It is being claimed that David Sullivan is now interested in buying Charlton Athletic rather than West Ham after his departure from Birmingham. He thinks the Charlton board may be open to an offer after they had to dig into their own pockets recently to keep the club going. The appeal is that Charlton are similar to where Birmingham are when Sullivan stepped in. It is a potentially bigger club with a huge catchment area that extends well into Kent where the club has a network of ‘Valley Express’ services to bring fans to games.

Sullivan knows that Charlton have come through the financial strain of developing their own ground also have a first rate training ground. It might then simply be a case of stepping in and spending cash on players to get them back to the top flight. Sullivan and his ally David Gold are still interested in West Ham, but their massive debts are a deterrent. Outstanding debts at The Valley are far smaller.
