A South African consortium has expressed some interest in buying Charlton, unconfirmed reports suggest. I believe that they may be the same consortium that took a look at Newcastle and decided that it didn't offer good value. More recently, they have held talks with cash strapped Portsmouth, but are believed to consider the £40m price tag and £50m of debts too much.
On the whole, they seem to prefer clubs near rivers or the sea and have also considered Fulham. However, they may take another look at Charlton as offering a good value package.
Considering the club's historic links with South Africa, it would be rather nice to have Springbok owners. But not only have the chickens not hatched, the eggs haven't been laid, so it is only a faint glimmer of hope.
