    One poor sod only got £250. He must have felt hard done by.

    Unless he's the tea lady.
    Tea boy.

    To be fair no-one had said anything about Bonne until the evening before it was announced. Let’s see where we are this time next week.

    The key point to remember @NapaAddick is that the league isn’t won by the teams that spend the most money.

    The Premier League usually is but the Championship most definitely isn’t.

    There’s an adage about working smarter, not harder to produce better results. I think we can loosely apply that to players wages in our recruitment policy.

    And do you know what? I trust Bowyer, Jacko and Gallen to pull it off.

    I do too. It was vital we kept the management  team together, they are the key.

    Love the positivity! Hopefully we will see some new players next week. I think we will need 5 quality Loans in the starting line up.  A few good frees we will be ok.

    Wooaaahhhh we should be keeping Forster-Caskey.

    Also having talks with Dijksteel and Taylor to extend their deals and hoping to keep Aribo.

    Bowyer hoping for 3/4 signings by next Friday, then making that 4/5 soon after. Says “maybe a few loans” as well which will presumably come in later on.

    FYI..... Villa, with parachutes, here was their wage bill last year, by player. Aribo for Villa would have been the 5th LOWEST paid player on their entire team at £20,000/week, tied with some guy named "Gary Gardner." And when you look at the skew, there is not really a big one. 14 of the 18 players made over a mil per year. That is not skewed at all. That is your standard bell-curve. How does CAFC ever compete with this kind of spending? Answer... it can't. PS- look at what Steer makes.


    You realise that's just someone's guess, not official.

    And median IS an average, same as mean and mode.

    Today is all about getting through to Aribo that the quality of the championship will develop him more than a very poor Scottish league. 

    Hopefully Bowyer signing, Glasgow being a dump and Aribo's family being down south will persuade him to stick with the progression path he's on with us.

    Other signings will come next week when training recommences.

    I think Eaves will definitely be signing. Heard the wage is lower then he would have liked but a fairly generous bonus per goal is being negotiated.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy with someone as our manager as I am with Bowyer. I trust everything he says and does.
    Rather like the days also of Lennie Lawrence and The Curbs, I feel that we are in the best possible hands

    He might've only had to come in one day a week.

    The Villa wage bill is ridiculous,yes they got up,but look at some of the figures,Jedinik 40.000,Hutton 30.000,I would not have put either of these in our team last year,Most of those players wont do it in the premier league,thy will have to get more players on 40-50.000 and the bill will go even higher,and then several of the big earners wont get a game I bet the Norwich and Sheffield bills were no where near this.,good management and scouting can easily out do over spending and desperation.I am just living for the day when these so called big clubs start to go tits up,it will come.

    Ditto. I always had huge respect for Powell but Bowyer just seems to talk and act so sensibly which can't be easy under the mad man. Also he obviously knows what he is doing. If he sticks around l can well see him becoming every bit as well liked and respected as Powell.

    Think he was on 1.5-2k tops at gills . So he will get a payrise for sure.

    But not that far fetched given that a lot of them were signed on premier league contracts.

    Another excellent interview. Really impressed (and frankly shocked) by how level headed Bowyer is these days when compared to his playing days. Perhaps Joey Barton needs to buy a fishing lake too!

    I don’t think I’ve ever been more happy with someone as our manager as I am with Bowyer. I trust everything he says and does.
    The return of the prodigal son.
    When Lee Bowyer left Charlton he was a cocksure, supremely talented, immature young footballer who made headlines for all the wrong reasons. At 19 and 46 games he went to Leeds with the words "Charlton are a good little club".  21 years later and a mature 40 year old, he returns to the valley as a coach under Robinson. 

    The one trick pony Karl leaves to further his education at Oxford, while Lee and JJ make the step up. The first home game as Caretaker he looked the part, dapper and smart and the same weight as when he was a player. I just knew the enfant terrible had change into an astute calm man. Within a couple of months he gets Cafc into the playoffs after we were heading towards mid table. His first miracle. This last season Lee has been fantastic, keeping all the players focused while the comedy/drama carries on off the pitch. 
    Wembley was the culmination of all our dreams and nightmares ( Naby and Dillon faux Pas) 

    If Lee Bowyer could get Joe Aribo to stay one more season at least, then it will be the best signing possible. The odds must be against but with Lee Bowyer anything is possible.

    Great to have you home son. 
    Bowyer has been excellent - has kept his head down and for me shown great restraint under RD. We're lucky to have him.

    Very eloquently put.

    If we can get past his agent and get to to agree to it then I will be happy.  Tough sell though...his agent will be seeing pound signs and very little else.  He won't be thinking about what is best for Joe.

    If you're reading this Joe

    "Whilst Rangers will offer to pay you more NOW there are things happening here that will change soon.  If you can give me another year where you are welcomed, loved and learning, you will be playing at a similar (arguably higher) level to Rangers but will be in a bigger shop window too.  If it isn't working out at Charlton then you can go with my blessing - but I am trying to build something and work that around you - so, what do you say" 

    or words to that effect

    Come on Joe...stay with us on this journey

    Ah I’m not saying he won’t but the fact remains other clubs are offering more, and that includes a few teams in the league below.

    Bowyer and his team have the knack of signing players,loan or otherwise,fit into their idea of the Charlton way,same as Curbs,Powell,and Lawrence,these guys are worth more to their clubs than all the fancy dan mercenaries that make a good living out of football while actually achieving very little.
