    Someone is going to get an absolute bargain in miles Leaburn in the next window, bid of about £300k will probably tempt the cretin

    Good win today lads. Hope you can stick in the play off places now. Top two looks too far with Leicester and Ipswich’s spending power.

    However I’m not too happy that you misled us about Charlie boy.

    It turns out he isn’t a wrong-un after all.

    He’s a complete and utter, *****ng wrong-un, who is taking our old club to its lowest ever point and most Charlton fans now think we’ll be in a relegation battle for the rest of the season, which we’ll probably lose.

    Are you sure you wouldn’t like him back ? We’ll pay you………..

    What's he doing? Selling anything with a pulse from your Academy for peanuts? Changed your run out music for something a bit ****ter?

    Is he still wearing the chinos and pink socks?

    I don’t wanna like your post as I’ve had a soft spot for Charlton since a wild few hours with some of your lads after the 4-4 playoff final.

    He is beyond parisitic that ****.

    The mystery is why he wants to be involved in football at all.

    It's like seeing an e-scooter in the fast lane of the M25 ...

    ... totally out of place, looks ridiculous and never going to get very far.

    Basically he’s skint.

    The plan is to reduce our losses by several million each season by only buying crap players with bad injury records and taking kids on loan from the PL loan farms who aren’t ready for L1 men’s football.

    When that fails and attendances drop he’ll need to sell our academy talent for whatever paltry sum comes in first.

    Who’d have thought it eh ?

    You mis spelled "c@nt" there mate.

    It's similar to what he did with us, but we still own our stadium and academy, while yours are owned by a previous owner. It gives him less resources to play with, so he will rush through player sales and cost cutting faster than he did up here. If you've got any decent academy prospects be prepared to see them sold for the price of a couple of pints and a bag of crisps.

    Miles Leaburn would have been first to be sold, but he picked up a hamstring injury a few weeks back and is out for the season. That’s really f*cked Charlie (and us) cos he’s out of contract in the summer.

    We’ve got a few academy prospect coming through, but no one else who could attract the sort of money Leaburn would have done.

    Our other problem is that we don’t have the same crowds that you do (even when you were in L1) so again there’s less revenue to start with. Crowds are falling further now under this lot, so revenue falls further and on and on it goes.

    We’re basically screwed.

    How do people like him pass "fit and proper" owner and director tests?

    He’ll be on a free in the summer as he won’t sign for us again if we’re L2 or bottom of L1, which we will be.
