    I'll phrase it differently: which members of staff were promised bonuses, how were the promises presented, what targets were met, and when were they supposed to receive the extra money? Answers to all these questions would make the story much more visceral for me. I'm sure RD is letting his employees down but I'd like to know exactly how.

    My understanding is that it covers all full-time CAFC staff at The Valley, was given in writing, and was payable on July 31st. There is no dispute the targets were met, he just won’t pay.
    Oh shit

    This bad publicity is really making him look like a incompetent fool; hopefully the petulant boaby's ego takes a hit as a result. I love the idea of him squirming.

    I can't help but think that old Yellowtooth is either incredibly vindictive or incredibly stupid (quite possibly both). "The club is undergoing a review to reduce running costs. This is to make the costs more bearable for any potential new owner". There is so much wrong with this that it actually beggars belief.

    Roly, the reason that you can't sell is that you want Championship money for a failing League One club. You've over priced it. No-one with any sanity would pay what you are asking. It doesn't need you to steal £10k from staff, it needs you to wipe £10m from the asking price. Do you know what? In a strange way, I'm almost half-glad that no-one has bought us, because I wouldn't want our next custodian to be daft enough to pay what you are asking. Just think for a minute (if you can), would any potential new owner want to save £10k 3/ 6d or would they rather take over a business which had the on-going goodwill of the staff? The more I think about it, the more I think that you are a Grade A Dunce.

    I was eating my crisps at my desk as a show of solidarity with the Charlton employees and tried to flick a crumb off the screen of my iPhone and it posted the full stop

    There's a great idea there in the making for CARD...

    Remember the Linekar Walker's crisps advert? All I can remember is an old joke flavour 'Salt 'n' Seamen (after Garry Seamen- can't remember what Linekar's flavour was). Anyway, if someone in the design team at CARD could come up with the packaging for a 'Vinger Piss' flavour and send him a packet/or each staff member at the Valley, that would be a great publicity stunt. I'm not sure anyone would actually want to eat a packet of Vinegar Piss crisps but heh?! There are other variations on a theme.

    One other thought - to send stuff to Roland (and B20 already know his address), send stuff recorded delivery. I think it costs about £6 for Europe. I'm sure the codger would be delighted to receive a pack of his fave Vinegar Piss crisps!!!

    From El-desko to alfresco, as all the staff go out on the pitch to have a picnic.

    I was thinking similar but along the lines of the old kellog's cereal variety pack - perhaps the hotel breakfast would welcome his own cereal brand?

    I'd assume anyone working in those conditions and who had an apparently written promise reneged on would have to be looking for another job.
    And if they leave I would imagine there would be grounds for a constructive dismissal case.
    It beggars belief that the behaviour of Victorian mill owners is coming back in 2018. That a boss is able to bully his workers in this way with no apparent quick remedy is scandalous.
    I feel for those workers and hope Duchatelet goes as soon as possible.
    What will be left though when he's gone?

    Back to the 70's stuff. Throw toilet rolls on the pitch or rechargeable torches for staff to use in the winter.
  • I would suggest that for those going to the game, they at least boycott any rubbish bins in the stadium.

    Even if I try really hard to ignore your calling of Gary Lineker, “Linekar”, I can’t not call you out on “Garry Seamen”, where the fudge did you rustle that one up from?
