Despite the apt title, the article wasn't specifically about Charlton. It was about football more generally and focussed on Blackburn in particular. Nothing specific about our plight but there are a couple of lines mentioning us and a tacit understanding that things are very wrong at Charlton:
➽ Blackburn, Charlton, Coventry, Blackpool and others are in terrible situations that need to be reviewed.
➽ Charlton. Seventh in the Premier League in 2004, but relegated in 2007 and 2009. The takeover by Roland Duchatelet in 2014 angered fans.
➽ [Cardiff City] is a club which five years ago would have been listed alongside Blackburn, Charlton and Coventry as a football basket case...
Most of all though I was pleased that it was my son pictured on the front of their Sports section:
Oh, and if anyone is in or around Blackburn on 2nd September, you might like to support Rock Against The Venkys that night.
