    Carter says he doesn’t think our business is finished.

    But you can tell this line of questioning is making both him and Rodwell feel a bit uncomfortable.

    Rodwell “don’t judge us on what we spend, judge us on what we spend on”

    GC framing investment in the club without the ground and training ground as a good thing. “If people are only interested because we have those assets, do they have the right interest in the football team”

    Rodwell says lease on the Valley was extended earlier this year and relationship with the landlord is good. Don’t remember that being announced.

    Great if you we up some real bargains, but if low budgets is the plan until we get more investors then eventually it'll catch up with us and it'll be a struggle to stay up.

    Rodwell is such a blusterer. Never taken to him.
    Now that we can agree on Cal. Talks down to everyone.

    That's a silly defense for not owning the assests

    “What is the plan if Nathan Jones leaves” is a good question. Back to Rodwell saying a lot without saying a lot.

    For someone who clearly loves a bit of attention, he’s hardly well versed and able to roll with the punches 
    It's almost like he is trying to be dislikeable on purpose.

    If this bloke can get a job at Charlton it gives me belief I can do anything. Terribly uncharismatic.

    Well done to the Mod Mag bloke, good set of questions 👏

    Kelman has had some shoulder surgery, already back on the grass, maybe about 3 weeks away.

    To be honest, I think there was a lot of diverting there. 

    Well done to the mod mag chap for asking reasonably challenging questions.

    Thought it was very interesting when he said the Kelman fee of 3.5 million was wrong? 

    So it was less then, as all the talk was it was around that fee and if it was less, that makes the question even better.

    Carter confirming we’re still thinking about 9+9+9 for squad building

    Club has explored making Charlton TV free in Kenya but EFL don’t like it.

    The only persons view that counts on Rodwell is Nathan’s, and he rates and likes him

    It got his back up that question and bit back, but in doing so he confirmed it was actually less

    At least that shows some creativity. Not sure the club would like how many people set their VPN’s to Kenya though

    Rodwell: “We have to maximise partnership revenue in order to compete with clubs in the Championship. For instance, I’ve signed a deal with Garnier, the UK’s premier fructose-based slick-and-shine system for eliminating frizz. We can all do our part to bring revenue in.”
    A lot of bald fellas on here, looking at that hair with envy.

    Cat 1 final assessment is in March and they’ll find out next summer if we get it. There’s work still to be done to be ready.

    Application is in, lots of work to do.

    I love Nathan Jones, but let's not forget he outright said Greg Docherty can play as a 10. His judgment isn't always spot on. 

    I think it was interesting Rodwell said he will be long gone before Jones is.

    Lots of praise for Karen Hills. Understanding it will be a difficult year and encouraging fans to come out and support the women’s team.

    Fan question “what is the plan to get to the Premier League”

    …

    Rodwell running out the clock on broadcast time by talking about what Coventry have done over the last 3 years
