    Shall we state the bleedin obvious. We are starting a "thorough recruitment process" with five days left in the transfer window.

    What player in their right mind is going to want to sign a contract here when we don't have a manager. 
    And there is the crux of the issue. 
    Another excuse for this transfer window not being successful. 
  • Might as well shut this thread down for another year.
  • Think of all the money we have spent paying up manager contracts over the last 10 years. 

    Must be worth millions combined.

    Shame we can’t get a stable set up and spend our money on the squad instead.

    The above compensation would easily cover the fee for the striker we need.
  • Would love to know how the club was sold to Camara and Taylor. Both seemingly had links from clubs higher up the pyramid and chose us. Surely, "We'll be getting some young premier league players in on loan in the last few days of the window" can't have been it
    Could add staff like Andy Scott to that too. He looks to have been mugged off twice.

    When he joined in Jan he said ‘he wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t funds to spend’ before proceeding to spend zero transfer fees and deliver one of our worst transfer windows for years (Todd Kane, Kilkenny, Bonne etc).

    This time round he claims he gave up a good job to come back…but why? It’s very hard to see what he’s come back for when we once again look to be scrapping around in the last min loan / free transfer bucket with very little sign that there really are funds to bring in the quality we need.

    Something definitely doesn’t feel right & CM looks to have mislead a lot of people (staff, investors and fans that bought season tickets thinking our billionaire owners would go for it).

    One week left to show us differently I guess 🤞 
    5 days to go until this groups mouthpiece Methven has some explaining to do.

    Interestingly, we've still yet to hear a single word from any of the main players and I wonder if we ever will.

    We have NO money to make our squad better.

    The club is LOSING money which is why Gobby Methven has already made it clear that profits from player sales will balance the books.

    So, fans should question what these clowns plan for the rest of the window that ends in 5 days.

    Fans should then question how much Methven and his SMT are paying themselves as they destroy our club.

    They have no money and no plan and these leeches will be gone when the yanks stop paying the bills (I reckon about Xmas)

    If the modern game has taught us anything it’s that cash is king.  If we offer a player big wages they will come manager or no manager.

    "I'm really excited to be joining Charlton Athletic, and really looking forward to working under <insert name of new manager> who I've admired for a long time."

    We are the same club that have the SMT 'leaking'  that we're on the edge of FFP, so I don't think we can be relying on that one. 

    And think about Prem loanees, something we were likely going to rely on. No club is going to give their most talented youngster to a team where they don't know who the manager is.

    I’m making a general point not one particularly aimed at us.  It’s one that should be in mind come end of the window when the owners come out with excuses.

    Interesting that DJ wasn’t mentioned but would be surprised if him going isn’t a possibility.
  • Surprised to see Payne as a potential departure

    So we wont have a single player here that we signed last summer

    Not surprised by any of the outs but I just don't understand how we can sign players when we have no manager , why would clubs loan us anyone?

    If Payne in the mix, a bit surprised tbh, as think he is a decent enough impact player from the bench with a midfielder’s eye for goal. Rest need to go elsewhere and very interested to see who on Earth Scott will think IS good enough?

    Maybe true for the guys who are at the end of their career . If you are young player who has aspirations you need to play, you want to come into a team that will suit your skills and a manager that wants you in his side.

    Wonder if Payne will go to Colchester 
  • Kirk
    Jaiyesimi
    Mcgrandles
    Payne

    All not good enough especially the top 2!!

    Think Payne won't have a shortage of League 2 sides that would see his signing as a coup. Mcgrandles will probably go up to Scotland or someone in League 1.

    I don't mind Payne leaving if we actually replace him with a better alternative(not another young player on loan).

    People posting positive things are because they've been told that by the owners.   They don't know anything.  It's what the owners want to spread. 

    Which is why take everything with a pinch of salt.....
    Skip load of salt, more like.

    You just know Kirk is finishing with 20 goals and assists or something like that if he joins Blackpool.

    Clearly not working for him here.

    I'd be glad to see the back of Payne. If you're relying on players like that to 'make an impact', then you're going nowhere

    This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Just hasn't worked for him here but I don't think he's totally awful as a player.
