Charlton fans couldn’t contain their excitement, and relief, that East Street Investment’s takeover was approved by the EFL on Thursday.
The Addick’s have been waiting for confirmation that ESI’s purchase of the club from now previous owner Roland Duchatelet had gone through since a deal between the two parties was greed at the end of November.
News that the deal was finally approved was announced on the club website at lunchtime today ahead of the side’s trip to Swansea this evening.
With the transfer window now open, and one signing in Andre Green already through door, January may prove to be an exciting month for Charlton and their supporters.
Checks the interweb at lunch, sees #CAFC takeover finally complete
