But Sandgaard’s advisers suggest a small investment could help the club.

Spiegel and his consortium had hoped to complete a takeover this week, but talks have stalled.

Their exclusivity period with Sandgaard – which was signed in February – has also expired.

American businessman Spiegel recently revealed his ambition for Charlton.
