Lee Bowyer began his playing career at Charlton and won promotion in his first full season as the club's managerCharlton manager Lee Bowyer believes a takeover of the club could move nearer after the club were promoted to the Championship via the play-offs. The Addicks have officially been up for sale since the end of 2017, but owner Roland Duchatelet has been unable to agree a deal for the club. "I think this is a great club and I can't understand why no one has bought it, even before now," Bowyer said. It is one league away from the Premier League and everybody knows about the rewards you get there." "The owner rang me [on Saturday] to wish us luck and then he said we will speak very soon," Bowyer said.
