Roland Duchatelet is hugely unpopular at the Valley

Lieven De Turck has been overseeing takeover talks for Duchatelet with several interested parties for over a year but has been unable to agree a sale.In response toDuchatelet’s request, an EFL statement said: “As a competition organiser, the EFL regulates against dual interests and, having assessed the suggestion to take control of Charlton Athletic put forward by the club’s owner Roland Duchatalet, the EFL Board has concluded that such an arrangement would raise a significant conflict of interest and as such is not one that could be considered.“The EFL will be speaking to Mr Duchatalet with regard to the ownership of Charlton Athletic and will continue to offer any support it can in assisting with his aim of finding a suitable new owner for the club.“In the meantime, the ongoing EFL review continues and is expected to reach a conclusion before the end of the season. Supporters have been protesting against Duchatelet for most of his five-year spell in charge at the Valley – and are desperate for him to sell up.He gave a rare interview to talkSPORT last month after properties belonging to him in Belgium were vandalised with messages telling him to leave Charlton.Speaking to Jim White, Duchatelet bizarrely claimed the EFL “shouldnt sell clubs to foreign owners” and conceded it had been a “major mistake” to buy the club.He said: “For my life its been a major mistake to do that (buy Charlton). Its annoying. Its not nice.I think its totally wrong that foreign people get involved with football.”
