Charlton Athletic have allayed fears that the collapse of their principal sponsor will lead to financial difficulties at The Valley.
Spanish property company Llanera have filed for bankruptcy less than halfway through a four-and-a-half year sponsorship deal with the Championship club.
But Charlton claim they have received payment for this season already and will seek a new sponsor ahead of the next campaign.
"It appears that Llanera have been unable to reach an agreement with their bankers on a refinancing deal," chief executive Peter Varney told the club's official website.
"The total debt seems to be around 750million euros and two banks in particular look likely to suffer significant losses.
"But our agreement was structured in a way that means we will not incur any losses in the current financial year."
