an open letter to the players. I will post it up here, if others are happy with it, it can go under the banner of this site, i will forward to Henry and hopefully he can forward on to the right party. If others disagree, it can be amended, or shelved.
I personally think this might be a better way to get a collective opinion accross rather than in person where things don't normally go to plan and sometimes things can be worded wrongly in the heat of the moment.

Pull your fecking fingers out.
Love
Charlton Life.
AFKA that's a great idea, whilst a handpicked group of fans meeting the players is a lovely idea and is worth pursuing I doubt the club will allow it, however I can't see how they can object to a letter although I do wonder if some of the player care what we think, but if we can get through to some of them it can only help.
As fans we can accept defeat providing we feel that our team has played as well as it can and the players have given their all in the cause.
One particular player did not have a good game on Saturday but he had the commitment to put himself up for selection when not fully fit. If every player in the squad showed that sort of attitude rather than standing around gesticulating at others whilst doing nothing themselves then we may be doing rather better than at present.
All we are really saying is that Charlton Athletic is a large part of our lives and will remain so after you all leave the Club. We have fought long and hard to get back to The Valley, redevelop it and at the same time establish ourselves in the Premiership.
That information may make you appreciate how frustrating it is to watch a team of extremely well paid players appear to have little or no regard for either their performance or the result whilst throwing away the hard work of the last 15 years.
If you want to know what Charlton is about speak to your new coach, Mark Kinsella. That man as a player exemplified everything we have tried to say in this letter.
As much as I admire your defending of Faye, he has been shocking both in ability and desire since August. I wouldnt waste pen ink on him.
I was actually referring to Reid this time although the same is true of Faye.

spot on
We pay part of them, Sky pay the majority though.
That might change next year :-)
Faye brings nothing to the team!
So if I buy products or services from the company you work for I'm entitled to know why you were sacked "cos I pay your wages"
Football comes under the same employment law as any other sector. Just cos we are fans not customers doesn't alter that
I know thats negative but I just cant see what it would do other than sound very patronising.
Do you tell your customers everything about your company? Especially when somethings gone very wrong.
Different to you and to me emotionally certainly. Different in law not at all.
Does it actually make a lot of difference though, what would change if you knew?
We should batton down the hatches, and do our best to support the team.
Unfortunately, you're spot on CS.
