    Never saw this coming, especially after Leon Best.

    Looks like Matividi could be the sum total of our January transfer signings then ?

    No big surprise, RD looking to sell, he isn't going to stump up any money that he won't recoup.

    I'm shocked and stunned. After Robinson recently telling us we'd "have a right go" at the transfer market in January, I was bubbling with expectation about the quality players Roland would buy to strengthen the squad. I can only assume that, as Robinson told us earlier, clubs raise their asking price when they hear that a club as big as Charlton is interested. He also told us that referees are conspiring against us because we're such a big club, so maybe he's asked them nicely to stop this conspiracy, and they've agreed. Poor Karl- who could possibly have predicted that Roland wouldn't buy anyone in January, it must have come like a bolt from the blue.

    Even if Roland wasn’t looking to sell, why would you be suprised.

    I’m surprised that Robinson is surprised to be surprised.

    A wild hunch that Konsa will be sold, and all that comes in is another Darby and Joan.

    In other words the looming takeover has no effect on how Roland runs the club in the mean time.

    Robinson should salvage his professional pride and resign at the end of January.

    No Charlton fan would blame him.

    100% right.

    If Karl Robinson has any self respect he should walk away after the window closes - and explain exactly why.
    If getting his pay-off and having a clean CV matters more to him than the way he is being hung out to dry now, then he is nothing more than I always suspected: a regime stooge who has been lying to fans all along about how much he loves them.

    Over in the Parallel Universe, it’s the genuine fans fault that Duchatelet is a tight bastard..

    Wakey wakey- there haven't been any protests this season. I don't remember any last season either.

    It’s the most cretinous & pea brained “logic” imaginable - the fans forced Duchatelet to starve the team of money for 4 years.

    Lookman, Gomez, Pope, JBG....all the fan’s fault.

    There is an entire culture on that forum built around standing the truth on its head.

    Robinson is playing a disingenuous game here. Regardless of the takeover he knew full well he wasn’t getting funds in January. Why did he go public on the Leon Best fiasco ? Saying you have 6 players lined up is taking the p1ss. It’s a bit like going into the Aston Martin showroom when you are on JSA.

    Being a current mediocre 3rd Division Club is purely down to 4 years of sh1t decisions by Duchatelet...Anyone thinking anything different needs their heads tested.

    KR today - "Right now we have one fit striker in the whole building."

    There was no takeover imminent last January and no CARD protests. Yet Duchatelet still stripped £11,750,000 out of the Club by selling Lookman and Fox.

    I am sure that Robinson wants to get us promoted and he has six players lined up. But you are naive in the extreme Karl if you think that RD will give you the funds pre or post Takeover to bring those players in. The regime are liars, if they told me the sky was blue I would ask for a second opinion.
    I have changed my opinion on Robinson and I am coming round to Lardiman's and others description of him. I think that Robinson's time at Charlton has become untenable.

    Bit irrelevant in the grand scheme of disasters, but didn't we win most of the protest games anyway.
