Caution needed about Charlton sale story

More later on this, but some caution is needed about The Guardian story that the  club is up for sale. Rather, the club is renewing a search for new investors but using a different company to attract them.

Richard Cawley 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 Slater’s 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 GFP 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.

Many fans have gone off the deep end, but you shouldn't treat everything that you read in the papers as gospel.
