American businessman Marc Spiegel is interested in a takeover of Charlton, with owner Thomas Sandgaard insisting he is under no obligation to sell the club to a Charlie Methven-led consortium.
A group of investors fronted by former Sunderland director Methven had been close to acquiring 90 per cent of the club for around £8.5million but the deal collapsed on Friday when Sandgaard pulled the plug.
