the club. The court kick the can down the road with their non decision. The wealthy guy , Thomas Sandgaard who wants to buy the club doesn't know which group to deal with. 4 or 5 players were lined up to sign if the court made a decision , including Adam Matthews and Lynch ( both ex Sunderland ). We now won't get a decision until November so this season is pretty much a write off. We will be selling rather than strengthening.

Shocking mate, a disgrace that these ***** are allowed to do this to clubs.

Surely the EFL should be jumping in to help sort out this sort of mess.

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

Tragic that is. I think we have a real affinity with Charlton after the 2 play offs - on both occasions your fans were friendly and a credit to the club - in stark contrast to Portsmouth fans who were horrendous. You don't deserve such tawdry owners.

Aye, I quite like Charlton, decent set of fans. Hope they survive. At the same time, I'll happily see them weakened for this season so it's decent news for us. Hopefully we go up, and they can get sorted next season

The EFL doing the right thing

My CAFC supporting mate has just messaged me to say:

"Injunction granted to the guy with a pound to stop the guy with half a billion quid buying. Injunction on any sale until November at the earliest. Would expect Bowyer and staff to leave in next few weeks along with any players worth more than 100k"

I’d take Bowyer like a shot

You would think so but the EFL are a small time outfit and don't want to get involved in any potential costly legal cases. They sit back and do nothing. The guy Elliott who has obtained the injunction to stop a sale has failed the EFL tests , which sets the bar pretty low.

 

[The Pro From Dover]

Maybe. But under the current ownership????? Its not just the manager that is our problem don't forget!!

True, but he’s one manager I think any new ownership that potentially comes in may not have to replace right off the bat.

 

[cabbage]

Fuck me and we think we are a mess

exactly - wont be the last either

 

[Nicky Winterwasp]

Shameful

 

[gatopreto]

They were in disarray two years ago. Still better than us and ruined another Wembley day out.

They’ve got a similar standard squad to us now (Slightly better even) and have been pretty much under embargo. Sums up how pathetic our recruitment is .

Agree. Speaks volumes.
Remember when bolton put together a squad of rejects in 2 weeks and we couldn't beat them after 3 windows of having the biggest budget at this level.

That's Bowyer's strength , he get's the best out of what he's got. He gets players playing to the best of their ability , if he stays we will be competitive but as my old man used to say ' you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear '

Jesus. How much more shit can you lads take.
Puts our problems into perspective.
Hope it works out eventually mate. KTF

Who are the players you are expecting to now leave like @NickAddicks

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Can see them losing McAuley Bonne - already has Championship interest after 11 goals last year.

Signed from non-league as well - wish we could go out and find some players off the beaten track.

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

Sack Parkinson the moment Boyer walks and bring him in. He’s a manager that I think could actually achieve promotion with us.

That’s what was said about most of the others and look what happened.

Goalkeeper Dillon Phillips , Bonne forward and Alfie Doherty are the 3 that are worth dosh. Doherty is going to be a very good player , another one from the academy as is Phillips. Bonne was probably playing above his level last season but still scored double figures , came from non league and expected to do well this season.

Couldn’t beat them on both occasions

How have Aneke and Oztumer been for you?
I know the former has been injured a lot and you haven't had the latter for long. I'm guessing Championship is a bit above their level, they're both very good League 1 players though (as is Gilbey, very good signing that).

He was linked to us last year, before he went to Charlton.
