Methven on new spending controls and recent club developments

Charlton chief executive spoke to Richard Cawley about (among other things):

The new EFL spending controls:

“These are changes which are long overdue but we, as a club, are absolutely delighted to see being voted through.”

The appointment of Gavin Carter as non-executive chairman:

“Gavin has been an independent non-executive for a little while and as he has become more across a lot of the detail in the organisation, the investors felt it was a good time to appoint an independent chairman."

Expanding the diversity of the supporter base:

“That is going to be a major theme of 2025 and one we’re working closely with Charlton Athletic Supporters’ Trust on, making sure a process is also inclusive of Charlton fans as well.”

Ensuring the Academy is the cornerstone of the club's future.:

“Part of that is sorting the structure that sits between the academy and the first-team. They are much closer than they would have been since we came to the club."
