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.
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.
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.
