    wonder who they are 
  • Listening to Bowyer on CharltonLive, he sounds very hesitant with his answers - Quite a few long pauses, sounds the sort of man who is trying to be careful to say the right thing

    Hopefully that was due to trying  hard to cover up the excitement that's bubbling away inside that gruff exterior, bless his cotton socks.

    The faithful DESPERATELY needs the best possible outcome after these last 9 months of frustration, dashed hopes and worry.

    But this was nothing  compared to the utter despondency  that the gaffer and his team will have endured day after day, match after match....

    When the deed is finally done, I shall be thinking of those heroes who stuck by us throughout the darkest of times and thanking them with all my heart for keeping  the faith against all the odds.

    Success will feel so much sweeter this time around.

    Won't happen, but Lee needs to come out and lay it all on the table. That he can't strengthen, that the club can't compete because PE is holding the club to ransom and the EFL are allowing it. Tell the world that a new owner is waiting to buy us and that he has however many signings waiting to go, and because of the actions of PE, and the lack of action from the EFL, those signings are all at risk.

    At this stage he has nothing to lose.

    He should go off with stress.

    He'd be very unlikely to lose his job doing that as well, as who with the authority to give him his marching orders actually disagrees with that opinion

    It's only a risk if a) he doesn't walk if the TS takeover falls through and b) PE actually buys the club and operates it as a football club rather than dismantling it.

    I hope (a) doesn't happen (both that TS does take over and that Lee wouldn't walk if he didn't) and we all know (b) is never going to happen. Therefore there is no way anybody can "punish" Lee for saying whatever he likes.

    Rich Cawley: 'What is your feeling about the outcome of the court case'

    Bowyer: "They can all fuck off, that's it I'm done. For really decent carp fishing head to one of Bow's lakes in France. Peace, quiet, carp and no fucking Paul Elliott, Tahnoon Nimer, Matt Southall, Chris Farnell or Roland Duchatelet."

    I 100% agree. He should have done something similar in January when he knew about the embargo. He didnt so I doubt he'd do anything now.

    Difference in January was it was a believable story that the money was coming and tests would be passed. So Lee saying anything would have undermined his position. MS/TN were the owners and would have been convincing that it was all just an admin mistake.

    Difference now is PE is not the owner and we all know he's a conman.
  • Lee not talking today?.

    Spoke yesterday morning I think going by Rich Cawley's tweets

    If LB came out and said this we might even get a thirty second slot on SSN.

    In between the important stuff about Gareth Bale and some other ultra important PREMIER LEAGUE issue.

    Said at the start of the season that the spark has disappeared from Lee what with being relegated from the Championship

    Felt we needed a win or two to see that return

    Hearing him there makes it sound as though the Swindon / Crewe results have achieved just that
  • I bloody love LB - absolute hero.

    Despite the court case, the embargo still in place and unable to strengthen the side for tomorrow's game ...... no throwing his toys out of the pram from Lee there, is there?

    Seems to be completely unfazed by yesterday's events.
    What does he know, that we don't? :wink:

    He just wants the team to take on his positivity ... looking down would not help the players. 

    Lee knows all about motivation  :)

    Yeah, in a way its kinda made me feel a little hopeful. 

    Its probably for nothing, and I expect its as Bowyer says he needs to be positive around the team. That's just good player management.

    He's not really saying anything though, is he?

    Too afraid to be added to @Dazzler21 's list. :smile:


  • Just seeing his cheeky smile has cheered me right up.
    I bloody love him ❤️

    LOL He's a touch offended. 

    Even if they're not being injured in training, it is arguable that the high intensity of Bowyer's training coupled with the already high intensity of games could be lending itself to the injuries occurring. Or it could be that we're using cheap players and forcing them to overperform. 

    It won't be that alone though, the players need to ensure they are recovering properly with proper nutrition, stretching and rest plans.
