Fuck that yellow tooth, manky horrible little twat!
Havent boycotted and living in Southampton I go with @southamptonaddick as often as we could but that's me done.
Play offs seem a distant memory now. Should have been a platform to build on but the foundations are crumbling beneath us.
Mentions they didnt want to deal with an agent, granted there reputations arent always the best but there job is to get the best deal for there client.
Funny that they'll never disclose information about selling players but are happy to make details such as this public, using the site to spin the situation to their advantage and against LB. Hypocritical lying aresholes.
Charlton Athletic have been unable to reach an agreement with manager Lee Bowyer regarding the extension of his contract.
The fact the club is for sale has not helped with finding an agreement. The current owner needs to take into account that a new owner may want to appoint his own manager. However, this concern did not stop the current owner proposing a contract extension of one year to Lee Bowyer, even though the club may be sold in a few weeks. Under those circumstances a multi-year extension would not be good business practice.
In addition, since the club is still losing money, which is one of the reasons why the club has not been sold yet, the focus on reducing costs means that we are extremely limited on payroll increases.
Lee has been offered a one-year extension to his contract at a level which is approximately three times what he had since his last increase when he became permanent manager in September. It is six times what he earned when he started as assistant manager in 2017 and 50% more than what any Charlton manager previously had (excluding the Premier League years). This reflects the strong desire we have to continue to have Lee as our manager. But Lee wanted much more.
The owner understands Lee’s point of view, because many Championship clubs pay huge amounts (some pay millions of £ per year) to their manager. It is fair that Lee feels he should be paid like many other Championship managers. That the average Championship club makes a loss of around £15 million per year is not something players should care about. The owners are crazy.
This is why we could not come to an agreement. Another element may have influenced as well. Unlike previous contract discussions, Lee wanted an agent to handle it. We reluctantly accepted. However, involving a player agent in a manager’s contract discussion is not healthy. If the agent helps make the manager more money, it may result in the manager to have a more positive attitude towards players proposed by the same agent, a conflict of interest. Obviously, Lee is above such things, but it is nevertheless not a healthy situation.
The club hasn’t started to look for any other manager in the meantime and does not intend to appoint a permanent manager, since the club is going to be sold. A caretaker manager will be announced in due course and in the meantime the other staff members will continue to prepare the upcoming season for which a lot of good work has been performed already.
If Lee does change his mind before his contract expires and chooses to continue his good work at Charlton, he is still welcome to stay.
However our ability to sell the club is the most important thing right now.

Seriously fucking dejected.
Living near Southampton, don’t you mean you “Havant” boycotted
Anyone still think that this is nothing whatsoever to do with Duchatelet being a nasty, vindictive, egotistical, narcissist who simply wants nothing more than to get revenge on us for embarrassing him?
"The club hasn’t started to look for any other manager in the meantime and does not intend to appoint a permanent manager, since the club is going to be sold".
So if you were the phantom buyer and you had agreed a price seeing that the club your buying will now have no manager ,all the top players sold or left and your possibly X amount of points adrift at the bottom of the league----woukdnt you withdraw your offer or reduce it ?????
The Rat is killing this club
Be careful what you call the Rats clique they still have tame plod who have the time to drag you to court

Copied from Charlton Soul ....Urge Charlton fans to read it all. Roland gave up on the talks as he isn't planning on owning the club for much longer. Obviously couldn't see the point of negotiating a contract he wouldn't be paying.
It's a mess but not necessarily time to dispair just yet #cafc ......... Wise words, read it all
"The club hasn’t started to look for any other manager in the meantime and does not intend to appoint a permanent manager, since the club is going to be sold".
i.e. Wouldnt be surprised if he puts someone in charge of affairs (an even worse version of Karel Fraeye for example) who is just a yes man
Bloke hasnt even bothered to appoint Senior figures in the boardroom since the club is going to be sold so why worry about a Manager?

Why put the statement out there at all if thats the case?
I guess if Dalman has had words with Bow to sit tight. Go do some fishing and we’ll have you back in a week or so. Meanwhile Gallen continues to pick off the transfer list (Bonne etc)?
I guess if Dalmat has had words with Bow to sit tight. Go do some fishing and we’ll have you back in a week or so. Meanwhile Gallen continues to pick off the transfer list (Bonne etc)?
Unless Dalman does not want Bowyer as manager and has someone else in mind, Warnock anyone?

Then he would be off to a very bad start with the fans. A near 70 year old manager or a club legend loved by all? Mmmm,let me think🤔🤔

Whatever it is you’re taking, it should be legalised right now, the world would finally see peace.

She wanted to get Dunk from Brighton but the wait made that dissolve. At least she will take the CUP games seriously.

That old chesnut
Feels worst then when we was relegated from the Prem.
Fuck off Roland
Does the Tea Lady prefer a flat 4-4-2 or a diamond midfield ?
at least she’ll be more interested in the cups
An untenable situation for the old scroat.
When is it going to be sold for f**** sake".
