If Nimer cannot provide proof of funds by the summer, then I would hope the EFL would rule he is not fit and proper to own an English football Club. They should then rule that Duchatelet is still the owner of CAFC, with all the responsibilities associated.
If the EFL does not do that, or if Duchatelet refuses to acknowledge his duty of stewardship, the Club will no be able to play in any league.
There will be no money to pay staff or players, and no way the Valley could get a safety certificate.
Grounds will still need to be certified as safe even if all games are going to be played behind closed doors.
So the Club would be closed down.
At least that would deny more entertainmant to Mr Duchatelet (and Millwall & Palace fans) who would enjoy reading about Charlton putting out a team of academy kids and hapless volunteers, who would get thumped by cricket scores every weekend until the end of the season when they would have failed to even register a positive points total.
Still, I have been told it's not about the result. It's all about the match-day experience.
