If you have a problem with them trying to flip the club in a few years time because that's what's happened, then that's only a good thing?!
They might end up losing a lot of money and we might end up in another crisis.
No problem with them flipping the club, but that will need a plan, good management and investment.
What they have is a loss making football operation, so making it valuable will need a team that will fill the Valley.
RD wasnt a football person he was a politician that decided he could do football differently with a network of clubs that shared information and players on the cheap, and put in place people like KM and TD who weren't suited to run/work for a club like us.
The less said about both ESI groups the better, none of them were actually competent to run a bath, let alone a football club.
TS put people like his son and his wife/girlfriend/fuck buddy in charge of many things and didn't see fit to hire anyone else for the SMT until very late on in his tenure.
This lot have people who have ran clubs before, who are ex professional footballers, ex managers, people who have been there and done that.
They have been here 4 weeks, that's nowhere near enough time to judge if they're doing to be a success or not.
But fuck me if the whining on here doesn't look like a bunch of entitled, spoilt brats that throw toys out of the pram constantly, it's tiresome.
I'd like nothing more than for them to come out, lay out a 5 year plan in front of us all, like the wankers beforehand, but then actually manage to follow through with it, but it's not going to work like that.
I'd also like them to just go and spunk £15m up the wall on players for us to absolutely walk the league and give us a really strong foundation for next season, but again it's not going to work like that.
But hey let's all sit on a football forum and constantly moan and complain and vent our spleens every day because that's going to make all the difference isn't it?
Maybe some of us have seen this all too often at Charlton hence the cynicism.
Tiresome it is.
I'm just looking forward to the January window.....at least that one only lasts 31 days !!
And make it look good but .. the better teams wait and bring in qualityWe've brought in better players than last year (on paper) but have a weaker and less experienced squad.
im mr half glass full but we need 3/4 quality players and then premier league loans to boost the squad. I can't see it happening.
im not blaming Scott or the new owners, they have a difficult job that will take time. I expect us to challenge for the play offs and improve on last year. If we get in, we will sneak in but we are a long way off the top two as things stand.2 -
This is now the Lyle Taylor thread. So when do we reckon he will resign?0

Take care of the starting 11
Loans and our youth players to add to it, not form the basis of it.0 -

Callumcafc said:supaclive said:Bolton were in League 2, 3 windows ago
They assembled a great squad, for a pittance and now they are favourites to go up
It CAN be done
If you sign hungry, good players. The best in your division or the division below.
I'm not sure waiting for Championship players is the way forward
Especially as we are desperate for fit, ambitious players.
What ambition leaving the Championship for Charlton, unless you are out of contract?
Scott said in the latest interview we were competing with Championship clubs for players. Not necessarily that the players themselves are from Championship clubs.
That could refer to Premier League loans or talented L1/L2 players…0 -

ValleyBen said:Our best two players so far this season are both out of contract next summer, hopefully we are also working on getting them signed up on lucrative new deals nice and early.
If we are going to build slowly then we need to not have to worry about replacing our actual talent.1 -

Get out of this league first and then worry about who may or may not be good enough for the championship. Although i do get why the management team would prefer Nombe given his age and potential.8 -
I've heard we're looking to sign a new joke transfer rumour. From a League One club in the Greater Manchester area4

I expect it to be a younger striker that has some resale value , as opposed to a JCH. Whether that ends up being Nombe or not I'm not sure.
Feels like the signings bar May are trending towards younger players that could get us promoted and then still be good enough to step up.1 -

BigDiddy said:L0rd_M0ntagu3 said:I don’t get the Andy Scott bashing. I know January wasn’t a huge success but he got rid of the dead wood.
He comes to the club with an excellent CV and experience. Fans moan when we hire people with no experience (Martin) and slate people with experience.
Sadly, our squad is a mess due to the past two summers, and it will take a few windows to sort out.What planet are you on. Targets are not communicated unless already leaked, and the only communication you will see is announcing their signing after Cawley has been briefed and when the deal is 99.9% done.
The objectives have been pretty well communicated, as are the difficulties. Whether achieving them happens will be know as and when the window closes, not before.
You have diddly squat idea about the "action" going on behind the scenes to be able to asset no "action" is going on.
Further to a point already alluded to, I cannot envisage posters moaning about lack of communication and action have much idea about conducting complex negotiations involving upwards of 4 or 5 interested parties that need to be conducted discretely to obtain the optimum result.
Just moan about the results and our frustration that it hasn't happened yet, not blaming what you know nothing about.6 -

May cost anything from 250 to 400k depending on who you believe. He wasn't out of contract.

Nombe might be younger than JCH, but is he as good?
Just worrying about resale value is pointless, if they're not actually that good in the first place. Kirk, Lavelle, DJ etc were meant to be our future stars...13 -

I actually like signing the older players in their prime as it's less likely they leave. You get a player in their late 20s/early 30s in to partner May and provided they're good, that's likely our strike force for the next 3 seasons.
I would much rather that than worry about losing a young player every transfer window2 -
