BREAKING NEWS - ROLAND AND BOWYER FAIL TO REACH CONTRACT AGREEMENT
Comments
-
Log on hoping to find something takeover related and I find this thread instead. It makes me sick. Duchatelet is a penny pinching clown and I am still baffled how some people can defend him. We have the only bit of success whist Roland is still owner and he finds a way to give every fan a kick in the teeth less than a month later.1

Remember when Roland first appointed Bowyer as manager it wasn't because he believed that Bowyer would be any good, but because at that time Bowyer was cheap.I suspect that Bowyer's success has become bit of an irritant to Roland. Remember he heaped more praise on the Sheffield United manager at the end of the season than he did on Lee Bowyer.9

Murray didn't sell him the club - he may have sold his soul though.Mendonca In Asdas said:What the hell have we done to deserve this owner, thank you Richard Murray.

Guys, don't forget we're getting Marc Wilmots when Euro 2016 finishes so no big deal really...25

Bowyer offered £200k and Lampard on ten times that at Derby. No brainer Lee, take the job at Derby and well done son.9

Roland has acted like this since Day one Five years ago. Poor young Poyet got slagged off by some fans because he wanted a man's wage and not an academy wage.LenGlover said:I seriously wonder whether Roland is in the early stages of some form of dementia having had the misfortune of witnessing it in my own family.
His behaviour is irrational beyond belief.
Then Yann wanted to stay and only wanted the extra year on his contract plus the extra 2 grand a week considering he was a championship main striker and the fella at Millwall was on even more than Yann wanted. Even then some pointed the finger at Yann.
Roland Duchatelet is very consistent in his dealings.
5 years in getting it wrong.30 -
I agree.The Organiser said:I want Bowyer to stay more than anything. I was devastated after that statement.
However I think I’d lose a smidgen of respect if he goes and talks to him and signs (unless it’s takeover driven) tomorrow.
How could he after that statement??0 -
Well it was on the cards something like this was going to happen. Players and coaches out of contract, the idiot spouting rubbish about selling up and also having a pop at anyone and everyone at every opportunity. The old git even congratulated a club on promotion that wasn’t even in our league just to have another dig at the clubs support. When Bowyer won promotion, against the odds, I had the feeling it was an “oh shit, that’s not what I wanted moment”, for Roly.
Im glad I didn’t buy a season ticket, it’s going to be long and painful torture next season if this prat is still the owner.1 - Sponsored links:

Lyle Taylor transfer request will be handed in before the last meeting tomorrow takes place between the Douchebag and Lee.
I said Lyle would go on strike if Lee walks.
Out of all our sad days of being CAFC fans today is right up there.
Ps. Just seen he's on holiday so when he comes back we will all know 100% if Bowyer has gone and if the revolt Lyle spoke about before will materialize.
Don't blame Lyle waiting as having seen weird things happen he also may think there is some brinkmanship going on.5 -
This is exactly the reaction RD wanted from that 'article'.... complete tosser! How the fuck he has made any money in business is beyond comprehension..... shithouse!!4

Bit more on this.CharltonByBlood said:Friend of mine texted me who has some links from within the club. (Same one I mentioned last week)
Said they had progressed well last week and both were positive but this statement was completely unexpected. LB wasn’t told it was going to be released and found out via text message it was up - (From a friend) LB apparently raging.
LB was offered around 4K a week and wanted more (Rightly so)
Again, mini disclaimer I don’t claim to be “ITK” but friend of mine inside the club and well linked. These are the only snippets I get so I pass on.North Lower Neil said:Such a deluded, small, petty man.
Euell was asked to step in. JJ would be going with Bowyer as he would refuse to even consider it.1 -
Utter disgrace - gutted to lose Bowyer. I'm very upset.
Terrible day for Charlton.2 -
Do you think Roland is a Millwall fan?1

How easy is it to get a full refund on season tickets0

Can we crowdfund 500k to keep LB on a year's retainer

I hope our prospective buyer's immediately take a few million off the table in response. Stupid old fool.2

I would say it's more incredulity mixed with anger, than outright surprise. We all knew this was a possibility, doesn't mean everyone should just shrug their shoulders about it.Off_it said:Seriously, why is anyone surprised at this? Where have you been these past few years?
The club has been a total shit fest for years. And that's all down to one man.
Wembley was great, but that was despite everything, not because of it. 3 weeks later and reality seems to be crashing down aroj d the ears for some. I mean, how many more "final straws" do people need?
Are you boycotting then?

Fundraiser? If RD won't fund LB contract how much could we raise?
Would it even be possible?0 -
Far as I'm currently concerned, we haven't lost Bowyer...yet.
We just need to compose ourselves.
I'm feeling down....like everyone else.
We can still win at this.
It is just about playing the game....but in the right way.
Don't be positive....that will hurt and it will feel like energy wasted.
Just stay calm.4 -

Talk about a club self imploding, Roland is so short sighted, any shred of goodwill gained at Wembley, gone in an instant, he’s bloody dangerous.3

i can't believe the statement, i feel like have been kicked in the guts. Whatever you do Lee and JJ you have my full support, admiration, and thanks.1

5Live just put Bowyer in the frame for the Derby job as ‘by all accounts he left Charlton this morning’.
He hasn’t though.1 -

If true, I suspect something will be done. Bowyer to sign a slightly improved deal, to be the bigger man, fans behind him even more, and a foot in the door when new owners come on board. Lee's agent I would hope will mainly focus on negotiating a suitable break clause, e.g. allowing Bowyer to leave if an alternative offer comes in, club not sold, etc. Pushing for a market rate salary with the current owner is a non starter. Buying time until there's a new owner / offer elsewhere does seem achievable.Bedsaddick said:
