    [cite]Posted By: American_Addick[/cite]Little clubs don't have near 30,000 capacity modern stadiums, excellent training facilities, a solid academy and can bring in more than 14,000 in the Third Division.

    Giants? No.
    Sleeping? Yes.

    Given the clubs facilities and catchment area, a big club that is underachieving.

    ManU, Arsenal, Liverpool and now Chelsea and ManCity are giants.
    Sperz, Villa, Newcastle, Leeds are next.

    Charlton are lower Premier, mid-to-upper Championship-size club.
    Now let's get back to that status.

    Do you get 14k though? There has to be a bit of doubt as your attendance figures are published by the brothers grimm!

    I think your 2 (and hopefully plus) seasons in football's lower tiers are just bringing your average league position back down to its proper level.

    But its not all bad news, 3 or 4 seasons in the third tier actually helps sort the club out and come back stronger for the next go at taking a dip in the premiership money bath!

    Oh good, another AFKA classic on its way. Can't wait, more exciting than all this new manager stuff.

    So you're a free thinker? Does your thinking improve if someone pays you?
