Quoted by Charlton's official website, Marian Mihail has fielded several questions from the Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust in a bid to assure fans that the Addicks' best interests are at heart when it comes to those running the club.

Mihail is on board at The Valley after a tumultuous few months in SE7, even by their recent standards.

One question he was asked, too, concerned the financial stability of the club for the near-term future and into the rest of 2020 - especially given the current ongoing situation around the world.

Marian, though, has sought to allay fears and has suggested fresh investment into the club could be on the way as early as the latter stages of this month.

He said:

"The Board’s immediate focus is getting the club through these unprecedented times.

"At this stage, we don’t know when and in what form football will return and our priority is making sure Charlton is in a stable position, whenever that is.

"As we mentioned in our previous statement, this will require investment from the ownership and the first instalment of that investment will come into the club towards the end of this month."

The Verdict

It's positive enough news for Charlton fans but, as ever, these are just words and until considerable action is shown to back them up, Addicks fans will not be counting their chickens.

The time for talking has stopped, those in charge of the club appear to have won the boardroom battle and now they need to show why they are the right men in charge of the Championship side.

Investment at the end of this month, though, could at least be a start.
