Charlton fans demand to meet owner over direction of club

Charlton Athletic supporters want to meet Belgian owner Roland Duchatelet and find out his long-term strategy for the Championship club, reports BBC Sport. The Addicks have had four managers since Duchatelet bought the club in January 2014, and are 18th in the table under current boss Guy Luzon.

"The aim is to engage Roland in conversation and find out what is going on," fan Steve Clarke told BBC London.

"He has resisted all attempts by us to have any dialogue."

The Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust (CAS Trust) have called a public meeting in Woolwich on Wednesday in an effort to form a united front.

"Roland rarely visits London or comes to The Valley," added Clarke.

"We are keen to speak to him and also gauge fans' views.

"Some think what is going on is OK but others are very extreme in their views as to things we should be doing to try to change things."
