Your right he never thanked meAddick Addict said:MrWalker said:No mention of Chris Powell in that letter.
I wonder if he left on bad terms?
More to the point he hasn't had the good grace to thank Roland, Matt or Paul for all they did for him either
The B*****d
Hope Cardiff get relegated now 🤣🤣
In all seriousness, class statement and love the fact he says he now transitions from a player to a fan5 -
Classy leaving statement from Dills. Have already wished him all the best and can now add my total respect.0

Very classy.killerandflash said:Classy leaving letter and interview. A combination of circumstances led to this
Roland letting contracts slip
The ESI embargo
Relegation
And finally the salary cap meaning that we couldn't offer him a sensible new contract even if Dillon and Lee wanted to
Hopefully now we can put to bed any nonsense around him refusing to play for us. I wish we could have avoided losing him, but Amos should be adequate for L1.0 -
Phillips is a better keeper, but Amos is a decent league 1 keeper so no complaints. Wish him all the best and sure he will have a fantastic career, thanks Dill2

A lovely lad and really pleased he felt able to say goodbye in a personal way. I wish him all the best, and let's hope we don't have to let key players like Dillon go for a song again because of club troubles.
Onward Dillon with my blessing and all decent CAFC fans.1 -

Maybe its one change they need to make where any Academy kids are exempt. We've effectively had to get rid of one of our kids because we've been relegated and we've got him to a level where yes he's too good for us, but still potentially wants to play for us - Once again there is even less incentive for clubs to produce their own kids because if you dont get them pinched by a Premier League club, you'll eventually lose them anyway (if they're good enough) when they reach 21 and are too good to be on anything close to £2k p/w1 -
I can’t imagine the salary cap in its current form will be a long term thing - far too many issues.ForeverAddickted said:

Top top man , wont forget being with my little uns at Sparrows Lane April 2019 and you coming over to us to ask if we wanted a kickabout and making the boys and my day, especially when i told you to try your best to save my penalty and i rinsed you giving you the eyes and putting it in the other corner .
AMB came over for a chat that day as well and he was a top lad for someone so young4 -
Only just had time to catch up with the interview and it has brought a huge lump to my throat.WSS said:
Others have invariably said all that needs to be said on Dillon's honest and emotional words but I would reiterate how proud we should be that OUR football club has produced such a player and indeed such a man.
Dillon has been Charlton through and through since he was a nipper and as such totally "gets" how we, the faithful feel. His description of walking out of the tunnel to a packed Valley gave me the goose bumps that he clearly experienced....
This young man is a successful product of Charlton Athletic Football Club and a credit to those who have nurtured his talent since the age of 8.
I wish him every success in the future and will watch his journey closely .
Dillon, you are one special guy and it was a huge privilege to watch you progress at our special football club.
Twist and shout onwards and upwards !

Phillips playing for Cardiff's U23s1 -
Is Smithies that much better than Dillion to keep him out the team?0

Seems a real waste that he's sat on the bench - not a great move. Smithies is a decent keeper so Dillon will have to wait.1

He will probably point to his pay cheque in terms of whether it’s a good move for him or not?hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Seems a real waste that he's sat on the bench - not a great move. Smithies is a decent keeper so Dillon will have to wait.2 -
Always the risk as a keeper. Only an injury or massive loss of form tends to dislodge the current number 1. All that hard work Phillips did to get first team football and he's now back to warming the bench, albeit with a few extra quid in his pocket.1

He should be No1 for a championship team - not sure if the money really makes up for it.Valleysarr said:

Amos has deputised well.
I'm very pleased they're taking to him.11
