I pointed out the owner's plans were shared by Bowyer. He said they were for us to become a stable Championship club first and then push on from there. That is no lofty megabucks plan that some on here have been pushing.
I was told that was a "smokescreen" and not a fact. Probably to hide the fact they have serious, serious cash and are going to splash it to get us back to the premier league next year.
I'm not going to say I told you so.
Actually, I am. I TOLD YOU SO.
I'm glad this has happened, some people need a bloody reality check.
Here we go. Perhaps one of the conditions of purchase was that some work was completed within 6 months.
Or it could be a wise move, didn’t Roland piss off the rugby club and they began legal proceedings? Perhaps waiting for Roland to sort that mess out before purchasing? Clean title isn’t just about loans it could also mean they don’t want to fix rolands mess
So they have just bought Baton then. This could get messy.
No. Baton own both CA Football and Holdings companies. The Holding co own the Valley and Training ground. More likely just a delay so they can concentrate on footballing priorities and then complete in the summer at agreed price.
Guessing time Maybe if we stay up they then pay £5m for it And if we’re relegated they pay £1m for it a bit like when Roland took over I think he was gonna pay £4m less if we got relegated I think to the spivs

But this means that the legal entity that ties the property and the football club has been split up.

How is that even possible without the trust being notified under the terms of the ACV?
Someone on twatter ask Crawley for some clarification or more meat to the bones the nosey fuckers that are Charlton fans in the words of Marvin Gaye want to know what’s going on , what’s going on

Just a silly thought, I wonder if Roland is asking to much for a bit of land that can only be used as a training ground or similar, and has no chance of generating money by converting into houses etc. Wonder if new owners might be considering purchasing a new training ground and developing this, thus leaving Roland with a nice piece of useless real estate. No surely to much to ask for.
My guess Roland has to sort the legal dispute out with the rugby club, which seems the obvious answer.

If the training ground was slit off, the owner of the Valley would still be the holdings company. So nothing changed to notify?

Surely you'd just insist on taking the price of the work off what you pay, rather than leave RD owning part of the club still.
I'm very much against RD owning any stake in our club, it would appear, if the article is correct, that he still does.
That's why ESI need to be clear in their communications to the fans. If they are happy for something as fundamental as this is communicated via the local press then i think it should be on the OS as an official announcement.
Let's not forget they are still in the 'building trust' stage of their relationship with the fans (whichever they have been very good at so far).

Or the legal dispute needs clearing up Or they needed to own the club in time for the transfer window Or they don't see the need to whack out £Xm now when they can in 6 months' time
What’s clear is that there needs to be a press conference so they can tell the fans what their plans are and to answer questions . It seems odd that there hasn’t been one already .
Selling taylor and nor owning the training ground is an inglorious start indeed on the face of it and no amount of PR changes that.
Taylor WANTS to leave. Take £3-5m or lose him for nothing?
That LITERALLY makes no sense. You have on your hands a sulking player not wanting to be there.
Who’s gonna pay £3-£5m now when they can pay him a signing on fee of half that in 6 months, maybe someone desperate will (that should be us ! )
Is this the same sulking player who when his big money move to Brentford in the summer didn’t go through played out of his boots for us before and after injury .
Big questions to answer. Are we more likely to get more points for the remainder of the season with Taylor up front or someone else? How much extra will that someone else cost? Will Jan prices be too premium for value? Is there still a willing £xm buyer for Taylor?
We took Taylor on and benefited from having previously run down his contract. We shouldn’t really be over surprised and up in arms when it’s later repeated.

or just a cash flow problem 🤷♂️
Roland still involved fffs
keep the Roland Out button !!

So they've paid 50m+ (or whatever the price was) and don't actually own everything?

Wait and see.
