Charlton intrigue

Back in January Digger mused about the intriguing talk among Charlton Athletic fans that the wealthy property developer Kevin Cash was behind the recent takeover. That buyout led to the instalment of Michael Slater as shareholder-chairman of the club, whose ultimate parent company is held in the British Virgin Islands, where shareholdings are never disclosed. Now more evidence emerges of Slater's links to Cash. A former employee at a property belonging to the Cash family is heading to an employment tribunal in Reading today, where Slater will be appearing. Digger understands that Slater denies he acts on behalf of Cash, rather he says he is acting on behalf of a management company with which the wealthy 47-year-old has close connections.

    Has Jiminez made or had a interview about why he's invested in Charlton yet? Poor show really imo, the O/S could have a little interview with him.

    I agree, without the guys who are at the helm now, we'd be in even more shite than we are!

    I recall Slater at one point saying that Jimenez won't talk to the media and that Slater would be the public face of the takeover....

    Pity the Guardian don't spend as much time and space reporting about us on the football field as they do muck raking about our owners/possible owners. (not that there is a great deal to report on that front admittedly!).

    I have no evidence, but looking at all the various reports since the takeover, and information that we have a "seriously wealthy" backer, I'd be willing to bet that Cash is indeed the money-man behind Michael Slater.

    That doesn't excuse "boorish" behaviour, although there are often two sides to wrongful dismissal cases.

    I like what I've seen of Slater so far, so I hope this case gets settled to everyone's satisfaction so that that Cash can resume his low profile and Slater can focus on Charlton.

    I forgot we're Charlton and therefore must be grateful we still have a club and that the debt is taken care of...God forbid those of us who ask for anything more....

    I can see his point of view though. I sacked the wife last night when she served up dinner 10 minutes late :-)

    Your (now ex) wife has asked me to represent her at the employment tribunal and I will be using this post as evidence of your callous treatment of her.

    No, a person who has some links to Slater and who is rich maybe a tosser if you believe the Daily Mail

    There is no evidence to say he is one of the owners whatsoever just a lot of conjecture and guessing.

    I'd be pretty pee'd off if somebody I trusted nicked a lap top and a car I owned but didn't know I owned it.

    There's a lot of conclusions being jumped to on this thread.

    We don't know if Cash is involved with CAFC and we don't know the truth of the incident reported in the Daily Mail.

    So people should calm down a bit before they start slaggin either him or Slater off - we simply don't know the facts of the matter. If every claim made in a court was automatically assumed to be true, then our prisons would be empty for a start.
