I'm sticking with my 'Bowyer being given the job' line, which of course could easily be wrong. But he's the one who left him out of the playoffs, which must have been a real blow to Marshall's pride. I doubt LB would have the sway to put MM on the transfer list if he wasn't going to be the manager next season.
Not convinced Murray would have the authority to get rid of a player in the absence of a manager. What if the an incoming manager rates Marshall?
No, my money's on Bowyer already having the job.
LB will be have a carp if he isn't offered the position.
I have just spoken to Lee about the job and suggested that he seize the day. Well my exact words were carpe diem.

What ever is going on can not see Murray having the final say on this.
This has come from new owners and the manager that will lead Charlton into 2018/2019 season. Now that could be Bowyer or not,i have afeeling that anew manager will come along with Bowyer playing another role with Charlton.
You need a man that understands english football and has had years of experience plying his trade. Think Muir has picked his man and what is going on now are dealings which the new manager has agreed to.
Wasn't Marshall Bradford's player of the season the previous year when Bradford got to the play off final? It is quite possible he would be in a new manager's plans and strange that this decision would be made without any consultation. Unless there is something we don't know!
Could be that Marshall doesn’t fancy hanging around to see whether he’ll be in the new manager’s plans, and has asked the club to let him go if an offer comes in.
That’s possible. Apparently he was seen looking pretty angry when left out of the playoffs.
To be honest I thought he deserved to play in the playoffs after Blackburn so I would be pissed off if I were him. Thought Bowyer changed it up too much last game against Shrewsbury IMHO. A couple of those loanees didn't give a toss
He brought him on, late in the second half for the last league game at Rochdale.
I thought he looked in excellent form for his cameo role there and looked by far and away our most dangerous player.
His omission from the play off games, appears to be a bit of a mystery. Bradford didn't seem to mind losing him from their successful side from the previous seaso, so I can only assume it was for non footballing reasons. Perhaps Bowyer's decision was similarly based?

I believe Bowyer has said he'll be leaving if he isn't given the manager's job. They were lining up interviews for before Muir went back to Oz, so you're probably right that he has picked his man. I think it's Bowyer, but could easily be wrong.
The 15 bids ACT: Canberra New South Wales: South-West Sydney (Liverpool), Southern Expansion (Sutherland-St George Illawarra), Wollongong Wolves, Macarthur (Campbelltown) Queensland: Brisbane City, Gold Coast United, Western Pride/Ipswich South Australia: West Adelaide Tasmania: State-wide Victoria: Team 11 (South-East Melbourne), South Melbourne, Western Melbourne, Belgravia Leisure Western Australia: Fremantle City
Because Gold Coast Utd was such a success last time? This despite a big population of Europeans. They struggled to get any sort of crowds in. Same will apply to Brisbane City. Roar don’t command a regular good crowd. The only recent success has been The Wanderer’s and I suspect that is very much a one off.
Still in Las Vegas, got the day off, over 100 degrees. I know guys, it’s tough out here. Today was my day on James’s list, but I can wait until next Monday, that’s my birthday.
I’m in Vegas tomorrow, you can buy me a <<crap>> beer
What time do you arrive? I leave for the airport at 1pm.
I brought my bright red CAFC jacket to wear whilst celebrating if the takeover had been announced when I was here. So if we meet you’ll be able to pick me out from a crowd.
I don't have any knowledge of the takeover at all or know anyone ITK.....but I reckon it will be announced before the WC starts & Bowyer will be the manager.

So 97 posts of absolutely nothing, it’s amazing how we can speculate on knowing absolutely nothing, congratulations all round, looking forward to the next 97 on nothing;(
Maybe someone had asked about Marshall before the playoffs and he asked for permission to talk to them. If this happened at the end of the season but before playoffs it would have pissed Bows off and explain why he is allowed to go.

Perhaps for family reasons, he needs to go back up North.
It won't be Brighton of course, but possibly Portsmouth?

It's not being driven by Marshall.
Is it Bowyer driven?
Unknown.
Dreisen been playing the new Football Manager in-between his frequent visits to xhamster?
It's 2.1K comments since I opened this thread last and there doesn't seem to be any update on the mini thread so am I correct in assuming that there is actually no news about an imminent takeover?

Actually I know for a fact that Bradford did not want him to go but he was very keen to come to us.

No, you're not correct. In between some of the slightly off-topic posts, there are some really interesting updates about the new owners, who the manager will be, the amount of money available for signings this summer, the new kit, the new sponsors, plans for the stadium and naming rights for some of the stands.

It's all there.
Happy catching up.
...and after each uneventful day that passes we are getting closer to the actual takeover...exciting huh!
Abramovich would not pass the fit and proper test.
Genuine question - on what grounds? Insufficient funds? Criminal record?
Genuine answer Peter.
Abramovich was a salesman of Russian dolls at 25 and potless and 8 years later was one of the richest men in the world because of knowing someone in the KGB and getting an interest free loan to buy a Russian state company for a 50th of its price when that well know drunk Boris Yeltsin did a closing down mega sale of state companies to chosen Russian families and the KGB (Putin and cronies)
Unpopular opinion - Konsa isn’t as good as everyone makes out
Most Charlton fans I talk to about Konsa were gobsmacked when Everton were said to be interested. He still looks so shaky at times in what ever position he plays. Could it be we were a stable in form with Gomez and Lookman and Konsa is suffering in comparison when he should just be a young player trying to get into Charlton's team.
