    Only just realised that Steve Gallen isnt the man I've always thought he was

    I always thought he was a very good Striker for Queens Park Rangers in the 90s yet that was his brother Kevin!!

    i thought the same until you just said that.
    It was only @Athletico Charlton saying he'd never heard of him that made me question it

    No, we could have got more in but there was someone from the venue keeping an eye on the numbers.

    Well, that's motivating me to stop doing paid work and type up what happened.

    you got to go last year because no-one else wanted to go, there was a reason for that - Gobbinson was the guest.

    Biggest news of the evening and I haven’t even checked that I am allowed to post this is that our present owner is actually pronounced Ro-Lond...

    No wonder the guy hates us, we’ve been saying his name wrong the entire time.

    Owww I’m so embarrassed.

    It's why Katty Meire always called him "the owner" because the domme mensen (us) would not understand if she pronounced Rrrro-Lon properly.

    Interesting, of course getting your number 1 or 2 target also depends in how realistic they were in the first place. I can't imagine Bowyer being the sort to target someone who was a 1 in 100 shot.

    Part one

    Lee Bowyer (LB) on coming back to Bromley Addicks

    "It was a lot easier last year as Karl did all the talking"

    Steve Gallen's (SG) role

    Heads up a team of 4 scouts with one in the NW, SW, NE and SE plus himself. Use a Scout 7 datebase, which lots of clubs do, to record all this info. Been with club for 18 months. In months before window opens will finalise with LB and JJ what is needed eg if a centre forward will have six, seven or eight ranked targets.

    Will aim to get no.1 or No. 2 with a winger or centre back but harder with goalscorers but this summer all were 1s or 2s.

    Agents - had to learn to get along with them and now they are all my "friends". before this role had the usual low opinion of them but some are OK (ex-pros like Luke Young are usually more realistic. LY is Wes O'hoolihan's agent who was on trial with us for a week but we went with Ward instead, partly as Wes in now 36.

    SG said he and Lee were "emotionally and physically exhausted" by last Friday but pretty pleased with the business down. SG told LB that "all we've got to do now is win matches".

    Job now is to tie down the assets (Grant, Fosu, Page, Aribo, Philips) to longer contracts. This is something "rrow-lund" (both LB and SG referred to Duchatelet in this way, pronoucing it in what I assume is the Dutch manner) wants and LB and SG want.

    Agents an issue though as some telling the players they are world beaters when they aren't.

    Thanks @Henry Irving. Wasn't meaning to have a dig at anyone. Just frustrating not being at a meeting that I regularly attend & the next day just reading clique posts from those there.

    So you have another dig. You only had to sign up and you could have come, plenty of others did.

    He sat near me on Tuesday night. I didn't realise it was him until the second half.

    Part Three

    The play-offs and what's been learnt

    LB: "I don't want to name names but Josh Maginnes missed two headers in the first half of the first game"

    "If it had been Lyle Taylor he would have taken those chances"

    "Taylor is one chance, score", we're (now) defensively strong.

    LB praised Prately a lot as maybe not the best technical player but works very hard, wins the ball and plays it to a Charlton player.

    SG said last season that some teams saw us as a soft touch, not this year.

    LB said I demand a lot from the players, very physical.

    SG said players respect Lee as the manager, doesn't matter about the job title. Added agents did ask "is Lee going to stay as manager?"

    I dont want to name names.
    But i am gonna anyway haha

    Sounds like he wasnt disappointed to lose Big Josh

    A little bit harsh on Josh, Lyle will miss chances as well. Agreed about the physicality, we were definitely soft last season, KR tended to bring in "nice" players

    he hasn't, hence why we haven't won enough games.
