A de facto Premiership 2?

One of the worrying aspects of our failure to get promotion this year, given the club's uncertain financial position, is that there seems to be a gap opening up in financial terms between League 1 and the Championship that is increasingly becoming the equivalent of that between the Championship and the Premiership. For example, the gap in television revenues has widened.

Despite his apparent 24/7 work regime, Charlton chief executive Steve Waggott is not flavour of the month with every Addicks fan. However, I thought that he wrote a good article on this subject in the play off programme and I have featured it at our football economy page: Premier 2?

Wyn, was at a supporters evening a few weeks ago when he and David White another director attended and opened themselves up to questions, they both did well, clearly want the best for the club and had obviously been putting long hours into planning our future in Division 1. I don't think it will be want of effort or commitment from them if things don't go well, we just need a bit of luck unlike the handball against Fulham...

I heard about that from other sources. I think the board are doing their best. They have made some mistakes along the way, but we all do - particularly when it comes to personnel decisions. I am thinking here of managers.
