    Answering a question about it being a difficult league... "The clubs that are pulling together and know where they want to go are the ones that tend to be successful" Portsmouth last season given as an example
    Bullshit Bingo - house !!!

    Ipswich spent money - wisely - but plenty of it - in Premier League, from Div 3 to Prem in 2 seasons  
    Ipswich spent their first 12 months spending money with no plan and didn't make the playoffs...

    If I was just listening to Charlie without knowing he is Charlie I’d quite like him and it all sounds pretty reasonable but I know it’s him and I just don’t trust him.

    And got beat by them at their place 4 nil and then 6 nil in successive seasons - I was at both 

    But most importantly - last season they got promoted to Prem - we had our lowest finish in 98 years

    Tell me about plans ….

    What point are you trying to make? And how is it relevant about the initial post? We've all got the hump about last season.

    Do you disagree with the statement that the best organised clubs are the most successful ones on the pitch?

    Well done Charlotte Richardson, you always do a good job, and you're improving from a high base anyway with each season.

    Yes I do disagree - best organised is part of it, but you said they had no plan - but they spent money, and then got their house in order - look at them now 

    I’ll believe it when I see it 

    Enough now - we ain’t going to agree at the moment

    They are pretty impressive in my opinion and I really think they are doing everything they can to move the club forwards. Very positive vibes after years of absolute tossers in charge.

    Agree to disagree I suppose - if it was all about budgets then you wouldn't see Plymouth or Oxford promoted out of this league and Man U would be comfortable in the top four of the Premier League season after season. Money is helpful but it isn't everything.

    We'll all believe it when we see it but there were no promises made about outcomes - it would be foolish to do so in a competitive sports league.

    Because it’s words at the moment - if you want to hang out the bunting on the back of today, you fill your boots 

    My first match was in 1976 - a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then - good and bad

    When I see that what they say translates into a good team / promotion fodder, then I will join you

    For now, I’ve seen it all before

    I kind of think we're going for the Chris Brailsford accumulation of marginal things approach. It worked out in cycling.

    Bit patronising... it's definitely all been sunshines and rainbows since my first game in the late 90s of course.

    I suppose I'll get back to you in 22 years - if Charlton Athletic is still around at that point.

    I did, thank you very much - I had it on whilst watching England get destroyed by India in the T20 (sound on Charlton session, sound off Cricket) 

    And I’m quite entitled to have have my opinion - which whilst some may not like my opinion - I stand by my views

    I have not been abusive - just said what I think in (what I believe) to be factually and constructive way (others may disagree, ok)

    I’ve heard it all before - when I see what they say, translate onto the pitch, then fine

    Thanks

    Thought it was very good.
    Was dubious at first and thought it was season ticket sales pitch but they addressed that.
    They know first and foremost things need to change on the pitch before they start asking people to think about putting their hands in their pockets and they are working towards that end, so that was a big plus for me.
    I've listened to Methven a fair few times now, on these meetings and elsewhere and dare I say it but he has impressed me.
    Despite what we all think we know, the fella has been in and around the echelons of the football boardroom for quite some time now so I think he's earned some stripes. Yes he can come across all city boy but what he says makes lots of sense.
     I have a slight warm feel of optimism. 
    Let's see.
