Watching last nights game I was so dejected by total lack of skill in our side that I really am now fearful for our future.
When we start next year in Division 1 who will still be with us? I expect only Pope,Fox,Solly,Texiera,Lennon,Bauer in defence, midfield Jackson,Cousins,Harriott,Bergditch, forwards, ?????????
What a mess we find ourselves in,Diarra,Gudmunsson,Lookman,Kashi,Watt,I assume will be sold or let go due to wages, replaced by a bunch of journeymen from Europe and any other gaps filled by Academy Players.
But who will join our Academy when we are a First Division side,wouldn't you want your kids to go to a bigger club in a better league, even bloody Gillingham and Millwall will be in Championship,Palace in Premier League, Ebbsfleet closing gap and Bromley and Dover too,what a shambles.
The campaign to get these people out of our club and into hands of real owners,with real ambition has to escalate or the club will die,don't buy season tickets,don't sponsor club,starve them of income and maybe just maybe,they will decide losing £7 to £10mn a year is just not worth it.
I am an optimist at heart,but I would have to be 100% deluded to think we can survive with Makienok up front and Poyet and Cousins in midfield who rarely cross the halfway line to support the forwards.
The trap door is open, the question is where is the bottom of the pit we are staring into?

Lookman, Vetokele, Watt and Gudmonsson may well be sold to finance the cost of relegation.
Not sure whether Henderson would attract too many bids as he hasn't been that great this season and is very injury prone.
Kashi would have to prove his fitness before anyone would buy him. Let's hope he does get fit and can play for us until at least January.
There are some hungry teams in the third tier and they will take no prisoners. Certainly any blow ins from the continent will get a seeing to. The club is at such a low ebb and the incompetence of the Belgium clique so embedded, it seems at the moment that the only direction for us sadly, is down.
We need to be realistic and realise that the owner is not going to sell up this summer. We need Riga gone and a manager put in place who knows English football. We have some good young players but we need experience too. I dread to think what the standard of players coming in will be especially if they are from second or third division Belgian clubs. We could find ourselves in real trouble right from the start of the season.
All we can do is wait and see what happens during the summer and pre-season.

Henderson, Dmitrovic, Diarra, Motta, Fanni, Harriott, Reza, Lookman, JBG, Makienok, Sanogo, Watt, Pigott, Yun and Poyet all leave for various reasons.
Unless Roland does a 180, sacks Katrien, gets an experienced English manager takes a much more hands off approach etc etc ( just seen a squadron of low flying pigs loop the loop!).
Before any of this happens however get ready to be blamed. This whole mess is of course all our fault!
In two years the Belgians have destroyed the club.
Unless of course the C..NT that is RD Fucks off !
Under this ownership there aren't any lessons learnt, simply an economy of scale in place.
In League 1 it'll be less JBG, Bauer and Kashi and more Nego, Thuram and PP type signings.
The freefall will continue to spiral just as it did under Murray until something gives being RD sells up or changes his ways. I expect our lowest ever league finish in the club's history next season.
The result is likely to be the lowest finish in Charlton's history and knocking on the door of League 2. Sub 5,000 crowds. The football failure Duchatelet will not take off his blinkers despite the evidence. Murray will continue to disbelieve the evidence of his eyes.
L2 within 2 seasons.
Of course most of you will call me an unrealistic dreamer but I feel we could use some optimism right now.
