Wanting to become London's 4th biggest club and working to a strict (3rd lowest in the division) budget does not compute. That and carter and rodwell saying the owners have been great and given us everything we've asked for - well that doesn't compute either, otherwise we surely would have bought the sort of quality that we needed not to be in a relegation battle.  

When you set out to do something I assume you complete it instantly then? 

The owners have spent massive amounts of money, how that has been spent by others is not their fault. You could hardly say after last season that they couldn’t trust Jones to deliver another good season. It’s not in them that recruitment has gone tits up. 

You are being unreasonable to suggest that we wouldn’t be in a relegation battle this season 

I disagree. Do you think they've got all their money tied up in premium bonds? Maybe we went up a year earlier than expected /budgeted but you have to adjust. £12m is probably okay as a new player budget if you already have a Championship squad but clearly isn't enough if you've just scraped up through the play offs. They may be happy chucking a certain amount away each year and not adjusting that and maybe Jones is happy on his 5 year deal going up and down if necessary - u could say its like when we went up to the prem and back down then back up - BUT - this is between what should be our baseline (2nd division) and 3rd division, not the second division and 1st. They may all be happy with their project but I, and every other Charlton fan i know sees going back into League 1 as an absolute nightmare. we've all had enough of it. These owners are more animated when the women's team are playing according to carter - says it all to me - i've got zero interest in Charlton's women team and still wouldn't if they won the Women's champions league.     

How much was you expecting the owners to spend last summer and this month then? 

enough to keep us up and not get trounced by our local rivals 

I'll give you the latter, but you have no idea if we have spent enough to stay up this season. 

No amount of spending guarantees fuck all
Form is temporary 
Injuries can scupper any squad
And Woeful referees can burn legitimately won points with one careless blow of their whistle 
Self important ranting about some blokes you’ve never met not spending fanciful bundles on unnamed playing superheroes is as dreary as it is juvenile
