I believe we will improve enough to at least stay in the division, and with some wheeling & dealing in January and getting rid of the loanees, we will have a better, hungrier squad, but only just enough to regroup properly in the summer, and hopefully some outside investment.
Perspective is needed, there are far worse situations we have been in, and worse things going on in the world, nobodys died, and it is, after all, just a bloody game.
Live, Love, Laguh & Be Happy
We are being beaten by teams that have stabillity and are also playing as teams, how can players come in in January and turn it around there just isnt enough time by then.
We can hope for a long time for investment!
The board have provided us as supporters with a fantastic stadium and put in place structures to suit the situation, they only need those people to DO their job and that should be enough!
Absolutely. My view of football has changed forever over the last couple of weeks and I don't think it will dominate my life ever again. My son went into hospital on the day of the QPR game to have an infected cyst removed from his neck but there were complications as it had attached itself to the jugular vein. A simple procedure turned into a nightmare after the surgeon 'nicked' the vein causing him to lose a lot of blood. It was touch and go at one point but he survived and is now on the road to a full recovery with his 'Action Man' scar.
As for Charlton at the moment, I couldn't care less whether they survive or get relegated. As you say, it's only a game.
I have it on good authority that Peter Taylor has only 'made it known he would be interested in the job', not actually applied. Like we need another half-arsed Palace mug in the place. No thanks.
PS, what a sorry list that is - can't think of any on there I would want in charge.
I also think Parky will stay and hope he does well, not too may names on that list I'm bothered about, if we were going to go for someone I'd like to see Steve Clarke, definitely worked for Hull going for an experienced number 2.
I think after tomorrow the board have to either make Parky full-time manager or put someone else in. If we lose that's going to be a very tough decision to make.
DA9 you are 100% right although i am pissed off at the current plight we are where we are getting wound up about it aint going to change anything
and how much fact is that? hope not, we need experience now.
Saw he was watching his beloved hammers last night
My mate who works for a large cement company told me this is concrete. His wife works in our club shop and we put a large order in yesterday for for the individual letters of his surname to go on the back of shirts.
Forza Charlton !
Are these hard facts?
You know, AFKA ....... always ahead with news, he knows the right people.
I can't wait to see Henry give 'The Roman salute'.
I mean if you can take crawley town for the BPL to the premiership and turn them into the kings of europe within 10 seasons then you must be a serious contender...
My record on chamionship manager was always a bit poor, and usually involved taking over man u and getting them o buy kevin lisbie for £20 mill - bargain! So i decided not to apply. Plus being manager i don't think i'd be able to post on here anymore. Although i think if my tactics can be adopted and we can click add manager and take over chelsea just for a few weeks for a bumper £40mill transfer for varney to go through, then i think this is the route we should be taking...
oh and got a double bet thing so actually 20 on at 14-1
I'm guessin its total bollox, the lady at victor chandler pretty much laughed down the phone!!
If they are that confident its boll**, why such short odds, 14-1 for a supposed no goer is quite mean....30-1. 40-1, 50-1 + if their that confident
Maybe she was more laughing at me being a charlton fan, it was a kind of laugh/sympathy/snigger!!
This was how I took it - well love some1's gotta support them haven't they
oh and dowie is stil at 50-1, as iff that should be 1000-1 or just none runner
