It’s 1st March. So Charlie Methven is free to answer these questions.
01st March 2023
Last Saturday a fan sent the Dossier details of a LinkedIn dialogue between him and Charlie Methven. The exchange was cordial and Mr Methven did not ask for it to be kept P&C. The fan asked why Methven did not provide evidence to the media to prove that the ‘period of exclusivity” for negotiating his group’s deal to buy the club from Thomas Sandgaard expired on 28 February
- if you could show the public at large evidence of this very basic element, a lot of confusion and suspicion would be eliminated, I’d have thought…
Charlie Methven 1:52 PM
yup, totally clear it’s til the end of Feb.
- And at the end of Feb, we can make that clear. Sandgaard has gone and signed exclusivity with somebody else whilst in exclusivity with us!
So here we are. In case any journalist reads this before contacting Charlie, these are the questions we’d love you to put to him:
1. Please provide documentary evidence that the end date of the “period of exclusivity“ is indeed 28.February, 2023.
2. Please outline the main arguments you have received from Thomas Sandgaard whereby he disputes this date.
3. Please confirm exactly what you now demand from Sandgaard in settlement of the dispute.
4. Please confirm whether your bid has fully cleared all aspects of the EFL Owners and Directors Test.
5. Please clarify whether and how messrs Rodwell, Scott and Warrick had EFL clearance to carry out their respective “senior management roles” during January 2023.
6. Please tell us about Global Football Partners Ltd. What is your share in this company, what funds does it have to invest in Charlton or any other club and why is it registered in the Cayman Islands?
