Charlton were mathematically relegated before a ball was even kicked in 1998/9

Honestly, they were! Then what happened?

Burnley came up for 2009/10 and went back down after being patronised all season like we've been. Came up for 2014/15 and went back down. Then what happened?

What did Charlton and Burnley have in common? Limited resources. Above, you've compared us with Wolves! Megabucks FC. That is nonsense; absolute nonsense.

And what's also nonsense is attacking a long term plan when big time football IS A BUSINESS - and when we can't afford to gamble our whole future. It takes patience, huge amounts of it; and it takes excellent decisions at all times.
