Football’s disaster specialists: Charlton owner was surrounded by people linked to failing clubs

With Charlton Athletic seemingly on the verge of yet another change of ownership, a few eyebrows might be raised looking at the persons involved when East Street Investments took over six months ago.

A number of the persons involved in the takeover were also connected to other clubs who found themselves with big problems.

The emergence of at least one of the people involved was a “huge red flag” according to a Charlton observer who has been monitoring developments for many years.
