Standard reporting that they are in danger of being expelled from the League if they can't demonstrate sufficient funding:

Key paragraph:
"There is scepticism about why Elliott, whose background is in property and hospitality, got involved in Charlton when football was still shut down and clubs feared going out of business. Farnell was Bury’s lawyer when they were expelled from the EFL, eight months after Dale bought the club for £1." |  |

And there were some on here, who even recently said they'd have prepared the chance of Charlton's new owners over Evans |  |

Having the Borough Council own the ground keeps away the chancers who fancy a bit of town centre real estate. I wonder if they will look to sell it, possibly to the club, to try and help their budget? Not sure if the club can afford it, though! |  |

I don't think the council will ever sell it, it's just not worth their while.
I think the club would snap it up if they could, the Supporters Trust registered it as an Asset of Community Value a few years back so wouldn't be able to be done in an underhand way either without being made public | |

How does it work - do we pay rent or a lease? Presumably if so it’s a guaranteed money spinner for them so will never sell to us. |  |

Rent, as per the below.

might be worth checking it still is, ACVs only last 5 years, plus it doesnt really give much protection anyway it offers the community the option to come together to put in a bid to purchase the land if the landowner annouces they are selling.
so if the council were going to sell, are the fans going to chip in and buy the ground ? | | | |
