    Don’t understand why there is any vitriol towards Cawley. 

    Odd.
    Its called trolling... Its a new account too, so wonder if one of the lads on their School Holidays, who creates fake Transfer Rumours... and has been mocked on here a few times over it, has gotten a bit too upset.

    Each to their own, but personally I enjoy Rich Cawley’s Substack and Podcasts with LM. Reckon it’s great value at just few quid a month! 
    That’s fair enough. Each to their own indeed. I was speaking more on the topic of transfers as that was the subject at hand to begin with, and there are plenty of others out there that will break that sort of news way before Cawley and don’t charge for it. 

    Just rubs me up the wrong way when people start charging others for stuff. I understand it’s affordable and isn’t much but it’s just the principle for me. 
    It’s a free market, if people think it’s worth it they will pay for it. If people don’t then no one will pay and it will die out naturally. No need to get triggered

    Tbh I think it’s just a ‘Local’ account

    Can you point me in the direction of someone who does all the other stuff Cawley does for free?
    If you actually read what you’d quoted you’d see that I said I was specifically talking about the transfer side of things, in which case there are plenty all over X.
    Yeah but some little gimp on Twitter doesn’t put those questions to the actual manager of the team

    Yes mate it’s trolling because I have an opinion that just so happens to be different to most others on here. No wonder why this page gets such a bad rep, Christ.
    You're allowed an opinion but his substack is far more than just providing exclusive transfer news. Show me another outlet that provides this level of Charlton related content

    How many of those accounts provide genuine stories and concrete rumours about the club...? - Can you provide examples seeing you're so adamant there are plenty of other accounts compared to Cawley out there - We're not talking about kids like you who make up transfer stories in your head, just for clarity sake

    George Green joined Charlton from Espanyol in 1938

    He'd been playing in Spain but was back in the UK when the Spanish Civil War broke out so unable to return he joined Jimmy Seed's side.
    Did you ever watch him play, Henry?

    You sound incredibly similar to a poster that lasted all of about a week and a half on here...
    Nope, I’m a first time poster and will be the last. Just a bunch of insecure, know it all old men which is the exact reason this page gets so much shit on other Charlton related pages. God forbid someone has a difference in opinion. 
    I know fuck all thank you very much, and 42 is not old!!!

    You know that people disagreeing with you are also expressing an opinion right? No one is saying you can't disagree, they're just trying to have a discussion. Instead of engaging you're just insulting people.

    I’m not saying I agree, but people are called trolls on here just because they don’t agree far too quickly, and then others jump on the bandwagon, can’t people just not agree if that’s what they believe?. I guess I’ll be called one now, but so be it.🤷🏻‍♂️

    Despite a lot of focus on two more players to come in I still believe we’ll do a lot of horse trading before the window closes, to trim/freshen/strengthen the squad. 

    Rich Cawley has made a bold prediction and says he doesn’t think we’ll get Holsgrove although he admits it’s not based on much to back his hunch. 
    Ironically this is the same guy that charges people for a subscription for his “exclusives.” Crazy stuff. 


    His substack is fantastic and a club our size is blessed that he kept a focus on us, as without it we’d be hearing very little from inside the club. 
    A club our size? We’re not just some two bob outfit mate. We’re a historically big club and always have been. 
    There’s actually been plenty of news, particularly within the last few years, that has broken regarding us and our transfers way before Cawley has got a hold of it, and these actual exclusives have been made by accounts not charging for it.

    If you wanna continue paying your hard earned money on hypotheticals then fair play but I’m sorry to say it’s more fool you really.
    We've spent the last good knows how many years being outside the top 50 clubs in the country.

    Would be barely any other coverage bar the odd Pete O'Rourke transfer tweet. Not as if The Athletic are suddenly going to start covering us or something. 
    That’s just a load of bollocks mate. Plenty of accounts on X or practically anywhere on the internet cover transfer news for anyone, particularly now we’re a championship club again. Cawley isn’t the messiah he once was, there’s plenty more credible sources out there that don’t charge fans, you’re clearly just not looking deep enough.
    Is your avatar just you reading all those accounts with Charlton stories on X?

    Crazy logic! Like traditional media was free? You still had to BUY the newspapers, they were still a business.

    That very thing can be done without charging for a “substack”, it’s quite literally his job to report on Charlton/ other south London clubs. But as I’ve said a few times now I was speaking solely on transfer news, in which case many accounts on X break news before he gets a hold of it. 
    Thank you for backing up your argument with examples of those accounts on X that you mention
    Is much appreciated, and puts me firmly in my place.
