There has been another twist in the public dispute amongst the Charlton Athletic hierarchy, with majority shareholder Tahnoon Nimer sharing details about the living arrangements of executive Chairman, Matt Southall.

The latest stage of the saga has continued, with Nimer sharing via Instagram that Southall has been renting a luxury London property under the club's name, with a reported value of over £12,000 per month.

Nimer went on to say: "If you want to ask Matt Southall how many players at Charlton make more than 3k/week, here's where you can find him and ask him."

It follows on from Nimer's alleged accusations on Instagram to a supporter that Southall had been using money that had been put into the club to fund his personal lifestyle.

That claim followed on from the Syrian businessman stating that he had pulled out of funding the club, which saw things descend into turmoil.

Southall responded through a statement on the club's official website late on Monday night, which rejected Nimer's allegations as "malicious falsehoods", also claiming that the majority shareholder had not put "a single penny of the promised funds" into the club.

He added that he was seriously considering suing Nimer for defamation.

Then, the club released further communication on Tuesday, which stated that Nimer had resigned from his role on the board of directors.

Nimer then released a statement on Instagram saying that he was staying in his role, also adding that he had told lawyers to "take the necessary measures" to remove Southall from his position.

However, the EFL confirmed that they continue to await proof of funds from ESI, and that Charlton were under a registration embargo as a result.

With a crucial six-pointer on Saturday against Hull City on the horizon, it remains to be seen how the current situation can get resolved, plunging the future of the club into serious doubt.

The Verdict

The saga has taken another ugly turn, with Nimer once again publicly stating details about Matt Southall, which will no doubt make the situation escalate further.

At this stage, there does not seem to be grounds for a compromise, and it not what the squad needs going into a crucial end of season run-in.

With proof of funds still not shown to the EFL, it remains to be seen what further action the governing body will take against the club in due course.
