    I see someone is trying to persuade people NOT to email him directly.
    I wonder why <laugh>

    My post refers to July (we signed Lyle Taylor back in June) but your general agreement is appreciated <ok>

    I think we should start a supporters trust and buy the club ourselves.

    I can rustle up £20... which is presumably double what the Aussies currently have available.

    But we are told the Aussies have a 5 year investment plan for the Premier League, worth £150m

    Magennis' impending sale is getting a mixed reaction on Charlton social media. Many fans love him for his 100% attitude, and some are claiming that Parky will play to his strengths at Bolton at he will do more with better players around him. Its a shame in some ways, because for much of his first season with us, before Gobbo forced him to play when unfit, he looked a real asset. Last summer he was rewarded with a new contract and never looked the same player again. When he is not 100% fit he tends to look slow and clumsy.

    Any talk about the fee Two Sh1ts is getting for Magennis seems irrelevant...as if Charlton will see a penny of it <laugh> As with Amos, watch out for an inferior and preferably free replacement to come in.

    I place much of the blame for this on the Aussies.

    5 year plan to reach the Premier League my arse. The only way we will be going out of this league is via relegation to L2.

    There was a bit of an argument on our WhatsApp group the other day on Josh.
    I'd keep him think he scored 10 last season with back up and him not having to play every game 90 mins can see him getting 15 goals a season.
    Never will be prolific but would be good to have him part of the squad.

    One week before the Season begins and players that are fit to play against Sunderland.

    Phillips,
    Solly,
    Sarr,
    Page,
    Pearce,
    Baeur,
    Marshall,
    Aribo,
    Forster- Caskey,
    Grant,
    Ajose,
    Taylor

    I have left the youngsters out as Bowyer says they are not ready. Pratley is also not ready. It feels like our Club is being run down.

    You old panicker Dick. Remember the wise words of Karel Fraeye when asked if the squad needed strengthening:- 'we can only play eleven players on the pitch at any one time' .

    I'll also remind you of a pearl from Katrien when one of the fans returned their season ticket. 'Sorry you feel that way but you'll be back when we win the league'.
    I wonder how many of us would live to see that if RD remains.

    Pratley & Ajose to come back in for Sunderland , but overall the team now looks even thinner than Lena Zavaroni’s bum.

    More cut backs today.

    No programme sellers, and can only purchase in the club shop.
