I'm really disapointed, I was hoping Rolands idea would be accepted. I bought a second hand car a few years ago, and now the head gaskets gone, the EFL didnt warn me at the time, and I hoped they would buy it off me..... bugger!.
The EFL has to amend their rules, to make the fit and proper running of a club part of it. Not for unhappy fans moaning about a lack of transfer investment but for a serious dereliction of duty or financial irregularities. They could suspend an owner from involvement in football whilst an investigation takes place, they suspended the mad Leeds owner a few years back.
If they did that to RD, including family members, we would be in receivership in no time at all and free of him. Shame the EFL haven't got the balls and concern for the real stakeholders in their competition to implement stronger controls.

The problem is, the EFL *is* the owners. They’ll never vote for anything that makes their lives more difficult.

That is the problem, and therefore the EFL simply cannot reform itself. We need a football regulator who will make that happen, and that requires a political effort. The pathway is there. The current Ombudsman would like to see his role beefed up to Regulator power, and curent DCMS minister, Damien Collins wants to see it too. I'm just worried that the Russians will bump off Damien Collins soon for standing up to them over their fake news propogation.
Want change? Stop moaning about the EFL, write to your MP and tell him/her to support Damien Collins.
There is something they can do now actually. He's criticised the EFL directly, which is breaking their rules and they could charge him with bringing the game into disrepute. In theory, if they wanted to, they could charge him over and over until he retracts the statement, fining him each time he fails to comply. Roly is more than a little stubborn, so it could run and run.
I'm not sure the EFL have the balls to do, but they could make his life difficult if they so chose.
EFL also can't claim they're unaware of the breach as they have had it specifically brought to their attention, we're not relying on them having read any of the dozens of articles published in the last couple of weeks. The misconduct is there for all to see, I don't suppose the EFL sanction can be terribly stringent but for this transgression to go formally unpunished will speak volumes for the EFL's, integrity and that of the individuals concerned. I'll be fascinated to see how Harvey shapes up in this and where he turns up after his imminent departure from EFL. For all his interpersonal finesse, when face to face with Charlton fans and our grievances, we'll soon find out if he has any bollocks or just talks a load of bollocks. He should be going to town on miscreants like douchebag, sisu at al. Remains to be seen if he'll be protecting his own future in some football capacity or protecting clubs and the game itself from the deceitful and deluded.
Not sure they would see getting into a slanging match with a mad man would serve them very well. They will politely decline his offer explaining why they cannot buy a member club due to conflict of interest. In terms of his claim he was misled re FFP, he is not taking any legal action in relation to that so they will not even explain their position is my guess.
I'm not suggesting they get into a slanging match with the deceitful old buffoon, I'm suggesting they are duty bound to punish him for breaking their rules.
Problem is, Prague, whenever I have written to my MP about anything football-related, I get a stock answer of this sort
As a recently-appointed member of Labour's Front Bench, M*** is not allowed to sign Early Day Motions. M*** will always follow up on the outcomes of EDMs he is requested to sign, and will see if there is anything else he can do to support each campaign
To be fair, at the moment I don't think any of them of whatever party can see far beyond their Brexit noses, which is why so many domestic ills are now leaping up & biting them in the bum!!
"As a competition organiser, the EFL regulates against dual interests and, having assessed the suggestion to take control of Charlton Athletic put forward by the club's owner Roland Duchatelet, the EFL Board has concluded that such an arrangement would raise a significant conflict of interest and as such is not one that could be considered....blah blah effing blah...In meantime, the ongoing EFL review continues and is expected to reach a conclusion before the end of the season."
Entirely predictable, cynical abrogation of responsibility by a piss, weak shambles, bringing themselves into disrepute for not calling out douchebag's rampant lunacy for what it is.
I'd have more respect for Harvey and his fellow trough feeders if they'd come straight out and said "tough luck Addicks, you're on your own, we're not giving a fig for any of this til it pays us to do so, jog on losers" which is patently their position.
The gravy train rolls on its biscuit wheels with those smug parasites flicking us V's from the windows.
EFL's own unfitness for purpose ranks equally with the douchebag's and should attract equal vitriol, profanity and opprobrium throughout Saturday's televised fixture. The time for mincing words, pulling punches and playing nicely is long past. Call a spade a spade.
Bunch of 'words the moderators have asked we refrain from using'.
I've been wondering why the petulant man-child Duchatelet suddenly turned on the EFL and made a "demand" that even he must have known was impossible.
I speculate that the EFL have annoyed him somehow and I don't mean with the FFP rules that came in 4 years ago.
I'm guessing that the EFL have done one or both of the following.
They have told him that the staff are entitled to their bonuses and that he should honour them.
The EFL have done what Harvey suggested he could to fans and calculated a valuation of Charlton based on the actual sale prices of other EFL clubs. Obviously, that would be far far below the fantasy figure that the bonkers Belgian has in mind.

The EFL *is* fit for purpose, because its purpose is to represent the interests of the owners, i.e. themselves.
As @PragueAddick so cogently explained, ‘We need a football regulator who will make that happen, and that requires a political effort. The pathway is there. The current Ombudsman would like to see his role beefed up‘......
Another message from Duchatelet in the club website ... this time harking on about how he tried to sign Chris Wilder and congratulating him on promotion
"where he knew he would be welcomed by everyone" - is he trying to say Wilder wouldn't come as he wouldn't have been welcomed by the fans? He is, isn't he. Deluded fool, we were very happy with Wilder - we were not and never will be happy with you! F off and sell the club!
"He came close to joining us in the summer of 2016 when we selected him to be our manager but he decided to go to Sheffield United where he knew he would be welcomed by everybody"
“Look what you could have won you vinegar fishers, it’s all your fault, we could have been in the premier league now if it wasn’t for those meddling kids”
"He came close to joining us in the summer of 2016 when we selected him to be our manager but he decided to go to Sheffield United where he knew he would be welcomed by everybody"
So the club wants me to buy a season ticket with all their positive media campaigns ...
Then basically tells me I’m a prick and part of the reason Wilder didn’t join us

So Roland, the fact that he was born in Sheffield, supported United as a boy, and played for them has nothing to do with it? Nor the fact that you wouldn't confirm in writing to him that he would have total control over transfers? Why don't you crawl back into the pond you came from.

Or rather than wasting time with this type of shite, sort out the more important matters
i.e. Getting Bowyer, Aribo etc. to sign new contracts!!
Remember it’s the person on here’s fault for saying why would wilder want to join this mad house of a club. What a deluded wanker Roland really is. He made the statement as if it would be us in the premier league now if we would have got wilder in. Why can’t the bloke just shut up. He is sick in the head and has serious mental issues.
After Roland fails (again) to offer a contract that is acceptable, the following statement will be released by The Duck Taped one.......... "Lee Bowyer came close to signing an extension to his current contract but he decided to go to Queens Park Rangers where he knew he would be welcomed by everybody"
This fellas people skills are shocking, any decent owner would be singing the praises publicly of Lee Bowyer, assuring the fans not too worry about his contract, as it will get sorted out in the next few days, Roland just keeps shooting him self in the foot, he just can’t help himself.
1. To praise Wilder implying he wishes he was here, then not even mention Bowyer who has worked fucking miracles with Jackson and still ain’t got a contract, is cuntish even by his standards.
2. Although I’m more glad we’ve got Bowyer, the fans would have welcomed Wilder. Where was there ever a suggestion they wouldn’t have?
God, even when things are going great on the pitch, he manages to bring all my anger flooding back.

EFL; it's unlikely we will do that...but how much do you want for it?
Roland; can't tell you that 😉
He really needs to push the point with no holds barred. Give it to them cretins at the EFL Roly big time.
If they did that to RD, including family members, we would be in receivership in no time at all and free of him. Shame the EFL haven't got the balls and concern for the real stakeholders in their competition to implement stronger controls.
