With the new owners (nearly!) in place where do you want the club to be in 5 years, and how will it get there? 

Personally I would want us to get back to where we were circa 2001-2006, a solid Prem club with a foundation laid to potentially threaten a top 8 finish or even a League/FA cup win in the near future after that. A rebuilt south stand with the corners filled in would be lovely too!

    A good team in the championship beating The spanners and the nigels, with decent cup runs. A dip into the prem to build following and  worldwide acknowledgement (no Charlton not Chelsea).

    Good owners who engage with the fans, embrace our history and beliefs and provide us with a solid footing in The Championship both financial and recruitment.

    Could not give a toss about The Premiership at this stage.

    I just want us to be a stable club that's known for bringing through young players and playing attractive attacking football.

    With Taylor back from injury (hopefully) wouldn't want to face them with just the one (Bonne) up front. ;)

    Hopes for the next five years?

    Retirement, lower my golf handicap, and do a lot more travelling - maybe buy a place in the sun.

    That sounds like the 5 year plan for Lewis Page!

    Solid financial position, hopefully promoted, humiliate rivals and hopefully shag my secretary. 

    Oh... Charlton?

    I found the Prem slightly nauseating by the time we went down in 2007. It was about the same time that the FA decided that Thaksin Shinawatra was “fit and proper”.

    While it would be good to be playing the top sides again, we need to be competitive (there’s no fun getting tonked every week). So 5 years stabilising and winning a trophy would suit me. Hopefully by 2025 they’ll have sorted out VAR!

    I’d take becoming competitive / strong  in the championship but I want trophies and a total transformation into a hugely successful club

    Trouble is, it's not so much what we want. However much the Premiership is disliked and being competitive in the Championship would be preferred, it's what the owners want that will determine where we end up. 2shits would rather have us in League 1 with added dancing than funding staying where we are now or aiming higher, having paid what they have paid I'm very hopeful they are aiming higher. All subject to the pen pushers at the efl .......

    Life is life.

    Charlton will always be Charlton.

    Whether you like the premier League or not, you've always got to aim as high as you can. It's what keeps us going and what motivates us.

    Yeh ok, there are some strange things about the premier League....but Charlton will always be Charlton.

    Just because if or when we might be next to other multi multi millionaire clubs....it doesn't take anything away from us. Long as we are managed well and ok then everything is fine. Just have to go with the flow.

    We're a special club.

    I just hope we are managed well and we give it our best.

    Then just take it from there and see where it goes.
