    As mentioned up the chain it would be against 3rd party ownership rules for him to do this.

    Why? Charlton would "own" the registration, granted to them by RD. Only one party would "own" the player - the club.

    Edit: I hope you're right and I'm wrong though!

    The issue is with Roland (in your scenario) owning the rights to the player. That would constitute third party ownership, which is now prohibited.
