This what people are saying about keeping everything in house till last min .. people don’t like it and expect to be told hourly updates but that clearly not the way TS and NA want to do things and righty so …
Need I remind anyone that the only reason TS is our owner is because that thieving lawyer Farnell, in an inexplicable twist of fate, miswrote his legal brief!
Otherwise we would 100% be sitting here at our computers or phones discussing the season's prospects under Elliott & Farnell. And it would be hopeless. Utterly hopeless.
Now we've got an owner who absolutely lives and breathes Charlton, and there's people on here complaining we're not gonna blow the league out of the water... before we even know what the squad is!
Have a cup of tea. Take a deep breath. I'm sure you're all absolutely solid Charlton fans with many miles traveled more than me. This entitlement is just not on.
To be fair, having an owner who isn't a charlatan/headcase/criminal is sort of the bare minimum I'd want, and it's okay for people to express grievances about the playing side of things.
That said, I'm not panicking. Ages to go, and I would expect to see at least two at some point this week, including a player that was on no-one's radar (probably a centre back) (not a rumour btw, just gut instinct). The current setup seem to be slightly less leak-friendly so excited for some surprises.
Not a bad instinct that. Can we have a ITG list? (In the gut)
This doesn't include Forster- Caskey and we still have over a month before the season begins to make another five or so signings be they permanents or loans
Just one negative from the Famewo signing. It's brought home just how far apart we are from a club like Norwich these days
We'll be in the same division in 2022/23
Only because they become a yo-yo club between prem and championship …. the gap between the relegated clubs and the rest of the championship is getting wider because of this unfair parachute money

bristol city coming into the equation now apparently
What a great signing 👏🏻
I think we need another very decent one to provide backup/rotation though
