    Two sackings and asking for a hand out now changes things hopefully.

    All day long.
    The managers shield the incompetence of the three clowns who cannot run a bath.
    Unfortunately they are being paid handsomely , but other than dented pride they could not give a f*** whilst thousands are thoroughly f***** off and worrying about hitting our lowest position in our history.

    Especially Scott, who's supposed to have the football expertise. Poor Recruitment is killing the club.

    The Yanks should be on their private jet as we speak.

    They should be on the plane more often, just to show a bit of interest.

    Who would have thought we'd get a downgrade on Martin Sandgaard's recruitment. Remember the glory days of Thomas Driesen?

    To be fair I always thought this lot were going to be a disaster, even before they took over and I tried to convince others but was ignored and insulted.

    When a potential buyers group have to resort to the use of third party social media football forums to try to get fans onboard, you should smell a rat.

    I wonder how SE7 are getting on with that civil case for breach of contract against Sandgaard. Or whether Sandgaard took any action against Freshfields for allegedly breaching Legal Privilege by leaking private correspondence. Or when Thomas has to pay the next £34M instalment he’s on the hook for to purchase The Valley <doh>, or when…………

    McGrandles and Taylor were back in action for the u-21's, so now we have the following midfielders
    McGrandles, Taylor, Dobbo, Coventry, Bakinson, Anderson, Fraser, Florini and Campbell. Anyone else?

    It's a good question isn't it.

    If we play 3 or 4 midfielders every game, how many should we have in our squad?
    Seven maybe?
    Six, if none are crocks.

    Isn't Dobson going to be gone by this time next week?

    I'm no tactical expert but I prefer a lean squad.
    If we go back through history, almost all of Charlton's successful squads (promotions or top 8 finishes) have been lean squads, usually with fewer than 30 players used all season.
    Often with a core of 14 or 15 and a handful of starts between the others.

    This season might see the most players we have ever used in one campaign.

    We also have a manager and assistant who had nothing to do with recruiting any of them.

    Word on CL is that we have increased our "final offer" and it meets with Dobson's approval.
    It didn't come from DubaiCafc so it's probably correct<laugh>

    I wonder if some fans still regard having a big squad as a prestigious thing. Maybe one of the last hangovers from our far distant Premiership era.

    For years and years (before I stopped buying them) I recall our squad list on the back of the match programme almost always being longer than that of our opponents on the day. Sometimes a lot longer.
    Always felt wasteful to me. A successful club should be tightly run, a lean machine.

    Lloyd Jones, Cambridge United, Permanent, Sandgaard

    Panutche Camara, Ipswich Town, Loan, Sandgaard

    SE7 Takeover

    Tennai Watson, MK Dons, Permanent

    Tayo Edun, Blackburn Rovers, Permanent

    Terry Taylor, Burton Albion, Permanent

    Macaulay Gillesphey, Plymouth Argyle, Permanent

    Anyone care to try to put these 18 (!) into the famed 8-8-8 system ? And how many of them are good enough to improve the team into a top 6 side from Thomas Sandgaard’s 10th place side ?

    And does the 8-8-8 system look like the plan we have been working to since SE7 took over or was it actually made up about two days before the online fans ‘meeting’ ?

    Ever heard of such a thing as an "elite L1 player" before? What an insult to the fans' intelligence (unless they actually are bonkers enough to believe it themselves).

    Massive contradiction really.

    Elite League 1 must have come from Methven.
