Llanera file for bankruptcy

A spokesman for Charlton said Llanera’s bankruptcy would have 'no immediate impact' on the club. He said: 'We’ve not had much luck with sponsors. This is somewhat ironic give that Llanera came in to rescue us when All:sports collapsed.

'The club’s stance has not changed considerably since Llanera’s financial difficulties first emerged. We were hoping they would come through it although it appears that is no longer going to happen.' [I do find this very suprising as central bank and other reliable sources in Spain were telling a very different story. I would have thought the club would have better information sources.]

'There is no affect [sic] on the club in the short term as they have already paid for their sponsorship this season, and it is too early to say what will happen in the close season.'

Presumably, there will be some elaboration of the short and somehwat bland statement that appeared in the last programme.

On the football front, former Addicks captain Luke Young has been called up to replace the injured Ashley Cole in the England squad for the key game against Russia.
