Rosenthal involved in takeover

Former Liverpool striker Ronnie Rosenthal is involved in the projected takeover of Charlton Athletic, according to the SLP's Richard Cawley. Rosenthal is now a football consultant, so could advise any prospective purchasers. He has been shown round The Valley by Katrien Meire.

Rosenthal is Israeli by origin, but that probably has no relevance to the identity of the buyers. Some sources are claiming that Chinese money is involved, which is quite possible.

His wife is Belgian and he is linked to a Belgian sports management firm.
