I can only presume you didn't go to watch Charlton last night.orpingtonRED said:
Sorry was using Lincoln as an example that overhauled their squad well.cs1986 said:
I am not sure what you mean here. I love the Defence and Keeper - maybe another left back. The midfield is not great. We also desperately need wingers and a goal scorer.orpingtonRED said:
We payed our players a lot more than Lincoln last season and they done well.cs1986 said:
It is a term to state how much investment we need in this squad of players. I dont think for a second we should be paying lads 10k a week in this league or spending fortunes but we need significant investment in the playing squad. We aren't close to having a competitive squad so it's significant.orpingtonRED said:
Significant investment is a phrase I'm not comfortable with. It seems to be an excuse to pressure owners to spend to keep up with others.cs1986 said:
We aint getting anywhere near the Championship without significant investment.orpingtonRED said:
To play devil's advocateDave Rudd said:It's painfully clear that the current squad is nowhere good enough to challenge for promotion ... either automatic or via the play-offs.
Yes, we have some time to improve the squad, but we've left ourselves a lot to do.
Even with what we have, we look like a hoofball team aiming for Stockley's head.
OK, so that's Plan A. There is no apparent Plan B.
Is the honeymoon over for Sandgaard? Yes, he has saved the Club. But he has shot himself in the foot with the fine words about reaching the Premier League in five years.
If we believe what we read, we also committed to a £500k per year rental agreement with Duchatelet for the next 15 years. Nice. And someone else with have to deal with the consequences when that agreement comes to an end.
No significant investment in what was going to be a Summer of Love where we built a squad to "blow it out of this division."
Sandgaard seems to be a nice guy, with honourable intent. But I sense that the cost of his dreams is now dawning upon him ... and he's coming up short.
Football is not a place to make money, Thomas. In fact, the opposite.
If you want into this, you have to do better.
Ipswich are throwing money about and bought a lot but not winning either
Lincoln proved last season that you can compete in this league without spending too much. Tom may be saving his money for until we get to the Championship. Then he spunkz it all and gambles.
That's the feeling I get from the guy.
Our academy's best prospects have been taken year on year and we are left with the lesser prospects. Our professional squad lacks any stand out players.
We have signed 2 league 1 cast offs in midfield who may improve. Stockley is a good signing but needs to play in a 2. He doesn't score enough to play up top on his own.
Our 20/21/22 year old players aren't good enough.
We chose to pay big wages for Watson Gunter Matthews and countless others.
I'd rather us try our youngsters than pay these wallies money.
I'm in a minority I know mate.
Elewere was decent.
Roddy, Ghandour and Clayden looked no where near good enough.2 -

I trust @ButtleJR & @Covered_End_Lad on most of their Charlton content, however I do believe he can speak in a similar way to that post. I doubt he'd be calling journo's stupid etc though.
This was during the club purchase saga.

Good on you TS.Callumcafc said:Just got a message from TS on LinkedIn:
”Please tell all the moaners and bedwetters on CharltonLife to calm down. It’s my club and I’ll do what I want. Up the Addicks!”
I said I would pass it on.
Red Red Robin was first,
Next, it’s on to changing our home shirts from red to Millwall blue or Surrey stripes.

Fast forward a month and we will all be hailing Gallen and TS for holding their nerve and pulling off some great signings, at great prices - or we will be back to 'he's got no money, we'd be better off with... etc etc' . Noises definitely started coming out about a lack of funds a few months back but i reckon that was to try and reverse some of the division blowing money image that may have been built up so better value could be achieved. However, we will only know once we know, everything else is a guess.9

I'm sure we can "compete with Shrews", but it is irrelevant if we are not interested in him, we know we are short in the recruitment of players, but we aren't gonna go after someone who becomes available just because they are available,.. trust in Steve & Co to get it right...sooner the better.SouthLondonisRed said:
Surely we can compete with Shrews.! 🤔Redrobo said:

Several scenarios could play out really, even if we have money to spend. I'm assuming we'll get some loan players plusDOUCHER said:Fast forward a month and we will all be hailing Gallen and TS for holding their nerve and pulling off some great signings, at great prices - or we will be back to 'he's got no money, we'd be better off with... etc etc' .

However, we will only know once we know, everything else is a guess.
a) we spend money and sign 2 or 3 excellent players
b) we have cash but miss our targets and instead spend significant money in desperation on mediocre players
c) we have cash but miss our targets and instead end up making a couple of cheap signings (of the Josh Parker ilk)
d) we have cash but miss our targets and instead end up giving free agents a go
or combinations of the above.

Couple of things - the supposed TS LinkedIn message was posted elsewhere but not by who we are all assuming!
Secondly TS hasn't stopped talking to fans on LinkedIn, I can vouch for that, and before anyone assumes differently I've been in contact with TS for just over 12 months, and 'No' I've not been talking to him about transfers or anything on the playing side.0
