When KM, (RD), says we have to wait and let the team grow, he means, I have bought some young players, put them on long contracts, wait a couple of seasons, at most, to prove themselves and sell them for a profit
It feels like the life is being sucked out of us with enough oxygen being pumped in to keep us going It just doesn't feel right Whatever they're doing its getting on my tits and I don't like the way I feel about my club
I wish I felt differently and wanted to sing from the rooftops about how great things are thanks to Roland but it just feels like the spirit (whatever that is) within the club is draining away
I think narrowing it down to the most simple of forms, you want one (in an ideal world both) of two things from your owner.. The first is heavy investment, for the obvious reasons.. the second is sheer passion/understanding of the fans. Both intertwined can be great, the whole club as a whole works together with it's fans and you push on together and any backwards steps you take, you take together. At the moment we have neither, there is no significent investment, any investment (player wise - the important stuff as a fan) has pretty much been outweighed by some sales, and the passion from our owner and CEO? As fake as as a three pound coin. It's business to them. We are in an unfortunate position as fans of the club at the moment, they want it all from us with us chucking countless amounts of money at season tickets, VG, suites before and after the match - but they don't want to repay us in the only way we want to be repaid, determination and sheer desire to get out of this league the good way.
The sense of apathy coming through loud and clear from some of our most loyal supporters should really be making RD/KM sit up and take notice.
The way we're going I kind of half expect to see a final post on the OS saying 'Charlton Athletic Football Club has been discontinued due to lack of interest'.
I know that this will change eventually, but it's hard to see where the next catalyst for our renewal as a club will come from. I have come to the conclusion that it simply won't happen until RD takes his flawed experiment elsewhere.
Please sell this club, Roland, before we all die of boredom.
No ones is asking them to spend shit loads of money, but at least buy a squad big enough to cope with 3-4 bloody injuries. If we did have some half decent cover for the players that got injured then we wouldn't go on a piss poor losing streak every time a couple of players got injured, and maybe just maybe with a bigger squad we may be able to hang around the top half come January.
Nail on head Nicholas.
Easier said than done if you can't get the players you want.
Which ever way you cut it ... their plan (youth, long term, minimise loss) is not in synch with what the average supporter wants, which is a squad that has the ability to withstand 3 or 4 injuries and not bring in 17 year olds to cover the gaps.
We have again flattered to decieve, with just 3 or 4 more or even 1 or 2 more in the close season we could have potentially weathered the injury situation and not dropped like a stone of a cliff.
That is what is frustrating the fans and all the gimmacy nonsense as well ...
It does feel like some very dull Belgium expreiment, but saying that 4 wins on the spin and we would all be praising it ... all any football fan wants is results...

You can disagree without labelling anyone who disagrees with you.
What's the point in developing the academy and just selling off the cream that emerges.(apart from the obvious instant profit).
The fans just want to see some ambition from the board!
