What Has Gone Wrong at Charlton Athletic?

Listen on

Episode notes

There's a curious phenomenon in modern football. Clubs who have centuries-long pedigrees are suddenly finding it hard to survive.

The last in the litany of beleaguered football clubs is Charlton Athletic.

Having dropped down into League One last season, the club is now in a race to prove to the EFL they have sufficient funds to survive next season. If they can't, they risk been expelled from the football league.

In this episode, we ask: what has gone wrong at Charlton Athletic?
