Does anyone know if Cawley knows who's funding this signing?
Yes. The way it has been told to him is that ESI are driving getting the deals done. Which again suggests that takeover is close to completion.
Not a clue how that would work?
Would it not bring Roland's reign into disrepute, funding players from a 3rd party. Maybe that's the plan to get rid of him?
Be quite easy to say, I’ll spend X and then recoup X by selling Y if necessary.
Yes. But who's providing X?
No reason ESI can’t loan the money to RD, even if it is required up front. There might also be something in the share issue, although for those shares to have been sold to ESI without EFL approval would seem to be a breach of the rules.
They have had "a donation" from someone to fix the place up and repair stuff. (Basically Southall has paid for the road/carpark to be repaired, boilers and pipes fixed, groundsmans tools replaced, etc.
Really puzzling me now. Word from Richard Crawley that incomings are being driven by ESI and that the deal whatever that means is close but not yet done. Matt Southall looks very comfortable in being very high profile re all things Charlton but no deal ratified by EFL. Quite why money spent is being sanctioned and by whom is very odd at this point. If this isn’t done and dusted by the end of next week I will be very nervous.

Loans so no money perhaps - maybe the new mob are calling the shots as such.
i'm only guessing but maybe the funding of signings without actually owning the club - yet - is one of the 'strange' ideas that bowyer was referring to??
To me it’s the same as people peaking under the tree at the presents before Xmas day
@doucher and @DA9@1905@Henry Irving all in the last few days unless I read them wrong have virtually announced its done bar the official announcement
The signing or signings are the presents under the tree already just waiting for Xmas day which now the EFL office is open it could be today or tomorrow

No way new owners would fund transfers if there was any doubt over the EFL confirmation, it really must be happening, just waiting for EFL offices to open.

If it isn’t announced this week then I’ll start worrying. If it is, then I can’t see how it could possibly be worse than the Roland years, or what I experienced of them, whoever buys the club.

That's what I've seen too. Sam Surridge from Bournemouth is another being mentioned.
Both players fit the current Charlton profile.
