Fleetwood didn’t want to sell as they had no replacement, nothing to do with the player turning us down. Could the anti Bowyer brigade read what’s been reported before blaming it on Bowyer,
Sounds like something we should have done with Williams no?
Let's be honest TS aim of Europe in 8 years is not going to start by signing a L1 journeyman. Would have hoped to have a bit more ambition this window. Its a shit league, we've signed Ronnie who I can't help but feel was signed due to the Danish connection and some more loanees. So no matter what another rebuild is needed in the summer.
Keep hearing the cap is killing us, but the cynic in me says maybe we don't have as much money as we thought.
One thing that has happened, TS has backed this club to the hills and sorted alot of the background issues and sorted the foundations going forward.
The cap is the cap, we could have funds like man City but are still governed by the cap unfortunately.
Exactly this with regards to TS...also I do want Bows here with us going forward too,but i can’t help think that some of these players we could potentially miss out on,may actually not want to play for him,seeing as he throws them under bus for a stray pass or a miss of the goal...hope it’s not the later but what do we know...??
next season for me is when we go up,this is still a big work in progress from the shite management we have endured for the past how many years...”we will come good”...👍
So what we got by way of wingers waiting in the development squad for a shot at the big time? Quitirna Junior? Or do we think his name sounds too much like Quiter for Bows to take the risk?

He's a central attacking midfielder foremost I think EDIT not sure about this, he has got a good cross. Hmm.

Yes. But Williams isn’t a regular starter. He’s not been getting much game time and has the Euros next year. Maybe he wanted to leave. Maybe Bowyer has fulfilled an agreement that if a Championship club came in for him he could go. None of us know. Maybe Smith is his replacement.
Sage, as someone who wanted Maddison at Cafc years ago your insider information wasn't needed on this occasions.
It was so patently obvious that MM and Bowyer wasn't going to work within a couple of weeks.; at 27 a very useful lower division player had lost his way totally.
Marcus Maddison was going to either be a great signing or a complete disaster. I was hoping for the former.
Sadly it was the latter.
Needed or not, I shared it because people were getting the wrong end of the stick. Obviously, it wasn’t exactly needed in the end because Cawley tweeted all about it afterwards. The point of the forum is to share information and opinions, be it whole or not, that’s what I done.
Thanks for sharing and I take your point that some didn't realize how Maddison just wasn't being professional.

It is rather silly to let players go before you have replacements sorted.

Unless you buy someone like Randall who wouldn’t fall into the cap at all.
Which is why we should have pushed the boat out & paid the fee. There is a premium on players that are under the cap.

Kirk? ❌
Solomon-Otabor? ❌
Graham? ❌
Morris? ❌
Anyone else?
Only one of those players actually turned Charlton down though (Solomon-Otabor)

I was hoping we'd show at least a little intent here. Instead it feels like we've played it very safe.
Geez hope we are not right lol.

Probably gives us a bit of breathing room to try and ensure some can still be here next year if they want to be
I reckon we'll get either Graham or Randall.

I do worry what will happen if Millar gets injured.
