us old hands are used to and have become immune to the usual underachievement, it makes the occasional triumphs much more ecstatic and wonderful .. having said that though .. SANDY, cut the bullshit, get yer wallet out and start splashing the cash on some real quality players f f s !!
Against Plymouth just a few weeks ago we were the Dog's Bollocks now after a home draw and a lost plus a silent last day window no one is saying Dog's anymore !

During the 60 plus years I’ve supported Charlton, there have been worse times. The difference this time is I’m not sure I’ll still be around by the time things improve!
No , TS it seems has now decided not to invest the money needed to move the club forward. On the recent Trust survey they asked a question , describe the club in one word ? 'Shrinking' , seems to sum up the club. We are becoming an established 3rd division club. Depressing
It’s a slog at the moment, and last season was shocking, regardless of how you dress it up. For me, it feels like death by 1000 cuts over the last 10 years, temporarily relieved by a bit of ointment during Bowyer’s promotion season.
The club has been on a downward spiral since 2007.
Seeing the signing of Terrell Thomas, hammers home how far we’ve fallen. I’ve nothing against him, but he is a free agent, signed after deadline day in a summer where we’ve picked up a lot of other free agents from teams at or below our level. I just can’t excited about this club at the moment.

I am not positive about this season or the future however I have reached a point I never thought I would................. I don’t really care anymore.
Sadly that's how I'm starting to feel. Oh for a decent owner who can run the club in a professional way. I look at the likes of Palace ,QPR and Fulham and I think how come they are all being run better than us. Even millwall are a better run club than Charlton. I think it's going to take a new owner for the feel Good factor to return. Having said that I shall be there Saturday cheering on the team but with little enthusiasm I must admit.
I used to be apathetic but now I couldn't give a toss.
Seriously though, it is an odd feeling at the moment. Things have certainly gone downhill fast since the Plymouth game. It's not apathy though. It's frustration and disenchantment.

The window ending like it did it is plain to see that the club has missed a great opportunity to have a crack at promotion this year.
It all seems so shortsighted and in the grand scheme of things a £500k investment would have made all the difference imo.
Add to that the silly apparent "cost saving" reasons being given for some of the staffing decisions.
Such a shame to have gone from the high of the start of last season to what I think will now be a steady decline until TS finally gives up.
I would bet money BG will be gone before the season is out onto pastures new and tbh I wouldnt blame him
I read a lot of anger, annoyance, disenchantment, negativity and frustration but not indifference.

lack of ambition encourages apathy.
