Share boost to Curbishley kitty

Alan Curbishley looks set to see his transfer kitty boosted after Charlton announced a share issue which is expected to raise £5.525m (€8.3m).

The Addicks have already committed themselves to an outlay of £3m (€4.5m) this summer by signing England U21 striker Darren Bent from Ipswich, and Curbishley is keen to recruit at least three more new faces before the start of pre-season training next month.
