Rank Apologists & "sustainable growth"

Now that the possibility of signing a much-needed striker is receding, I imagine SR will be over the moon, since it means the Lookman and Fox money is safe in Roland's bank account, still intact, waiting for the Konsa money in January.

 

In fairness we are only one point off of 7th place. But by that logic, we are only 3 points off of league two...

 

The striker fiasco once again prompts the question - why does Duchatelet bother to own Charlton ?

In Yoda Murray's own words, Roland doesn't love Charlton and hasn't seen a game in over 2 years. He clearly has no intention of equipping any Charlton manager with the tools to build a competitive team. And his stream of bad decisions means he is spunking millions he is unlikely to ever get back.

Why is he still bothering and why is the clown still here ?

 

The only thing I can figure is that Charlton losing money the way it does somehow suits his wider international business interests.
Some kind of tax thing that only his firm of accountants can understand.

Either that, or he has persisted with Charlton for longer than planned because he really wanted his muse KM to be a success in her job.
Personally I think he will have sold the Club by this time next season, whether we win promotion or not.
It must be fairly clear even to him by now that Meire is not capable of turning things around.

 

Love is blind.

 

Just thinking of the kindly old benefactor pausing occasionally from his busy jet-setting schedule to wistfully wonder when his earnest (and on occasion worryingly intense) young protégé will fulfill her potential.
Then when the house is quiet and the servants have all retired for the evening, allowing himself a melancholy sigh of disappointment when he reads the latest browser translated opinions from independent Charlton fans' forums...

Sorry, I'll have to leave it there...got something in my eye...

 

Second paragraph all day long.

Coupled with some sort of ulterior motive behind his purchase.

 

I'm on the 5.20 out of Bromley South relieved that van Gerwen is not on my train signing autographs for his fans, and I still cannot believe the comment from SeriouslyWorrying that if we beat Bury on Saturday he'll happy to accept the previous two defeats.

So to continue that sequence that would probably relegate us.

WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS HE WRITES. He's not even a wum!

 

I read his latest offering last night, 500 words that basically amount to the same old bollox that if we win games we will be in the top 6.

 

Sir Alex Ferguson would have benefited from the motivational and oratorical skills of Seriously Red.

Just imagine what his 1999 Treble winners could have actually have won with the rallying cry:

"Lets see where we are at 5pm on Saturday"

I said midweek I'd be happy with 7 points from the next three games and satisfied with 5. Still true, although 7 seems far harder to get, now.Walsall will do us and I can't see anything other than a point at Fleetwood.

A tenner says Wallsall will not "do us"!

**The above reply came from SeriouslyWorrying**

This bet will take a long time to pay up, these two attending the same game together is not easy.

 

Just had a spell of “Apologists Scanning Duty” this morning and I find a new gem from Seriously Apologetic & Co.

Wait for it - getting into the play offs this season will be an”achievement”.

That’s how low the RD Crawlers have set the bar - finishing 6th in the old Division 3.

Being the 50th best league side in England is good enough for these duffers.

 

WHY is getting into the play offs an achievement? Don't we have a top six playing budget so a top six place should be expected shouldn't it?

Our playing budget is top six
Our ground is top six
Our pitch is top six
Our crowds are still probably top six
Our Youth Academy is top six
Our Manager is supposed to be top six
Our owner is probably the richest in League 1

So why shouldn't we EXPECT a top six finish minimum?

 

SeriouslyRidiculous could babble on all day and write a 500 page book, and still not say anything.

 

I don’t think Robinson is a Top 6 Manager, even in L1. His overall career record in 8 years suggests he is average at best. We are already 10 points behind the mighty Shrewsbury Town...

 

As someone has pointed out, getting into the play-offs is not an achievement. Winning them is.

 

Isn’t it hilarious how the word “Apologists” has entered the Charlton lexicon - credit to @baraettmattesvensson for that as it was he who first used the term.

Other Duchatelet-era words & phrases include “squirrel face” and “poncing fat bastard from Cardiff”

 

"Player Farm"
"Customers"
