Oh come on, I think we all enjoyed that comment at the time. 24000 were going mental because we'd sent them down & maybe a chairman shouldn't get so involved but I believe Jordan wasn't shy with his remarks about Charlton at the time or since.kentaddick said:
as much as a prick i think simon jordan is, i think murray's "enjoy the championship" comment was classless, and seems to be a general reflection of the man in hindsight.iamdan said:Simon Jordan reiterating his dislike for Charlton on Talksport. ‘Richard Murray’

Ozzies need to break cover and get some info out one way or another. Fans and more importantly staff need to know if this is coming to a conclusion, makes a difference for both groups on what's the next step.6

So focusing on the takeover element of that email leak...
- RD intention to sale clearly stated from horse's mouth
- Charlton are still maintaining the non-sale is down to the Aussies.
- it doesn't appear anything is imminent. In fact on the face of it, it looks like things have remained pretty much unmoved in the last month.0 -

Part of latest RD statement
“The club makes a very significant operating loss every month which is out of proportion with the occasional player sales revenue intended to offset these operating losses. Various parties interested in taking over have been put off by the high running costs. This is a matter of restoring the financial health of the club, which had got out of control for a League One club.

Yep, nothing to do with the massively over inflated asking price that RD wants. He's told us what it really is, it's the running costs that can only ever be slightly lower than they are now (and only if you strip the club back to the point where it's barely operational) and can only possibly rise if/when new owners get us promoted.ross1 said:Part of latest RD statement

Let's travel to an alternative universe. One were a concerned EFL has the powers and the spine to remove shambolic owners. What would happen next? There's no way the EFL could or would pay to keep CAFC running. (Others clubs would be up in arms.) So, there would be no money. The club would, at least, go into administration but possibly liquidation. What else could possibly be done? Anyone any suggestions?addick05 said:

I think you'll find, Roly, that four years spent systematically alienating your supporters and destroying your revenue streams as a result is also not helping.ross1 said:Part of latest RD statement

Fans forum Tonight all will be said is talks ongoing about takeover.3

I really hope we get clarification on exactly what is making this takeover go on so long1

At a guess I would think it's because Roland is a complete and is asking far too much moneyJ BLOCK said:I really hope we get clarification on exactly what is making this takeover go on so long

In general, what EXACTLY can the EFL do with bad owners? It's not as if the EFL can come in and decide on a price, or decide who the next owner is.cafcfan said:

True, he cant be made to sell, but maybe they could fine the rancid old scrote. Didn't the Accrington chairman get fined for buying his players a burger?killerandflash said:

And the fine would be against the club, so he's probably take it out of the light bulb budget or sell another player in January to pay it0 -
We're on page 1213. I reckon it'll be done by the time we get to page 121314.0

You hear of fan buyouts! Is there actually a way of doing that?0

Usually for smaller clubs though.CafcSCP said:You hear of fan buyouts! Is there actually a way of doing that?
If he wants 40 million that would mean 10k Charlton fans needing to find 4k each. Possible of course but unlikely.
But even if that could happen, then comes the bigger problem, finding even more money to run the club.
Not really going to happen.0 -
If around 5,000 fans put in around £8,000 each and allocate another £8,000 each for a couple of years running costs then yes - an offer could be made. Might need a bit less than that as I'm sure he wouldn't expect £40m up front - but I think they are the ballpark figures. More realistically - get a collection of fans together (who could afford it) and offer to buy into the Aussie consortium to get a "fan's voice" as part of the ownership.CafcSCP said:You hear of fan buyouts!

One reason for having an active Supporters' Trust.CafcSCP said:You hear of fan buyouts! Is there actually a way of doing that?
There are clubs where the Trust owns shares and assists in the management of the club. Swansea on their way up to the Premiership are an example although it all fell apart in the Prem I believe.
@PragueAddick has researched this previously if memory serves me right and posted about it.

Trying to save money Roland! More protest coming your way with more running cost they bring to come your way.
Just give up wipe your mouth and stop trying to get others to pay for your mistakes1 -
