Roland probably will not renew Lee Bowyer`s contract , I would guess. I think this, as Lee has been a bit public in his criticism of Roland over the sale of Grant and the refusal of a replacement.

So you're deducing that the "something that will be put to him next week", will be a cheerio GIF ?
Fingers crossed the crazy owner doesn't mess this up. The only thing that he's done right since taking over is probably the appointment of Bowyer. If he doesn't offer Bowyer a new contract that is acceptable to Bowyer and Bowyer leaves us this May/June then there will be very little I can look forward to next season..... unless we are promoted to the Championship.
By the way SCP will definitely not come back as long as RD is the owner.
This won't happen because the owner is an idiot, but one thing he could do is to realise he has been very lucky and respond to that. Lucky? Well he is lucky that he has stumbled on a management team which knows what it is doing (a bit of an under statement there). What you do when you see this is back them and let them take you up the leagues.
So Duchatelet ought to realise that he isn't going to get the money he wants, but if, and it is an if, Bowyer gets us promoted, it may be worth investing a bit to try to get us into the premiership. I know it won't happen, but finding a manager like Bowyer out of nothing isn't easy - look at all the managers we have had trying to find the right one!
Of course if he took this risk, and it would be a risk, he could change history and save face. But sadly he came into football to demonstrate that he was a messiah and knew more than everybody else. When it became clear the opposite was the case, he lost interest and it is now about leaving with some pride. In his case getting a ridiculous price which he will never get! But there is an opportunity that a sane person could sniff out. An undeserved one, but these things happen in football.
If we get promoted, we will most likely end up losing Bowyer and go straight down. That is the reality of this idiot's ownership!
How do people think Bowyer’s reputation stands in the game as a whole? If he walked away from Charlton do you think he’d find another job at or above our current level?

No question. Bowyer has proved his worth (as has JJ). Just imagine what he could do at a club with a sane owner and decent board.

Bowyer’s Star is at present on the rise. The job he’s doing under what must be a universally held view within the game of being extremely difficult at best, will not have gone unnoticed. Now I’m not suggesting that there are Prem clubs looking but there will be some Championship clubs willing to offer him a job and I doubt that any League One club would not be interested.
I think Lee really does have a great affection for Charlton and it would take something significant for him to walk , but with our owner you can never confidently say that that significant event is not just around the corner.
