"Everything is informal": Would-be Charlton owner reveals other clubs for sale

PA Images | "For me it has been very unusual because it [negotiating] normally works much more formal. I have used my lawyers in Europe and it primarily started with me contacting the different owners around the club," Danish businessman Thomas Sandgaard said.

Danish businessman Thomas Sandgaard says he is close to finalising a deal to take over Charlton Athletic in what he describes as an "unusual" process.

He claims Derby County have approached him for a buyout, as have a club from the German 2. Bundesliga.

Sandgaard has been using social and news media to boost his image in order to dissuade rival bidders.
