Quote "People were actually moaning at the time that we 'only' finished in mid-table," said the former Charlton midfielder Danny Murphy. "It's only now that people realise how much of an achievement that was."'"
Quote "One bad season and it can take five to 10 years to recover. Mentally, I'm already prepared for life in League One, but people should always remember that Charlton have come back from far, far worse than this." The homeless days of 1985-92 should offer context even to current miseries.'"
