The major problem with this kind of "sound-bite" coverage of our story is that it doesn't allow the time for the facts to be coherently outlined and debated. This would be far better addressed by serious print or on-line media.
Why do I have a vision of Chris Farnell standing in front of Paul Elliott on the phone to Jim White holding up signs with what to say like the fella in Love Actually
Going back to PE’s interview - I am bemused as to why there would be a “sealed court order”. Are their* grounds for assuming ownership so super secret-squirrel that they need to be protected from prying fans? Surely if they actually had a judgement from the High Court concerning CAFC Ltd they would have no qualms about citing it. As it is they have a decision over ownership of ESI but nothing more.
Meant to be the possessive their - just clarifying for the Grammar Police...
It must irk Thomas somewhat, having to justify his takeover of the club to one tosser (Elliottt) after another (White). I just wonder what happened to the Thomas of yesterday who was going to deal with it quietly, and directly, just leave these irritations to waffle amongst themselves, and wake up one day with the bailiffs kicking their door in, can't pay we take it away
I mean, this is quite a funny way to deal with it.
Re Eliottttttttt’s 3 minutes of bollocks - Charlton would not have gone bankrupt. They would have gone into administration. Idiot can’t even use the correct words, moron 😡
As been stated many times before. If he has put any monies into the club he should be able to show proof of that. I very much doubt he turned up with 500k in a suitcase and gave it over without a receipt. Total cretins the lot of them he hasn't shown proof because he didnt do it ffs
Some fair points made. At the moment the courts have backed Elliott so it would seem he does have something up his sleeve. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
The courts backed Elliott over the ownership of ESI
Charlton Athletic was constantly disregarded as irrelevant in all the court cases which meant that ESI were free to sell what they had ownership of, they just couldn't sell themselves
This is the thing that confuses me, they kept repeating it wasn't about Charlton...what's changed? Weasels.
Would like to know what the people he borrowed money off and I assume never paid back given he is an ex bankrupt would say about that? Would also be interested to know what those staff of the Private School he and a consortium saved and then closed down would think?
I know little about the man but those items in the public don't really show him to be a man of his word.
TS: losing £1M a month? Not sure I buy that.
Didn't Gallen say our player salary run was £3M per annum... So other costs add up to +£9M pa and what about money dripping in for Grant/Bonne/TV/some small income from ValleyPass/shop etc.
Loved it when Sandgaard what he thought of Farnell !! Jim white shat himself and I’m pretty sure Jordan sniggered in the background. massive swerve. Hope farnell is on there tomorrow

To be fair Sandgaard did have to pay a £1m tax bill so probably has paid an average of £1m a month so far
Elliott just makes me so angry. He could not run the club and would be quite happy if we still had the same squad as that started the season and were now sitting bottom of league one with players sold to keep the club going. Just waiting for his pay off. If anyone deserves to lose everything in life it is him and scum bag Farnell.
It is incredibly strange we haven't heard anything from them about the EFL not passing them. I mean, if the EFL had acted wrongly, it really has buggered them up and you would have thought that is where the legal letters would be heading. Maybe it proves that the EFL didn't act wrongly!
What is the status of their foray into buying Burnley?
Surely/hopefully there is no way it can happen and they don't even have the means?
Apparently within the general Burnley fanbase it is still treated as serious. However several sources say that there is suspicion within the boardroom of it. Two separate sources within the Club have offered to ensure that our dossiers are in their board’s possession - although why it takes two separate CAFC figures to make this happen concerns me a little. Its probably CAFC lack of internal comms, with new people coming in.
i would say though that their continuing interest in Burnley helps us with the national level journos who are taking an interest because obviously that makes it a story of much wider public interest.
Just listened back to yesterdays charlton chat. I am actually quite heartened by TS performances yesterday The key thing for me - after Ellllliottt had been on Jordan was saying "i'll side with the EFL as they have seen the SPA". He then later asked TS if he had seen the Elliott Farnell SPA. TS said he had and Jordan again supported him.
I think the point is that if TS and Freshfields have seen the SPA and went ahead they must be certain the deal is absolutely watertight.
Not wishing to doubt the info regarding TS seeing the SPA, I am a bit confused which is nothing new in all this but, the SPA was between Panorama and LD (elliottt) i believe, so why would Thomas be party to the contents? As I said I have every confidence in Thomas and Freshfields to get all this sorted and send Elliott the necessary piss off and die letter very soon.

As he made no promises that is the only correct statement that he made
