  • If someone had photoshopped that picture to a Charlton scarf  this thread would have gone mental.

    He's back in Bucharest -




    Where's his Charlton scarf & flask
    That would only work if he was standing at the end of a train platform with a clipboard.

  • I dare one of you to ask him to post a photo of himself wearing a Charlton scarf on his Instagram page.

    I'd like to think that the "strange" ideas have to do with ambitions to devote money and resources to the women's team to elevate both the women's and the men's to the upper echelons, as per the Sheik's statements... No doubt Bowyer would find that strange but not bad... Probably not, and we don't even know the Sheik's involved, but I'm choosing that to cling to!
    I think they aim to bring all aspects of the club together: the first team, academy, women’s team, community trust, etc. How they plan to do that exactly, I don’t have a clue. But I think that Southall has a plan and ideas to do just that. For me, that’s what is ‘strange’. Just how feasible and successful it will actually be, will be interesting and exciting at the same time. They certainly have the money to make it work. Building the training ground development to have it all integrated together I feel is a key part of this.

    With that, I hope it allows for more vacancies and opportunities for people in the community who are qualified. I know the trust have agreed a big contract with someone I am not prepared to name, but the future work and plans are interesting and possibly in years to come the new training ground could play a part in that.

    Overall, it will bring the club even closer to the community and I think they know if they can tap into that side, we have a huge area to improve and make ourselves a real force.

    I’m just looking forward to it being announced and we can all move forward in a positive direction. The sooner that happens, the sooner Bowyer can also get the help he needs for the squad and us and the club can really kick on together.

    We must have a bit more patience, but it’s going to be exciting once it happens.
    Very interesting and very positive.

    I hope you are correct @sage as I've long wanted the Community Trust (note that TN posted their badge on Insta) and the women's team, the LGBT+, the deaf team et al to be integral parts of the Charlton Athletic, not add ons that receive no funding but are used for good publicity when it suits the owners.


    I wouldn't have thought it made any sense to bring CACT in-house, as there are benefits from operating at arm's length as an independent charity.

    Every chance he’s just posting pictures he has saved, it doesn’t have to be a picture he’s just taken. I’d bet he’s in London personally from the location tags.

    He could be on his way to the station with Bradshaw's Continental Railway guide in his back pocket ? Well you never know :-)

    Agreed, apart from the Womens team, which needs the finances to compete 
  • That Instagram account is great value. Would be an incredible troll account if it’s fake.

    You can fly from London to Budapest, nonstop, on Wizz Air.  Just saying. 
  • The number of photos he's posting on Instagram, have we been taken over by a teenager!

    I agree but the relationship with CACT could be much closer and better integrated IMHO.

    It’s probably Thomas Driesen - another bitter ex employee.

    So, after all that, he's gone from UAE to Paris, then Paris to Budapest and nowhere near SE7. 

    Don't think the Hunted UK team have got anything to worry about
