Charlton fans can't hide emotions after East Street Investment takeover

The much maligned owner has agreed to the sale of the club to East Street Investments pending approval from the English Football League.

Belgian Duchatelet has proven to be a dissliked figure since his arrival at The Valley in January 2014 with fans protesting at his ownership. 

Failiure to attend games, minimal investment, fan criticism, unpaid bonuses, multiple managerial changes, rumoured interference in team selection, and player sales have all contributed to fans voicing their ill-feelings towards Duchatelet. 

Friday morning's announcement caused the club wesite to crash due to heavy traffic by delirious Addicks fans.

Many of which took to social media to share their happyness.  

We will be on such a high, we could pick 11 from the east stand and win on Saturday.

Those Charlton players have no idea what atmosphere they are in for on Saturday!

Feels like a massive weight off the shoulders of the club, the fans and the community.

We are unleashed. It's time to rise again! #CAFC pic.twitter.com/TMYZNdfFCp

Thanks Roland, thanks for teaching me how much I love my club, how no matter what happens il always be an addict, and that protesting, speaking the truth, and ignoring your utter nonsense will always prevail in the end! #cafc #wevegotourclubback
