On the 23rd July 2023, I was standing in The Valley when the call from the lawyer came through confirming the purchase of Charlton Athletic Football Club by Global Football Partners. The first thing I did was go up to the Boardroom and take down a picture of the previous owner which was visible from outside the stadium — I wanted to make sure the change felt real.
In the middle of the day-to-day of running an organisation as intense as a football club, you sometimes miss how seismic some of the longer-term changes can be. When I compare the club now against the one we bought three years ago, the breadth of those changes really sinks in. Nearly every facet of the club has been improved — investment in The Valley including a new pitch, floodlights, safe standing, LEDs and a comprehensive repaint; similar upgrades at the Sparrows Lane training ground; non-broadcast revenues which have more than doubled in two years; attendances at a twenty-year high (and the highest-attended FA Cup match in half a century); and of course promotion for both the men's team to the Championship, and the magnificent Charlton Athletic Women's Football Club team to the WSL — bringing top-flight football back to The Valley.
None of this is possible without an enormous number of people and organisations committing their energy and resources to making things better every day — staff, players, commercial partners, ownership, supporters, suppliers, stakeholders. It's a long list and I'm grateful to each and every one of them.
As I leave The Valley for the last time, I'd simply like to say one thing:
Thank you.A lot of m-dashes in that Ed. You can tell chatGPT to stop doing that3 -

Cawley mentions on his Pod that Warrick's departure from the Club he understands was not his own decision to leave.4

What would you like to discuss next? Just let me know — I’ll be ready and waiting.

Ed's directorship was terminated on June 3rd, which is six days before the club statement, according to the Companies House filing.4

Successive relegation will do nothing to reduce our losses, quite the opposite in fact.jose said:Maybe a finance person will come in with the remit that the club breaks even, which might mean successive relegations but the survival of Charlton Athletic.
It is possible that our dozen or so billionaires don’t want to subsidise our interest any longer.
So I can't see that being part of the plan.0
