Was thinking the same - Martin and Roger Alwen must be mortified by what's going on at a club they did so much for. ....
Another really good article. Just watched the vid of the DJ in the lounge. Hilarious. What were they thinking when they dreamed that one up. Comedy gold Katrien :-)
My only question to you LuckyReds is, now what are you going to do with it? I think it is very good, but if it is only seen by CL readers it is a waste of time. It must be seen by the general public and Charlton fans that are not on this forum. I hope you have luck getting a newspaper to publish it

Not a clue what to do with it to be honest! It started as a few notes on the Q&A session.. then just grew. I think I have a few similar things kicking about on my computer from when I get bored at work. I broke out the red pen and made a few corrections just now, so I'll probably do a final check again after work.
The problem is, it seems like an awfully long thing to read - and I'm not sure if it's very appealing for anyone outside of CharltonLife and the immediate supporters. It's frustrating as we're the ones who already know that stuff!
Interesting that the budget has increased (RM) 40% to be the 3rd lowest in the division (KM). Can someone post Powell's squad prior to takeover. Suspect someone is telling porkies again! I look forward to the next set of published accounts.

Nice catch, not to mention that by Murray's logic - Roland was a huge idiot for sacking Chris Powell who had a drastically smaller budget and no network, but was averaging a win every 5 matches. (In contrast, this season we are averaging a win every 12 (soon to be 13.) games)
Having a quick check of Charlton Athletic Football Company Ltd on DueDil, I'm going to take a punt that their accounts until 06/2015 will be available within the next month or so. This should give us a good picture of the finances involved in their first year.

Disappointing to note that despite this company being formed on our return to the Valley following financial meltdown, it' Articles of Association are that of an off the shelf company with a wide range of general aims. I'd certainly have specified "play football at the Valley".
Accounts for all 3 entities due by 31st March though I reckon they will submit prior to that, can now download a significant proportion of company and officer information via the Beta service at www.gov.uk/companieshouse , have checked it out briefly and seems to work OK and is free.
Rather shockingly for such a long article, over 220 people have made the effort of reading it according to the stats on medium.
Thanks to anyone who has popped it on Facebook and Twitter, as a few readers originate from there too.
And I suspect those that made it to the end is probably around the 70-80 mark.
Very sad evolution of the Internet, social media etc is people's ability to read more than 600-800 words is a very small percentage.
When I checked there were 450 views but 220+ actual "read"; I suspect you're right in that it's a bit optimistic! I'm not sure how Medium calculates what a "read" institutes; browsing to the end of the article?

hah, as for the video of the DJ; I had to work that in there somehow - it's the greatest thing to come of the club in the last 2 years. Not a clue what to do with it to be honest!

Must say I had a giggle at the way it appears when tweeted..

You couldn't make it up.
