Charlton Athletic’s supporters are reveling in the team’s impressive recent form, as the club enjoys a remarkable resurgence under the guidance of manager Nathan Jones. The Addicks are blazing a trail with an incredible seven-game winning run at their home base, The Valley. This unprecedented performance is actually their best since 2019! This Saturday, they are set to face play-off rivals Huddersfield Town in a crucial clash, live on Sky Sports at 12:30 pm.
Charlton’s remarkable turnaround is largely attributed to Jones’ leadership. When he started in December 2020, the squad was perched on the lower edge of the relegation zone. As a result, they’ve all but guaranteed themselves a place in the League One play-off places. Now, they want to move up the league table entirely. Much of this success can be attributed to the stability provided by the club’s new ownership group, SE7 Partners. This backing has allowed Jones to realize his ambitious, overarching goal of winning by creating success.
A Transformative Era
Charlton, on the other hand, has gone through a stormy few years. They’ve plowed through three ownership groups and six skippers in a mere five and a half years. The Nathan Jones arrival has had a soothing effect, providing the continuity that the jittery club is missing. He is intimately connected to Charlton’s history and infrastructure. This unique knowledge allows him to empathize with the players and supporters and foster a balanced environment at the club.
Jones has been a huge advocate of hard work and dedication, even outside of the pitch. Training sessions at Charlton’s ground have become a breeding ground for teamwork and rapport-building between players and fans, further enhancing the club’s community spirit.
“We’ve asked, ‘give us time and we’ll build you something’. And we’ve got that. And now we’re in a really good place. We’ve achieved nothing. Absolutely nothing. But we’re in a categorically better position than we were last year.” – Nathan Jones
Building a Winning Project
Nathan Jones remains unabated in his desire to take Charlton back to the very top of the league. Jones is up against it, under pressure, like every manager of a League One club. He’s undeterred in his quest to make Charlton a winner. His goal is to achieve success come hell or high water. His commitment is evident in his approach to managing the team and his focus on building a strong foundation for future success.
“But I didn’t come here to manage a League One football club. We came here to manage Charlton.” – Nathan Jones
Charlton’s board support has been crucial in this period of transformation. The understanding and patience shown by the board have allowed Jones to navigate through challenges and maintain focus on long-term goals.
“The board have been excellent in terms of an understanding of going through a tricky spell,” – Nathan Jones
The Impact of Stability
Charlton has recently received a new ownership group, SE7 Partners. Their introduction has been key in providing the kind of stability that is needed for success. This sense of security has allowed Jones and his team to concentrate on their primary objective: winning matches and competing for promotion.
Charlton’s supporters have been enjoying the team’s recent success, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication shown by both the players and the management team. The Addicks are flying high near the top of the promotion hunt! Each game brings them all one step closer to realizing their collective dream.
“I’ve got a very, very good group here and you just need to remind them sometimes that to do the things that we’re asking them to do, to be at their full throttle every session, every game, you have to live right,” – Nathan Jones
