Charlton’s US owners have put the club up for sale just three years after taking over at the Valley. The ownership group is understood to have engaged Oakwell Sports Advisory to find what would be the club’s fifth owner in the past six years.

In a sales deck sent to potential investors, which has been seen by the Guardian, Oakwell describes Charlton as “the last remaining football club upside opportunity in London”. Oakwell also claims that Charlton would provide new owners with an opportunity for five to 10 times equity growth through promotion to the Premier League, commercial expansion and investment in women’s football.
