Why is everyone so down , we have new owners and they’re seriously wealthy , wait till the end of the next window , ignore Airman and his doom mongering prophecies , sit back and enjoy the ride
I am new to this forum. I realise emotions are high particularly given our dreadful start to the season. However, I can't believe the negativity on here at the moment. I certainly hope MA doesn't read what's on here. We have to be realistic about where our club is. We will not be attractive to a lot of managers, for various reasons. We have been poor for two or three seasons, have a squad which needs time and work and with owners some of whom have previous in pulling the trigger then any new manager...or head coach...comes in with a target already on his back. MA'S job will be a lot more difficult if the fans are against him, and that negativity is bound to spread on to the pitch. To use an overused phrase, we are where we are. Let's get behind the new manager, behind the players and hope for the best.
I won't call for them to go yet but from the outset this seems to be following the all to familiar death spiral of ineptitude of charlatans and chancers that we've been run by over the last 10 years or so.
I admire those who are still positive about things but I just can't see it. Until we're run by a serious group of people I can't see the fortunes of our club changing for the better. I don't know what the alternative is but I don't think this latest group is it.
To be fair to the poster we now have the team Roland set us up for all those years ago, a team full of kids whilst waitng for that one gem to come through so we can sell for massive money in todays stupid market. If we dont get promoted this year, Miles, Fraser and CBT will go and we will literally be screwed and I can see us going down. We are fast becoming a forgotten club like a Bradford/Oldham with a merry go round of poor managers. We have new bunch of owners who have chose to go down the youth and cheap route of players which will get us no where.
As always I hope I am wrong and these owners will see in January or next summer what is required to get to compete at the top end of the league however we have been saying that every year for the last 10 years and its incredibly boring now.
Glad i'm not the only one who sees this. I'm not convinced there are any key decision makers at the club who have the club's interests before there own. None of them would bat an eyelid if they all walked away with us in League Two. Appreciate it's difficult to sell the club on for a profit without it succeeding which of course makes sense but its the method being used to try and achieve that which is currently ringing alarm bells as it's not going to work.
Just in case people need a reminder for the thousandth time why some Charlton fans are a bit negative and down with it all , we are a football club currently in our worst footballing run ever, at the same time as our nearest and dearest are on their best run ever .
we are in our 10th in 15 seasons of third tier shit in the previous 73 years we had 4 seasons in the third tier palace are in their 11th season on the spin in the top flight scum are in their 12th in 14 seasons of second tier football
none of the above looks like changing for the better soon , THAT’S WHY SOME FANS ARE NEGATIVE AND DOWN ON CHARLTON
of course everyone should get behind the team and roar em on but if that genuinely made any difference Pompey wouldn’t still be down here and Leeds would never have gotten down here , so I don’t think Terry fuckwit saying we’re great , smashing super online will get us promoted or fat Cnut Dave saying we’re fucking shit will stop us going up either .
this forum gets more depressing and I feel very sorry for a lot of you. Talk about glass half empty, most of you seem to have totally drained your glass and want to share your misery.

I hope Appleton, Methven, Scott, Warrick, Keohane, Leneghan (sp) and the players do read Charlton life. They urge our noise and support when it suits them, so they can jolly well get with the fans point of view too. I especially hope Michael Appleton reads every word being said about him on Charlton life, assuming he can actually read, I reckon he might be able to read because there are actual words tattooed onto his skin.
They have had their reasonable run haven’t they? Their choice of three managers now, a transfer window, decent initial enthusiasm from the fans. And what has all that got us? Two wins and eight defeats. What would be the pitchfork threshold?

Is your name Justin, or do you live in Swanley? We need to know.

Crack on. We’re already a laughing stock so wanting owners out within two months would just be seen par for the course for Charlton Athletic. Some people want Appleton out. We’re a joke of a club and some of the fan base is too.
I got dogs abuse for saying things under Roland were not as dreadful as some made our. Absolute dogs abuse
since then it’s been somewhat topsy turvy to say the least but at least we still have a club yet we now have new owners who are “promising” to change our fortunes but because of a handful of dodgy results it’s time to reach for the razor blades again! Some people had their agenda about the new gaffer typed out before he was even announced and just cut & pasted the name in. Even if it had been Guardiola people would be negative about it.
it’s exhausting supporting this club at the best of times but the amount of doom mongers are seriously sapping any enjoyment that is left away.
what’s done is done so how about we put the fucking moaning in the bin, support the team and the staff, and play our part in “supporting” the club.
It isn’t a handful of dodgy results, it is sacking the manager too. As for supporting the staff, I doubt everybody wants to support staff member Tony Keohane.

C'mon Seth. I'm as sceptical of them as the next man, yourself excluded because you are beyond that, but you can't seriously be suggesting they have had a reasonable run can you? They have only just overseen their first window in full charge and it's far too early to judge most of the signings and whether they will be enough to propel us up the league. I think they have made mistakes in recruitment but who doesn't. It's far too early to form an opinion of how things might change behind the scenes. A reasonable time to judge would be at the end of the season.
And who are these three managers they have chosen? If you are including Pearce then you are sillier than I thought.

It's Mr Methven to you - show some deference...
at least he has given him his correct name instead of Methane or Methhead etc as is usual.

I am including Pearce, silly me. At my age I don’t want end of season judgement day to be still in this division or relegated. I don’t want to die supporting a third division club. So I am completely on board with Michael Appleton winning games and getting us promoted this season. Wouldn’t you like that too?

I for one have never called him Methane, or Methhead, but in the past I have called him Methadone.
