    That's terrible, I genuinely feel sorry for you and your fellow supporters. How on Earth that parasite managed to pass the fit and proper scrutiny is beyond me!

    Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Shocking mate feel for you. Every time I’ve had the good fortune to have a pint or two with you’re lot you’re fans have been great. Often find the more ****e a fan base has to endure the better crack they are an the less entitled and You’re fans have certainly seen through some ****e last few years people like Methvin are just parasites hopefully you’re rid of him before he takes you to the brink

    That won't matter, mate, a lot of our youths were sold under Methven and Donald just to raise cash, most for a lot less than we would have expected. Bali Mumba was sold for just over £300k when most would have expected £500k to start with. It'll really be sales to bring in cash and not necessarily to the maximum value.

    I really feel sorry for you.

    He won't stop at just selling the academy talent, he'll sell the academy and wind it down. Do you own the stadium? Watch out for that going the journey as well.

    I despise Charlie. Always have and always will. Total rat, one to just take what's left and make money through any means.

    Scum .

    They’re in really poor form but I think they’ll be okay. Won’t go down.

    Alfie May and loads of academy kids. That’s about it. We are in real trouble.

    We pay a reported half a million each year to use The Valley and our training ground, which are now owned by a previous owner of the club, who kept those assets to himself when he sold the rest of the club for £1 to a bunch of crooks.

    And what did the EFL do ? I think you know the answer to that.

    Very grim reading that mate.

    The EFL are absolutely useless as well

    No club should ever be allowed to sell their ground or training ground ...

    ... there are three reasons to do it, all corrupt.

    Absolutely. And The Valley and our training ground sit within the Royal London borough of Greenwich, where house prices are astronomical.

    Mmmmm, I wonder what the land could be used for if the club goes under :emoticon-0138-think

    It's going how we all thought it would....or knew it would.
    No club deserves these lot.
    Okay....maybe Everton.

    You did warn us, but unfortunately Methven managed to get in the ear (and pocket) of a Charlton forum influencer and those of us who voiced concern at the lies were ignored.

    Thanks for trying, but unfortunately everything you told us, plus a lot worse, is coming to bear on our historic old club.
