Judge says preserving the status quo can itself be a risk. In this case could put off potential buyer while Lex Dominus cannot proceed. Refuses injunction!

The idea that final matches can be played on Wednesday and the
@EFL
can then consider an appeal for Wigan days later that could change who gets relegated is beyond ridiculous - even by the league’s low standards.

I think that’s enough court reporting for today. Well done to Lauren Kreamer. By the time Lex Dominus get near a trial this will hopefully be over as far as
#cafc
is concerned.

Believe that’s the first time

One of those afternoons when all the difficult times become worthwhile. That was a great performance by
#cafc
and there is no decision to make over appointing JJ. There simply isn’t anyone available who is going to do better than that.

Finally! It took fans seven years and 2.5 months to get back to The Valley and almost six years to get rid of Roland Duchatelet. The former turned into a great opportunity for
#cafc
and hopefully the latter will too. But that was definitely my last Charlton campaign, regardless!

Here we go again. Court of Appeal to hear the Lex Dominus appeal in one or two weeks’ time. Never mind the

Apparently, someone named Paul Elliott put out a statement. I checked if it was our ex-player but it wasn’t. So nothing to do with

Nimer, Mihail and Florica - the three

Understand Roddy, Gallen, Sandgaard and his wife were at The Valley into the small hours last night. Adkins wasn’t invited to join the discussion. Hopefully they reached the obvious conclusion.

RIP Jean Tindell, veteran

away coach steward and a travelling Addick since the 1950s, who has sadly died aged 89. Here she is on one of her last visits to The Valley. We’ll pay a fuller tribute to her in VOTV170 next month, but she was a real star.

Dear
@cafcofficial

RIP TOM MORRIS: news today of Tom's death is a terrible end to a rotten year. He was both a good friend and a great photographer. Tom leaves us a rich legacy of

The very widely circulated idea that this hearing doesn't matter because

Our matches at Fratton Park are light years ahead of the average in this division in terms of atmosphere, performance and excitement. Big credit to the

players for a hard-won point and a nod to Pompey as a proper football club in an atmospheric stadium with big support.

I’m struggling for a silver lining tonight, but I’ll give you one small positive. As a result of

I’ve announced today in new VOTV175 that the next issue, in September, will be the last. This has been a very difficult decision to make after so many years, but it’s time for me to do some other things - including, it’s intended, new one-off
#cafc
publications.

Chris Farnell may have overplayed his hand with Dave Jones. Looks as if his first role was to sell players, e.g. Dillon Phillips. ESI2 want him in, he’s due to start this week, but there is now pushback from within

.

I don’t think Nigel Adkins can continue as manager given the results AND performances, but TS may also need to consider if the whole football set-up he has in place is flawed. I’m not sure a change of manager will be enough.

In the strange world that is

Matt Southall’s
#cafc
flat in numbers - £300k commitment for club over the two year lease; £400 a night; equals wages of five staff costing £30k a year; at least £1 in every £15 received in season ticket revenue; about ten times a basic rent in SE London.

Chris Farnell claims that
@CliveEfford
wasn’t talking about him when he referred to “dubious characters undermining the future of the club” - so how about Chris meets the two local MPs to explain his
#cafc
plans? His mate Elliott could set out his “vision”.

For everyone who finds the

Judge paid tribute to Lauren Kreamer's efforts in his judgement - I think he was acknowledging that she did the best she could against an experienced QC with very inadequate evidence from Marian Mihail and Panorama Magic. No reflection on her.

Sandgaard flies back to the States, then sacks the

manager long distance. Think we’ve been there before. In this case there is some reason to think the news was shared with fans before Garner himself.

As usual, RD has no one but himself to blame for the mess created. He had multiple legitimate buyers for

Remains my view that the Barclay/Varney approach was the best one for
#cafc
, but
@andrewdbarclay
has behaved professionally and therefore deserves respect. There are various people in/around the club who set out to poison his chances.
16

Have confirmed that
@_PeterVarney
has met Thomas Sandgaard in the last month or so, which was as a favour to someone at Joma,
#cafc
’s former kit supplier, although for a more general chat about English football. He is not representing him, however.
8

166
Sandgaard’s failure to back the manager sufficiently in the transfer window means he and not Garner will be seen as culpable if
#cafc
fall short. He might want to hold off on the next appearance in front of away fans.
19
11
167
And thanks to Lee Bowyer and the
#cafc
players (who finished the season) and still came so close to surviving despite the odds stacked against them by the absolutely worthless and contemptible individuals who have infested our club since 2011.

possibly better off at this stage signing loan players with solid L1 background than talented youngsters who may or may not contribute. Elliot Lee looks a decent punt in that respect and we certainly need someone like him urgently. Next, please.

I’m fully behind

buying the club but that doesn’t mean it can or will happen in the near future, which is a big blow for

and Lee Bowyer in particular.

There is more than one takeover in motion for

Duchatelet could have had £30m-plus from any number of solid individuals who wanted to purchase

, but instead he decided to tie himself with these people, encouraged by Richard Murray. It beggars belief that he is that stupid.
3
28
160
Only point in this is to tell him he’s not welcome at
#cafc
and to clear off now. Whatever else is true, and I’m reserving judgement on Nimer, he is spending three players’ wages of the club’s money on his own flat, which is indefensible in our situation.

THREE former

Really enjoyable
#cafc
win this afternoon. We looked like a team and as if we had a plan, which hasn’t always been the case lately. Agree with Oshilaja as MOTM, but Pearce played his part after recent mistakes. Great from Aneke, Stockley & Millar.

Hey
@reluctantnicko
- rather than taking dictation from Farnell, why don’t you ask him what his pal Dave Jones was up to at

Delighted to have had the chance to catch up with

EFL having said that Farnell must be removed from any position with
#cafc
that qualifies him as a “relevant person” raises questions of whether that includes acting as legal adviser for the club. Not sure if their jurisdiction extends that far.

It may backfire because Chuks Aneke is always going to be a fitness risk, but I am absolutely behind bringjng him back to

Confident that Sandgaard is a clean pair of hands in this - had never approached ESI and doesn’t have connections to any of the villains, but he’s had no official access to
