Charlton Athletic 2007–08 football season
During the 2007–08 English football season, Charlton Athletic participated in the Football League Championship , having been relegated from the Premier League the previous season.
Charlton's kits were produced by Spanish company Joma . The club retained the sponsorship of the Spanish property company, Llanera, who declared bankruptcy during the season.
Season review [ edit ]
Pre-season [ edit ]
Pre-season was dominated by the transfer speculation involving England striker Darren Bent . A fee was agreed with West Ham United , but the player himself rejected the deal,[1] instead choosing to join Tottenham Hotspur two weeks later for a club record sale of £17 million.[2] A number of other key players, such as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink ,[3] Talal El Karkouri ,[3] Hermann Hreiðarsson Scott Carson and Alex Song , also left the club after relegation.
League review [ edit ]
After the first ten games of the season, Charlton were second in the league table, behind leaders Watford , having beaten Sheffield Wednesday , Crystal Palace , Norwich City , Leicester City and Hull City , drawn with Scunthorpe United , Colchester United , Coventry City and Barnsley and lost just once, to Stoke City . At the end of the season, Charlton finished 12th losing several matches, the worst being the embarrassing 3–0 loss to struggling Barnsley.
