    Dobos comments were very very interesting….well I think they were anyway.
    For what it’s worth, I still think things are going on behind the scenes……as I always have as a matter of fact.
    So, I’m going to remain glass half full for the time being.
    You may well be right. With the season over there is no reason for him not to be unequivocal and confirm he was going. But he wasn't and didn't confirm it.

    Quite possibly. Also possible that he has confidentiality agreements in place and simply can’t say anything. And, listening to the interview, I am hazarding a wild guess that he was pissed and could barely string too words together.

    Might be clutching at straws I took it from the Dobbo interview that there is a good chance he stays.

    I think if he was defiantly just going, he would have said unfortunately yes I have signed a contract and will be leaving, but he kept saying I can’t say anything and at the end I think he said something when touching upon it be the last we see of him, you never know in football.

    One time he was quite clear was when asked if Charlton could have done more and he quickly said yes.

    The main point with Dobson is HE went and signed a contract with another club he could and should have said I will wait till end of season before deciding ..like 99% of players do when their contracts are running out .. only two people to blame his advisor and Dobson himself 
    The only reason I think for him signing it, was it covered him if he got injured and would still pick up a wage.

    just listened to the podcast - clearly still lots going on behind the scenes to see if there's a way Dobson can stay (that's my take on it)

    by the sounds of it I think he wants to.

    let's see how it pan's out

    So potentially you are losing your job in 3 months, someone offers you a new job and you can start in 3 months and you say NO, I'll wait and see if they change their mind!?
    Ive heard some BS but that even beats anything @Redmidland has ever said. 
    Well possibly but it wasn’t an English team he signed up for. He’s gone very left field in going to Hungary, I doubt very much if GD would have gone long without an offer or two from league one if not a Championship club. You don’t see many players signing pre contracts just for security. It’s usually a step up. If they’ve offered him considerably more than he could expect in the U.K. then fair play but I don’t believe that. George I think was poorly advised and acted rashly.

    agreed - obviously the fact he was very cagey in that interview means things are going on behind the scenes.....otherwise he'd have spoken more freely and said 'yeah I'm off' etc

    hindsight is a wonderful thing

    Thoroughly dejected with the way things were going on the pitch. Thoroughly dejected with Appleton's management. Thoroughly dejected that he was valued highly enough by CAFC.

    I think he acted rashly whilst feeling very down about things.

    Now, it sounds like he'd like to stay if possible.
    If there was still a huge gap between him and CAFC, then I don't think he'd be talking this way, I think it would be a definite farewell.
    I think negotiations must be happening between CAFC and the Hungarian's, and the outcome will depend on those negotiations.

    Sometimes it's what isn't said that makes the difference, and listening to Dobbo there speaks volumes..."I can't really say too much"...next seasons captain has spoken...imo

    Charlton fucked up and so did George.

    He'll stay.

    *Edit, his Wiki page says he's now a Videoton player, he must be leaving.......

    I agree George owes us nothing. 
    Indeed for me he has created fond memories to lighten this dark time in our history.
