Charlton Athletic executive chairman Tahnoon Nimer has looked to reassure fans by confirming that money will be available.

The now departed executive chairman Matt Southall claimed Nimer had refused to invest in the club in an attempt to force the Syrian businessman out.

However, Nimer now appears to have taken control of the club again and dismissed a number of directors last week.

Looking to address the uncertainty surrounding the club, Nimer looked to reassure fans that he would continue to fund the club and support it.

"I will never let them down," he told Sky Sports.

"We are ready to inject the money [since] day one [that] we arrived. If there is anything short-cut in the club we are going to support it. We will start on the pitch, we are going to start to maintain the club immediately, change the lighting, refurbish it. This is one of our plans we are going to do."

Nimer then gave an update on Southall, with whom he has been in dispute over the past few weeks.

"Matt Southall is no longer the chairman of Charlton Athletic, he has been removed and my authority as a major shareholder allows me to do this," he said.

"He lied to the people actually when he said the club is safe until December. Now we are going to inject the money because we found that there is no money in the club."

The verdict

The last few weeks have been incredibly uncertain for Charlton fans, with the league's suspension and the boardroom dispute leading some to question the club's long-term viability.

However, Nimer looks to be keen on making up for this and appears to be ready to make the necessary investment.

Time will tell if this turns out to be true, but things certainly look more stable than they did last week.
