I think the takeover is being held up Roland not the Aussies! It's Roland revenge that we won't have a good squad next season coz we went against him singing mean songs to get him out! He will sell up to the Aussie 30 seconds after the transfer deadline and leave us as relegation shite till January when the Aussie will spend to get us out of trouble! Oh and Roland will sell Bauer Magennis and Vetokele before deadline closes!
Where does Bowyer see Clarke & Reeves playing bearing in mind he keeps saying he only has two CMs? Does he genuinely think they are striker / winger material?

Surely their best position is attacking CM.
They are both currently injured.....Clarke would have been out for almost a year & Reeves is made of glass. I expect LB is discounting them playing any major part of proceedings early doors.

Clarke covered most of the pitch in the early part of the season. He previously had the same injury in his other leg. Likely to come back strong at some point. Attacking midfielder.
Todd Kane has been released from Chelsea, would be a good signing as he can play in a number of positions, but doubt we'd go for him or he'd want to join us.
7 years at Chelsea, 7 different loans clubs. 0 Chelsea appearances. 24 years old.
I'd like to know what on earth made Taylor decide to sign for us instead of Sunderland. It can't only have been the fact we're in London, especially as he's played up north before and in Scotland.
Surely he asked about the team building plans and what else we'd be doing?

Well he obviously didn’t ask Bowyer. He doesn’t get involved with that stuff.
I don’t understand why every year we are in a relegation battle? Yes, this probably is the worst time in charltons modern day history, the squad is small and will rely on u-23’s but it’s league 1. Who will have a squad of 25? Nobody!!! Is our squad worse than gillinghams, Walsall’s, Wimbledon’s etc. We still have some very good players at this level. Taylor single handedly kept Wimbledon up last year, we also have Pearce, Fosu, page, Forster-caskey, Aribo etc who man for man would walk into any league 1 teams.
Without a take over, people leaving (not mentioned above) and a few free signings, we will be slap bang average and mid table! This relaxation talk winds me up

No it's probably not worse than Walsall, Wimbledon and Gillingham but it's not them we need to worry about.
We need our squad to be better than the likes of Scunthorpe, Pompey, Plymouth, Sunderland, Barnsley, Peterborough and Bradford etc.

He mentions the likes of Walsall | Wimbledon | Gillingham because he cant understand why we'd be in a relegation battle as yes our small squad should still be better than theirs - the issue (like you say) is that our squad wont be better than six sides in this Division which means we shouldnt be looking at anything better than Mid-table this season

That's not what Bowyer said.
Taylor said he'd had a long talk with Bowyer and liked his football ideas.
Bowyer is trying to distance himself from the negotiations. He picked Taylor and has identified other players either to keep (Fosu and Aribo) or sign (unnamed midfielder) but he's not brokering the deal.
Far from ideal as you'd like to have a CEO who works closely with the permanent manager but this is all the Aussie fault Duchatelet's Charlton

We have a half decent team with no depth, its up there with top 10 of worst at the minute and only looks to be getting worse.

I don't think anyone on here seriously thinks we'll get relegated. Except probably golfie.
Why fret right now that there are gaps in the squad? Bowyer and Jacko will know that, won't they? Players will be signed, whether they are freebies or loans.
Wait and see. Things will happen. The Sunderland game will indicate where we are with team building.

and once we get to the Sunderland game it will be too late as the transfer window shuts just a few days later.

My point, Golfie ..... is that there will no doubt be some signings before the Sunderland game.
Surely the point is that we have an interim manager who can only go along with an owner who doesn't want to own the club, minimise his spending whether it is on new players or the current team plus to maximise his earnings by selling whatever assets he can.
Add that to no senior management and you have a basket case of a club that surely very few players would choose as their employer

Could even argue to replace the GK. Major work still to be done if we want any chance of promotion. Wishful thinking I guess !

Relegation though, no chance!!
