During the 2000–01 English football season, Charlton Athletic competed in the FA Premier League .
Season summary
edit
Alan Curbishley and his Charlton side won many admirers after their Division One title glory gained them promotion back to the Premiership at the first time of asking. This time he kept them there with an excellent ninth-place finish and 52 points. They would have finished higher still - and possibly qualified for Europe - had their defence not been the leakiest of any in the top 15 and the sixth leakiest in the division. Still, it was a superb achievement for a side who had been among the favourites of many punters to suffer an immediate return to the Nationwide League . The arrival of striker Jason Euell from Wimbledon in a club record deal gave fans hope of more success in 2001–02.[1]
