Paul Elliott statement

We are still awaiting EFL approval of the change in control of the club but once that comes through we will be in a position to outline our plans for the club and sit-down with fans to talk openly about our intentions for Charlton Athletic.

Don't quite follow this. He/they could have "talked openly" about their "intentions for Charlton Athletic" on a conditional basis as soon as they bought the company that owns the football club. I don't think any of us are so stupid that we wouldn't realize that they would need to be approved by the FL before being able to do any of it (whatever "it" is).

One interpretation might be that there plans for the club will only be revealed once it is too late to take action against them. My assumption is that it will involve property deals and relocating (short term or even permanently).

Yes, it is a scam and they are playing for time, dutifully helped by the EFL's rules and tardiness.
Do not under estimate these crooks they are exceptionally good at what they do.
Farnell has been operating for years and years and no one has stopped him.

Radical thought - how about we give PE the benefit of the doubt for now.  It's not as though we are swimming in options right now.

Everyone is slagging him off for not saying anything - it seems there is something going on that he cannot yet speak about.  He gives a few tidbits and everyone is slagging him off.

Right now we need the EFL to sort their shit out - absolutely critical.  And then we need to start looking at next season - the management, the squad etc.  If someone doesn't want to be in League 1 then so be it - goodbye and thanks.  But we don't have time to dwell.

I know several people who have met PE now and nobody had a bad word to say.  I quote "he came in to the office and stopped at everyone's desk, spoke to them and asked how they were and what their role at the club is.  He seems a genuine nice bloke."  In comparison the same person said of Southall "He would march in, ignore everyone and demand a cup of tea".  

I dare say I'll get grief from the usual suspects on here and get labelled an apologist once again (like when I said of Roland "it may be better the devil you know") but so be it.  Sometimes there is so much misinformation spread it distorts peoples views of what is really happening.

I regard the statement as a step in the right direction but now is the time for actions and not just fluffy words

All the best grifters have the likeability factor. That’s not to say he *is* a grifter, but the fact than he can charm people does not prove he’s legit, unfortunately. I wish it did.

    Paul Elliot is not a grifter.
    He owns hundreds of serious commercial 
    Properties all over the Northwest of the UK.
    I would be totally amazed if he is not Legit !

While it is fully understandable that no one trusts anyone at the moment,the fact is we have no  alternatives.So before we slaughter Elliott,let us give it a little bit of time,there will be a turnover in playing staff very soon,see who comes and goes,judge at the outcome.

    Absolutely correct,
    I appreciate and understand why there are so
    Many negative comments after what Roland Rat, 
    And slimy RAT face Southall / ESI have done.
    I think Elliot could well be the real deal, providing 
    The EFL Dickheads can make a sensible decision    

    Between them.

Out of interest, what is it that makes you think Elliot could be the real deal? 

What has he actually done so far, or what is it about his past, that gives you that impression?

    Paul Elliot is a very respectable and educated
    Business man.
    He is not a get rich quick crooked scumbag from
    The seedy part of Blackburn.
    Paul Elliot could Buy/sell and dissolve that 
    Horrible suntanned Twat in 10 minutes.

I believe the embargo allows us to spend as long as it doesn't exceed last years budget /wage which during covid might be an advantage to us. 

then why did Bowyer say he's not in a position to be able to offer contracts to any of the senior players?

Because most players expect an increase in wages when they get a new contract?

Grifter or not, why would a property man from Manchester buy a London football club, have to show proof of funds for circa £20m and also sign up to pay RD £50m in a little over 4 years? 

    He is London born 
    Some of His business interests are in the north
     West.
    If I could afford to put Charlton back on the map
    And back in the premiership one day  I would.
    He certainly could  with his contacts.

    If I am wrong I am certain many on this forum will
    Delight in pointing their fingers and slaughtering    

    Me.

   I honestly think Paul Elliot needs a chance 
   To prove his integrity not just from the Charlton
   Faithful but the inept EFL also.
    

Your poems are rubbish

All he has to do is pass the EFL tests. Why is it taking so long? We have been waiting for somebody from ESI to pass the tests since they took over. If that doesn't strike anybody as dodgy, nothing will. I know the EFL drag their feet but the delay suggests the fault is at our end. Why no public statement urging the EFL to hurry up with it? 

 He may well have failed it already.

It's not up to the EFL to tell us.

You don't think the EFL should alert the fans that the new owners haven't got eniugb money to support the club going forward    ??  The very fans who will be very shortly shelling out hundreds of pounds on new season tickets, new club shirts & other merchandise......that the new owners can just pocket & then run off.

Very weird thinking.

But sadly probably true. They idly sat by silently  and let that prick string many of us along publicly on twitter with the supa dupa transfer phone cringefest in the full knowledge we were under an embargo.

Any altruistic sense of duty to football fans would surely have seen a heads up come from the EFL thereafter.

Incompetent, disinterested and clueless.

They don't give a toss about fans.
