Taking a step back from the justifiable outrage, has it been discussed elsewhere that this is an intentional ploy from KM/RD? Presumably they have a reasonable degree of intelligence and foresight (based on their non-footballing CVs). To me, it's inconceivable that they could send "that latter" to someone who they acknowledge is outspoken on social media and not expect it to end up on social media.
Which leads to the conclusion that to create this [another] negative PR frenzy was actually the intention of the letter. Can't think what the intention of that would be, mind, unless it truly is to 'cleanse' the club of passionate supporters and have us replaced by these fictional people who want to spend Saturday afternoon's watching terrible football played by a club they don't support but can provide a 'great' family day out. And of course to encourage such vitriol that they can try [and fail] to paint that picture all of us as extremists. But it's just so misguided in doesn't make sense... What are they trying to do!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere within other threads..

The poor performances, declining attendances, and empty Valley will give them an excuse to sell the ground.
Minimum.
I have assumed that the sale of our land assets would not cover the investment he has put in the club, but is this a correct assumption?
What is very curious is why the letter is so vague and lacking in detail, particularly when compared to the statement issued by the club earlier this afternoon. Not satisfactory on a number of levels.
Although there may be issues with planning permission and the AVC on the ground currently he might be calculating that having this amount of land near London will eventually bring him a return when he wangles his twisted way round the rules to get his way to make himself some more money.
People have stated that he will not get anywhere near the money he has invested by proceeding down this route, but unless his plan is to run Charlton as a League One club, what is he doing? His current strategy for promotion looks a little flawed.
Whatever the man is up to, I doubt very much it will benefit Charlton Athletic FOOTBALL club.
Is there anyone qualified on here to give a good assessment of how and if RD could get his money back and more by future development on the land where the Valley currently resides?
Apologies if this has been clarified before, but the business strategy seems so bizarre at this club, and the attitude to its "customers" so negative, it prompts such speculation.
I know it's not a nice subject, (someone's death), but he did come up with a DoD calculation himself.
It wouldn't worry me if he was a little optimistic with his sums.
Who would be thinking up such a scheme? Roland couldn't give a shit, Tony can barely get a coherent sentence out so that leaves our favourite dullard sixth former CEO to come up with this stuff on her own.
Nope.
