Have the CL Holier than Thou brigade been notified of this blatant stereotyping? I know they have an ongoing pogrom on the takeover thread but they would hate to let this stain on our reputation continue unchallenged.
Oi! Has thee been snoopin in my pigeon coop. Or tekkin a peek at my misses long-johns ont weshin line? By eck tharts a crackin view. joking aside I live with a city scape view and love it. That view above would've been mine 50+ years ago before the clean air act came in.
I have no issue with him moving and yes I would definitely have wanted him to stay another season but he did a great job for us and signed off in spectacular fashion with that goal. As fans you can’t ask for more so good luck Patrick. However, I’m not sure Preston is such a smart move, not necessarily from a football sense and it may well be a much nicer place to live for all I know but I do wonder whether it was Ill advised to up sticks and go there so soon after his wife has had their first baby. As a father (though mine are all grown up now) I know from experience and always tell people to never to underestimate the value of the network mums build up with other mums having babies around the same time when they are pregnant and have their babies. Patrick has just taken her away from that network. PNE better pull their fingers out for her and not just think it’s all about getting the BFG settled in.
Christ almighty......how many more ‘guesses’ are there going to be as to how much he was earning with us and how much he’s going to be earning with Preston.....I can’t keep up with them all, it’s pretty ridiculous when you come to think of it.
Who cares how much he's earning... We couldn't offer a competitive salary because we're owned by Duchatelet who simply needs to sell the club and fuck off.

So personally i think he was on 4, and now he's on 8, but we only offered 5, but Redhenry says he thinks he's only on 6, but then said maybe 7, and then Preston offer a max of 8, but who knows. What are your thoughts?

My guess is you could multiple those numbers by a thousand...

You make a valid point re 'Mums Network.'
However football is such a peripatetic profession that I suspect there is an ongoing network of wives and partners within all football clubs and that they are used to welcoming and losing members on a regular basis.
Well, as much as I adore Bauer, I think pound for pound, if Preston are paying anything like £8k, we are better off with Lockyer at the likely £2500-4000/week we got him for. Even with a new owner, not sure I would have matched Preston at 8k/week. I would rather have spent the difference trying to keep Aribo.
I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen Lockyer play for us. As usual, too many people assuming all of the new signings are going to be roaring sucesses in a Charlton shirt. No guarantees at all about that.

All new signings are class acts and signing for us shows how ambitious they are.
Everyone we wanted to keep wasn’t that good anyway, we’ll replace them with better and they’re disloyal snakes who only care about money.

How do we know? He’s never played for us .
Just remember, 33% of my posts are outright wrong, 33% lack complete information and 35% have math errors.

Bowyer said that he had offers of 'double what he is on here'.
A 3k difference plus a signing on fee would be enough for most players to up and leave.
Pat's getting more there than he was offered here.
