Charlton manager Phil Parkinson insists the latest round of takeover speculation will not affect him or his players.

Former Birmingham owners David Gold and David Sullivan, as well as a consortium fronted by ex-Leeds boss Dennis Wise, have this week been linked with the Valley club.

Parkinson said: "I know there are various ongoing talks but, as I've said many times, I'm just blocking it out of mine and the players' minds.

"That's the only way to deal with it. We're paid to do our jobs and it shouldn't affect that."
