Charlton boss Karl Robinson wants takeover answers from Roland Duchatelet.

The unpopular Addicks owner spoke publicly about his desire to sell the club in December. Despite agreeing a price with two parties for a takeover last month, nothing has materialised.

And just like the fans, who have been frustrated by the continual delays, Robinson wants the deal completed as soon as possible.

He said: “We gave an update the other day - it’s not as close as we were led to believe. But again, I spoke to everyone on Monday, Tuesday night and will do so again today.

“I’m sort of the shield in some ways. It needs to be resolved. If anyone’s got any questions, they need to speak to the owner at the end of the day. It’s got to come from that level.

“None of us can tell you the truth. Someone’s got to get in contact and ask the question. You need an official line of where the club is at, fans, players and staff deserve it.

“That will be a lot fairer on everyone else if there was an update from the horse’s mouth in some ways. So that would be my tip of the day.”

Charlton director Richard Murray has given fans takeover updates throughout the season. 

He claimed a deal was “a few weeks away” from being done last month - and with the latest delays - the former Addicks chairman has been criticised by supporters. 

On the pitch, Charlton’s poor form hasn't helped either, they have won just five league games since October. 

Robinson added: “Richard is away. Richard is someone who was in charge for many years and loved it. 

“He’s still down as an acting director. It’s not down to Richard to speak to you, it’s not fair on him, he’s done it out of his loyalty to this football club. 

“He’s been criticised because of it because the timescale wasn't what he said. He was only saying what he was told. I keep saying, whoever is going to buy it, it’s a great club. 

“Everything is cleaner now than what it was when I first walked in. We can all walk away and look back and say the club is in a good place to move forward. It’s not now with all the uncertainty, but the players are positive and the fans are just waiting for the news. 

“The fans have been very respectful since I’ve been here. I don't recall them getting involved in a negative way. 

“No player can say any fan has been a negative influence on the pitch. We’ve been our own negative influence on the pitch. We just want it [the takeover] resolved for everyone.”
