Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense.
Yes, we need to sign players, but ideally they would be good enough.
Let me give you an example: ‘Sign a striker’ *Club signs Bonne*
‘No. Not that one.’ What’s the problem?
If it was ‘Sign ANY striker. No not that one’ you might have a point.
We all know Bonne is shit. Poor example. Most on here, like me will have never seen some of these players play, possibly never heard of them. Because they’re not household names, they’re already shit! If they’re shite they’re shite. I for one won’t judge until they’ve had a good few games.
They might never "have a good few games"
That's the issue
A bunch of unproven, inexperienced young players will not enable our own unproven, inexperienced young players to force our way into the Top 6.
That's the issue. Oh, plus we've spent about 25p and a packet of polos.....
such a negative spin it’s a joke, I wonder why some of you even bother with Charlton.
SPIN ???!
Methven uses SPIN
I am within my rights to point out the bleeding obvious. You may be happy with getting worse season on season.
We were promised money would be spent. Boasts of "Billionaires" and a desire that CAFC only makes sense in the upper half of the Championship.
Do you think ANY of their actions add up to supporting their claims currently?
I don't.
But sit there praying for a miracle if you like.
Can you find me where Methven said money would be spent ? ( some has clearly ) but I’d also like to read that.. I remember him saying we’d be run sensibly with a good senior management team. That’s what a lot of people wanted, we’ve signed good players now we have to wait and see what they can do once we get a manager in and a few players back fit.
You’re right, according to his sales doc his plan is to slash costs by £7-8m and gain promotion. Cloud cuckoo but he’ll spin it out until we all realise we’ve been done over. I mean step back for a moment. The worst start to a season for decades, the first team to sack their manager this season and signed a load of young players with a handful of senior games between them. I know it’s hard to admit things are going so badly wrong so early and hope is already fading of promotion but don’t sugar coat it. Friends who support other teams are messaging me saying WTF. I think we need to wake up to reality.
WHAT SALES DOC
The one that’s been seen by trusted people who care for this club. I know it’s easier to discredit it rather than wake up to the fact that this lot are no good for us. I know we don’t deserve this bad luck but don’t attack the people who care about this club.
But if it's that bad and the people care for the club that much, they have to share it. If no-one shares it, there's no point referring to it, you may as well refer to the zodiac signs or tarot cards, or a mischievous little green leprechaun that only you can see and hear, for all it's worth.
Because the person who shared it with the people who are Charlton through and through didn’t want to reveal who leaked it. It’s fine, put your fingers in your ears and carry on shouting I don’t want to hear bad news. When people get scammed they will do anything but admit that they were taken in by it all.
Bullshit, I've not been scammed by anyone, and if anything I'm asking to be in on the supposed bad news by demanding that the sales doc be out in public.
You haven't seen what is in this document either so you're literally just taking someone else's word for it anyway, maybe you've been taken in by someone with an agenda, who knows?
No, you’re probably right. Airman and Cardinal Sin have taken me in with their special agenda. Makes sense.
You seen the document.....?
No, but some people I trust have and have shared a summary of its contents. Hopefully that’s not too confusing for you.
Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense.

Have we bollox. We've basically signed anyone mad enough to put pen to paper. Who worth their salt would really show up for an outfit with no manager?
This will be a shit show of cataclysmic proportions, even for us!
Iv seen so many other fans say they’re jealous about the business we’ve done but Charlton fans are just never happy.
Do you think these signings now give us enough to get promoted @yann897 ?
I think a lot of it will come down to getting Leaburn, Fraser and Camara back fit personally and no one really knows how the new lads will get on with the exception of Tanai Watson who we’ve seen play. But what it does do is gives us options and a squad.
Keep taking the tablets.

Wow, are you really calling into question Airman who fought for this club to return to Valley. This reminds me of when Southall first took over and people didn’t want to hear what was common knowledge within the football community, that they were wrong uns.
I think it’s been clear that the squad lacks leaders on the pitch, never mind the age profile. Has that been addressed with these signings, does anyone think?
Imagine how many leaders we'd have in our squad if we'd waited another few years for Peter Varney to finally put a successful takeover together 😍
I think it’s been clear that the squad lacks leaders on the pitch, never mind the age profile. Has that been addressed with these signings, does anyone think?
No, not even close. I don't think we have one vocal leader at the club.
Before the season started I was optimistic we could get top6, now I am about 99% sure we won't be near the plays offs. Mid table at best and probably another season wasted.
From what started out as a positive transfer window has ended very shoddy, we are about on par with last season squad depth and strength wise. It wasn't good enough then, it won't be now.
Already thinking about the teams I wouldn't mind coming up from League 2 for an away day and Championship to come down
I think it’s been clear that the squad lacks leaders on the pitch, never mind the age profile. Has that been addressed with these signings, does anyone think?
Careful Airman. You ask sensible questions like that and you will be pigeon-holed as one of our “sad bunch of followers”.

Sooner the Window closes the better, then its the joy of waiting for January - Find the Transfer periods each year brings out the worst in people, as its the biggest time for expectations off the pitch

That literally doesn’t mean anything. Do you know what you’re trying to say?
Just got out of the cinema, film Number 2, have we signed anyone?
No one yet, but Cawley has tweeted that we are close to signing JCH, Lyle Taylor, Ladapo, Kevin Lisbie, Shaun Bartlett, Darren Bent, Jonatan Johansson, Tresor Kandol, Andy Gray, Chris Iwelumo and Alessia Russo.
We have surprisingly released the rest of the team from their contracts but the new manager, Alan Carr, is confident we can get the crowd on their feet.

Charlie and his minions giving us all false hope with made up spin. A few protests will put the pressure on him and the investors will sell up quicker rather than this being something that drags on for years.
Ridiculous… … we have a sad bunch of followers ( not calling them supporters)

Well then I suppose we’ll all have to just wait and see how it plays out. Like we did with Roland. Like we did with ESI. Like we did with Sandgaard.
I am always surprised that so many fans are able to look at some stats, compare that to the age of the player and be able to judge the quality of a player. To be able to do this having never seen the player in question even kick a ball! It really is astonishing. How they get an insight to the character of the individual is also a mystery. Maybe they can see shadows in a photograph, or is it all in the eyes? It is surprising that Clubs don’t employ them instead of wasting time and money on scouts and employing professional and experienced football people to do the job. A pity no one told Sandgaard it really is that easy.
I think it’s been clear that the squad lacks leaders on the pitch, never mind the age profile. Has that been addressed with these signings, does anyone think?
Airman in saying something negative about the club shocker
To be fair he isnt wrong there... Im not overly fussed about the Age of the players we've signed - But it would have been good to target a few players who have been Captains at previous clubs for example.
Of course only one (Dobson) can wear the armband, but in previous years, we've had individuals who come to the club having had that responsibility elsewhere, meaning we've had leaders all over the pitch.

The one that’s been seen by trusted people who care for this club. I know it’s easier to discredit it rather than wake up to the fact that this lot are no good for us. I know we don’t deserve this bad luck but don’t attack the people who care about this club.
But if it's that bad and the people care for the club that much, they have to share it. If no-one shares it, there's no point referring to it, you may as well refer to the zodiac signs or tarot cards, or a mischievous little green leprechaun that only you can see and hear, for all it's worth.
Because the person who shared it with the people who are Charlton through and through didn’t want to reveal who leaked it. It’s fine, put your fingers in your ears and carry on shouting I don’t want to hear bad news. When people get scammed they will do anything but admit that they were taken in by it all.
Bullshit, I've not been scammed by anyone, and if anything I'm asking to be in on the supposed bad news by demanding that the sales doc be out in public.
You haven't seen what is in this document either so you're literally just taking someone else's word for it anyway, maybe you've been taken in by someone with an agenda, who knows?
No, you’re probably right. Airman and Cardinal Sin have taken me in with their special agenda. Makes sense.
You seen the document.....?
No, but some people I trust have and have shared a summary of its contents. Hopefully that’s not too confusing for you.
Is that the one that says we would shut the east stand and the person that posts pictures of the west stand crowd every home game, from the east stand that's clearly not closed?
I don't doubt it's existence, I do doubt that it actually constitutes a working plan. As nothing that has been shared from it has come true and most if it would be impossible anyway.
Shut up with this shit. It does my fucking head in. It doesn’t even make sense.
Yes, we need to sign players, but ideally they would be good enough.
Let me give you an example: ‘Sign a striker’ *Club signs Bonne*
‘No. Not that one.’ What’s the problem?
If it was ‘Sign ANY striker. No not that one’ you might have a point.
We all know Bonne is shit. Poor example. Most on here, like me will have never seen some of these players play, possibly never heard of them. Because they’re not household names, they’re already shit! If they’re shite they’re shite. I for one won’t judge until they’ve had a good few games.
They might never "have a good few games"
That's the issue
A bunch of unproven, inexperienced young players will not enable our own unproven, inexperienced young players to force our way into the Top 6.
That's the issue. Oh, plus we've spent about 25p and a packet of polos.....
such a negative spin it’s a joke, I wonder why some of you even bother with Charlton.
SPIN ???!
Methven uses SPIN
I am within my rights to point out the bleeding obvious. You may be happy with getting worse season on season.
We were promised money would be spent. Boasts of "Billionaires" and a desire that CAFC only makes sense in the upper half of the Championship.
Do you think ANY of their actions add up to supporting their claims currently?
I don't.
But sit there praying for a miracle if you like.
Can you find me where Methven said money would be spent ? ( some has clearly ) but I’d also like to read that.. I remember him saying we’d be run sensibly with a good senior management team. That’s what a lot of people wanted, we’ve signed good players now we have to wait and see what they can do once we get a manager in and a few players back fit.
You’re right, according to his sales doc his plan is to slash costs by £7-8m and gain promotion. Cloud cuckoo but he’ll spin it out until we all realise we’ve been done over. I mean step back for a moment. The worst start to a season for decades, the first team to sack their manager this season and signed a load of young players with a handful of senior games between them. I know it’s hard to admit things are going so badly wrong so early and hope is already fading of promotion but don’t sugar coat it. Friends who support other teams are messaging me saying WTF. I think we need to wake up to reality.

Wow, are you really calling into question Airman who fought for this club to return to Valley. This reminds me of when Southall first took over and people didn’t want to hear what was common knowledge within the football community, that they were wrong uns.
So because of the past, they can't have an agenda now?
I've said time and again I respect what Airman did for the club, but I cannot hide the fact that I think people have wanted to besmirch this ownership group before they got in the door, and having close links to rival bids for the club, leads me to question the motives.
Well do let us know when the new owners come through with anything they said.
I've a feeling a few on here are annoyed that the Club has done as much business as it has today having predicted little would happen. They're clearly unimpressed by what come through the door.
I only hope the incomings they're writing off don't turn out to be the flops they expect them to be. And I also hope that if they work out well, that they'll actually be pleased about that.
Being proved right or wrong isn't something that personally bothers me overly much, but the fortunes of Charlton in winning games of football does.
This window hasn't got me thinking we're about to enter the promotion mix and I said earlier we still lack leaders, but if anyone is thinking of protesting on the back of it, good luck with that. I won't be.

Number 2, have we signed anyone?
"See, you dont need to fund an academy when you can simply loan-in the player season on season".
The seed has been sown......
Before the season started I was optimistic we could get top6, now I am about 99% sure we won't be near the plays offs. Mid table at best and probably another season wasted.
From what started out as a positive transfer window has ended very shoddy, we are about on par with last season squad depth and strength wise. It wasn't good enough then, it won't be now.
Already thinking about the teams I wouldn't mind coming up from League 2 for an away day and Championship to come down
What's it going to jeopardise?
The new owners are already in, so who's going to get in trouble for sharing it, what's the big secret?
Until we see the document and digest it for ourselves, it's just a rumour
but then again what club is going to look at him and his performances for us and want him🤦🏻♂️
We have surprisingly released the rest of the team from their contracts but the new manager, Alan Carr, is confident we can get the crowd on their feet.

It is surprising that Clubs don’t employ them instead of wasting time and money on scouts and employing professional and experienced football people to do the job.
A pity no one told Sandgaard it really is that easy.
I'll take good players over "leaders" any day. When you win no one talks about needing leaders.
Of course only one (Dobson) can wear the armband, but in previous years, we've had individuals who come to the club having had that responsibility elsewhere, meaning we've had leaders all over the pitch.
When there's f*8k all positive it's pretty much all you can say.
