The Addicks have a record of attracting controversial owners and former Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino could be the next in line according to Leeds sources: Cellino
Should he come we can expect to see a managerial merry go round as he got through six managers at Leeds, earning a reputation as a 'manager eater'.
Cellino was arrested in February 2013 with the mayor of Quartu Sant'Elena, Mauro Contini, and the public works commissioner Stefano Lilliu, for attempted embezzlement and fraudulent misrepresentation following an investigation into the construction of the Stadio Is Arenas. Cellino was held in custody for over two weeks, in a case which remains unresolved.
Cellino's arrest warrant called him a man of "marked criminal tendencies ... capable of using every kind of deception to achieve his ends". Cellino has two prior criminal convictions, for deceiving the Italian Ministry of Agriculture out of £7.5m in 1996 and for false accounting at Cagliari in 2001.
He has been banned by the Football League on two occasions. Fuller details of his career here: Massimo Cellino
The news of their prospective new saviour has not gone down well with Charlton fans, one tweeting, 'Why do we attract such frauds?'
