Is he still wondering if we will have the same SMT in ten years' time? ST sales will be about 150 by then.
A fascinating & revealing insight into the low energy , apologist mentality of Seriously Red. Grapevine made a perfectly valid point in response to Methven gloating about the rule changes - it’s one very similar to that we have made. IE: Skinflints will just sit tight, pack an already weak team with even more Academy players who are not ready, and the whole club just atrophies that little bit more as a consequence. Look at SR’s reaction You can see why even the wet, hand wringing CAST deposed him in the end.
Only Charlton's academy has potential to make more money than it loses. Therefore, long term, the academy is the only part of CAFC that will survive. Ways can be found of removing all the loss making parts. Duchatelet has already done that in order to acquire the land he wants to develop. Methven or his successors can do it again. It is people like SR and Mundell who will say that the Championship is a bigger black hole than League One when it comes to losing money. Promotion would only increase annual losses. It is they who build a straw man, chasing the pipe dream of sustainable break-even football within the EFL. In short - We're all going to Hell. But only some of us can see it and feel anger about it. A few others are content to embrace our damnation, for the sake of a quiet life.
He’s a six stone version of BB. As you say - a real Establishment man (owner) brown Noser, who can’t handle be challenged on ITTV.
Spot on. Valley Gold was never created to fund Charlie Methven’s annual performance bonus. When I was posting on ITTV - pre censorship- I made clear that all CAFC managers under this mob are instructed to play Academy players, regardless. Bad for the individual players, bad for the club.

So still 50:50? ******* Final proof that Ridiculous cannot give an opinion or make a decision. Of course it is 50/50 if the ref is still checking the pitch with approximately 30 minutes to go

Going like a train 8 wins and a draw in the last 9. They're certainly in with a shout, whereas Stockport are dropping like a stone! Might be worth starting a thread on what looks like a six horse race. Impossible to tell exactly how many points required - the Opta Analyst site suggesting 73 points but that can shift every week. ***** Pick the bones out of the above!
“Maximising the improvement over the last few seasons” - we have just had our lowest league finish in 100 years. “Attendances are up on the last two seasons” - the turnstile count (actual bums on seats) for two of our most recent home games were among the lowest since we returned the Valley - barely 5,500 Charlton fans in one case. For a renowned stats geek, Mr Hawtrey does tend to play fast & loose with facts.
Absolute bull**** of the highest order, he would get destroyed with this face to face. Hawtrey, for once in your life give your opinion. I take it he works for ONS.
On the rare occasions he was challenged on ITTV, he DM’d Aaronaldo to complain that he was being mocked
According to Seriously Red aka Charles Hawtrey, the upturn in our form is in part due to some bloke in America being appointed our Chairman . Yeh …I really think that’s made all the difference. He’s peddling the myth about our healthy home attendances as well - he wants to stop pulling his bobble hat so low over his eyes in the Bovril Stand. Let’s see if “Charles” condemns his SMT if they sell Lloyd Jones in January. I’ll lay good odds that he makes excuses for them.
