My personal take on Elliott and trying to sift through rumours. He was parachuted in by Farnell in a gross conflict of interest whereby Farnell represented the club, and with several possible purchasers available chose his mate 'who had previously said he fancied owning a club'.
Money wise, rumour has it he put money in - if so it's not clear whose. Equally people sniffing around on CL claim he has a max 400 grand, several tinpot businesses, and no visible means of maintaining a club bigger than (say) Crockenhill.(plus a bankruptcy a few years back, as well as several illegal practices in his flat rental business)
His whole position is suspect. No previous experience. No cash to fund the losses we may face this season alone. Another rumour suggests Sandgaard offered to buy him out for money back plus 10%, which was a ready 'out' but he refused to budge.
Why he would wish to cling on in the face of growing hostility from the fanbase, without the means, is a big question. He's not a fan of Charlton, maybe not of football. But he successfully ripped up a school for personal gain, which maybe an insight into his motives.
In short, not much concrete but the positive side of the ledger is empty, bar his lawyers ability to earn him an injunction.
Sandgaard may well be hiding something nefarious. But his wealth is out there, and as yet, no one has found a shady past, buying businesses and then breaking them up to sell the parts.
And as for our own Sandman, he isn't Pat (or Nigel). I've been chatting with him about other stuff, and his name isn't either. New poster on here guys. (As if Not606 wasn't already overcrowded). As the saying goes, I disagree with everything you say, but I'll fight for your right to be wrong
