PARKY & THE BOARD SHOULD WALK

edited January 2009 in General Charlton
still no wins and we start the most important match since Wembley 98 with 1 up-front and 2 useless cretins on the bench.

where was Dickson or McLeod ? why has Fleetwood been given another month at Brighton ? and why Burton ?

  • Errr...WTF???
  • BOth at the same time?

    Fans should walk as well and the club cease to exist

    I don't think he's very happy, mate
  • So the board walk, along with the xxx mill the club owe them, then what happens?

    idiot.
  • Calm down.
  • Nice idea Golfie.

    I would recommend either the South Bank, or somewhere in Sussex with a country pub on route.

    Not really the weather for it though, to be honest.
  • Where the hell does this belief in Dickson come from? He handed in a transfer request, he does not want to play for Charlton... and yet the fans still sing his name.

    McLeod? McLeod? Are you having a laugh?
  • Agree with you about the tactics but we would be truly screwed if the board pull the plug. We are about as an attractive proposition as a naked vanessa feltz in a well lit room whilst sober so I havent got a clue who would be prepared to take us on and pump their cash in particularly in the current climate and our financial position.
  • Dickson, Fleetwood and McLeod are utter pony. Face it - we don't have a single player at the club who is likely to score more than four times between now and the end of the season. Why don't you buy the board out Golfie? Oh - that's right - you probably haven't got a few million quid just knocking about unused.
  • We have been a team in terminal decline for the past four years... If the board gave a FU*K I'm sure some of us would have noticed by now.

    Spot on.

    I'm pretty sure he does want to play for Charlton. But when he's consistently scoring for the reserve, majorly impressing on loan and he still doesn't get in the team... What else is he supposed to do?

    Do you have 30 odd mill to plow into the club?

    Why would they be apathetic about the decline of their club? Most of them are true charlton fans and its probably hurting them as much as us at the state we are in and also hurting their pockets. Even from a business point of view if they had lost interest it would be in their best intentions to have the club in a healthy state and successful position to be appealing to potential buyers.

    I dont think its a question of their comitment more of a case of the aftershock of curbishley departing who (which is patently obvious now) was keep the ship stable and more. Maybe they lack the required acumen to make successful decisions in the modern game and are at a loss as to knowing how to repair the damage of the past couple of years but they certainly dont not give a f***.

  • I'm pretty sure he does want to play for Charlton.
    No, quite clearly he doesn't. He wants to leave. He handed in a transfer request the rest in just conjecture.

    What a fucking stupid question.

    Sorry Rodney but I'm bored of reading that argument. This club has been mismanaged from the top to the bottom for the past four years.

    Did not some of this same Board inject cash when it was much needed to effectively transfer the debt from not so friendly into friendly debt.

    I always thought if I came into some money I would like to invest in CAFC. But seeing some of the sniping on here recently I would not want to inject my own cash and then suffer this sort of virtriol when it all goes tits up. Thats football.

    I feel somewhat (but not completely) reassured that as our bankers of last resorts are fans Murray/Chappell et al that we are financially underpinned by friends as opposed to aggressive cynical bankers who have no real interest in Charlton. What would be the situation if they had not taken that action.

    I dont agree with all thats gone on but our enemies are not within the club.

    Fair enough VFR but mismanagement and not caring are seperate issues (as proved by David Brent!)

    They management has been incompetent but not through lack of passion or comittment to whats best for the club. I just cant see how being apathetic to the point of deterioating the sound prospects we had two years ago would have been in any of their interests.
  • If I had the money they had I would buy them out - but as you say, I havn't and therefore I can't.

    That doesn't mean I can't criticise a board of directors who have taken a well run Premiership club and in 3 years turned in into a Div 1 club - without even the excuse of doing a Leeds and spending tens of millions getting to a Champions League quarter final.

    They had the chance 2 months ago to sort the problem out - they decided to give Pardew a few more games and sacked him 4 games too late. They then proceeded to give Parky a go (ala Les Reed) in the hope he could turn it around. When he plainly couldn't they then give him the job for 18 months.

    His transfer dealings are worse than Pardew's and are starting to become Dowiesque. Pardew brough in Gray after "tracking " him for some time. Parky brought in Burton after admitting "admiring" him for some time. Between them they have scored 7 goals this season - 4 from the penalty spot.

    I don't know what you all do for a living - but I'd reckon that if you were this incompentent you'd be out on your ear by now, so why shouldn't they be ?
  • [cite]Posted By: Valley_floyd_red[/cite]No, quite clearly he doesn't. He wants to leave. He handed in a transfer request the rest in just conjecture.

    He hasnt been given the chance to play for Charlton, I'd much rather a player ask to leave, in order to play football, the sit back and take a wage.

    [cite]Posted By: Valley_floyd_red[/cite]What a fucking stupid question.

    In response to a stupid statement.

    They are trying to get out, thats the point, the board have admitted they don't have the funds to compete anymore, sadly no one is interested.

    We are still in a much, much better situation than many clubs.
  • Why shouldn't we criticise the board? Yes, Charlton would never have got to the position they did had it not been for the careful and prudent management applied over the year that lead to our premiership promotion. BUT that same board has been responsible for our decline and continued terrible form. End of.
  • In retrospect Dowie and Reed were terrible appointments but on paper he was a relatively successful up and coming manager when he blagged the job. Same as Pardew if they hadnt backed Pardews many (again restrospectively) underperforming players they may have been accused of hindering him and hampering his plans and not showing the faith that they had given him by appointing him. Ok maybe they could have had more balls regarding transfer dealings but without the luxury of hindsight they werent to know that he would prove to be so incompetent. With the whole pardew shambles leaving us without a pot to relieve ourselves in and still reeling from the hastiness and turbulence of the dowie and reed appointments parkinson was probably deemed the only truly realistic option. With no readily available otpions(who wanted to come to a club with no transfer fees languishing at the wrong end of the table?).

    A shite appointment as parkinson is clearly not the answer but there werent any real apointments. I think we have been totally mismanaged on and off the field but not becuse of lack of caring.
  • What Stu said.

    He's never going to play for Charlton because they won't give him the chance. It's conjecture to say that he doesn't want to.

    Pretty sure it was the fans who called for the appoinment of Pardew. Still, you go ahead and blame the people who are responsible for our existence.
  • Yeh by all means put in your own cash be it £1m £5m or whatever and do it on terms far more favourable to the club than normal financial/market terms.

    And if you dare suggest that you dont have deeper pockets and that you would like someone with more capital to step in to what has become a Global financial circus involving some of the worlds richest people. Well shame on you.

    But be it on your own head if you muck it up for we can slag you off good and proper.

    Doesnt seem fair to me.

    And therein lays the paradox. It's almost Shakespearean in its complexity. Destroy the creator?

    Spot on.

    Utter horseshit, clownshoes. At least in the case of Dickson. The only objective measure we have of his ability is goals in the reserves and goals on loan. He's scored close to a goal a game in both instances.

    Apologists for the current situation are the problem.
