Firstly, Charlton's failure to book their place in League One's coveted Play-Off Final in just under two weeks time sees them unable to bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt. Athletic, who are now resigned to another season in the third tier, must be prepared to lose their best players this summer. Lloyd Sam is unarguably one of them; the striker has made made a whopping 47 appearances in all competitions for the Addicks this season. Sky Sports claim United, Neil Warnock's QPR and Leicester City are all in for the midfielder.
Sky Sports also understand that the Blades, Bristol City, Swansea City and Dundee United are all targeting a move for Motherwell midfielder Giles Coke on a free. Coke can opt to spend a further season in the SPL, or he can seek pastures new and head down south to be a Championship footballer for the first time.
