Spoke to #cafc boss for @BBCLondonSport Says possibly one more player to leave “but not one everyone expecting” Says not sure if Lyle Taylor will be fit for start of season. On own future and takeover says “I’m guessing like you “ but believes deserves to be made permanent boss.
Worrying that the CAFC website says Taylor will receive treatment this week ahead of the Sunderland game, but does not say anything about his chances of being OK for that game.
From what Bowyer said i would suggest he will not be fit. He said he will not play him unless he was 100 per cent. It seems that Bowyer has written off the Sunderland game.
Aaahhh. I remember when selling a high wage earner would leave us dreaming of replacing him with two younger, hungrier stars. Now we can look forward to the possibility of someone cheaper, older and possibly bed-ridden coming in. Possibly with a bad case of Torrets? #rogerjohnson
Ajose is also a wage bill job. If Magennis and Ajose leave, the highest earners will be Sarr and Vetokele. We can't get them off the wage bill because nobody wants them. Just to correct something. Sarr was given a five year contract On 28 July 2015, so his contract doesn't run out until 2020.
I believe Ben Reeves is on a nice little earner as well. I wonder why Gobbo hasn't taken his all time favourite crock to Oxford
Sarr was an all time shocker of a signing. Dreisen recruited him while looking for tits on Babestation - he stumbled across that tit on a different channel.
Excellent article from Chicago Addick who is the best blogger about all things Charlton there is. https://chicagoaddick.wordpress.com/2018/07/30/asset-stripping/
This is the future now. Cost cutting as a mantra. Staff redundancies in the pipeline. A transfer budget of £0 every window. Training facilities unfinished and apparently abandoned now. Even the academy targeted for cuts. Making do without complaint (RD has lucked onto the perfect manager for that, at least until he pushes LB too far. Then it will be JJ's turn.) Contracts running down, a few new ones offered not taken up. The Club perpetually 'for sale' but never to be sold because the terms being asked bear no relation whatsoever to reality. Rumours of new buyers used to try to keep protests quiet - can't see that trick working for much longer. Senior positions unfilled, and no chance they will ever be occupied by competent people with their own minds. A board room with one man sitting in it. A stadium with more than 20,000 of its 27,000 seats empty on match days. And next summer the screws will really be turned.
At the same time the value of the club goes down and down, making it more and more unsellable, assuming Roland refuses to lower his valuation.
