Not very funny pun on gearingSoundAsa£ said:

Yeah, a lot of gear in can properly erode the profits i've heard.Athletico Charlton said:
Is the portfolio geared? If so it may not make him any actual cash.NabySarr said:
He’s got a personal property portfolio worth over £2m and his own property business. It’s a guess but I’d say he’d earn more money if he retired and focused full time on that, than he is earning from Shrewsbury who probably have one of the lower budgets in league 2. There’s loads of references to him being very switched on with his money, even from when he was younger at arsenalSporadicAddick said:
How does this forum collectively know that financially he doesn’t need to carry on?NabySarr said:Happy to see him find another club, thought there was a good chance he’d pack it in. Financially he doesn’t need to carry on so must be doing it because he still really wants to play football. Hope he smashes it0 -
Every match I've been to this season one of our group has gone "time to get Chuks on?" around the 70min mark! He'll always be with us ❤️9

It might surprise you to learn that there are companies in other countries too. If I had a property company (I don't and, strangely, neither did Angela Rayner) it would be registered in the Isle of Man and be a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Cayman Islands Holding company with nominee directors. (Or as an alternative maybe an IoM IPUT.)SporadicAddick said:

A personal property portfolio of £2m, at average yields and before costs, isn't likely to be a sole source of income, particularly as in London (the most likely location), that would consists of maybe 2 or 3 properties.
It's unusual for a business of that "scale" to not be registered as a limited company. Chuks Aneke is not registered as being involved in an active business. He could be a sole trader, but it's unusual (How do we know he has a property portfolio worth £2million? Because he wrote it on a website).
Chuks is recorded at Companies House for "Chuks Aneke Promotions Limited". That company was dissolved in 2018.
He appears to have an affiliation with a property company, 3sixty Property Group. There is no suggestion that this is his "own property business". I can't find that company registered at Companies House either, nor the suggested partner Henry Homes (great name).
In fairness, the Company does have a website with a mobile number, a Hotmail email address, and a "Cokkies Policy". It doesn't have a correspondence address.
I genuinely hope he is financially secure (and he may well be - footballers earn a good wage), but I'd suggest the view that "financially he doesn't need to carry on" is an opinion on this forum that has grown legs and is now stated as fact when there is no evidence that it is.2 -
With the added bonus of the opposition defence sh*t a brick when they see him enter the field of playNabySarr said:
I think the biggest Aneke example is the 4-4 game with Ipswich a couple of years ago. Didn’t get a goal or assist but I think played a part in 3 or 4 of the goals and inspired the comeback.Briston_Addick said:
It may not even be the "pre-assist" that's the significant contribution to a goal.fenaddick said:You’re looking for pre-assists @Briston_Addick but that’s still only the pass before the assist and isn’t carried in a lot of places
Steve Brown wins the ball (of course it was a legal challenge!) for Kins to play out wide to Steve Jones whose cross gets met by Super Clive for a hat-trick.
Mendonca gets the goal, Jones the assist. If such a thing exists Kinsella has the "pre-assist" for the penultimate pass ... but none of that happens without Brownie and apart from the goal itself that's the most significant part of the move but only recognised in our heads, not on the stats sheet.I don’t think you measure Aneke’s impact with goals or assist stats. Did the team get better after he came on is a better measure, and in the majority of games we did get better after he came on, which again contributed a lot to
us picking up late wins0 -
You are either taking the p*** or do not have a clue.NabySarr said:
If Olaofe comes off the bench every game this season and contributes to us staying up I’ll be happy. It’s a squad game, if players are contributing to wins and draws then I’m happy, don’t care if it’s for 30 minutes a game if that’s their role in the squadElfsborgAddick said:
Ridiculous post, are you his father?NabySarr said:
I don’t care how many minutes a player plays each game if they contribute to wins and points. Which Aneke did last year, and has always done for us when fit. If you care then feel free to work it out yourself. His injuries have obviously been a problem but him only playing half an hour each game was fine as it helped us get more wins and pointsElfsborgAddick said:NabySarr said:
Would add as well that he made 28 league appearances and we only lost 5 of those games. And as we know he often came on when we were losing/drawing, in 2 of those losses the score line improved after he came on. I don’t think you can say he wasn’t impactful at allNabySarr said:
Was our joint top assister last season, and I think his overall impact was underrated. He was our plan B, if we needed a goal he’d come on and we’d go more direct and it so often worked well and we scored late goalskillerandflash said:
Whether it's down to ability or fitness, he sadly isn't a L1 footballer now, or else a L1 club would have signed himNabySarr said:
Don’t think that has much to do with his footballing ability though. He’s easily a league 1 level footballer which he showed with the impact he made last season for uskillerandflash said:It says something, that yet another player who we let go ends up at the wrong end of L2.
And to be honest, last season he wasn't even that impactful when he came on. If he had retired in the summer, it wouldn't have been a massive shock.
I think he showed he’s still capable at that level. Due to the obvious huge risk that comes with signing him he’s had to drop to league 2, if his fitness was guaranteed for 30 sub appearances then loads of league 1 teams would sign him because he’s still good enough at that levelThe league appearances total a minimum of 2,520 minutes, can you please come back with how many minutes he played.
I cannot take you seriously.0 -
It would still be registered on UK companies house due to Anti Money Laundering rules. All property owning companies have to be now, and their UBOs need to be too.cafcfan said:

Charlton will retire bench 3 in the medical room out of respect to Chuks Aneke, who now at 32 will play for fun at Shrewsbury in League 2 under Micky Apples while seeking out some country properties for his portfolio.
👏🏼for Chuks since he came off the bench in his first debut and scored after 5 minutes. Also the headed flick on for 'Godden again' at the business end of last season.
If only...😔0 -
"A bit of work" may be the understatement of the year.
Love to see him bang a few in though4 -
