Reading the BBC report, I think Roland blinked. Apologies can't cut and paste link onto here with crap phone.Gravesend_Addick said:My guess is that Bowyer was always going to sign a new deal , but quite rightly was trying to get the best deal possible for himself. Roland issued that ridiculous statement to force Bowyer''s hand & Bowyer blinked first0 -

Ah right my bad Muttley. Head was a bit gone still when I read that.MuttleyCAFC said:
I meant the current, well written non ranting piece confirming Bowyer has signed.Braziliance said:
That statement was straight from the horse's mouth mateMuttleyCAFC said:What is telling is it is obvious Roland didn't write the piece on the website.
Also fair play to RedHenry and whoever else it was who called it by sharing their information. Appreciate that1 -

I have no idea how the communications are run at the club, so I'm assuming it's done via a PR agency. If our nutty professor wants to cut costs I suggest he starts with this mob.0

Roland heard I was leaving and knew that he could sell the club for more with me around saying it was worth £77.5M. So he signed Bowyer to keep me here.

100%, they never wanted to use their own money and are a waste of space. They will never buy us.CharltonByBlood said:

After yesterday's moronic outburst, could we read into this that a takeover could still be imminent? Why else would Bowyer sign without being given assurances ?1

Ain't that the truth! And Roland's only going up his own arse in charge of himself - bring in the men in white coats.We're not going anywhere with Roland in charge.1 -
Imagine the celebrations as a side on the crest of a wave having just won promotion manages to keep its rising star of a manager days before he walks out on them by offering him a rolling one-year contract

Depends what you're definition of a contract is.Bowyer said he received a contract offer from the club on the 3rd April, that was 11 weeks ago.0 -
I wonder if Bowyer, and not Roland, caved. Bowyer might have felt he just could not leave the fans in the lurch. I would believe that more than Roland coming to his senses, because he has never done that once.4

Yes, Bowyer definitely "caved" when Roland played his master stroke of doubling the offer to Lee to £400k paNapaAddick said:I wonder if Bowyer, and not Roland, caved.

From where negotiations were last week, I reckon they just changed the length of contract.NapaAddick said:I wonder if Bowyer, and not Roland, caved.

Bowyer wanted at least 2 years, naturally - he's trying to build something here.
Duchatelet wouldn't accept any long term financial liability, in case he needed to fire Bowyer or prospective buyers wanted their own man.
The compromise: the rolling 1 year contract.
Everybody is happy for now. And a rolling contract for Bowyer always gives him 12 months ahead or compensation if he's fired.
And it can always be renegotiated with new owners.

That the key point - anyone coming in can simply extend it. Which is great.Oggy Red said:

Oh sorry, I did not hear about the £400k. I woke up to 30 pages of posts. Is that official?Henry Irving said:

Our entire communications department is 4 people. I suspect with this madness, they are among the most overworked lot in our club.roseandcrown said:

Last word, from Lee Bowyer himself:
“Negotiations, it is what it is."

Nice spelling of focused.1

So he was being offered £200k? Jesus. Some L1 managers make that. I thought the offer was probably bad, not not THAT bad.2
