Charlton will play a behind-closed-doors friendly against Birmingham on Saturday.

The ‎game will be played at the Blues’ Wast Hill training ground.

Lee Bowyer’s side will probably play another couple of warm-up games before travelling to Swindon for the Carabao Cup on 5 September.

Thomas Sandgaard was the subject of a two-page spread in Tuesday’s Sun. The 62-year-old Dane is a big rock music fan.

He is putting a band together to record an album, but that is on hold for now.

Sandgaard is confident of completing a deal to buy the club quickly, despite Paul Elliott applying for a High Court injunction.

He wants to get back to the Championship as quickly as possible, but will not take risks to get to his ultimate goal – the Premier League.

Stability is Sandgaard’s way. He is a fan of Bowyer, and has promised funds will be made available for the manager to strengthen his squad.

Thomas Sandgaard told the SLP on Monday that negotiations were progressing well, and that his bid to buy the club could be completed by the end of the week.
