    It didn't take long, it really didn't.
    So disappointing. 
    I think that you need to start looking at the bigger picture. 
    We all know the bigger picture.
    But some of us support the team home & away, whilst some of us turn up occasionally for a big game.
    We all know & want a better owner.
    Have another listen to what Lee Bowyer said about the importance of the fans.
    So when Bowyer and over half of the current squad walk away on 30 June because the idiotic owner fails to offer them adequate contracts and then brings in inferior replacements from football's equivalent of Poundland, you'll feel the same will you?

    Go Roland---spend some well deserved time with Katrien and fill your boots(what an image).
    You don't need all the stress of stopping a resurgent club with a 
    demonstrably big fanbase from prospering.
    Really---go on.Have a good strong Belgian beer and bang her brains out.
    You Wal-looney.
    Bye bye bye bye bye Take care See ya
    Bye   Yeh yeh you too.Bye bye
    See you next Tuesday.


    Have you not considered that maybe he enjoys the stress?

    Prague. I always find your posts intersesting and to the point. Nothing new, but vey depressing in regards to the overall state of affairs. Roland seems prepared to lose money hand over fist if necessary. It's all about his ego. Sadly, i think it's going to take strong measures to force him out of this club.

    For those who think Roland is just going to go away think again. A little anecdote. After the Wembley game, I was having a few drinks in a waterloo pub. Got talking to a few addicks, who, not surprisingly, were over the moon. I explained, that although I was overjoyed, the problem remained the same. Would he fund/support progession for the club as a whole? Almost certainly, NO

    I had boycotted, but couldn't help myself to come back and support the manager, the team and fellow fans. One fan said to me, "you're not part of card are you". I said no I'm not, but I believe that drastic action is the only way to get RD out of the club. This seemed to be met with some confusion.

    Let's be straight. It's unlikely that Duchatalet is going to do anything that has the club's interest at heart. It's all about him and his ego. We must do everything we can to force him out of our club.





    Unfortunately for 90% -95% of fans it's about results.
    Roland will go when he wants and that will be when someone comes close to his asking price.

    But is the asking price increasing as he loses even more money?

    We all love the club. Over the years I have travelled home and away. We know the importance of supporting the manger/players. It's not a matter of turning up for the big games (though you will always get an element of that). Things are fundamentally wrong. Fans loyalty is not being appreciated (By owners). LB has still not got a contract (shameful). Players, and staff are being disrespected. This guy is showing no respect for a great football club. He couldn't even be bothered to turn up for the play off final. He is a rich man playing games. Being blindly loyal to the manager/team is commedable, but it's  not going to make a bigger problem go away. The biggest pitch invasion the valley will ever see is when this
    Belgian fuckwit sellls the club and fucks off. Support the club, by all means, but be aware of the underlying cancer

    We all agree with this & I believe there are very few Charlton fans who are unaware.
    So what's your plan?

    Bowyer should obviously have been signed up, we all know it's ridiculous. So should Aribo & Fosu at the start of last season.

    However, it is a lie to say that half the squad are leaving because the idiotic owner has failed to offer them an adequate contract.

    We have offered contracts to who we want to keep. Please read what Bowyer said.

    The reason for not offering the others contracts, is because Lee Bowyer doesn't want to keep them & I agree with him.

    We shall be looking to get in better players, not inferior players.

    We all know they are likely to be the best players from L1 who are out of contract like Lyle Taylor was.

    We all know it's far from ideal & we all want a better owner than the bonkers Belgian, but please don't tell lies to influence others.

    As long as the management team are in place I’ll see that as a positive, the player situation although not ideal isn’t too much of a surprise, keeping Bauer and Aribo would be amazing, but we were always going to need 2 new strikers and new midfielders with the 2 loaners going back. If Bowyer and Jackson go, that will be unforgivable but I can’t see that happening but then this is Roland we’re talking about. My Dad was telling me that he read an interview with Gallen who said his job at Charlton extended way beyond being Head of Scouting. Maybe they should make him CEO and have a proper football person dictating the direction of the club, sounds like he’s fulfilling some of that role anyway. Palace CEO is an ex pro and the longest serving one at that.

    Less than a week after promotion and already some people are complaining about the bickering.

    The number of released players, demands of the Championship, we'd need something like 10? players, short term last minute.com strategy, the low budget and historical over reliance on loans has to be a concern, let's give each other a break eh. Thankfully/hopefully we will have the force multiplier that its Bowyer at the helm, but even then the situation is far from ideal. Villa paid something like £100m to go up I understand and that was through the playoffs..

    Who’s bickering....we’re discussing a very real reality that simply cannot be ignored, no matter how unpalatable and so soon after the euphoria of Wembley as that may be.....there isn’t much time before the situation could become considerably more problematic, hence the need to discuss things so urgently......I am 100% certain that we all wish it were not the case.....the reality is however very different.

    I was talking about the boycott/don’t boycott bickering.
    Shouldn’t that be on the ‘Boycott/don’t boycott‘ thread? We’ve got a takeover to bicker about here;-)

    This really is the worst time of year to read threads on CL. Everyone speculating about signings  , takeovers and contracts without actually knowing very much at all . People jumping to conclusions, panicking and arguing with each other . All this after one of our greatest days in our history.

    Chill out people!!!

    That’s a really interesting question. 
    I started off with Charlton during the ground sharing years as a kid but because of that (and having never been to The Valley) at that time, I didn’t really appreciate how shit it was and mostly enjoyed it (except for the relegation and irritating player sales) so for me these last 5yrs feel a lot worse but interested to read the views of others/elders....

    Covered End, NLA and Bob Monro could raised the money between them.

    Problem is, they all want to be the Steve Parish figure (Without the hair and Susanna Reid)  ;)

    Ok, I will be the one to say it,
    I would imagine Steve Parish had a lot to do with Palace paying the bulk of Jonny Williams wages on the six month contract.
    Plus Steve Parish is one lucky bastard with some lovely memories !

    Well, that's a no brainer surely. For me the 'Ground-sharing years' although frustrating, were a relatively successful period for the team.

    Purely down to Lee and the boys we have achieved nothing short of a miracle in getting promoted - despite having, arguably, the worst owner in the club's history.  Do you honestly see him changing his attitude now?
