Well done @seth plum for being there today19

Yes that's a good piece.
Well done to @seth plum and @Airman Brown. Good to see some sensible comments in there from the fans as well to put the 'conciliatory message' into context.11 -
oh we should be so thankful that they've appointed a head scout - woop de bloody doo0
-
I see this as two steps forward, appointment of Head Scout and appointment of Slade.
Hoping not to see the customary three steps back but have not mortgaged the house on it.0 -
Well done @seth plum and @Airman Brown , came across as very dignified and eloquent.4

Said on the TV Seth is a season ticket holder...............bloody judas

is that the farking sofa in the background at the end of that report fffffs2

The summary at the end isn't quite the way I see it. The best way to build bridges is to sack KM and appoint someone who knows what they're doing, then sell the club. Or vice versa. Results are immaterial.1

Yup, it's sofa Mk 2. Katrien's clear message to the fans.

It's not sofa mk2, but they should have cleared out the remains of sofa Mk10

I love the way the appointment of a Chief Scout is put forward as some sort of positive move. Wow!
Breaking news - Every other club in the League has one. It's common practice. Don't dress it up as some master stroke, because you tried to get by without one and that plan failed miserably.13 -
Katrien laughed when she was asked about a new sofa after the Telegraph conference, she may even have made a comment about needing to try these things just in case they worked... I understood her point.
The Club, via email, confirmed that Target20k had requested the sofa to be removed and that this would happen close season... That seemed reasonable.
The fans ripped the cushions up and left a mess all over the field after the last match.. That seemed like the end.
Instead I realise just how convincing a liar she was - directly in front of me without any cameras or pressure, Target20k are mugged off by the club - yet again, and despite the jokes and complaints we have a fully furnished sofa again - in what appears to be another "fuck you" to the fans.
What a mess this whole situation is. If one thing sums up this situation it's that sofa.2 -
@LuckyReds T20 told me that there were discussions about whether or not there was something that the sofa could be replaced that would engage young fans "even more" than the sofa. And this was after 98% voted against the sofa.
So looks like we'll either have a refurbished sofa come match day, or something potentially eve more nauseating.0 -

Without doubt the sofa has become the symbol of the enemy sticking a flag in the ground to claim victory and ownership of the territory.LuckyReds said:Katrien laughed when she was asked about a new sofa after the Telegraph conference, she may even have made a comment about needing to try these things just in case they worked...

Wonder what Slade made of the Sofa when he saw it? It's that great big hoarding over it that says "Charlton Athletic Fans Sofa" and draws even more attention to it, it makes it look more WWE than English football.Dippenhall said:

I'm still pretty sure that the sofa is the old sofa missing it's cushions as it was left after the last game and it just hasn't been removed yet.
Could be wrong though.0 -
A club and team they can be proud of would probably be the best answer to that one.Mackle said:@LuckyReds T20 told me that there were discussions about whether or not there was something that the sofa could be replaced that would engage young fans "even more" than the sofa.

Those two steps forward have only come after the catastrophic leap back that was relegation. Anything positive that happens this season is only going to be getting us back to where we should be in the first place. Only after we're back in the championship should we be considering anything as a step forward(bar the Belgians leaving of course). A step in the right direction maybe, but certainly not forward.Alwaysneil said:I see this as two steps forward, appointment of Head Scout and appointment of Slade.

And winning the Champions' League in three years. And before you say that's ridiculous, you started it.Algarveaddick said:

Just want to add my thanks to the lovely Seth for being "Only Man Standing" outside The Valley yesterday.
CARD is clearly etched on his heart along with CAFC.3 -
Splendid freudian mangling of the word rapprochement by the itv bloke at the Valley there. No odds on there being lots more reproach in SE7 before anything like rapprochement is experienced.
Still can't find a lighter side to any of this chapter of Charlton's story.0 -
I have an unbroken run of season tickets since 1971, but so far I have not renewed.eaststandmike said:Said on the TV Seth is a season ticket holder...............bloody judas

That's an awful lot of mediocrity you've subjected yourself to.seth plum said:
