    Morning team. Apologies for my performance last night. I'd been drinking since 11am, with sadly predictable consequences. If you take out the swearing and aggression I basically stand by what I said. The fact that Wembley was amazing and made you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't mean RD will approach this transfer window any differently to the others. If he is still our owner this season Bowyer will have to work an even bigger miracle than he did this season. Maybe he will and obviously we all hope so. 
    If Bowyer is still here, is there any other club in the world who wouldn't be desperate to get LB & his staff signed up asap ?

    1646, John  Flamsteed the first Astronomer Royal is born. There is a bust of him in The Royal Observatory Museum at Greenwich.
    And a house at Blackheath Bluecoats school (no longer exists) named after him.

    Have have a horrible feeling GM is back in Oz. Either that or he’s up in the middle of the night texting :-(

    Might well have been in the middle of his day. That’s the problem.

    So when he was texting you at what you perceived to be a strange time, did you not reply, "are you back in Oz fella"? Radical I know, but just wondering, that's all!

    I did last time, but didn’t get a reply. Anything business related - nada.

    "Hi there!" 
    "Hi, we haven't spoken in ages.  How are you?" 
    "I am great thanks.  You?" 
    "Yeah, really good.  Where are you?" 
    "I don't answer anything business related.  Good day to you sir!" 
    “But wait, is it the middle of the night there?”

    If us now being in the Championship isn't the impetus for one of the f**king groups to pull their collective fingers out then I don't know what is. 

    I'm with @Off_it on this one. Thumb screws or the rack for LDT at the fans forum this week.

    He could have gone home to pack up his stuff and move to the Uk? #ClutchingAtStraws

    A realistic price for the club.

    This month is the most important in cafc recent history.
    The momentum from the Luton home win till the Wembley victory and the return of the masses to support and give energy to our football team was a wonder to behold.
    If that momentum is allowed to be lost by Bowyer and his team not being offered improved contracts, commensurate with their success on the field then the fall out will be shocking.

    Hell hath no fury like a rich owner scorned.
    I hope the folk on CL who believe it's 100% money with Duchatelet are correct and those like myself who believe it's money and a degree of revenge are wrong.

    If Charlton Athletic are to become a vibrant football club with new younger fans that were at the valley for the semi final and at Wembley, then it's paramount that my fears are unfounded.

    The euphoria is understandable and welcomed.  I just get this itchy feeling in my Charlton supporting bones that the Belgian oxygen thief will leave us wanting resources next year and we will suffer as a consequence...  what a bloody waste!

    There is time yes...........but no sale is going to happen unless RD lowers his asking price.

    Here’s some context on the finances: www.votvonline.com

    If the club isn’t sold a lot may depend on whether Bowyer gets to spend the extra central revenue or Duchatelet tries to break even.

    They were, but when ‘it didn’t happen’ they had to start a new school year in Oz. Couldn’t start a new school year here on the offchance. 
    The Aussies could still buy the club without GM staying on as CEO of course.
