Amazing how clubs are imploding Mail Charlton on the brink as £40m debt is set to scupper takeover bid Charlton are poised to be the next club to fall into administration, with a takeover bid on the brink of collapse because of debts of up to £40m. A group of local businessmen who had been in talks about a £30m buy-out were alarmed to discover the extent of the League One club's liabilities. A source close to the bid said last night: 'The club are going through a slow, painful death. In strict business terms, a club with 10 fewer points, but millions of pounds less debt would be a far more attractive proposition.' www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1199063/Charlton-brink-40m-debt-set-scupper-takeover-bid.html

Not long since Charlton were held up as the shining light example of how a club should be run.
Now an even better example of how a club can be ruined (again).
Given that amount of money, they are more than three times worse off than Saints were.
