For those who missed the excitement last night, and don't fancy wading through 28 pages (and counting) of confusion, wibbling, cursing and gloom, here's a brief summary...
Tahnoon posted the following on his instagram:
There was the usual discussion debating whether it was a hack, with concerned/concerning tweets from Rich Cawley, Jimmy Stone, and
@Airman Brown posted suggesting that it wasn't being instantly dismissed, as well as this one purporting to be a voice note from Nimer himself:
Rough transcript for those who don't have twitter or are hard of hearing:
"Your Chairman had ripped the club with his team. I'm not happy to give my money to the people to rip this money. The club guys, and they take all the money for them, to live a nice bread (?), to get a range rovers and use the money for the bitches.(pitches?) You should ask Matt Southwell (sic). Guys, he cheat you. He take all the money which I put in the club and it has been gone for his lifestyle." This convinced some sceptics, but not
@Gillis 
If this is genuine, I'll get Nimer's face tattooed on Greenie Junior's arse.
Entertainingly, only three posts later,
@ForeverAddickted linked to this tweet which said
"I’ve had confirmation that Instagram post is ‘100% real’. This is going to get nasty." I think Greenie Junior may have to make sure he doesn't get drunk while Gillis is around any time soon, in case he wakes up in the tattooist's chair.

Cue general CharltonLife meltdown, with the best summary of the situation at that point coming from @AFKABartram
In the old days I think this would have been the point where the hamsters powering the servers would have given up the ghost, as the posts flew in thick and fast. All sorts of different questions, but in summary a collective "WHAT THE F*** IS GOING ON?" and sympathy for @iamdan who probably didn't think his day could get any worse.
Also a link to a screenshot of a conversation on Tahnoon's instagram, which seems to reject Southall's version of the proof of funds issue:
will keep closed so doesn’t get filled with posts. Message me and one of the mods when you want to update next
It is with regret that the board of Charlton Athletic Football Club accepts Tahnoon Nimer's resignation as a director with immediate effect.
Following the events of March 9th, his position is now untenable and the board has no option but to accept his resignation.
The board of Charlton Athletic and the Senior Management Team will continue to run the club with its best long-term interests at heart.
3) Then just before 11am Tahnoon Nimer updated his instagram. Oh boy...
In the last hour or so, he's updated as follows:
Also a caller in to Love Sport radio was claiming to have paperwork showing both Southall and Nimer were taking money out of the club, but I've no links to that yet
There was a call from "Stuart" about 31 mins in summarised here:
However, given the high level of interest in the media, we feel it only right for Charlton's staff, players and supporters to be made aware of the club's position in a clear and concise manner.
The Club wish to make it clear that Matt Southall has their full support in his role as Executive Chairman and are looking forward to working with him into the future towards a positive end to this current season and beyond.
All the public allegations levelled at Mr Southall by either Mr Nimer or his advisors are denied in their entirety and Mr Southall retains the full backing of the club and its Board.
Mr Tahnoon Nimer, in his capacity as majority shareholder of ESI, has made various funding guarantees to the Club but as of yet the EFL remain unsatisfied regarding the source and sufficiency of any funds proffered.
The Club is grateful for the EFL’s statement of March 10 clarifying this position and would like it made clear that, as a result of Mr Nimer’s failure to provide the information sought by the EFL, the club was subject to a transfer embargo during the January window.
If the information the EFL require is not forthcoming the Club is at risk of further sanction by the EFL and it is taking advice in this regard.
In the meantime, and until further notice, no statements made by either Mr Nimer or his advisors should be understood to represent the Club’s position.
The Board are hopeful that this matter is resolved soon to allow all parties to concentrate on the remainder of the 2019-2020 season.

A brief comment from Lyle on instagram
(@i_b_b_o_r_g I haven't forgotten about the stuff about the legals, but it's making my head hurt to put in a logical order and format, so I'm going to come back to it once I've gone through the tonight's latest mayhem)

Members of the club’s senior management met on Friday morning to discuss next steps.
The club is assured by the commitment from HE Tahnoon Nimer and hopes the directors resolve their differences for the best of everyone at Charlton Athletic.
In the meantime the main focus remains on running the club in the most efficient way possible and coordinating activity in response to today’s postponement of games, until at least April 3rd."
We have today written an open letter to him in an attempt to arrange a meeting as soon as possible.

"CAST has today written a follow-up letter to the EFL seeking a meeting to clarify the procedures around the ratification of East Street Investments Ltd and the implications of the continuing absence of the required evidence of source and sufficiency of funds:

Not sure where this is from, from the byline I'm assuming The Sun
or via the Tune In Radio site here: https://tunein.com/radio/Charlton-Live-s268151/ .
From the looks of the Charlton Live twitter feed there have been some issues for users of Google Chrome in recent weeks, so check this tweet and the follow-up for guidance how you might be able to fix it:
