Interesting scenario. Bauer and Aribo get sold late on Thursday and we don’t get any replacements. Bowyer, Jacko, Euell and anyone else on the staff with any self respect say “fuck this, we’re off” on Friday. What actually happens next?

Who is there at the club to offer a contract? does Bowyer even have a contract?
LDV is in the building tomorrow until Thursday I suspect.............he'll possibly deal with contracts & any player sales before deadline at 5pm Thursday.
LDV ..is that Leyland Daf Vanman ?
Yes, he’s the know-nothing finance man that Rolando flies over to a posh hotel every week so he can tell everyone how to save money by cancelling water and eating less cheesy-peas...

I doubt RD would appoint one of his own - assuming a takeover is still on the cards. Perhaps that would be one of our biggest indicators yet. If it's still on I'd assume Jackson and/or Euell if Bowyer walks.

If those sales happen I can see Bowyer departing. I don’t see Jackson following him. Think he would tough it out.
Patrick is well settled in SE London, as I believe is his new missus. He is very well regarded by the other players, and by the coaches. He regrets career-wise another year in L1, but he would be a reluctant mover. Yet another career blighted by the toxic Belgian dilettante. The tweets Pat sent are pukka, sadly.
Not at all surprising, I'm afraid, as the club/Duchatelet have been misleading and extremely economical with the truth in what they've had to say about contracts. They announced that new contracts had been offered this summer to Joe Aribo and Tarique Fosu but omitted to mention subsequently that those offers had been withdrawn and resubmitted with a 50% reduction - a move which can only have been designed to move our two most talented players out of the club and garner transfer fees.
I expect that Lee Bowyer has been misled about the proposed new contract offer to Patrick Bauer. Whether or not the player has been offered an extension (probably on unattractive terms) or nothing at all is a moot point but no one could seriously have expected him to sign anyway, given the club's current state of crisis and Duchatelet's disgraceful treatment of fellow players like Aribo and Fosu.
Patrick may have been responding to some probing on Twitter or his agent may have been approached by a club interested in acquiring his services. I recall Bowyer mentioning a derisory offer from Blackburn of £300,000, following which a valuation of £2million was allegedly placed on the player. If another offer is made before Thursday, I expect Bauer to go for something like £350,000 tops (maybe less for cash up front).
As for Bowyer's own position, wasn't he told that his position would be made permanent before the start of the season if the takeover hadn't gone through ? No surprise that Duchatelet is still stringing him along.

I wonder what LB will do if Bauer & Aribo are sold by Thursday.........
tell RD to do one & he's been lied to (wasn't he also supposed to have been made manager before last Saturday)
or just suck it up & come out with his...."it is what it is"
Agree with this, I would expect LB to walk away, and frankly who could blame him, the Bauer situation if correctly reported must be pretty rich to stomach. Add Aribo in that, it would need one hell of a conversation to convince any manager. What depths we have sunk to?. There needs to be a very clear message given to this owner, and answers given, If not forthcoming...... then protest in my opinion. If it means joining ROT so be it, I guess another year of protest for me. Have to wait and see what the board of CAST and CARD come up with, I do not envy them!.......

I genuinely don't see him moving to any old club this week, when he can run his contract down instead and wait and see. He can talk to overseas clubs in January if he's thinking of returning home, for example.
Bauer is decent but it's not as if he's irreplaceable .. I should thing that (e.g.) Ward would do a good job at central defence, there are always experienced big ol boys around looking for a club (if we pay the wages of course) and who knows, Sarr might suddenly bloom and blossom, he might even become a decent defender
I think you’ve missed the point here. It’s not a matter of whether Bauer is easily replaceable or not. It’s a matter that one of our current key players, aged 25, hasn’t been offered a new contract. If our owner isn’t willing to do that, then replacing him with an unknown quantity from outside the club isn’t going to be very likely is it?

No, he won't move to just anywhere, or necessarily home. But when you are as honest and loyal as he is, you are entitled to proper respect in return. This is not a one-way street. I'm sure the young man is not actively canvassing offers, but should his agent learn of interest it would be foolish to think it would not even be considered. Because of the owner, no other reason.
Proud of what you've hatched here, Roland? Silly question - of course you are ....
If you're reading this, Paddy - just not Millwall, eh?!
If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that couldn't list a full set of subs for the opening game of the season, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club where the manager looked like breaking all records for being the longest standing caretaker in football, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that had gone for ¾ year without a chief executive, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that had dropped down the league despite my best efforts, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club where the owner was universally hated, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club where fans were staying away in droves, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that sold its best young players at every opportunity, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club where proposed improvements to the training ground never happened, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that the owner wanted to sell but couldn't because of its ridiculous over-valuation, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club that was penny pinching over every little thing, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I played for a club where people told you one thing and then did another, alarm bells would start ringing. If I was Patrick Bauer and I'd be shouting from the rooftop, "the bells, the bells, somebody stop the bells, I can't hear myself think anymore"!
Bowyer will be next 100% to walk away he mustve been told bauer had been made an offer to put out the" Patrick has been amde an offer and is considering his options" statement last week
the aussies got something right the next 2 weeks will be nervey
Cannot see Bauer being too happy with that response- bowyer saying that PB has been badly advised and that he’s basically lied as he has been offered a contract ‘verbally’
I'm sorry but if I was told I was getting a promotion at work and then I hear that other people had similar offers but then they were later retracted, I'd be feeling the same way Bauer is. I do not blame him one bit.
Under this regime, a verbal offer is worth absolute jack sh*t.
‘I have not been offered a new contract’ is likely different to being offered an extension. He goes on to say ‘and would not extend my current contract’ To me that sounds like he’s been offered an extension, at what terms who knows, knowing the mad man it’s at a lesser rate than he’s currently on but have to assume at the same terms.
Who knows, maybe Pratley & Taylor have come in on deals greater than what Paddy’s on and he feels any extension should be on similar terms.
Either way he’s set out his stall and the mad man will take any offer now I expect, Blackburn for £350k, discounted to £200k if payment up front. Ajose sub £100k probably Gillingham or similar and Aribo about £400k to Southampton.
I kinda agree with Bowyer there. was it really necessary to post it on social media that you have no inclination to extend your current contract? I know he wants to make it clear that he hasn't been offered (in writing anyway) a new better contract but we haven't seen any of the other players who also only have a year left start posting about it on twitter.
i know all must be frustrated with Roland and how difficult it is to get anything signed off but i think this just makes it even more difficult. though he probably, understandably, is making it obvious he wants out.

Is a Season Ticket refundable?
Bowyer is being lied to, says Bauer has been offered a new deal, Bauer says he hasn’t & wouldn’t sign one anyway.
Can see Bowyer walking if, as I expect, he’s not allowed to sign a replacement for JFC despite what he said post-match on Saturday.
Bauer, Aribo & Ajose could all be out the door before we kick off on Saturday
