Only thing keeping me going is the thought of an ESI-less Charlton, backed by Varney and co with full ownership of the club, ground, training ground and all assets, with Jacko at the helm (I reckon Bowyer is off). Staying up but keeping everything else the same would be a disaster. Of course, going down and keeping it all the same would be worse.5

That 5 year timescale for reaching the Premium Luge just got tighter20

Leeds players have earned their club more than £46M.addick1956 said:
Both sets of players way over paid...why do fans think that getting more than a hundred k for kicking a ball is ok...it ain't.ColinTat said:Sure no fight: Leeds wage bill £46 million, Charlton £6.5 million. Couldn't just be an absolutely cavernous gulf in resources?1 -
What needs to happen is that the club does not declare admin. Wait for Sheffield Wed result from inquiry1

Barnsley goal looked about a yard offside!1

Could people stop going on about Roland. yes he shafted us when he sold control of the football club, he is not any worse off because Charlton relegated, he still owns a lot of land in London that he can land bank and get cheap loans on. We need to worry about who will want to buy the football club and support the multimillion pound losses each year,1

Bowyer to Birmingham nailed on now.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Have to say reading some of his post match comments, it doesn't seem like Bowyer is going to be here next season.1 -
I agree. Unless the Barclay/Varney proposed bid gets traction and very quickly I can’t see him staying around.ricky_otto said:
Not at all. He needs to jack it in for his own wellbeing.robinofottershaw said:And would anyone blame Bowyer if he threw in the towel right now?1 -
Even if Wednesday get relegated by the EFL in a couple of weeks, what sort of state would we be in to prepare for the next season?0

Seems like the writing has been on the wall for months but it’s still a kick in the balls.Doesn’t even feel like a football club anymore, I spend much more time reading about the shambles off the pitch then I do about what’s happening on the pitch and it’s been this way for years. It’s just not right and I don’t know what to do about it. At least under Roland we had a common enemy.What is clear though is that we shouldn’t give a penny to these thieving parasites. Please don’t buy a season ticket until they’re out.6

Barnsley manager in tears speaking about the passion and desire of his players. Never seen a manager so emotional. Says that desire overcame the quality of Brentford
chalk and cheese against our lot.7 -
The website says it finished 1-1. What a fucking joke of a club.0

No way it's happening this season.killerandflash said:Even if Wednesday get relegated by the EFL in a couple of weeks, what sort of state would we be in to prepare for the next season?3 -
I’d be more than happy with Jackson taking over if LB leaves.
However, if we are still under an embargo in September then we will be getting ready to play football in League Two this time next year.1 - Sponsored links:

Feeling more deflated right now than at any other point since relegation from the Prem. With all the other disappointments, all the other heartache, we either had good Charlton people behind the scenes at the club, or a united fan base, exciting prospects for the lower division the following year, we always owned our ground, and even under Roland we at least knew the bills would get paid.
Right now, I can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, any silver lining, even for a blind optimist like me. We’re going to enter the close season with no manager, hardly any players, no money, no owners, no ground, a transfer embargo, back to the likes of Slade as Bowyer’s replacement , and the very real prospect of being threatened with expulsion from the league.
That optimist in me deep down is hopeful that it’s darkest before the dawn and this set of depressing circumstances will set the scene for PV and AB to come to the rescue, and lay the foundations for a decade of success... but after the last 13 years of false dawns, let downs, and kicks in the teeth, that feels a far off unrealistic dream.I was about to write “football can be cruel sometimes”, but the truth is this isn’t really football any more. Kicking a ball seems only a small part of supporting Charlton these days compared to everything else going on at the club.
Tonight, I’m drained, and exhausted with it all. But I’ll still be here tomorrow, and the day after that, and the week, month and years after that, long after the current bunch of charlatans have packed up, and will be Charlton till I die.This is a low.12 -
Yes, leaked to the media to destabilise Charlton before the match. Would have thought that JoshAddick may have been able to follow the pictures (posted 10.04) ££££££££££££££££££££££Gammysnr said:

Didn't wolves set a record points tally?EdgeleyAddick said:
Well they will keep that squad and add to it. They have Bielsa. And they are better than Burnley and Wolves were when they went up, both of whom got in Europe fairly soon after promotion.Croydon said:
Europe? Behave will you.EdgeleyAddick said:Leeds were very good tonight and look like they will push for a European place next season. To lay into the Charlton players when they were up against such quality seems harsh to me.
Hope Bowyer stays, but can totally understand him going.
But anyway, not really important in the grand scheme of things. Just thought it worth pointing out, as the gulf in quality was plain to see.0 -
the whole season has been defined by late goals, so you just knew there would be a late twist. While it was 1-1 at Brentford I was numb rather than nervous, like waiting for the floods to come..
No single reason for relegation really...but it all goes back to Roland, he's the one who has created this mess3 -
Not that bothered about being relegated (well I am but you know what I mean). It’s happened before and it will happen again, hopefully. There is a much bigger picture and that is the survival of our Club. We need to rid ourselves of all the chancers involved in our Club including Roland. How? I don’t know at present but I’m sure people cleverer than me will come up with the right options and together we can get OUR Club back. I was duped to return when ESI took over, never again. Until we get owners who I can trust it’s back to Not A Penny More.8

So right. Knowing this, tonights theatre rather academic. I certainly felt little going into the match.

I think the tank's empty. He's put his heart and soul into Charlton with little or no support and so nearly succeeded in keeping us up.eaststandmike said:Sounds like a goodbye from Bowyer, might be wrong but reading those quotes I would not be surprised.
I wouldn't blame him at all for going but hope he doesn't of course.1 -
Bottom line, Duchebag, Farnell, Southall, Nimer, Elliot, Amis, Heller and all the other odds and sods surrounding them are to blame.
They all like to play Billy Big Bollocks in the board room as they squabble between themselves, but the truth is they are small men who fail in every department of life. They are dishonest, dishonourable and despicable. I hope their brinkmanship takes them down. I hope they rot in Hell.20 -

Most of them don't give a shit about the ownership.
Witness the fans in the ground who complained against the high profile demonstrations against Duchatatlet.
I saw fans threatening those who were protesting as they said it would affect the players, even though we had a great record in those games.
We have our fair share of moronic fans, who couldn't give a shit about the bigger picture.3 -
I can see Bowyer resigning, rather than leaving to take over another club. I think the whole season has taken its toll
Indeed it wouldn't surprise me if he had a few months off3
