I suspect the problem is that the wages Maddison is asking for will tear asunder the whole salary structure  .. i.e. all the players will be asking for a big increase

Gallagher going .. MAJOR loss, he has been our real 'star' this season and no-one else on the books at present comes close to matching him in ability, aggression and commitment .. I wrote months ago that I though he would be off before the season's end .. we'll see him soon  in Chelsea blue or the colours of a top promotion contender. 

Ebbsfleet by 2023, I'm telling you.

With his contract ending in 6 months, Maddison knows he will get a hefty signing on fee etc if he waits until the end of the season.....

Southall keeps talking about his concept etc but the concept needed for the next 4 months is to stay in this division. Don't think i could handle going back down.

I am not enjoying reading some of the totally unnecessary piss taking and disrespect going on here towards MS.......this is someone we (as a fan base), are trying to make a decent and long term friendly relationship with!
This forum is sadly still shot through with distrust and cynicism from the Duchatalet era, which is leading to stupid piss taking about no socks, choice of wallpaper, office looking like a porno set and what is probably a perfectly normal and acceptable table setting in their country......and yet here we are taking the piss.
Sorry to say, but some of you need a good kick up the arse!

Months? Haha 

Crazy ain’t it. Not even owned the club for 2 weeks.

Even with being in the driving seat for a period of time before the official announcement, there was always only ever so much they could do.

Not even 2 weeks people, keep calm. 

Yeah fair play, a over reaction by me for sure... but we are 2 weeks in and still negotiating with bowyer which apparently is a stumbling block on new signings.

Pulled out of Maddison deal

Fake account on Twitter
Some people are so very odd 

Southall built a rod for his own back by his twitter posts to begin with.

In the good old days you did not know who the Chairman was.

Or care

And they were usually lining their pockets at the expense of the supporter's hopes and ambitions.

Gallen has the authority to sign off deals. It's his job, he is here.

Six to seven hours depending on which way the wind is blowing 😉.

Gallen will have authority to sign on the dotted line on behalf of the Club, within the acceptable limits given to him.

We dont need to know every detail from behind the scenes, just that progress is actually happening.... theres a huge difference.

So we know of contacts for Taylor and Bowyer declined or not signed yet and a contract for Maddison not agreed. Is this because the contracts are not good enough or the people involved are greedy or maybe a bit of both. Too early to judge but a few more and a pattern could be emerging that might be a big problem. Would be nice to see some go the right way to even things up.

Tahnoon is at the same event/interview, his latest Instagram photo from an hour ago has him sitting at the same desk

Very poor from ESI, Donald Trump uses Twitter to tell us he is going to bomb the granny out of a country and start WW3 yet ESI cant tell us when we are in for a player. 

Sort it out

I get Gallen will have the authority but I can't see any signings without Matt in the country he seems very hands on

Why is the monitor facing away from the desk chair?

Edit: that's not a suggestion for a porno in case anyone was unimpressed. 

So we can see the Charlton badge on the screen lol

5 hours if I'm on the plane.

I'm sure he can sanction by phone.

We are either gonna look back one day and laugh that we ever worried, or we are gonna look back to stuff like this and feel sick to our stomachs, there is no in-between.

After his recent activity I am firmly in the glass half full camp and keeping the faith.

I love how active and engaging he is with us

Suit and trainers = train wa***r

Me and the Gaffer need a meet up at TK Maxx to sort out some decent clobber, that’s a shocking set up. 

Those trainers are about £400 lol

Again its not about just sanctioning it, as I said Matt seems very hands on and the sort of person who wants to deal with things personally.


I just don't expect anything done whilst he is out the country

Him tweeting that he is over in the middle east for talks with our majority shareholder is his way of showing us that there is stuff going on behind the scenes in my opinion and that he's not sitting around twiddling his thumbs.
