Crisis at Dulwich Halmet deepens

Dulwich Hamlet are a popular and well-supported non-league club playing in the Bostik Premier League. They have been caught in the middle of a dispute between Southwark Council and Meadow, a property developer. Their property developer landlords have now served notice on them which would lead to immediate eviction (their next two games are away): Eviction

The club issued the following statement: 'Yesterday evening, the club were served notice that our license to play at Champion Hill would be terminated immediately. We are consulting with solicitors on the matter, as we feel they do not have legal grounds to serve such a notice. This comes on top on the £121,000 ‘back rent’ bill we were served last week, as reported by The Daily Mirror.'

'Meadow have not been in touch with the Club directly, and have only communicated through their solicitors. This seems to be their preferred method. We urge Andrew McDaniel and Peter Bennison to try and act with some level of courtesy moving forward, as this tact will get them nowhere.'

'We will release another statement ASAP, and Urge all fans to back the team at the next three away games. Tonight at Billericay Town, Saturday at Brightlingsea Regent; as well as at Brentwood Town on Thursday in the Velocity Trophy.'

The Times has been told Ng Wing Fai and Brooklyn Earick form part of the group, having both been linked previously to potential takeovers of the Premier League club. The Taiwanese businessman, Richard Tsai, is also said to be part of the consortium. He is reportedly worth £7 billion.  Last year Earick, the former DJ and tech entrepreneur, was part of an attempted £4.5 billion takeover, which was “unequivocally rejected” by Spurs.  An ENIC spokesperson said: “We can confirm that neither ENIC nor THFC are aware of any sale by Daniel Levy’s Family Trust of its minority stake in ENIC, THFC’...

Reports about Charlton sale exaggerated

Reports have appeared in The Guardian and elsewhere that Charlton has been put up for sale. Richard Cawley is an authoritative local journalist who runs a South London Sport substack site.  He reached out to the club yesterday evening to ask for comment on The Guardian’s article. Early indications from the club have been that nothing has changed since the story about them seeking investment, except that it is now a different company doing it. Charlton have since managed to consolidate their place in the Championship, avoiding an instant return to League One, with their women’s side promoted to the WSL, returning to the top flight for the first time since 2007, although staying there is likely to be costly. It would be counter-intuitive for owners Global Football Partners not to progress the club when looking for investment, that the focus remains on driving it forward, that their spend this summer is in line with long-term planning and will see an increase in wages spent on players...

Hull City's 'strange' loan

When football finance guru Kieran Maguire seems flashing lights in a club's loan deal, I become concerned.  He is the leading football finance expert in the UK. Hull City have borrowed £55m against their stadium and training ground yet they should get £30m from the Premier League before long.  What is going on? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpwel48y51do
