Roland Duchatelet's latest comments have once again enraged Charlton Athletic fans.
The club's Belgian owner slammed the EFL and claimed their 'stupid system' is preventing him from selling the club which he bought in 2014.
Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, the hate figure amongst many Charlton fans accused the EFL of failing owners with its inability to implement a 'decent financial fair play system.'
Duchatelet was thought to have come close to a sale in each of the last two seasons, only for the deals to collapse, most recently the sale to Cardiff City Chairman, Mehmet Dalman in June.
Asked for his advice for anyone thinking of purchasing a football club in England, the owner replied:
"Don't buy it of course."
'I'm stuck'
The business man claims the EFL's restructure of financial fair play rules have made it impossible to make the club an attractive business opportunity.
"I’m stuck because the system is a stupid system and you cannot get out of it," he said.
“When I bought the football club (in 2014) there was a very big improvement on the financial fair play so that football clubs in the Championship could only lose £6million a year.
“While I was then in my first or second year, against the will of a large number of clubs in the Championship, they changed it so you could lose £13million instead.
"This is not an acceptable business model.
“The whole system is bad because in fact they oblige owners like myself and my colleagues in the Championship to lose money and otherwise if we don’t spend money we will be in the last part of the Championship and will be relegated and the fans get angry.
“So the system is a very bad system and it is time to do something about it and I hope those who have been elected to represent the clubs in the EFL are going to do something about it.
"It is not sustainable and it also explains to a large extent why so many owners want to sell their club and why so few people buy a club in England.
"Who would like to buy a club like that? If they now do their analysis of their situation they all decide not to go into this stupid system."
