    The letter was brought into the museum today by Ed Warrick.


    It’s clear they want to offload their squad to us for a knock down price when they are busted down to the conference

    They haven't quite got over this.

    It still leaves a scar.

    Here's an appropriate reply:

    Charlton Athletic Football Club
    The Valley, Floyd Road
    London, SE7 8BL

    4 July 2025

    To: Manchester City Football Club
    Etihad Stadium
    Manchester, M11 3FF

    Dear Manchester City,

    Thank you for your recent letter congratulating us on our promotion to the Championship. We appreciate the gesture, and it’s always good to receive acknowledgement from clubs operating at the very highest level of the game.

    That said, we must admit your timing was... notable. Many of our fans had looked forward to the FA Cup Final with great interest — and a quiet hope that a club of your calibre, with your experience on the biggest stages, would approach the match with the seriousness it warranted.

    Instead, what unfolded gave the impression — rightly or wrongly — that the occasion wasn’t given quite the respect it deserved. Of course, it’s not for us to comment on another club’s priorities, but in the end you didn't win The Club World Cup anyway. The sense of opportunity wasted against Palarse in the world's truly greatest competition is hard to ignore.

    While we appreciate the gesture, the events of the final have sparked a bit of reflection here at The Valley. After some consideration, we’ve found a renewed admiration for the traditional values, tenacity, and sheer spirit of Manchester United. So although your letter is noted — warmly, of course — we’ll be cheering a little louder from now on when it’s them putting five past your high line.

    We’ll take great pride into next season, along with a slightly altered view of how certain clubs handle moments that matter.


    Yours sincerely,
    David Jenkins
    Club Secretary
    Charlton Athletic Football Club

    Rather than the letter they could send us some loanees that aren’t absolute tosh

    Was just City or were there other teams?

    Seems a little random (and if we had an affliation with them, would of appreciated a game during pre-season).

    They sent a similar one to Leyton Orient. Vile behaviour.

    WHO the €&@€ are Man City.

    Remember the days we beat them 5-0 and 
    4-0 at home.

    Maybe they were after a referral to our former legal advisor Farnell to help with their current ‘FFP’ woes? 😆

    Very random indeed but a lovely gesture.

    BUT if they want to congratulate us then send us Foden, Rodri and Haaland on loan as promotion present. :smiley:
    We’ve missed Tedic

    I bet they send a similar letter to every promoted club.
