Harriott is being used to raise money so I understand.
What 50 quid
That's at least more than we got for Morrison
Keep a player who asked to go out on loan to get game play .. he was 4th choice, Tal Ben H and Bikey were superb and let's not forget the long unbeaten run at the start of any season , he played one game against Birmingham in that run and guess who made the mistake for there goal to make it 1-1 ..... An average centre half no near as good as Bauer or Jorge T or at the time TBH, Bikey or Gomaz
Colin, I've stuck up for you recently but comments like that do not do yourself any favours.
I make Colin right on all counts! TBH was for half a season one of the best CBs we've ever had, Bikey scared strikers into letting him take the ball with ease and Bauer was class until his injury. Tex was very solid but probably on a par with Morro. The only issue was we let him go on a free. Would have been nice to keep him as cover but he wanted to play and you can't blame him for that
He is famous for currently being the manager of the best team in the shithole that is Nottingham, and is also very well know for hating sheep and Derby.
Jokingly I did respond to Tracey Leaburn's tweet by suggesting that she was dropping of Nicky Ajose, a comment she has since "liked"
I've a new fwend!!
She has "liked" EVERY reply to her tweet... She also included the hashtag: "positive" I think maybe the club staff are under orders to be super nice now? and it is obviously working (on you)

And over night bikey became a liability and at that point morro had gone
A question.....who out of bikey, tbh, tex and Bauer plays at the highest domestic level?

Sure you do, I'm sorry. I'm certain you'll be going around to Tracey and Carl's for tea in no time. (he'll not be able to finish his)

Hindsight is a wonderful thing
It is but a lot of us on here said it was a bad decision at the time. And we didn't know it was a free transfer then.
But we bought Nabby Sarr to replace him for 1.4m euros so it's OK.
What Morrison shows is the total lack of any long term planning and Roland's obsession with head count.
We'd give Morro a new long term deal in the summer, got rid because Peeters didn't rate him, sacked Peeters and gave away Morrison in around 8 months.
The next summer we lost/got rid of TBH, Bikey and Gomez, loaned out Lennon and had to play Diarra at CH as Sarr was so poor.
Meanwhile Morrison continued to be the solid, reliable, suited to Championship football player that he'd always been. But that doesn't come up on the Belgium scouts lap top and Roland wasn't going to pay big wages for a player who wasn't in the first team so he had to be moved on. Reserves? What are? Injuries? We have some kids don't we.
1/2 time score ... CAFC 0 .. Old Knackered Truck Tyres 3
Now that is funny.
many thanks me old mucker ((:>) .. alas, it's not an original .. the original (way back in the 70s) was along the lines of .. 'how did it go when you used the dustbins to dribble round in practice' .. answer: 'all right but it ended up with the dustbins winning 6-0' ..
Perhaps having a decent midfield at Birmingham has helped Morrison improve.
Quite possible or was it the good manager who had who recognised his abilities and utilised them.
A young manager, former Charlton player and captain, who was managing at a club, at that time, in a lower division in England when Birmingham took him on.
And he wasn't our 4th choice centre back. He was ahead of Gomez at the time who was seen as the back up right back.
Also, at the time Morrison was loaned to Birmingham, Gomez was injured and hadn't played for a month since the win at Norwich. He didn't feature in the match day squad for a couple of weeks after Morrison left.
They released him (to clear his wages) and signed Oguchi Onyewu as a cheap replacement.

Thanks, I'd forgotten Onyewu. Which Championship side is he captaining now?

a big old lump and unlike Morrison VERY good in the air .. alas, also unlike Morrison, he was as mobile as the Statue of Liberty
The League One financial rules for newly relegated clubs are that player wages can't exceed 75% of turnover. Turnover includes any money put in by the owner as long as it isn't in the form of loans.
Therefore, if an owner wants to buy promotion by keeping or signing high earning players he can do so whereas he couldn't under FFP rules in The Championship.
So equity and fake sponsorship are OK but loans aren't?
Could be a way of us clearing the other debt? If Roland is serious of keeping CAFC, he could put a LOAD of money in which the club can use to pay off the old debts. Could potentially make an offer as if we were in administration to some of the older investors by offering 60% to see if they take it. This would clear the club of debt which could hold it back if we get promoted. He can spend a load on players that will get us into the premier league the season after next, and all this without falling foul of FFP.
We are awaiting the "great Ajose". He had better be mustard. I expect at least half a dozen good performances from him before 1) we Charltonise him 2) our medical team fuck him up 3) the Belgians demoralize him... or all three!
I do find the glorification of Morrison a bit unique, to be honest. Agreed it was short-sighted of the club to ship him out without (apparently even thinking of) getting in a decent replacement, but he was an incredibly limited player...

Yet he holds down a place in a top half of the championship team. How can that be if he is "incredibly limited"?
Do you think he would be a good playing for us in league 1?
Do you think he would have been a useful player for us last season?
I won't even bother asking if you think he was better than Sarr who we paid a large fee for after giving Morrison away

They have a son who must be a young teenager now. On Chelsea's books and apparently very decent

No, not hindsight, lack of any foresight
They finished 10th, with 63 points from their 46.
I would suggest he improved them.
