# Charlton: Fans speculate over takeover news following Marian Mihail Q&A

**Charlton Athletic are currently in a grey area as a potential takeover continues to spark questions from fans.**

Current owners East Street Investments (ESI) could be about to lose control of the club as takeover rumours swirl. [A recent statement](https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5ec7ede3b290f/a-note-from-clubs-board-of-directors) posted by Charlton revealed that the board had been made aware of a ‘change of ownership’.

ESI bought the club in January from Roland Duchatelet but a turbulent relationship could now see Tahnoon Nimer and co usurped from their position at the hilt. Interest from former Swansea chairman [Huw Jenkins](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52810887) and a [Portuguese business consortium](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/portuguese-consortium-hopeful-of-completing-charlton-takeover-a4458651.html) are among the parties taken into consideration for sale.

Charlton director [Marian Mihail has answered questions](https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5eda157c04654/director-marian-mihail-answers-questions-from-supporters-05062020) from fans and has stated that, despite the interest shown in the purchase of the club, the identity of the buyer has not been revealed.

A lot of Addicks fans are becoming impatient with the up-and-down news, with many taking to Twitter to express their frustration. One supporter has responded to the Q&A post saying it’s ‘absolutely pointless’ as talks remain vague.

Another fan has said ‘all roads point to Jenkins’, who recently said he wanted a chance to prove he can ‘prosper’ again in charge of a club (via [Wales Online](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/huw-jenkins-interview-swansea-city-18314954)).
