The best we can realistically hope for it the EFL saying no way are we or could we buy Charlton so it's a non-starter.
At least RD and LDT will have to find another pathetic excuse/lie
I would like them to request a meeting with RD at EFL HQ in order to discuss.
They should then explain to him the realistic value of the club.
Explain that they cannot buy any EFL club and then charge him with bringing the game in to disrepute.
(Sending him on his way with a swift kick in his nuts).
So would I. But how realistic is it to hope for that given the weaknesses of the EFL and that they have more pressing issues.
I'll kick him in the nuts if they do the rest :-)
"LDT told the fans fourm that threats had been made to "kick Duchatelet in the nuts" on a popular fans forum and this had scared off 7 different buyers, who despite making their money in the cut and thrust world of business were running scared from an internet joke from a middle aged bloke from Bromley"

I just wonder what RD's next step is when he eventually gets the expected formal response rebuffing his "demand". My hope is that this is the tipping point where he finally realises he needs to drop his sale price but I am not betting on it.
They should make him come and explain what is going on and publish when and where so everyone in football are aware that they are taking this seriously.
It would also give us the opportunity to explain in person how we view view things at the moment.
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 Duchatalet, the EFL Board has concluded that that such an arrangement would raise a significant conflict of interest and as such is not one that could be considered.
The EFL will be speaking to Mr Duchatalet with regard to the ownership of Charlton Athletic and will continue to offer any support it can in assisting with his aim of finding a suitable new owner for the Club.
In meantime, the ongoing EFL review continues and is expected to reach a conclusion before the end of the season.
But, as Bolton and Blackpool have found, it only takes a day to change a life. Duchâtelet’s reign at the top of Charlton Athletic is closer to its conclusion then it is to its beginning. If bad ownership is part of the pantomime of modern football, Charlton fans should take solace in the knowledge that pantomimes often offer one ludicrous moment of grandiosity before the villain finally falls.
The EFL won’t be taking control of Charlton Athletic any time soon, but with this one wild demand, Duchâtelet may have played his final and most outlandish card. The only thing left – one would think – is the eventual sale of the Addicks, and a return to the real world for a club left to rot for the past three years.

Ha ha
Looks like not only have they said "get real Roland" but the EFL haven't forgotten that it was Duchatelet that called for the review in the first place.
This isn't Belgium, you irrational rat, you can't call the shots here.

Shame they've given it more time than deserved with releasing that statement!!

Are they going to lend him a gun?
Or is that not the aim they are talking about?
What they really meant-
”having assessed the suggestion, and after we managed to stand up straight after rolling around the office clutching our sides, the EFL board conclude that he was as mad as a March hare and that the suggestion would raise a considerable amount of derision across football.
In the meantime the EFL will be trying to contact his doctor to offer any support it can in assisting them to have him sectioned under the mental health act.
In the meantime the ongoing EFL review will continue until it is legally safe to publish a conclusion.”

Although they still have 24h to meet there own reply target by sending me a personal copy, I'm not holding my breath!
Same here.. they probably looking at it from the fact that they may have received lots of e-mails (including mine), by issuing the statement they don't have to respond to any of ous. It was still worth doing though.

No really
The only person in the world, who thought it might happen was Roland.

But they will “continue” to assist Roland with the sale.

A very good article on the situation below

Guess that is the nearest I'm likely to get to an answer to my email to the EFL http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/3464479/#Comment_3464479
