I read that Charlton has one of the best acadamies around. But it does not translate to success does it, so you can understand managers being wary. Personally I think that's wrong and it is essential for talent to be able to come through. Hopefully we will have 3 or 4 of our academy youngsters actually making it next season.

It depends what you call '' success ''. If it's producing players, developing them and then selling them on for significant fees or them achieving results on the field. Given Charlton's plight I would say that neither are working that well for them just now. Old, Ungifted and White

A Danish / American business Thomas Sandgaard says he wants to buy Charlton hopefully he is serious but worryingly he had not talked to the Belgium who owns the ground. he does have money and appears to be a legitimate businessman so should pass the fit and proper tests. The real issue is will he pay £50m for the ground which the current owners are contracted to or can he persuade the Belgium to drop his price. Unfortunately some people like to raise their public profile by saying they will buy a football club I hope he is not one of them. In other news the Clowns are getting all excited ""Greenwich Council getting involved big style they have asked sports minister to get involved because they are not prepared to let Charlton go out of business OR leave the Borough. Hopefully this will mean compulsory purchase and the club gets a secure tenancies."" I can guess what the sports minister will say, NO. If we start using taxpayer money to buy football clubs every crook will follow the Charlton route, rape the club of its money and assets and do a runner because the taxpayer will foot the bill. Never going to happen. One more point
