They’ve done some excellent business, albeit spending a lot of money. But Cook is proven and knows how to win a league and if it wasn’t for administration, would’ve kept Wigan up the other year.
You're welcome to your sarcasm, but we Bought Clive Mendonca from Grimsby and Lyle Taylor from Wimbledon. Obviously there will be duds but how can buying very good League 1 players be a bad thing ?
Pigott and Fraser are very good League 1 players. Are you Just jealous we didn't get them ?
Ipswich and Wigan are League 1 clubs, and so are we, so you are limited to the type of players you can attract. Mainly Journey men and youngsters or in our wembley winning team some great loanee's as well.
I like Nigel Adkins but having Lambert, Lallana, Barnard, Kelvin Davies,
Oxlade-Chamberlain, Richardson, Fonte, Schneiderlin etc in League1 he was probably disappointed they only finished runners up.
There are two sides to this though.
Southampton achieved 92 points (after a poor start) and were just 3 points behind a Brighton squad that had Ashley Barnes, Glenn Murray and Chris Wood up top (48 L1 goals between them that season), Elliot Bennett (played 36 times for Norwich in the PL the following season), Inigo Calderon (150 plus games in the Championship for them), Liam Bridcutt (sold for £2.5m), our own Radostin Kishishev, Tommy Elphick (sold to Bournemouth and promoted with them and then subsequently sold to Villa for £3m) and Gordon Greer (over 200 subsequent Championship games).
It's also worth bearing in mind that Oxlade-Chamberlain was 17 for the duration of that season and sold at the end of it for £12m to Arsenal.0 -

Latest net squad figures are below: most teams in the division still have a lot to do, presumably the shortfall will be plugged by loans.6 -

If you can get into the top 6 you’re going to be there or thereabouts in terms of promotion.
What happened to "blow this league out the water"?
And the five-year plan to get to the Premier League?
Yes, yes ... I'm delighted that we have a genuine owner, and that we are not being run by spivs etc. And that we have a Club to support.
But the goalposts seemed to have moved dramatically since Sandgaard first took over.
Me? I'll settle for a ten-year plan.
Maybe time for Sandgaard to articulate the new long-term vision. Because, sure as Hell, the original hyperbole ain't gonna happen.
It looks like he believes it can be done through intelligent recruitment and investment in the right areas. Finding good value for money rather than outspending everyone.
He's also patient and probably expects to bring in some bargains and quality loans as we move towards the end of the window. There are clubs out there that will need the money and good players out of contract getting their last payment from their previous contract this month.
If he gets it wrong this season he'll end up spending a lot more on another promotion attempt than had he gone for it a bit more this summer. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, for me we still need 4/5 signings as a minimum, ideally a few more than that.
I wish that you are right.
It's a target, which may be hit or not. But you've got to have a plan, something to aim for.
This time last year we couldn't even be sure we could start the season or even have a club to support.
Sandgaard has come in when nobody else would touch us, and he's ambitious. But he's not chucking money around like confetti.
Something is building at Charlton, the foundations are being put in place.
I reckon we should just enjoy the journey, however long it takes.
Really it's just about watching the football. You know, that's the reason why we go to Charlton.
It only takes 1 season to get promoted after all.
My 5 year goal would be to get out and stay out of this division. Anything else is a bonus.0 -

Portsmouth have a ton of trialists at the moment and have lost a good portion of their squad from last year; Sunderland still havent replaced someone who scored 30-goals last term - Sheffield Wednesday are in utter disarray.3 -
Curtis and Marquis aside I don't see much to get that fearful about with the Pompey squad. That's assuming they even stay.3

Saw this posted on a Sunderland forum, regarding Josh Key.
He held talks with Charlton according to Tony Coton.
That was at a charity golf day at the worsley Marriott last week

I didn’t say I was confident about shef weds Sunderland Portsmouth and Wigan but that’s my prediction of whose going to be in and around the top six.The one thing I am confident about is lpswich winning the league.I hoped l would be saying this about charlton ,but with 12 days to go and and a weaker squad,even the most loyal charlton fan even with rose coloured spectacles with this squad top six is out of the question,unless charlton spend money on2to3 class signings5
