Charlton: "My hands are tied," says Parkinson
Charlton manager Phil Parkinson says he cannot wait to bring some new players in to his team.
However, with the club heavily rumoured to be going through a takeover, the Addicks boss says is having to hold back on preparations.
Parkinson said: "We've got a lot of holes to fill in this squad and we are waiting to do that.
"Without actually saying it, people realise that my hands are pretty tied at the moment in that area.
"Also, all the players who are out of contract we haven't been in a position to offer new deals to because of the situation.
"Once these issues have been resolved at the club, we can hopefully sit down with the players."
When pushed on the takeover talk, Parkinson said: "That question is for the board but everyone can see we need some players in the building.
"When the time is right we can get down and build on that."
Parkinson was talking after Charlton's first pre-season friendly this year at Welling on Wednesday, which saw the Addicks draw 1-1 with Scott Wagstaff on target.
New signing Miguel Angel Llera was given his first start in a match, in which the Addicks fielded 11 new players in each half against the Blue Square South side.
