Something changed. In the beginning he was happy to spunk money on dubious spends, then suddenly he stopped. It is obvious that a big reason we missed out on a striker was we had to free up money elsewhere first but couldn't. It begs the question why we brought in so many midfielders if we knew it was spending all the budget. I would say it is either because Garner is an idiot or the budget changed. My money is on the latter.
Now I think Garner was not a disasterous appointment, but a big issue with it is he is less able to be openly critical in the same way as Adkins. It is about being more willing to toe the line. I know some will disagree with me but I don't think we are that far off with the squad. We could improve defensively but a decent striker for the level would make a significant difference to us. I think there are two issues, one I know, and the first is Sandgaard doesn't understand why. The other is whether Sandgaard has the money or indeed has decided not to spend. I don't know which of those applies.
Has Sandgaard “suddenly stopped”? I assume he’s still providing pretty significant funding or we would be heading towards administration now.
From recent rumours it may be Raelynn doing the funding.
She must have serious money then.
Doctor shacked up with huge producer of medical relief products. If that's not a license to print money I don't know what is!
I understand that, contrary to appearances, they are NOT a couple.
I was in the Directors Box for the Cambridge match and sat right behind them. Judging by the way she was hanging off him and showing affection 😘 I would say that they are most definitely a couple
Seems a bit inappropriate, but it was a boring game I suppose...
Bearing in mind that the academy is part-funded by grants and Valley Gold, £140k would be a sizeable slice of Charlton's commitment.
Any idea how close we are to exceeding the 60% wages as a proportion of turnover rule under the EFL Salary Cost Management Protocol?
If we're forecasting we might be within 5% of it, we might be under close scrutiny and in danger of having a transfer embargo imposed.
With TS having overestimated turnover, it might go part way to explaining some of the wage cost cutting and why he's taking advice on pricing now. Just a thought.

Don’t think the academy is part of any calculation.

Well anyway, as the rule is only applicable to 'player' wages, it wouldn't be a reason to cut other costs. I was just curious to know how much headroom there was under it for future signings, that's their wages, not their transfer fees, as Garner has spoken of the need to offload before bringing in before IIRC.
Disgraceful if true. Why should the Academy have to carry the can for Sandgaards ineptitude and failure? How much did it cost him to hire and then fire the likes of Roddy, Mumford and Jokat???

Who else is gonna pay the bills? Like it or not, hes on the line to fund everything and clearly nothing is safe from cut backs.
One of the issues JSandgaard, not THE issue. I am really staggered by the private and public displays of naivety. Looking for scapegoats me thinks when the failings are a combination of their own making and economic climate. The former can still be adjusted to improve the situation, but track record thus far suggests the capabilities are not within the club to make that happen.
It’s only a couple of weeks since Leo Rifkind made ill advised comments which were quickly dismissed as not representing the views of the club and now one of Sandgaard’s sons is piping up. When do we just accept that this is really what the clubs leadership thinks of us?

one of the reasons that a club owner should never be on twitter. you're bound to get abuse so then you and your friends and family become defensive and strike out.

The odd thing about this one is that the tweet wasn’t critical. It said a lot of people had worked hard to make this happen.
These people are so stupid and they have no common sense about what works and what doesn't work. It is minimal patience, emotional intelligence and self awareness.
Keep the whinging and moaning private.
The more you shut up, the better Charlton play and win, the more bums will be on seats.

Is he pissed maybe?
Not sure what JSandgaard is trying to achieve by being triumphant about that.
