Do you think, on reflection that slater and Jiminez ran the club badly? Or is that a stupid question but also one people probably don't know much about. They ran the club less badly from a fans perspective, I'd say, is the short answer.
In hindsight...seeing what has happened to us now, would they still have sold the club to RD? Sounds like I'm being too kind and the answer is of course they would have, they don't care and are businessman with no evident emotional connection to charlton they needed the money and to get out.
Still, perhaps, maybe not though. Depends what they were told. Or large part of this is there fault!
Katrien talking in terms of "Revenue"' The 1/3 of ticket sales that's not very important or needed according to her.
We must have generated more revenue under previous owners, surely? A mixed bag no doubt, but overall?...

As we were only 4 points short of a play-off spot that first season back even when the money vanished.
In others, and particularly at the end, they were worse.
None of which defends what the current owner is doing.
Remember standing there at the Hartlepool game in a packed stadium with the league trophy presentation thinking that the club was on the up again and in its best position for years. Went on holiday that summer and logged on here the day I came back to see it in meltdown with all the insinuations that the plug had been pulled and we were skint and my hope of a progressive few seasons faded quicker than my tan.
F***ing Charlton ha ha.
All the other tedious rumour milling and theorising on here didn't really interest me
They could not possibly be as bad as this mob.
Have no ideal why Kevin Cash cut the money off. Can anybody tell me why?
Next question ?
It is a tough to pick the lesser of two evils. I guess I would rather have RD as least he has seems partially willing to spend some money and would pray that he would come to his senses and find the correct person to come in and run the football operations.
Their relationship with the manager was a lot more simple and football minded in general. What most clubs expect.
Same with the fans. Communication is not always necessary when no extremely weird stupid decisions have been made.
The pitch was an absolute joke in the end they couldn't afford to sort that out...but then again they didn't bother with gimmick bulshit, as even as most likely poor businessmen that left the club in a vulnerable state, they were relatively normal compared to this lot.
RDs human centipede like experiment where eventually these academy players won't even have names. They will be cloned and sold off in shop windows
The current regime is losing fans by the week. The previous regime was perhaps very very slowly eroding people away...but we had a manager that cared and done the best with what he had.
I would also go further to say that if RD is loading the club with debt then this is potentially as damaging as anything TJ and MS did in the long term.
Desperate is desperate but they were desperate for a reason, THEY screwed up.
Although perhaps fed bullshit and they are not even charlton fans etc and murrary was involved, they didn't asses it properly and put themselves in a situation where they had to sell to any old f*cking c*nt.
Thanks chaps.
