It appears that Llanera has received some bank funding to continue its projects, but the emphasis is on social housing and infrastructure rather than apartments for British expats:
Llanera
In a short statement in the Charlton programme, Charlton chief executive Peter Varney emphasised that the collapse of Llanera had had no financial impact on Charlton. Presumably a substantial proportion of the season's sponsorship was paid up front. What the longer term implications will be remains to be seen.
In his regular column in the programme Varney called for more transparency in FA decisions, noting that the decision not to set aside Lloyd Sam's suspension was communicated in a one line E mail with no explanation of the decision. In fact Charlton paid £750 for this summary rejection.
Charlton has clashed with the FA on this subject in the past, but I think that Peter Varney is right to take up this matter. Too often football thinks that it is not subject to the same procedural requirements that apply elsewhere in society because matters should be settled in the 'world of football'.
At some point someone should seek a judicial review of these procedures, although one can understand why no one club wants to be the first to do so.

Charlton DID seek a judicial review after the Osei Sankofa sending off last year.
The club have stated that they still are not allowed to reveal what the out come of this was.
D'oh! I had forgotten that, because the outcome could not be revealed. Somehow one needs to open up a discussion of the more general procedures rather than challenging a specific case. But one would need a lawyer to advise on how to do that.
