The financial challenge of the Championship

Charlton fans are understandably focused on the various permutations of results that could see us promoted to the Championship. The financial challenges we will face there are brushed aside.

We should remember that:

Charlton loses over a quarter of a million pounds a week
Commercial revenue is increasingly important in the Championship, but Charlton is not strong in that area
The club does not own its stadium or training ground
Our owners do not have the resources of a billionaire as in the case of Kazakh owned Wycombe Wanderers.

Of course, promotion might attract new and wealthier investors, that is the best hope.

However, any analysis of Championship finances is sobering: https://footballeconomyv2.blogspot.com/2025/04/championship-finances-are-little-less.html
