The Roland years

This is what I will write about next in my 'What went wrong' series, but I should note that front man Charlie Methven has made it clear that the new owners will talk to Roland at some point about the ownership of the stadium and training ground, but (decoded) not any time soon: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/global-football-partners-spokesman-expecting-talks-with-duchatelet-over-valley-and-sparrows-lane-rental-agreement/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=global-football-partners-spokesman-expecting-talks-with-duchatelet-over-valley-and-sparrows-lane-rental-agreement

Methven does seem to be saying the right things and saying them often.   My assessment of him from the Sunderland series was that he was a bit glib, the kind of smooth talking Old Etonian who would convince you that you needed a time share in New Cross in February and threw in a season ticket on the Woolwich Free Ferry to seal the deal.

But perhaps Sunderland was a different story: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlie-methven-global-football-partners-have-no-plans-to-flip-charlton-athletic/
