In the who has the worst owner competition you are lagging again. Cellino and the club have both been charged with paying a bung to an agent when we sold Ross McGreedycnut to Fulham. The FA are investigating possible third party ownership of the diving Brazilian we had (Adryan), and an investigation is underway about another illegal payment to an agent when we signed bench warmer Erwin.....
Look at what the Oystons have done to Blackpool while still receiving parachute money. This was the last season they got any, so think what will become of Blackpool with no parachute money. They are total bastards, Cellino is a crook and Roland is mad. The Oystons are in a clear lead, but then again they've had longer.
Our CEO is "thrilled" that we have recruited Steve Head as Chief Scout. She has also signalled the club's ambition by stating that they hope to put together a squad to "withstand the rigours of a long season". Nothing about promotion. Nothing about success. A meaningless statement.
Unbelievable statement. This whole "not building expectations" had worked wonderfully so far. At least we can't blame her for lying here.
We is very good on compost heaps it seems... not sure if Royal We is any better than my pi55 poor stuff?
The original idea was that we consolidate as a strong championship side with premiership ambition. Well, that went well.... On relegation, we were going to try to bounce back, but were warned against building expectations. A few managerless weeks later and the ambition has now dropped again. This reads as if our ambition is to have enough players to still be able to put a team out next april. Regardless of league position.... What is next. Do we get to see youth players who one day may make the bench in lower half championship teams? To attract gates in excess of 3,000? To possess a squad of bipeds? This constant over ambition is very draining.
I understand that the Club will announce today... a Target 5K working group.... this will succeed the Target 20K group which had as much success as Carol Fry... Next week they will announce that the 'Fans Forum' will be replaced with a 'Fan Forum' ... also the International Fans Representative will be abolished as the only overseas fan they could find lives in Belgium and he never attends games and certainly doesn't want to talk to other Charlton fans
