    More footage (which I find quite saddening) of the protests at Charlton...










    The 'two percent, you're having a laugh!' chant is about their CEO saying that only maybe 2% of fans are unhappy with the ownership.

    Around 2,000 fans reported to have protested outside the main entrance today, both before and after the match.

    No manager, no director of football, no chief scout and no direction whatsoever. 23rd in the Championship and apparently set to sell some of their star players this window.

    There but for the grace of God...

    It does rather put our own current "troubles" into perspective.

    Some pretty awful comments from the CEO, too. Comparing not being happy with the club to not being happy with a meal at the restaurant. Equating fans to 'customer' and saying it's not 'their club'. Just horrendous PR, if nothing else.

    She also said that having managers in 20 months 'proved to be the right decision every time' - err, really?!

    Ex-media staff (who resigned from their roles) are actively encouraging protests on Twitter and revealing some of the things that have happened behind the scenes, and so forth. Such as the owner saying he doesn't care if they win, not attending a game since October 2014 and telling the managers who to pick.

    It's all on YouTube to anyone interested. Been a couple of pieces in the national press (notably The Guardian) this weekend too, if anyone wants to read into it a bit further.

    I hope they get fresh faces at the top of the club.

    I watched it. You did well and Jason did have a good game. You can keep him as long as we can't think of a Premier league team who needs a RB where he'd get some game time.....<whistle>

    Dean Hammond extends his loan spell with Sheffield Utd until the end of the season. Nigel just needs that helping hand...
