In the medium term, take home pay is going to be squeezed and Charlton need to provide attractive football to maintain support levels.Wyn Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17473299774041779419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-14301445567636011602011-06-17T13:14:39.759+01:002011-06-17T13:14:39.759+01:00This is probably the wrong forum for the debate bu...This is probably the wrong forum for the debate but I would suggest the UK's long term economic prospects may be better than Switzerland's and I would certainly suggest better than Sweden's and Germany's. Short term maybe not, but long term, the UK's economy should be robust assuming government policy doesn't force the financial sector to move elsewhere.<br /><br />I think football operates in a false economy, it is not subject to the same market necessities as other industries owing to the continued enthusiam of wealthy benefactors. Though this is arguably complacent thinking, the fact that no league clubs have gone out of business in spite of their financial mess, is evidence that clubs do not operate in the same manner as other businesses. That should be cause for optimism. Anything could happen to Charlton over the next few years...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-63018049324128217662011-06-17T11:29:47.477+01:002011-06-17T11:29:47.477+01:00Spot on Wyn

On that basis, and with the exception of BWW, there has been little evidence yet that the new owners are willing to invest in a serious promotion challenge next season. Few of the players linked with the club so far this summer are good enough to guarantee this. Of course, there may be a lot going on behind the scenes, but time is running out to assemble a really good squad in time for a proper pre-season.There are currently only 12 experienced players signed up for next season. Maybe NYA's '3/4 seasons for promotion' is not off the mark.Rob Killicknoreply@blogger.com
