Ex-Charlton Athletic chairman Matt Southall is reportedly looking to sell his stake in the club for a high six-figure sum, which has left many Addicks fans fuming.

Southall is understood to have purchased a 35% stake in the club during East Street Investments' takeover of the and was installed as chairman when it was initially agreed late last year.

In January, it was announced that the takeover had been completed, with ESI buying the club from Roman Duchaletet for £1 and a further agreement in place to buy the stadium and training ground for £50 million this summer.

It has been far from plain sailing for Charlton and Southall since. Following an ugly boardroom dispute with majority shareholder Tahnoon Nimer, he was removed as chairman after both parties traded allegations about the running of the club.

The EFL have since announced that they're investigating the takeover, and the involvement of both men, over concerns of misconduct.

Richard Cawley from the South London Press reported today that Southall is looking for a six-figure sum for his stake in the club, thought to be 35%.

That news has drawn a frustrated reaction from fans of the south London club, with many taking to Twitter to voice their thoughts.
