Thousands of Charlton fans gathered outside The Valley to protest against Belgian owner Rolan Duchatelet.

The Addicks drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest on Saturday to stay second-bottom in the Championship, three points above basement club Bolton and one from safety.

Charlton are still yet to appoint a permanent successor to Guy Luzon, who was axed in October, with Karel Fraeye continuing as interim boss on an indefinite basis.

The sorry state of Charlton, allied with the sale of the club's best players without signing satisfactory replacements, has led many to grow tired of life under Duchâtelet, who completed his takeover at The Valley two years ago tomorrow.

And fans in their thousands stayed behind after the stalemate with Forest to voice their concerns.

The large gathering followed similar scenes before kick-off as supporters urged the current owner to sell the club, with fliers distributed among fans and banners made up to drum home the message.
