In an interview in yesterday's Football League Paper, presumably undertaken before the Blackpool game, Nathan Jones denies that Charlton are punching above their weight in League One. It is noted that Charlton's resources are more limited than those of Birmingham orc Wrexham, 'but Jones won't tolerate anyone calling Charlton a poor relation.'
'There are clubs in the division spending more than us, yes. But let's not forget this is a big football club, a really big football club.'
I am never sure how one judges that, but Jones insists, 'We've got a wonderful fanbase. A fabulous stadium. A proud history. This is as big a club as there is in the division. Financially - okay, we might be underdogs. To go and do stuff against the odds or overcome certain limitations when things are not in your favour - that's something we thrive on.'
'When we came in the club was in a perilous position. So we tried to lay foundations for this season.'
'There's still plenty more to come from this group. We've won games without being really fluent, but you can't build a roof without laying the foundations.'
