    Apparently we have a smaller budget than last year …
    Untrue we have 18 mill last year we had 12 mill which is the whole amount we got for promotion and tv money

    Click on looking for summer window rumours and have to scroll though so many posts that have nothing to do with it. 
    Obviously some enjoy the pile on about the worst player but can't it have it's own thread? 
    Carrying this thread off subject is a yearly ritual especially this early on...its to be expected..Its a near certainty the next few pages will cover Eurovision,Katie Price and Andy Burnham s eyebrows ..tune in after the world cup for anything resembling a signing 
    People complaining about the thread being taken off topic is more of a tradition than the thread being taken off topic at this point

    This thread should just become the shit post mega thread for the whole summer. 

    I'm actually surprised we've never truly had a thread dedicated to that on here, most forums have one, where if there's no real category for a post but you want to say it anyway, it goes in there

    I just can't see how an £18m budget for fees is remotely possible even under the new rules. The wages you'd be paying would be way above current levels too.

    New rules aren’t in play for another year

    33m losses over 3 seasons, but last year didn't countnas we came up, only this season counts so far which means we can probably spend about 20m and not be foul of the rules, and then the rules change anyway to 85% revenue the season after

    Talking of worst player, anyone remember John Barnes, what a waste that was…🤦
    He had a great game away at West Ham. Stuart with the winner, we won 1-0. 
    IIRC..Didn't he have that crass moment when asked in an interview for his biggest regret in football and his answer was "signing for Charlton Athletic"...git 🙄
    Not his rap attempt? 😂

    Sell Ahadme for 6 million and it becomes doable

    Dael Fry, who we have been linked with, looks solid for Boro. He would be great to slot in alongside Jones.

    Local lad captain of his side, that compete at the top end of the league.  He is not coming to us this summer.

    Absolutely fantastic player and defender. We have got no chance of signing him.

    I wonder if any of the budget will need to go towards the newly promoted womens team, or whether the monies are ring fenced?

    I would be fuming if this was the case. I congratulate the woman’s team but I’ve never seen them play live and only on tv twice, both in the last 3 weeks. I doubt I’m in the minority here

    I would think the men's and women's teams are classed as separate identities.

    Sure whenever I've seen him mention Charlton he's always spoken kindly about us. Think in Curbs' book he mentioned Barnes enjoying his time here and being a good pro with the other players, something along those lines anyway. 
    Barnes also talks warmly about Charlton in his own autobiography.. He compares us with Watford as a similar type of club.

    He isn't as complementary about Newcastle and he seems to be grateful we gave him an opportunity to leave there

    I agree it’s unlikely but at least it is a rumour that has been on multiple sites.

    not many of them on this thread no matter how unlikely
