Richard Cawley of the South London Press reports that a spokesperson for Marc Spiegel says that they look like they may close their deal for Charlton this week. Exclusivity period has expired with Thomas Sandgaard but they also added that negotiations and talks have continued since then.
Cawley warns, ‘Not only does any party buying Charlton need
to pay the sum agreed with Thomas Sandgaard, they also have to show EFL how
they will fund/run the club for the next couple of years. That process has
become more stringent.’
According to Bloomberg, Spiegel is seeking financial backers
for his takeover.
His bidding company — Football Strategies Group — has been
in discussions with Charlton since early February, according to an investor
document. Charlton is owned by Thomas Sandgaard, a Danish entrepreneur.
Football Strategies Group signed a potential £11.6 million
($14.4 million) deal for Charlton. It is also looking to inject £20 million
into the London club, according to the document. It describes loss-making
Charlton as an attractive risk-adjusted investment, though doesn’t say what
size stake is being offered.
“Our ambitions are more than just purchasing a club,”
Spiegel said in a telephone interview with Bloonberg. “We want to elevate the club, expose it
to new audience and win on the pitch.” A spokesperson for Charlton declined to
comment.
