Probably recorded already (no right of reply or phone-line questions). A three minute review of what his statement said and several questions from Jim White seeking confirmation or clarification and "thanks Roland for coming on and being so forthright etc."
According to Rich Cawley LB and RD are talking tomorrow morning, so you’d hope they’d do that before the Talksport spot. Something recorded today might be out of date in that case.
I suspect Bowyers phone conversation will be a short one.
If you have listened to any of his other Talksport interviews, you wouldn't be saying that.
"Well there you have it Charlton fans, I didn't ask him any probing questions or highlight what a fool he is, yet again! Back soon for more of the same old shite!"
Sky Sports have been running the same report since the statement was published.... SLP plus one other are the only sites that have mentioned the 'talks' tomorrow morning... not convinced the talks will be about a contract though
Taking it as though the SLP are the only ones doing some proper research - SKY etc. just seem to be taking the statement as your typical Football gospel without thinking about who has written it
Wasnt it mentioned that Bowyer speaks directly with the likes of Rich Cawley which is why the latter is able to get such quick information
Spot on.... most just re-report other threads. Struggling to see how any progress can be made after today though...
Remember when Roland first appointed Bowyer as manager it wasn't because he believed that Bowyer would be any good, but because at that time Bowyer was cheap.I suspect that Bowyer's success has become bitvof an irritant to Roland. Remember he heaped more praise on the Sheffield United manager at the end of the season than he did on Lee Bowyer.
I wonder if Wilder discussed the Charlton job including his agent?
Feels like rd is trying to force the buyers or ex directors hands - pay up / agree to a 'headshave' before the manager and players join other clubs. Could also be clearing the decks for dalman and warnock. Alternatively could just be rd continuing to act like a man with no interest in football just following some financial principles that just don't work in football.

Or acting like a man who has lost his marbles? It does happen, even to millionaires.
LB desperately wants to stay, that's obvious. He sees the job as being half done....and i quote 'this thing is unique, and we're gonna go on a journey', well he got that right. We're all still hopeful....
I've no idea what's going on, but the sheer randomness and rantiness of the statement makes no sense by itself, especially as Bowyer clearly hadn't given up on the negotiations, and less than an hour later we hear that they'll be talking again tomorrow. It's a very Trumpian way of negotiating.
One thing that might be key is what the future owners want. If all the potential parties want Bowyer to stay, then letting him go (and causing a squad and fan meltdown) goes directly against their interests and desires. Is this a bargaining tool in the sale? Or did one the potential buyers phone Roland up after the statement was published asking him what the **** he was playing at, and get him to phone Bowyer up to restart talks?

Jokes aside thanks for sharing, fingers crossed
Hold up on the protests
