Charlton fanzine editor Rick Everitt reckons that Charlton are in the last chance saloon.   There is the chance of a takeover in the January transfer window that could transform the fortunes of the relegation threatened club.

In the latest issue of Voice of the Valley, Everitt revealed an exchange of e mails between former Charlton chief executive Peter Varney and the current incumbent Katrien Miere.   Varney was trying to set up a meeting to discuss an investment proposal, but effectively got the brush off.

In the latest issue of Voice of the Valley, Everitt revealed an exchange of e mails between former Charlton chief executive Peter Varney and the current incumbent Katrien Miere.   Varney was trying to set up a meeting to discuss an investment proposal, but effectively got the brush off.

Varney is currently chief executive at Kuwaiti backed Ebbsfleet United, but it is not clear whether the Kuwaitis were involved or whether the proposal was for a minority investment as has happened recently at Crystal Palace or a full takeover.    In any case, current owner Roland Duchatelet has never said that the club is for sale or that he requires outside investment.

Everitt fears that if the club is relegated to League One it will never recover.
