If I was running the club, I wouldn't bother with U11, U12 or U13 football in terms of the academy. I would affiliate with and support a number of local grass roots teams and develop the younger players through them. It might even be a good idea to form a Charlton league. That might involve subsidising players whose families don't have the money etc... But also ensuring the coaching these clubs provide is top notch.2

The best players would go elsewhere tho7

Our current best youngster was with Chelsea at that age. It is all about trawling at that age for most clubs and the standard of coaching is not that high in many cases anyway.0

hmm, you've never been involved in kids' academy football by the sounds...7

Well my son was with the Tottenham academy as well as the herts football development centre which was run by Norwich City and then Crystal Palace with access to top coaches and I have managed at grass roots level. I don't pretend to know it all, but I have enough experience to take a view. Right or wrong.
I think there are a small number of 10 to 13 year olds the club will want to manage and have on their books, but this could be done within alternative structures. And the really good ones can of course play or be coached at higher age levels.3 -

"I believe the total rent liability adds up to £7.578 million over 15 years paid in different instalments. So roughly just over half a million £ a year."
The lease has no value to a 3rd party like, say, me / my bank as a lender
Only long leases have a value to lend against, ideally greater than 125 years - mortgage providers generally will not provide a mortgage on a leasehold property, normally a flat, if it’s less than 70 years
So, he can’t borrow against The Valley - RD could, as a 12 year lease, with I assume no break clauses, has a value to me as a lender if the freehold of The Valley was charged as security
That said, as a tenant covenant (i.e. the financial strength of the tenant) I wouldn’t lend, as CAFC is a poor covenant (loss making, reliant on its owner to survive etc etc)
In other words, if I lent, then CAFC goes bust, there is no longer any rent to cover the loan payments
I would also have a massive Loan to Value problem - when you get a bank valuation, you get 3 values - Market Value, which is value based upon the property with the benefit of the lease - Vacant Possession Value, which is the value of the property if there was no lease i.e. no tenant / no income, and Reinstatement Value, which is cost to rebuild if the place burned down for example
There will be a huge difference between Market Value and Vacant Possession Value, as what alternative use does The Valley have ?? It’s pretty limited isn’t it
Also cost to rebuild will be mind bogglingly expensive0 -

That’s my view - but I am not a valuer- I think a member of CL is a RICS valuer - can’t recall who it is0 -

Negotiation would be (and I have no idea whatsoever if anything at all has happened) very difficult. I also heard that the interested party is credible and not chancers.
I absolutely have no idea who it could be.0 -
Surely there is room for a negotiation with RD along the lines of the Valley/SP is worth x in it's current usage but with outline planning would be worth y. Buy it for x and then if things change and planning can be granted agree a deal where RD receives a percentage of the difference in the values0

No, I think he quite likes his 500k a year income from his property, and he probably feels that Sparrows Lane is an increasing asset at a time when people are talking about reducing regulations on land development.
I can't see why he'd be looking for anything less than the £35m he turned down in 2019 unfortunately.0 -
A friend of mine knows the secretary at Phoenix Sports. Apparently we contacted them after the recent U21 cup match and requested our share of the gate receipts.....unbelievable.Maybe the £195 it amounted to paid for the giant extension cord.10

Emma Parker has been at the club for 5 years. Charlton fan too4 - Sponsored links:

Not able to do her job I’m told, ie pay bills 🤷♂️😪2
-
Ok this is getting silly now. If she has gone because as FD she cannot pay the bills that can only mean TS has decided not to put any more funding in. I'm not saying he should after £20 odd million maybe he has reached his threshold. However if thatd the case he needs to sell urgently and stop fucking about11

Seemingly no room for doubt now....
Those believing he's serious about our club will need to have a rethink.9 -

If we are struggling to pay bills and if TS put aside a specific amount of money for his project and has now run that pot dry then what absolute folly spending all that money on the temporary buildings on Sparrows Lane really was this summer.0

Finance Directors only quit for -
A) a much better, happier job; orthey are the first to work out it's all going tits up
Either way TS has some serious issues now3 -
FD of a league one club is a poor job for a decent accountant with a bit of ambition. £7m turnover (or whatever it is) is peanuts in the scheme of things, and if Emma is any good she will command a better salary almost anywhere else. It could just be down to wanting more money and/or better prospects.3
