According to the authoritative Swiss Ramble, Charlton had the second largest transfer spend of any club in in the Championship in the recent transfer window.
The Zurich-based football finance fiend states: 'The club with the highest net spend this summer was Hollywood’s own Wrexham with £24m, which was more than twice as much as Charlton Athletic £10m and Derby County £8m.'
He notes: 'the highest player sales in the Championship are nearly always made by the clubs relegated from the Premier League, as seen again this summer: Southampton £111m (Mateus Fernandes and Tyler Dibling), Ipswich Town £76m (Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson) and Leicester City £47m (Mads Hermansen). Four other clubs sold more than £20m, namely Norwich City £32m, Middlesbrough £25m, Sheffield United £21m and WBA £20m. Every other club made less than £10m from player sales.'
Compared with the barmy Belgian, the current owners have been prepared to spend some money to stay in the Championship.
However, armchair critic Desmond from Deal commented: 'It's all gone on mates of Jones and/or League One journeymen. Mark my words, we'll be relegated by Christmas.'
