If hes still here for next season I think relegation back to L1 is pretty much guaranteed. We will be lucky if we ever claw our way back again.
There certainly is a fair chance of relegation this season, but to suggest that we will never get back is way over the top.
Sorry mate, just feel so shit and sick of it all now.
@CAFCTrev Trev, your reaction is understandable, and despite the levity that breaks out in a gallows humour way i can't believe even the stoic stiff upper lip CL posters don't have moments of doubt about where we will end up as long as Duchatelet's tenure lasts.
One old reprobate once said "we are in for a bumpy ride" well fucx my old boots, never has that applied more than being Charlton supporters over the last 6 years,during the chaotic last year of the 3 amigos and the tenure of the failed Politician.
Please don't despair till Duchatelet stays for another year, all the coaching staff leave with Bowyer, Nobby Vinegar finally gets the job that he was promised by Roland, and we amass less points than Derby county did in that infamous season when Savage was captain. Until that happens keep your pecker up.
Haven't read last few pages or been on this morning but just had a bulletin. We are nearly there I think - Bowyers and many others contracts will follow on from the takeover which I believe is at a very advanced stage with the ex Cardiff chairman - verified from inside the club. Watch this space.

We are taking about a bloke who cant even sort out a contract extension and pay him his worth for Bowyer who has upped the profile 1000% of our club so realistically what chance was there of sorting out a deal to sell our club I will tell you f**k all chance Ten rich Arabs carrying ten sacks of gold and he would still find a reason not to sell

Sorry but that last sentence is complete BS and you know it, why even say it?
Wouldn't go as strong as BS, but it would have been better had Trev given a timeline, say within 10 years?
It won't though will it? Even under RD we are a big and attractive league 1 club. Even on a break even budget we would be "competitive" in league 1. 3 transfer windows would be all it would take, at a maximum, for a new owner to turn it round on the pitch.
The 3 play off games showed that this clubs is far from dead.
If you went to Rochdale and saw Nobel, Parrot et al near the end of Powell's 1st season you would never imagine we would walk the league the next season.
The forum that shall not be named have heard Dalman’s takeover will be completed in 10 days to two weeks...
To be fair. That forum and in particular that poster does have contacts in Cardiff.
But they also said a British Consortium was going to by us within a week back in August 2018?????
Plenty of people have been wrong about the takeover, including some that post on here who are reliable. Don’t think incorrect rumours from last year prove anything either way.

Yeah and the same poster shared what the article today was going to say before it went online. Doucher’s said similar as well.
The info is hopefully accurate, but what can’t be predicted is Duchatelet’s handling of it all.
In fact he has quite a lot of contacts not just those at Cardiff. He doesn’t always hit the spot but then nobody does. Don’t completely disregard a comment made by Reams.
My problem is, forget the buyer, but there seems to be one major obstacle every time. As far as I can see, there has been no mention of said obstacle being removed. We have absolutely no reason to be optimistic.
That sounds like a perfect example of the so-called Roland’s Law, which states that it is the case that no obstacle can be removed until the obstacle has been removed.
Mehmet has said he’s going. Tan wants him to stay & has upped his money. plot thickens.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dalman doesn't seem to be involved with Cardiff to be on a healthy salary? Seems more to me it's his passionate hobby to be heavily involved with a football club. Would seem weird he would be offered more money and that would make him stay.
Basically he's rich as so why would a pay increase make him want to stay there. I've seen a Cardiff poster on their forum has said that he has always seemed to have wanted to own a club.

Was about to post similar.
If you want to own a football club and have the money to do so, then Tan upping his money by a few k is surely not going to make him change his mind. I doubt the guy needs a few k extra on his salary.

On a side note this Paul bloke looks a dead ringer for that lunatic in Luther Season 1 episode 4.

Not necessarily to buy us.

19 years after work began in 1705. As omens go, not a happy one.
