Between expecting automatic promotion and thinking the club doesn't need Ricky Holmes, Bowyer is either trying for some sort of completely transparent rallying cry or is completely deluded. Either way, I fear he is going to find this season incredibly difficult.Scoham said:0 -
Or as he said we can't pay the wages Holmes expects and as he didn't say he wasn't very much missed at the Training Ground when he left.SDAddick said:

None of the triallists will travel Saturday but they all know where they stand. What the fuck does that mean.
Some of the news the club issue to fans might aswel be written in fucking Swahili. Pathetic4 -
What isn’t?LargeAddick said:0 -
It means "If the takeover happens we will buy better players. If the takeover does not happen, the triallists are in."2

Robinson also signed another of his 'exs'. Samir Carruthers on loan from the Blades .. seems Wilder and Robomouth have a good relationshipMoo said:Big Grudge match when Ricky and KR turn up. Both dumped us.

Turning down Holmes when money for wages is as tight as it’s ever been I can understand.SDAddick said:

Expectation of automatic promotion... delusional.
Seriously think people are underestimating just how weak our squad is this year. Bottom two is far more likely than top two.2 -

He's hardly going to publicly highlight each and every weakness in the squad, tell the players they haven't got a chance - and throw in the towel before the season starts.

I'm staggered at the lack of activity this week.9

On Holiday with a Sheffield United Scout, said Holmes didn’t play for some off field issues. I’m not saying anything for liable reasons.Callumcafc said:My reaction to this is that Chris Wilder is an utter knob. Why buy our best player if you had no intention of playing him?
Feels a bit like Parker going to Chelsea all over again, only it's to Sheffield bloody United.1 -
That means that we want to sign all 3 of them but the situation at the club at the moment means we can’t so they need to wait until Bowyer is given the all clear to.cafc4life said:None of the triallists will travel Saturday but they all know where they stand. What the fuck does that mean.

How about something like, “Everyone knows preparations have not been ideal with the uncertainty around the takeover and we have lost some good players from last year’s team and the current injuries don’t help us either. I haven’t been able to make all the signings I had hoped for, but I have faith in the lads we have here and, although it’ll be a tough season, if we stick together and work hard we can be competitive and we have to think we have a shot of making the playoffs.”
It’s realistic not defeatist to acknowledge top 2 is beyond us. Doesn’t mean we have to believe we can achieve nothing this season. I doubt you’ll hear mangers at other clubs with no realistic chance of automatic promotion declaring they ‘“expect” it. Why should we expect it? Just because we’re Charlton, even though we’ll have one of the smallest squads in the division?
One right back, one left back - both injury prone. One goalkeeper with any kind of first team experience. One fit wide man. And the very real possibility we’ll start the first game of the season with a front pair comprising two youngsters currently under police investigation and subs bench that would make your average crèche look world weary.
If KR was still here, after the summer we’ve just had, and was saying he expects automatic promotion, he’d be getting call all sorts on here, and none of it complimentary.

The Aussies are faltering so not them & LB has already said he knows his budget & who he can bring in. Pretty foolish imo if you are letting players train with you & letting them think you will be signing them. If I was one of "the 3" I'd be looking for another club & sharpish before its too late.1 -

You can only expect him to say it his way.
Those of us who follow every detail, every breath and sigh from the club know what you mean though.
But even so, I can't find fault right now with Bowyer's upbeat and positive way of trying to instill a strong mentality in his players.

All clear from RD, at the moment he is the one who holds the power and the one making decisions financially. Something is happening in the background, Golfie, we just have to be more patient. It’s tough, I know, but Bowyer would have just said we are not signing them if that was the case.golfaddick said:

The wage bill must be drastically reduced from last season, dont think it makes any difference to that belgian fool if another players wages are off the list. Hes striping us up and doesnt give a shit.Airman Brown said:

If Ajose leaves I would hope we'd replace his wages on another striker.....not one of the "3" . With Vetokele currently injured we only have Taylor who has scored in this division if Ahose goes. It will be akin to last season in relation to letting strikers go on rhe eve of the transfer window............just worst.Airman Brown said:

Never go full RolandThe Red Robin said:Roland has gone full Roland. We're fucked.

If going “full Roland” ala Standard Liege is a precursor to him naffing off then I can live with it.0

Full Roland will be this time next year if he's still here. Most of the squad are out of contract next summer, so we'd have a squad made up almost entirely academy players.0
