Why has Bowyer not been signed up yet?

No brainers are not the best decisions for somebody like Duchatelet to take. It assumes too much sanity and intelligence.0

This feels just like Duchatelet offering Kermorgant a salary than he was already on just so he could say he'd offered him a contract. It's disgraceful if he's done that again.2

Giuseppe and Rich C are two journalists I know for a fact Lee Bowyer speaks to privately on a regular basis. I’d be astonished if those lines didn’t come from Bowyer or someone very close to him.letthegoodtimesroll said:Bubble said:https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/charlton-boss-lee-bowyer-5050-to-leave-club-as-he-holds-out-for-improved-contract-offer-a4169001.html?amp&__twitter_impression=true

Using the media is part of the negotiation process.

No idea what Bowyer's salary is but i'd have preferred it if we'd given Bowyer a 2 year deal with a 100k a year pay rise, over signing Bonne for 200k.
Nothing against Bonne, but we can cope without him. We're in the shit without Bowyer.0 -

I don’t get any of this.
If LB is being offered a bottom half L1 salary, what on earth was he on last season?
Bonne is pictured shaking hands with LB last Tuesday, surely the player would’ve wanted some assurances about the managerial position/takeover before he signed.
Why would Duchatelet authorise a LB/Gallen signing involving a fee if he knew there was little chance of LB accepting a new contract?2 - Sponsored links:

Duchatelet asked Alan Turing in a dream if Bowyer's demands were taking the mick.
Turing said Kings Ferry has loads of coaches.2 -
He's a goner I reckon. JJ to take over?0

As I feared from the going in the right direction stuff, this never went anywhere last week.
Using the press for negotiation with Duchatelet never seems to end well.
Starting to get worried now8 -
I am still fairly confident Bowyer will sign but just with everything with Roland something so simple has been made hard work.1
-
Agreed on both points.MuttleyCAFC said:But he has just signed a player - that isn't what a manager who is about to leave does. like everything with this club under Roland - it does your head in!
Taylor signed for Cafc instead of Sunderland, and in Lyle's own words it was because he could learn more under Lee Bowyer and improve again. (Which he did)
Bowyer comes across as a straight talking guy. Would he bullshit Bonne or would he say I'm in negotiations on my own contract but hope to be here to help your progression.
As John Humphreys said to me on a train last season, for professional footballers having your contract signed, being picked and staying fit and winning are the main concerns for a player not the off field political stuff, that is for the passionate fans.
As JH is a fan, he see the bigger picture now.

If he doesn't sign it will be as big a mistake as Roland has made and that is saying something given his record.8

I'm just not buying this talk of a bottom half L1 salary though to be honest. Just doesn't ring true to me and suspect there is exagerration going on there.

This takeover needs to happen asap.1

If, and I say if that is correct, then the Chris Wilder non signing for Charlton because of some fans intervention in telling Wilder to get everything in writing (I'm sure he would have anyway) makes you wonder about the revenge thought in that complex Brain of RD.Airman Brown said:
Read it again. RD is offering bottom half of L1.ForeverAddickted said:If its true that Bowyer wants the salary of a top half Championship Manager then part of me questions if he's done enough to deserve that... Yes he did great in League One on a shoe string budget, but he's still only a year into Management (Frank Lampard is the same but he's gone straight from playing) and he's unproven as a Manager at this level
i.e. Its not so much Bowyer himself or Roland but I'd question why he deserves to be on more money than those Managers around him like Neil Harris @ Millwall or Paul Cook @ Wigan (if Lee is being offered more than what they're on)0 - Sponsored links:

He'd have a pretty good idea from friends and agents.Uboat said:

I think it is nothing more sinister than the deadly combination of Roland not being the full ticket and being a cheapskate more than anything to do with revenge. Roland will have no idea of the good fortune he has just experienced in getting Bowyer and probably thinks he will find another one if he goes. Of course he would prefer him to stay, but the situation is almost certainly completely lost on him.2

That’s one of the reasons players and managers have agents, they can make sure they’re being paid fairly.Uboat said:

Or to look at it another way, a guy who has spent his last 2 seasons playing non league probably jumped at the chance to sign a 3 year deal for a championship side regardless of who was manager.Macronate said:I don’t get any of this.

Well if Bowyer is on £100Kpa, that sounds like bottom half L1.AFKABartram said:I'm just not buying this talk of a bottom half L1 salary though to be honest. Just doesn't ring true to me and suspect there is exagerration going on there.
If RD is trying to roll it over without an increase or with a small increase, it's possible.0 -
