Parish has said they will sell Guehi this month rather than let him run his contract down
This always puzzles me the way some club chairmen/women talk like they hold all the cards.
If a player doesn’t want to leave right now, he doesn’t have to, right? He’s got a contract. Palace have to honour it. So if Guehi decides to hang on so he can get a bumper payday next year, won’t Palace have to just suck it up? Presumably, this would be risky for him in case he gets injured or loses form, but still.
You are correct in that he doesn't have to move. But if he gets a decent offer from a bigger club this summer then he'd be silly to turn it down as you'd assume his aim will be to get a big move.
It's probably different to the example of Trent leaving Liverpool as Madrid pretty obviously said we'll sign you but only if you're on a free.

But Trent wasn't even free. Madrid paid 10m to release him from his contract pre-June 30th.
So, was in bandit country a few years back with a fellow Charlton fan and we ended up in Crystals night club that backed on to the Arthur Waite stand. Was a hot night and the fire exit that led into the stand was left open for ventilation and guarded by a bouncer. My mate told the bouncer he was an Addick and asked if he could have a Jimmy on the pitch. Let's just say small part of that sh*thole will always belong to CAFC

Would they have done so without the world club competition?

Well yes but that was only a last minute decision for the CWC, you'd imagine that in their previous chats they'd discussed him waiting him out and that they generally weren't going to pay a fee for him had he gone a year earlier, or if he'd signed a new deal.
Talking of embarrassment, I was embarrassed by that FA Cup winners flag being waved in front of the Covered End on Saturday - 1947 and 2005. I thought I'd missed something until I was told that 2005 related to the Women's FA Cup win. Ridiculous.

Yep. I fear this qualifies me as a sexist, misogynistic chauvinist, but I also feel like this.
I also agreed with Joey Barton's comment that the penalties in the Women's Eurofinal "were borderline embarrassing". He's a total arsehole, so I clearly need to take a good look at myself.
As I replied to someone on X (which may actually have been @superclive98) - the flag celebrates that fact that Charlton are on of only 6 or so teams in the country that have a Men’s FA Cup Triumph and a Women’s FA Cup Triumph.
Arguably, the women’s team had been more successful that the men’s for a good chunk of time - 2002-2007, and were probably unfairly capitulated on the back of the men’s teams first relegation.
Don’t quite get the hate or embarrassment, of celebrating the achievements of our club- whether than be men’s, women’s or academy!
Dare I say it, if you get embarrassed by a flag- I’d hate to know what else cringes you out!

But if people can't complain about not liking women's football then what would their personality be?
It is slightly dubious promoting the women's FA Cup win as equal to the men's in our history, considering that the women's team were a top team called Croydon FC which we bought in 2000, rather than something organically created. Especially as we then dumped them in 2007.
While the success of that team in the 2000s was great, I feel much more attachment to the current setup.

So what, if this sort of shite needs to be waved on a flag then wave a 1947 one at men’s games and wave the other one at women’s games.
For the record I wasn’t embarrassed but find it cringe worthy
I'm on a horse racing group and a few of the Palace fans call us 'Caravan Dwellers'. Cannot wrap my head around how they think Charlton is in any way as shit as Selhurst/Thornton Heath.

The standard of teams in it is awful - Chelsea won it last year by playing their reserve team. Palace could well win it.
Awful thought.

Secondly, presumably they will make less money from Conference than you do for being in Europa, so that's a plus.

They will play either Fredrikstad or Midtjylland in the play-off round. After all this it would be absolutely hilarious if they got knocked out.
