Just got a text from my gay mate Cuthbert. He comes from Brighton. He said that while travelling on a train today some strange bloke who claimed to be a Charlton supporter was coming onto him really heavy. He asked me if I know who this person was as he would really like to meat (Sorry meet) up for a chat. Honestly I'm speechless.
If Duchatelet cocks up this sale to Dalman due to the £7m directors loans then he only has himself to blame and would deserve to lose another £8m this year. It's unbelievable that this director loans saga has been allowed to drift for so many years. How on earth did RD become a billionaire?
I don't remember much outrage when the were rolled over the last 2 times. Why didn't Murray clear them before he sold us to the spivs and we won't be in the mess we are in now...........
It's RD's fault he didn't know about them, not his fault that they are there. I would go as far as he has no moral responsibility to clear them. That however is very diffrent to paying them off to allow the sale to go through.

I know it's been said an million times before, but what an absolute shambles. The job Bowyer has done... for the single season performance he's just had - well... it's got to be up there with anything Seed, Lawrence, Curbs, or Powell ever achieved... the best managers this club has ever know.
Winning promotion on a shoe string.
Playing good quality football the likes of which we didn't really see even under Powell and only a few times under Curbs
Turning supporter apathy in August into one of the largest, noisiest, most united turnouts ever by our supporters at Wembley 9 months later.
I mean, I honestly don't know what more he could have done. Yet here we are, at the 11th hour, and things are merely "beginning to move in the right direction". And it's not even as if it appears a difficult deal to do - Bowyer really, truly wants to stay FFS!

Coincidence or what?
Is the correct term not, in matters of romance, fate?
Can I just state my utter loathing for that Belgian dental car crash at this point? It will obviously serve no other purpose than a catharsis of my soul in these times of frustration and gnawing ball ache.

It beggars belief, it really does.
Don’t be silly, can’t put in the sand breathe as some of those.
We didn’t pay a fee for anyone but let’s be honest we still had a very good squad for the third tier. Don’t get me wrong, he done an outstanding job but all we did was win promotion from the third tier. Of course we need to keep him but I think his achievements are slightly exaggerated, mostly because of the shit over the last few years.

Rich Cawley is an extremely well respected, well connected, responsible local journalist, any suggestion that he has a history of incorrectly reporting is nonsense, sometimes he doesnt say what we want to hear but netherless I trust his judgement and regularly listen to what he has to say.
It genuinely staggers me that some fans can't see how big the job Lee Bowyer has done in the last 15-16 months or so whatever it is. It really reminds me of the late 80's when Lennie Lawrence would defy the odds every year.
Maybe you had to be sitting on the coach at 2am on the way back from Blackpool away two seasons ago having lost 0-1 season all but over with 3 months of the season to play. Maybe you had to see those lows first hand amongst many others we saw during our 3 year stint in League One to appreciate the work Bowyer has done in the last 15-16 months but i'm not even sure I can put into words what Bowyer has done for us. We owe Bowyer big time for last season. I'd love someone like grapevine to put into words just what Bowyer has done for the club.

In fairness I think 99% of supporters do. The other 1% are wrong.
I say that as someone who was highly sceptical that Bowyer would be any good when he was first appointed.

They’re going to commit each other’s murders.
Enjoy.
Don't believe what strangers tell you on a train.
And nearly 3 weeks after the Wembley win,
Lee Bowyer *might* be making progress.

Does the universe implode?
