    Either way when the takeover is done soon or not... whoever does take over surely should see how much the fans love Bowyer, Jacko and Gallen and of course how much them 3 love this football club and how they all want to make a legacy here so my point of view is what should stop Uncle Roly giving Lord Bowyer and Jacko long term contracts if they will still be liked with the new owners? Or am I completely missing something?

    RD will only ever look at all things Charlton in a one-dimensional view - all about money. Getting LB, JJ and SG signed up to long contracts will be expensive for him so he will not do it. The whole narrative around "the new owners may not want them" is an easy way for him to avoid that expense.

    Fingers crossed and all that, but are these another lot who underestimate what a stubborn old c*** RD is, and expect him to cave in to an offer, coz I can't see anyone forking out anywhere near the reported £60m

    Hope to be proved wrong though
    Totally agree.

    It's the 60 million quid that annoys me. 
    Ask a realistic price you senile old scrote and you never know someone might just buy the club.

    We wrote to Roland last week trying to make exactly that point:

    Dear Roland Duchatelet

    I am writing to you today as chair of Charlton Athletic Supporters Trust  - the largest CAFC supporter group - to urge you to begin contract negotiations with Lee Bowyer and his management team and to secure them on the long term contracts they deserve.

    The success on the field in the last year has been accompanied by an upsurge in support and there is now an affinity between club and supporters that we haven't seen for years. We are excited to hear Lee talking about building a legacy but we are very conscious that there will inevitably be lucrative offers from other clubs who admire what he has achieved at Charlton.

    We are aware that you are concerned that long term contracts might inhibit potential buyers of the club. We would like to suggest however that any reputable potential owner would recognise that the club is far more valuable with Lee and his team secured. They would see that they would be buying a club with a proven winner at the helm and with an enduring bond with its supporters.

    Securing Lee and his team with long term contracts would also enhance your legacy to the club. We urge you to back the supporters, the management and the team by starting negotiations now so that stability and security can be attained in time for the January transfer window.

    yours sincerely

    Superb 👍
    Be great to see "the reply" on CL when or "IF" you do recieve one.
    Silly question but has Uncle Roly ever replied back to the letters you have wrote?

    My man in the know said 'i'm saying nothing' when quizzed by myself and my son about the takeover yesterday. I take that as hugely encouraging and discouraging and refuse to get sucked in by it.

    Very true, the fans are the club.

    There is no affinity with the ownership

    So tedious now and has been for a long time.

    To be honest it would be preferable NOT to know whats going on until or if a takeover happens, all this does is raise fans hopes, then see it all crash down again, I thought the Geneva Convention was drawn up to stop torture, obviously not.
