CHAIRMAN Richard Murray has told any parties interested in buying Charlton that the club will not be sold for a knockdown price.
Seven directors pumped £7million into the Addicks earlier this week to help balance the books at the League One high-fliers.
Murray has reiterated the board’s desire to sell - but has dismissed the possibility of a cut-price deal. Murray said: “We are still looking for investment or a takeover but the money put in allows us to do so without two hands tied behind our backs.
“I’ve been involved with this club for 19 years and we’re not just going to sell it to the first guy who flashes his credit card - it’s got to be the right deal.
“It’s a financial strain for all of us - we’ve all put in more money than we originally anticipated - but the key is it buys us time to find the right people. If something happens in November that will be fantastic but it’s" now not the end of the world if it’s February, for example."

November? February?... So maybe something is on the horizon fairly soon?
