*******Bowyer SIGNED 3 YEAR DEAL (page 27 onwards )******
Comments

True. But if you felt that was going to change for the better, you might be happier. Anyway - I will be happy when he signs his new deal as I am sure we all will be. Bowyer has suggested it is only a couple of phone calls away so those calls ought to be made now!0

Negotiation is fine, the fact that we've been negotiating since October isn't. Obviously it's not straight forward which is why he hasn't signed. No player is going to sign if they don't know if LB is staying.Covered End said:

They must think we speak to a player/manager and they should just sign almost immediately on the dotted line.
We're Charlton you're not allowed to have time to think whether the deal is acceptable.
We're Charlton just sign right here and now and no you can't discuss it with you partner.
We're Charlton sign now, we don't care if you have issues with your kids and schools.
We're Charlton, we don't get if you'll have to move house or live in a hotel for 6 months, sign here & now.
We're Charlton .....
Southall said he spoke him about not leaving for another club. The smart money is either Cardiff or Huddersfield. That would have been mid November. 3 months ago.
The take over was announced at the end of November.
It received EFL approval in the first week of January.
If you number 1 priority was to get the incumbent manager to sign a new contract, why has it taken over 90 days to actually offer a contract? That appears to be not actually be acceptable to Bowyer?
I used the word "stinks" last night, which was probably to strong, but something doesn't add up to me.
It's a negotiation.
Who knows the terms, but I'd suggest it's not straight forward.
They haven't been negotiating since October.
NB I expect a signing to be announced very soon.

Doubt there is a fan who will not be sorry to see him go.1 -
No. I think you maybe suffering from PTCD Post traumatic Corbyn disorder :-)MuttleyCAFC said:Whilst I agree with that, surely getting Bowyer signed up is the litmus test and it hasn't happened yet. And we do need to see a window that is better than what a Roland window might be as that is the reason ESI gave for rushing the deal through without buying all of the club up front.
I am wondering if Bowyer has his doubts about them. He has made some public comments in relation to his contract that don't sit right and they may be reflecting a deeper frustration on his part. I also felt he didn't look too engaged at the press conference, but I may have been influenced by his comments to the press and the fact his contract had not been signed to that point and saw something that wasn't there. But what he did say in the conference seemed to be from a not entirely happy manager - like the bit about overplaying Gallagher!
His body language just suggested he wasn't entirely happy. Did anybody else feel this?1 -
I want to draw a distinction between Bowyer signing a contract (as he is here till end of season anyway which isnt unusual) and us having a very thin team/squad at the moment, relying on academy players.0
-
Well if Bowyer signs imminently, that will make me happier, and I think it could loosen the blockage with incomings. It just has taken far too long but we are where we are.1

Southall said he spoke him about not leaving for another club. The smart money is either Cardiff or Huddersfield. That would have been mid November. 3 months ago.
The take over was announced at the end of November.
It received EFL approval in the first week of January.
If you number 1 priority was to get the incumbent manager to sign a new contract, why has it taken over 90 days to actually offer a contract? That appears to be not actually be acceptable to Bowyer?
I used the word "stinks" last night, which was probably to strong, but something doesn't add up to me.
It's a negotiation.
Who knows the terms, but I'd suggest it's not straight forward.
They haven't been negotiating since October.
NB I expect a signing to be announced very soon.E by gum, going t'udders.

They must think we speak to a player/manager and they should just sign almost immediately on the dotted line.
We're Charlton you're not allowed to have time to think whether the deal is acceptable.
We're Charlton just sign right here and now and no you can't discuss it with you partner.
We're Charlton sign now, we don't care if you have issues with your kids and schools.
We're Charlton, we don't get if you'll have to move house or live in a hotel for 6 months, sign here & now.

Just out of curiosity how complex is it to sign a manager that wants to stay and the owners apparently want to keep.
They were all in the same vicinity at the weekend, we were told they would talk, they did, it's now 5 nights since then and we are still 'very very close' surely it's a pressing matter and they should be getting to the bottom of it rather than letting the days go by. Each to their own but if I had just bought a football club and truly wanted the manager to stay, I would make time for him and not leave that room until we come to an agreement. I don't understand the hold up2 -

It takes as long as it needs to take, not as long as you want it to take - surely?6 -
Will be happy once Bowyer signs - surprised how long it has dragged on for.

Have you been able to see many of his games? I've not heard of him, not that that matters.NapaAddick said:Covered End said:I've been told we've agreed terms for Harry Toffolo.
Honestly, I think this is awesome, if true. This and Madisson are the kinds of signings we should be doing, imo. The best young players in the division below us. The price is right and big potential upside. Really hope this happens. If we get both of these players, I count this as a really good January window for incomings. Best by far in the 4.5 seasons I've been following.0
