5 end of season questions

1. Will Robinson ever succeed at Charlton ?

2. How many out of Holmes, Magennis & Konsa will be sold this summer?

3. Does CARD have any future?

4. What will our average home attendance be next season ?

5. Biggest Charlton worry going forwards.

 

1. Highly unlikely

2. At least 2 of the 3, probably all 3.

3. Not without huge reform.

4. 7,000

5. Losing the next generation of Charlton fans, like we did at Selhurst.

 

1) He's got as much chance of succeeding as anyone else has under Roland &co.: zero
2Holmes def, Konsa probably; Magennis maybe
3)They've still got the money, what can they do with it? If they open their doors to the other fans they may have a part to play
4)6,000. ..Officially 9,000
5)Roland, Meire and Murray will still be here. Oh, and relegation.

 

1) not if he goes down the route of making us a team of MK cast offs.

2) konsa and holmes. Dont think mag showed enough all season to warrant a move up.

3) they should stand down and hand over the task to B20 (If they want it). But like KM, criticism spurs them on. Ben Hayes post on CL was up there with one of the worst I've ever seen.

4) think they'll stagnate.

5) lost generation part 2

 

1. no, he's not good enough. he's stumbled on a winning formation / line up by accident, but all that means is that players standing out will now be sold to line RD's pockets.

2. Holmes will be.

3. Yes, they have the money. No one else is able to attract donations of £50k or able to. They need a new hard core division though whereby being nice is outlawed.

4. 5000-6000

5. there are no signs that the regime have learnt a thing. and we still owe them £50m even when they leave.

 

1. Will Robinson ever succeed at Charlton? No, because the next owner will bring in a new manager
2. How many out of Holmes, Magennis & Konsa will be sold this summer? Holmes and Konsa are as good as gone already
3. Does CARD have any future? No, because RD will be gone soon
4. What will our average home attendance be next season? 14-15,000
5. Biggest Charlton worry going forwards? Longer queues on match-days

 

@Ponders

 

The league is so crap he maybe
Holmes
Not for me
Depends how well we do a lot is results lead whatever people say
Getting relegated again

 

I think that is well underway, with both Palace and West Ham offering Premier League Football.

1. Can't see Robinson making a success of it. Building something out of nothing is for wily old hands like Warnock.

2. Konsa, Holmes, Magennis? I can see them all going.

3. CARD has a future as an exclusive niche cult, which inevitably will have its followers.

4. Home attendances? If a takeover doesn't happen, 8,000 tops.

5. Biggest worry? Club and ground being separated again.

I think A2C would call me a boo boy. And we don't need em dahn ah grahnd

 

1) The league is so poor and I can't see that changing. If (a massive if) they can cut loose the crap on stupid long contracts and retain the handful of good signings from last summer then there's no reason they can't build. Holmes was a good signing at a fantastic price, whoever made that decision should be listened to more.

2) At Duchatelet's Charlton, Holmes is as good as gone. He only signed a 2 year deal and Duchatelet would rather sell than take a risk and let him go for nothing. Konsa is on a fairly long deal and is a defender so doesn't get the limelight of a forward like Lookman. However, again, if the price is right he'll be gone. Magennis has been too poor to warrant a transfer, however he also only has a year left on his contract too.

3) Only if they pull their heads out of their collective arse and end the exclusivity. The similarities to Duchatelet are scary.

4) We'll have more 4 figure official attendances than last year.

5) The legacy that will be left to the next owner. Largely the potential split in ownership between club and ground and the stupid contracts. Around £1,050,000 p/a goes to Texeira and Watt alone, that's 8% of turnover based on 2015/16 figures.

 

1-4 Could not give a flying.

5 The prospect of being relocated and what devastation he will leave. It could be another 20 years before we get a sniff of the Premier League.

They have destroyed in 2 years all the hard work of the previous 25 years.

 

1. Will Robinson ever succeed at Charlton ?
No. I'm fairly convinced he is tactically por, and his Championship with MKD was down to the strikers he had available. Plus he hasn't noticed yet but Daisy and Roland are quietly tying his shoelaces together, and when he tried to rum, he'll fall flat.

2. How many out of Holmes, Magennis & Konsa will be sold this summer?
As many as posible. Why would we keep them when tere are players out there who cost nothing?

3. Does CARD have any future?
Yes, but they need to face up to sunday's flop, and get some fresh ideas in.

4. What will our average home attendance be next season ?
Down again. We're getting down to the hardcore, but a good few will vanish this summer.

5. Biggest Charlton worry going forwards
Too many to list. The vanishing fans, the mounting debts, the threat of parts of the ground being redeveloped, the posibility of some mug buying the club and letting the current owner keep the ground, Daisy being allowed to take decisions. Christ, ask me what good news I can see on the horizons, and I'll offer Ponders rumours.

 

1. Will Robinson ever succeed at Charlton ?
Success for Duchatelet is get the best price for Charlton, that'll go up if promoted, so if he allows KR to keep & sign his players he could succeed.

2. How many out of Holmes, Magennis & Konsa will be sold this summer?
Same as above, RD might hold on to them for the bigger pay-off

3. Does CARD have any future?
Whilst RD is here they have, but they're a relatively small group of protestors, because thousands of fans have & will always protest in their own way, attendances throughout the Club's history prove that.

4. What will our average home attendance be next season ?
Depends how the teams doing, but sadly the Club is definitely back down to a hardcore of 5k

5. Biggest Charlton worry going forwards.
That Roland Duchatelet is still here.

 

1. Will Robinson ever succeed at Charlton ?
Unlikely, but not impossible. 'Ever' is going to be just next season though; if Charlton are mid-table again or lower at Christmas he will be gone.

2. How many out of Holmes, Magennis & Konsa will be sold this summer?
Tricky one. I hope I'm wrong but I think Holmes and Konsa will be sold, because I fear both may want to go.

3. Does CARD have any future?
It will be around until Duchatelet is gone. What happens to it at that point will be very interesting.

4. What will our average home attendance be next season ?
Assuming Duchatelet is still our owner, about 2,000 down on this season I think. Some really positive signings might influence that, but such signings are unlikely.

5. Biggest Charlton worry going forwards?
Another season of stagnation, decline, or slight progress but still nowhere near enough to challenge the top 6. Every season we fall short is going to make the next season even less likely to be a good one. The longer we languish in the 3rd tier the more likely RD will settle for some kind of partial sale - the worst possible outcome.

 

All of the above is pretty much spot on.

I think people should not criticise CARD regard the future protests.

This/Last season was always going to be a wash out as the hard-liners had f***** off the homes. The 15/16 season had the fans left with season-tickets who were not going to renew anymore, the protests at The Valley are finished.

 

CARD are fair game for the flak.

Their protests on the final day - dubbed "endgame" , were risible.

They have also had over £54,000 in fans donations and achieved absolutely f*ck all !

 

No one should be exempt from criticsm, nor praise.

 

I should be exempt from criticism because I am very sensitive

 

Except AH. It does go without saying, tbf

 

There is nobody on ITTV deserving any praise either.

The state of that site
