Maddison didn't want to play and probably wasn't going to play again.J BLOCK said:If we don’t get AT LEAST players on a par with Maddison and Williams then we’ve massively fucked this - right now I’m not at all happy
Williams struggles to play 60 mins.
We've already signed Stockley, Millar, Schwartz and Smith.
I'm certain we're already better off.2 -

Probably gives us a bit of breathing room to try and ensure some can still be here next year if they want to be0 -
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.SELR_addicks said:
Sounds like something we should have done with Williams no?sirjohnhumphrey said: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,11 -
I reckon with Williams and Maddison both off the payroll, we now have extra cash to splash.
I reckon we'll get either Graham or Randall.0 -

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.soapboxsam said: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.
Thanks for sharing and I take your point that some didn't realize how Maddison just wasn't being professional.0 -

Going to regret this comment but notice Rich Cawley hasnt thrown the towel in yet with any posts saying thats our night done3

Yeah let's just meet Randall's valuation. Let's be honest no one wants plan Z through the door at 22:59!Lazy_eye_metaphor said:I reckon with Williams and Maddison both off the payroll, we now have extra cash to splash.

Which is why we should have pushed the boat out & paid the fee. There is a premium on players that are under the cap.LargeAddick said:
Unless you buy someone like Randall who wouldn’t fall into the cap at all.EricBanterna said:
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.BigRedEvil said: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.
The cap is the cap, we could have funds like man City but are still governed by the cap unfortunately.8 -
Sorry to say, business is done for us. Get an early night and go to bed.2

Just waiting for Cawley to say we’re done for the night before the meltdown properly commences.14

This.cafc_se7 said:Some of you lot ought to read your own comments....sound like a bunch of 12 year olds! Embarrassing!1 -
I think it's very clear we want a winger, and not to get one is a bit of a failing.
I do worry what will happen if Millar gets injured.8 -
Don't lie... This was the discussion... The voices in my head say this is accurate for all those we approached today...sirjohnhumphrey said:Fleetwood didn’t want to sell as they had no replacement, nothing to do with the player turning us down.

Club to Player - "Are you happy here because Charlton have made an offer for you"
Player - "I mean sure I am happy is Bowyer still there?"
Club - "Yes, looks like he's made space for you"
Player - "Erm I've heard how he talks about his creative players"
Club - "So that's a no?"
Player - "I didn't say that, unless you don't want me here?"
Club - "It's a no then, Huzzah, we'll tell them to piss orf, the fee was insulting anyway"

Maybe TS has asked Bows realistically who is going to get a game and who isn't. If they don't figure in his plans, get rid now and save money. TS is a businessman not a charity owner. He wants to balance the books in the same way Roly did. It's not just the salary cap, that's guff. TS wants to achieve success in the way the Lincoln owner has. On the cheap. It can be done without huge spends, but maybe not with Bowyer or the players we have. I want Bowyer here long term, but his tactics with the players of the last 18 months doesn't achieve enough success. If Bowyer is staying, the players aren't!1

I think my last paragraph gives you some idea. In an ideal word I wouldn't be slagging players off in the media if I was Bowyer. Replace Bowyer ? Well there are better qualified people available who will make that decision as & when but why ask me when I haven't suggested such ?cafc_se7 said:
So what are you getting at? In an ideal world what would you do? And let’s be frank who would you bring in to replace Bow?charltonbob said:
Or to look at an alternativeForeverAddickted said:Got a feeling this is just the beginning for a large part of the squad
Maddison especially going to Bolton will be a big message to the players that remain
Perform and represent the club to the standards we expect or we'll shed no tears about getting rid of you in the summer
Outgoings /possible outgoings in the window:
Bogle Nowhere near good enough but has suffered from Bowyers put downs in the media when Bowyer must have known what he was getting when he signed him.
Smyth Recalled by QPR
Doughty Refused a new contract
Maddison Criticised by Bowyer in the media the worst being "I don't care if he's seriously injured"
Williams Criticised by Bowyer in the media (praised as well at times) Rarely picked even when we're crying out for creativity & even as a sub when he's played well straight back on the bench next game. Wants to go to Cardiff
Last year
M.Bonne Brought from Non league, leading scorer for us in Championship but still criticised by Bowyer in the media.
Maybe some players aren't playing for him & can't wait to get out, possibly his man management skills leave a lot to be desired. Criticise players when needed but do it behind closed doors not on sky sports /newspapers.0 -
A replacement for a player that spends a hell of a lot of time on the bench?se9addick said:

I share the respect for Williams on and off the pitch but I can’t see that him leaving is a devastating blow. Is Smith a potential replacement?5 -
The thing that pains me about losing Jonny is the influence he undoubtedly had in the dressing room. He is obviously a very likeable guy and very popular amongst the players! You do wonder what this may do to morale in the camp! Nothing to do with assists, goals etc1

Right come on Cawley, can I go to bed for the night or do I have to endure more of ‘we were nearly there’?
for what it’s worth I still believe we’re in a better place as a cohesive squad now than at the start of January.5
