    Wasn't Marshall Bradford's player of the season the previous year when Bradford got to the play off final? It is quite possible he would be in a new manager's plans and strange that this decision would be made without any consultation. Unless there is something we don't know!

    Could be that Marshall doesn’t fancy hanging around to see whether he’ll be in the new manager’s plans, and has asked the club to let him go if an offer comes in.
    Perhaps for family reasons, he needs to go back up North.

    It won't be Brighton of course, but possibly Portsmouth? :smile:
    It's not being driven by Marshall.
    So who is driving him to north to Portsmouth then?

    Seriously though, Marshall showed what he can do in glimpses this season. Don't forget he didn't have much of a pre-season with the injury he sustained.

    To make decisions on the players careers, either new people are making them, RD's lackies or Murray must be. Who else? So it is either very close, or very far away. Heart says one, head says the other.
    That's what I am thinking, this suggests it is very close or very far away.

    All I am saying is that if a takeover is imminent, and the manager under the new owner is not known, surely decisions such as these are put on hold! Even if the player has fallen out with somebody. There seems to be some underlying information that cannot be shared with us which might explain things, but I can't see what it is other than Bowyer influencing this call!

    Unless Bowyer was asked to provide a list of players that should be leaving and a wish list of signings before his vacation. And the current and prospective owners have agreed that Marshall can go.

    Well that is both possible and interesting if true!

    Things seem to be happening in the background, re Bauer, Marshall and possibly Konsa moving on. It must be close to being done. Also Muir pictured in scarf etc.

    Has he already had his scarf above the head “it’s done” picture then? Or are you referring to the shrews game?
    The Shrews game. He would look a bit daft if it doesn't happen now.

    That’s possible. Apparently he was seen looking pretty angry when left out of the playoffs.
    To be honest I thought he deserved to play in the playoffs after Blackburn so I would be pissed off if I were him. Thought Bowyer changed it up too much last game against Shrewsbury IMHO. A couple of those loanees didn't give a toss

    I'm sticking with my 'Bowyer being given the job' line, which of course could easily be wrong. But he's the one who left him out of the playoffs, which must have been a real blow to Marshall's pride. I doubt LB would have the sway to put MM on the transfer list if he wasn't going to be the manager next season.

    Not convinced Murray would have the authority to get rid of a player in the absence of a manager. What if the an incoming manager rates Marshall?

    No, my money's on Bowyer already having the job.

    LB will be have a carp if he isn't offered the position.

    I have just spoken to Lee about the job and suggested that he seize the day. Well my exact words were carpe diem.


    I will get my oilskins.

    If Muir was aware of the importance of being seen with Scarfy - that's credit already to his understanding of the fan's universe.

    What ever is going on can not see Murray having the final say on this.

    This has come from new owners and the manager that will lead Charlton into 2018/2019 season. Now that could be Bowyer or not,i have afeeling that anew manager will come along with Bowyer playing another role with Charlton.

    You need a man that understands english football and has had years of experience plying his trade.
    Think Muir has picked his man and what is going on now are dealings which the new manager has agreed to.

    He brought him on, late in the second half for the last league game at Rochdale.

    I thought he looked in excellent form for his cameo role there and looked by far and away our most dangerous player.

    His omission from the play off games, appears to be a bit of a mystery. Bradford didn't seem to mind losing him from their successful side from the previous seaso, so I can only assume it was for non footballing reasons. Perhaps Bowyer's decision was similarly based?

    I believe Bowyer has said he'll be leaving if he isn't given the manager's job. They were lining up interviews for before Muir went back to Oz, so you're probably right that he has picked his man. I think it's Bowyer, but could easily be wrong.

    Stumbled across this piece earlier on A-League expansion in Australia. I wonder if our future sister club is in there somewhere.

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/25/fifteen-a-league-expansion-bids-confirmed-on-deadline-day

    The 15 bids
    ACT: Canberra
    New South Wales: South-West Sydney (Liverpool), Southern Expansion (Sutherland-St George Illawarra), Wollongong Wolves, Macarthur (Campbelltown)
    Queensland: Brisbane City, Gold Coast United, Western Pride/Ipswich
    South Australia: West Adelaide
    Tasmania: State-wide
    Victoria: Team 11 (South-East Melbourne), South Melbourne, Western Melbourne, Belgravia Leisure
    Western Australia: Fremantle City

    Because Gold Coast Utd was such a success last time? This despite a big population of Europeans. They struggled to get any sort of crowds in. Same will apply to Brisbane City. Roar don’t command a regular good crowd. The only recent success has been The Wanderer’s and I suspect that is very much a one off.

    Thanks James, put me down for my birthday then. I’d rather not have to show my birth certificate as evidence because I actually don’t feel that old.

    If That's Mondy 11th the date has already gone @catfordmorry

    Apologies, this is on the wrong thread ☹
    Sorry James, I misread your instructions. It’s the heat what done me.

    I brought my bright red CAFC jacket to wear whilst celebrating if the takeover had been announced when I was here.
    So if we meet you’ll be able to pick me out from a crowd.

    I don't have any knowledge of the takeover at all or know anyone ITK.....but I reckon it will be announced before the WC starts & Bowyer will be the manager.
