Richard Cawley has been talking to CAFC chairman Gavin Carter. The chairman more or less confirmed that this season the Addicks had had one of the lowest budgets in the Championship, simply noting that crisis club Sheffield Wednesday's playing budget was lower.
He also pointed out that the metrics were not straightforward. Confidential discussions did take place with other clubs when visiting them for matches. He realised that fans were not keen on key performance indicators, but they were a key decision-making tool.
One of the reasons the board liked Nathan Jones was that he had shown at Luton that he could manage a constrained budget.
Discussions about next year's budget will begin towards the end of March, It was evident that the board was waiting to see what the finishing position would be.
The owners are open to the injection of fresh capital, but are more focused on the quality rather than the amount
