Exactly what other gossip ? All I’ve seem to have heard is that it’s not RD but the Aussies getting further funding in place.Henry Irving said:
Fits with some other gossip.DA9 said:If what I’ve heard by someone I trust implicitly is true, then it’s not the Aussies holding it up
Duchatelet constantly looking for someone to pay more than club is worth rather than take the various offers made.
Can’t believe I’ve missed anything.

The guy is so deluded. If there was any justice he would get half of what he paid for us.13

My comment and it’s precious 4 LOLs were deleted ... understand there are some sensitivities at the moment but it was only a kind hearted jape. Did you really have to rip those LOLs away from me. If you have any pity for me you’d find some way to give them back...bristoladdick said:

There’s something going on in the background that I can’t talk about here, but which will hopefully get resolved over the next couple of weeks.
(And I’m not talking about the takeover here unfortunately).
I apologise if I’ve appeared over sensitive, and if I’ve perhaps inadvertently attacked (or defended myself over robustly) against the wrong targets. It’s easy to mistake fair comment for something else in my current position.
Apologies to @Redskin in particular on that front.
In addition, I’ll try not to take attacks on the Aussies so personally, which I hadn’t even realised I was doing.
In the meantime, let’s hope we can unite behind our desire to remove this strange owner from your/our club, and get behind the new owner, or owners, whoever they may be, or wherever they come from.

Surely this breakfast issue deserves its own thread. This one is difficult enough to follow as it is.7

Agreed, but where is the backbone of the club? Let's piss over the ones on minimum wage!? Sorry not good enough Charlton. This needs noise people.RedChaser said:

I imagine a lot of them are from far from wealthy backgrounds and having breakfast sorted helps them out from both a financial and nutritional perspective.Sid James Fan Club said:

The sort of measure a struggling non league club would be embarrassed to implement through necessity.

Surely he can put out some cornflakes and make an urn of tea as well, perhaps squeeze a few lidl oranges. Maybe Valley Gold money could be used to get supplies.

The League One planet. As reported last week, RD is planning to reduce costs to the level of other L1 clubs by all means, including player sales, staff cuts and expenditure cuts. I would say we are 3 years away from being Leyton Orient.Sid James Fan Club said:Apparently Charlton can no longer afford breakfast for all the development squads before training. Seriuously?

If a young player breaks into the first team, he doesn't get appearance money, but he gets a free breakfast.4

Wow.... so you think penalising those with the least is the answer - again think before posting - if 'all ' then fair enough but it's not all. It's a professional football club not a Sunday sportsman league. These kids have just signed scholarships not 10k week contracts.NapaAddick said:
