Summer Transfer Rumours - Deadline Day p446

Very unsurprised at that, like I said after the Aberdeen friendly when he didn't get on at all, he just sat on a chair by the bench and stared off into the distance for a good couple of minutes, probably at that point he had decided he wanted to move on.0

It would be so Charlton to finally have owners happy to spend - but we can’t because of the mess made by previous owners.
Watch that transfer window wind down….along with our chances of a proper promotion push this season.

I hope that means someone is lined up and that someone is Sessegnon or of that quality1
-
I guess moving these players on was part of the plan which I think is reasonable for a well run football club, but of course frustrating. Truth is everyone thinks they primarily want a well run football club until there is a trade off like this.0

Not overly bothered but I liked Egbo off the pitch and would have liked to have seen a bit more of him4

They can spend what they like as long as they put the money in as equity and not as loansValley11 said:It would be so Charlton to finally have owners happy to spend - but we can’t because of the mess made by previous owners.

Nice lad, lacked a bit of oomph, hope he does well under Garner4
-
Cawley saying it’s been going on for a while so I imagine that injury wasn’t real/isn’t actually very serious1
-
Would imagine Colchester are preparing to sell Tchamedu11

Seemed like a great guy to have around the squad as a personality but never really saw much of him on the field. A move to working under Garner again is the best for everyone and I'd expect Sessengon or a PL loanee in before the weekend.0
-
Not surprised he has gone but thought he is better than L2/Colchester.
With his injury record I am not disappointed to see him move on as we need to move away from those sorts of signings. Good luck to him, clearly a good egg.0 -

That’s probably going to be the case, we’ve been trying to offload DJ for example for multiple windows without success. I think him and Kirk will go out on loan again.killerandflash said:cafcfan1990 said:
But that's exactly what they (Scott) did. MacGillivray, Lavelle, DJ and Kirk were all shipped out in Jan. The difference is that they managed all that towards the end of the window, it's probably going to be the same now but unfortunately that doesn't help us at all.carly burn said:
So are the ownership willing to take the hit?DubaiCAFC said:
I don't think we will, who is going to pay Kirk 7k a week.Redhenry said:
Exactly what i meant, we won't get those wages covered, as for transfer fees, that's lala land...North Lower Neil said:
Surely more about getting a couple of wages off the book than transfer fees?Redhenry said:If we are waiting for outgoings, how much we gonna raise from that, 2 bob?
They did their due diligence. They've been around since christmas. They knew the score when they took over. There was a high likelihood that they would struggle to get the unwanted off the books. Due diligence would have told them that.
To make a success of this, they are going to have to take a hit to get where they claim they want this club to be.
If they aren't willing to do that, and are hoping to do this on the cheap they they will go down in the same category of our last few owners.
But not permanently, other than the keeper, and we probably still paid some of their wages anyway0 -

I’m guessing it was reliant on how long it took Stoke (or whichever buying club) to stump up the appropriate fee for Tchamadeu.fenaddick said:Cawley saying it’s been going on for a while so I imagine that injury wasn’t real/isn’t actually very serious
With that said, I see Tchamadeu gets the start for them against Wimbledon tonight.

Whatever the reason behind it, the SMT wanting to shift £20k off the wage bill is a huge task. Considering we’ll be lucky to loan out DJ and Kirk and we’ll be lucky to get away with still paying 50% of their wages. I smell a bit of red trousered BS coining through already.SomervilleAddick said:
No, no, no. This is the type of thing we hear owners spout in the US when they don’t want to spend money. In L1 there is effectively no FFP - it’s self imposed by the owners, as they can pour as much money as they want into the team, as long as it’s not a loan.CAFCDAZ said:
I had a chat with one of the SMT today, he pretty much confirmed this. I estimate between 17/20k a week in wages they want to move on, without doing that we are in a bit of a stalemate as from an FFP perspective, we could end up under a 12 month embargo if we just start signing players and not shifting these on.DubaiCAFC said:
I think they was hoping to have a few of them players off the books by now.. As the get closer to the deadline I think they will go.Redhenry said:That's worrying, squad is well short
I think we might have another player in next week, which won't have a big impact on FFP. (premier league loan)
Camara loan, we are paying full salary, I understand, and a small loan fee!If they want to get out of this division, but you have 5 players you don’t want sucking up money and squad places, then you can just dump them. Free transfers, buy out the contract, park them off the playing squad, whatever. The owners just need to cover the cost.They can bring in players any time, see where they are with the 5 at the end of the window, and stump up whatever cash is needed to level up FFP. FFP only comes into play if they don’t want to invest cash in place of a loan.If you’re going to spend the money on incomings anyway, you’re effectively adding about £1m in write offs on these players wages - if you think adding the new players gets you out of the division, then you’re just reducing you’re chances by letting your squad decisions and progress be driven by the status of players you don’t want.If I’d just spent £12m on buying the club, and had a budget that I thought would get the team promoted, I’m not going to balk at the extra money to remove a drag on success. Any money we get back on fees or partial wages reduces my extra investment, but they no longer constrain my ability to succeed. But if they want to risk their change of success this year over £1m, then I’d question their ambition.Now, that assume that really is the problem - if clubs won’t release the players we want, that’s a different issue.1 - Sponsored links:

Injury list is down to eight now 😊😊2

now to try and shift kirk and dj3

Luckily we kept the win bonuses down to a minimumCAFCDAZ said:that was an estimate, going off of this https://salarysport.com/football/league-one/charlton-athletic/
kirk - 5,400
Payne - 5,100
McGambles - 4,400
DJ - 2,400
Egbo - 1,900
none of those seem to be in favour and Payne and Kirk are quite honestly taking the piss and robbing a living if there earning that. Personally think these are the most likely suspects to be shipped out.5 -
What makes you think we have owners happy to spend ? Ok they spent far to much on buying the club from sandgaard ( & they're supposed to be intelligent business men, billionaires so some say but I don't think that's true) but as for spending on players ? It was suggested back around January that they had no intention on splashing out on new players & we would be looking mainly at out of contracts & loans. So far they have paid a reported transfer fee of £250k for Alfie May & compensation for Taylor who was out of contract but under 24. There is absolutely nothing to stop them paying whatever they want for incoming players but it's not going to happen. As I said the other day new owners same old shit. Methvens sold them a pup, he gets shares in the club & his mates get a weekly wage & they don't give a shit about Charlton Athletic.Valley11 said:It would be so Charlton to finally have owners happy to spend - but we can’t because of the mess made by previous owners.

What ? How does that work, I thought all new signings had to spend a few weeks getting up to a certain fitness level ? Colchester are cheating.fenaddick said:

They knew the financial situation and the chuff that Sandgaard signed on poor contracts.
They're as bad as him if they don't swallow it. Move these jokers on (pay them off) and get some quality in.0 -
Our 2rd place player budget in 2021/2022 was £ 2.6 million compared to Ipswich £12.5! MillionPavoren007 said:
I am friends with another EFL club Chairman - and he has shared that we have definitely been floating around top 3-6 place budget, but as you say a catalogue of stupid decisions has led to us foundering despite said investment. A case of Computer said fcuk you and our unqualified recruiter asked for the same abuse for 2.5 seasons.Rothko said:Goes to the point made that the budget was clearly there, just appallingly spent
Sunderland £5.5million Sheffield Wednesday £1,6 million.
Since then we have cut the player budget.
