Not sure if this has already been posted, apologies if it has. Must be a slow day for Digger, as this seems really remote speculation.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/07/sepp-blatter-smaller-european-leaguesCharlton Athletic fans are wondering whether Kevin Cash, a super-wealthy property developer, has funded the club's recent takeover.
The Addicks' newly installed chairman, Michael Slater, is an 11% shareholder and the chairman of Reflex Vehicle Solutions, a car-rental firm of which Cash's Rose Property Holdings owns pretty much all of the remaining 89%. Charlton are obliged under Football League rules to announce all backers who own more than 10% of the club, and they have declared only Slater and Tony Jimenez as the major shareholders. A spokesman for the pair confirmed yesterday: "The majority owners of the club are Tony and Michael; there are several minority shareholders who each have less than 10% in the holding company."
There is obviously no reason to disbelieve the spokesman but neither is there any way of independently checking – not even for the Football League. As revealed here on Tuesday, Charlton's parent company, CAFC Holdings, is registered in the British Virgin Islands, where shareholders and directors need not be disclosed.

Nice Edit! Haha
Interesting stuff anyways
Take it he won't be venturing up to the North stand for a pastie!
I believe that Michael Slater was the person that actually fired the bloke.
Cash was claiming that he couldn't be responsible, because he didn't actually employ him. He was employed by a "company".
And I wouldn't blow my dough on a no mark club like Charlton. ;-)

" It is big business behind this" says the ex wife. " it is just not a divorce. It involves offshore companies registered in tax havens. THIS MONEY SHOULD BE GOING INTO THE ECONOMY"
I'm sure KC said amen to that!;-)
I know bringing up kids is expensive (I have 3 under 10 ) but that figure is ludicrous. I'm not saying im on his side, but any sensible person can see that no-one needs that about of money to live on...........perhaps if he was told he had to pay £2k pm then he may well have complied.
To be fair if the bloke is worth £400M+ then paying his two daughters £2K pcm is not enough. I would imagine they were at Private School with the trimmings, plus what Dad would not want the best for his kids. Sure he says he lost the lot but I would bet thats only because he can't remember the account number for the offhore account it all sits in.
Thought it was...here's the story. Remember it being posted at the time.

No wonder cash pulled out if he was bankrolling her. Seems a bit high maintenance!
Unfortunately Rosie the dog has died...
