An article on a national newspaper’s website last night referenced that Matthew Southall has launched a High Court insolvency action against Charlton over unpaid fees.
Club lawyer Chris Farnell said: “We are aware of Mr Southall’s alleged claim, which we feel is entirely misplaced and ridiculous, as such it will be vigorously defended. It is our intention to bring proceedings against Mr Southall and others arising out of his short tenure at the club.
“In the recent past too much has been played out in public, which is not professional and unfair on the Charlton fans, and with this in mind the club will not make any further statements on this matter.”
