    On Charlton Life today, Dobson has left.

    This appears to be fact as a poster is a person friend and had been allowed to tell the forum, various details have been released that do not put Scott in a good light.

    A club fighting relegation sees their two best players sold<doh>, madness.

    He couldn't have made a worse mess of the window if he'd tried.

    But has he made a mess of it ? He’s got rid of a number of well paid players. That’s the primary aim. He’s succeeded.

    We've sold Dobson outside the transfer window?

    Or was he sold 9 days ago and fans were simply not told?

    I wonder which Hungarian Club Dobson has gone to.
    No doubt the official website will keep Charlton fans updated fully and promptly as it always does <laugh> :emoticon-0172-mooni

    Didn't I read that the Old Scrote & Son have just sold Ujpest?

    I hope the tongue in your cheek is not hurting<laugh>
    5k season ticket holders next season and advertised gates of 9k will show a false economy in their strategy.
    Mind you, Mary, Mungo and Midge will be out on their a*** by then.
    All on hefty pay offs sadly.

    Yes, but the squad is even bigger now, so I doubt if the wage bill is less. Still, never mind the quality feel the width.

    With the team about to drop into the bottom 4 there is no way on Earth that the Club can put any kind of positive spin on selling George Dobson at this point. Indeed their action will probably put the seal on our relegation.

    There ought to be an angry reaction at the Valley on Tuesday.
    Presumably fans were not going to be told of this officially until after that game.
    The suits were hoping a couple of results from Jones was going to sweeten the pill. Tossers.

    With the final year of a contract he and Blackett-Taylor should have been tied down to new contracts.

    Jones has come out with a whopper when instead of coming back with a "no comment". Silly man.

    This is a big moment for our new manager.

    If Elfs is right and Dobson has already been sold then Nathan Jones must know about it.
    That would mean he is lying to fans.

    If Dobson has not actually been sold then I'd have to assume that somebody has played a huge trick on CL and we've fallen for it too.
    I would prefer the latter to be true if it means we still have Dobbo.
    Also, if Dobbo has gone I won't believe anything Jones says in the future.

    We don't need another liar for a manager.
    Ben Garner lied to fans but I wouldn't believe he had.
    DickPumb insisted he was lying and I fell out with him over it. But Dick was right.
    I'm not going to assume any Charlton manager is telling the truth from now on.
