doombear Too far from Selhurst Park 18 Jul 20 3.30pm
An injury time goal gave Charlton a massive point today, BUT their final game is at Elland Road and I don't expect Leeds will want to be generous. The Hull v Luton game could see one of them draw level and if Wigan are successful in their appeal (or win their final home again against Fulham) the Clowns might just drop down (again).

Should just about scrape it, the Championship is going to the wire top and bottom, though. And the action flows so much better than the PL with VAR.

Owners History
- Belgian has money didn't want to spend it and sells out to rich Arab and his English mate. Charlton fans ecstatic they now have a billionaire owner. The more cynical fans smell a rat.

- 2 blokes now own the club but not the assets e.g. the ground. Why not? one of them is ultra rich? Or maybe he isn't, it now looks like neither of them have any money and and are economical with the truth. The EFL meanwhile imposes a transfer embargo whilst they investigate.

- 2 blokes fall out and try and oust each other from the holding company. Claim and counter claim of lavish spending all from the club funds.

- One of them sells the holding company to a third party who is a white night this new guy will save Charlton. The ousted bloke plus directors take it all to court crying foul play.

- Third party now claims to own the holding company and he will rescue Charlton. The high court judge has just ruled that he has not bought the holding company so far and is economical with the truth and is probably a front for the bloke who allegedly sold it to him. There are doubts as to how much money the new owner has.

- The court case continues but so far it looks like flies fighting over a turd. None of these guys appear to have the best interests of the club at heart and appear to be using the club's own money to fight legal battles against each other.

- Fans now believe that administration is just around the corner unless a real white night emerges.

- Relegation a real possibility but they maybe saved by Wigan being deducted 12 points.

This all sounds like a re-run of the woes of Portsmouth where one dodgy owner cleared out the safe then flogged it on to someone else who did the same thing, rinse and repeat. Before we start celebrate this could be us let's pray that the Americans sell to decent owners.
