    Survivalist theory dictates that you need to adapt. Because everyone else didn't adhere, is not a valid excuse. After it failed in a year, should have stopped.

    Was it any surprise we were tipped for relegation when the season kicked-off?

    That should have been the warning sign.

    Bump.

    Check out the original post from 18 months ago.

    Oh for the days when we used to moan about selling a player for £11m <whistle>

    Taken from Twitter - this is now our current 11, sorry...10..., if you take out the players leaving or strongly linked with moves.

    “I’m not hiding anything. Me, the owner and Steve are trying to make us stronger. Give me those four players – one of them is a bit hit and miss because of the position he plays – and we’ll be top-six and pushing for the top two. That is 100 per cent.

    Who is Bowyer trying to kid, other than himself? Very disappointing, I thought he was better than that.

    Bowyer will be held to what he says (unless he is replaced of course).
    We knew almost nothing about how LB would manage the team when he took over, or his working relationship with Duchatelet. Now perhaps we are learning more.

    Karl Robinson said that because of the cost-cutting he had masterminded during his time as Charlton's manager, the Club would be able to do "whatever it wants" in the summer 2018 transfer window.
    If KR was still our manager he would have been held to that statement.

    Olly Groome should be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

    Groome is a slimy little quisling.

    Please quote me.

    Thousands of badly paid jobs like his out there ...he has chosen to earn off Duchatelet for the last 4 years because he likes the ego boost that goes with it.

    ExeterAddick has speculated on ITTV that the centre forward Charlton may be trying to buy could be Lyle Taylor from AFC Wimbledon.

    28 year old Taylor scored 18 goals in all competitions for AFC last season, 14 in the league.
    And 14 in total the season before that (10 in the league).

    Nope, imagine the impression it would have created if ALL the Duchatelet employees had refused to work for him after it became apparent what he was like. Many walked of course, but a few (“the sensible staff”) decided to try to have it both ways.

    I’ve got less than no time for them, particularly when stewards were beating up our fans.

    I'll give Mel Baroni her due and she told them to f*** off:emoticon-0137-clapp

    In the real world not everybody is going to jack things in, bills to pay etc.

    The stewards stuff has been bad news.

    How much money did you give Dushitelet last season btw?:emoticon-0172-mooni
