Feels like I've just been punched in the gut reading that as he's one of my favourite players!!
As @SELR_Addicks says, fully respect him for being open and honest over the situation, especially as it seems that people aren't being honest with us when he says that he was never offered a new Contract
tbh he would be mad to sign a new contract unless he was offered a decent payrise and/or we had a cash injection so he could see the club had some ambition
"Pat has been offered a new deal and he is thinking about that at the moment".
Now the man himself says he hasn't been offered anything.
So someone is lying?
Maybe he shouldn’t have included the word “new” but to be fair that’s probably how Leyland Daff Deturck describes it to LB. I mean what would he know about football contracts anyway...
Respect him more for letting the fans know rather than trying to engineer a move away in the background.
I’m not knocking him at all-four years service at our place deserves a medal. I don’t imagine his main objective was to “let the fans know” though and can’t see him still in a Charlton shirt come the end of the season, maybe not even the end of the week.
Nope... I just hope he's fed up being under Roland and that if we can keep him till a takeover is completed (LOL!) then he'll maybe consider a new deal under our new owners - Really sounds like a come and get me plea though and explains he lack of performance Saturday as didnt seem on top of his game I must admit
Oh well... We're getting a new Defender (to replace Bauer) and a new Midfielder (to replace Aribo or JFC), so we'll only sign the one Goalkeeper that'll actually ADD to the squad before the window closes on Thursday
Certainly tallies up with what Ajose apparently said on the train home!!

Maybe LB was told that the club was going to offer him a new deal and then they didn't.
The club withdrew offers made to Fosu and Aribo and my guess is that as part of the cost cutting they have now decided not to make an increased offer to Bauer.
Interesting that he has chosen to make this public. Clearly that is for a reason.
Maybe he is being pushed to take a transfer, maybe he's just fed up with working for such a badly run and lead organisation.
Is it possible that Bowyer has been naive here? RD told him Bauer was staying and had been offered a new deal.............but then RD actually hasn't offered Bauer anything?
I don't think he had one of his best games on Saturday not too bad 1st half but got caught out ball watching several times 2nd period. Maybe he had his mind elsewhere and it affected his concentration. Just saying like.
Hopefully he is simply saying... I'm not going to extend my Contract on the same terms as what I'm currently on, either give me a better deal or I leave for free at the end of the season!!
When everyone was saying what great news it was last week I did think it was all a bit premature.
Hardly surprising. Until Roland goes we have very little to smile about.
Jacko, Bowyer, Solly and Jason Pearce are the ones we need to get behind. They are fighting for the club in my opinion. Most of the players are in an impossible position. Without them 4 guys we'd be much worse off

And where was the confusion?
And why announce it now, one game into a new season?
Whatever the responses, it’s just another load of shit to be thrown at us.
IF we get ambitious new owners and IF we go up, then maybe then he would consider staying on...

Bauer now says he hasn't been offered anything.
