TurtleyTerrible 25 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It always makes me laugh when people start to analyse stuff when we're losing and yet when we're winning they don't. Youre looking for something thats not there which in reality one player, one purchase could have been the difference between success and failure this season Personally I think there is absolutely nothing wrong at the club apart from not having got rid of the manager at the start of the season and in some respects I can understand why we didn't This i hope was an oversight, some footballing naivety at play. Im sure it wont happen under Chinsari again Stop over analysing like a girl wondering why her boyfriend broke up with her. Its football. If you dont like it dont pay youre money. Thats the ONLY choice you have, we have and its what I do. I love reading stuff on here. I come on every few weeks just to see what the crack is and your all imploding.

A couple of players short ,to be brought in next two windows and a half decent manager and next season we can have a good crack at it. Forget the stripes, kit not in stock, triangle of failure,Wally with a brolly, CEO of an unfashionable club. Everything else negative. We aren't skint. We might have to be more clever in the market but other clubs manage. It's not all doom and gloom but people are sounding like it is. Poor season but next one doesn't have to be.

Greengrass 2,817 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Certainly think we need to be more clued up in the transfer market, and negotiating contracts with players. Yes the first half of the season has been grim, but with the changes that are going to take place in January on and off the pitch, it hopefully will be the kick up the backside the club needs.

Thay are in the process of selling Charlton with a view to re investing in another football club. that's the bit that scares the bobbar out out of me Link to post Share on other sites

I do have an open mind about this Belgian lass though. Who knows. Isn't foreign ownership of football clubs a vanity project for most owners. Abramovich doesn't do it for his love of football, for the owners it's mostly telling the other money men that they have bigger b***s than them. Think it was Simon Jordan who said if you want to buy a football club don't bother just dig a big hole chuck a few million quid into it and bury it. Saves you time and hassle and you end up with the same result Link to post Share on other sites
TheNightShift 525 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Since DC arrived we have enjoyed our two most successful seasons for many a year. Carlos losing the plot and the horrific injury list that have resulted in our poor run of form are not his fault. The pitiful whingeing and whimpering of some people on this site make me want to vomit Link to post Share on other sites

poite 6,579 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Fantastic post. I said a while ago that if someone gave me a truck load of cash I could do the job to the same standard as chansiri. I honestly believe that. I'm more than capable of buying a new pitch, scoreboard, a team of players whilst hiking up prices and changing the kit colours and badge etc. I think most of us could do it. Everything else commercially and operationally is a disaster as it would be if an inexperienced numpty like myself was in charge. The guy hasn't got a clue what he's doing. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but in my view 19 people who have read this post are in complete denial. Edited January 2, 2018 by poite 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agree entirely but seeing as according to Coops you can only comment if you run a multi-million Pound organisation, then we aren't allowed a say. Link to post Share on other sites

There’s no specific mistakes mentioned in his rant. The only mistake I can recall him acknowledging is buying players to treat the fans - a strange one that one - but I couldn’t find any in his other ask the chairman stuff and I just reread very quickly 1-12 but couldn’t find 11 easily so didn't read that one. He talks about learning about football but justifies every decision he’s made. Link to post Share on other sites
swfc-dan 1,249 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Good to see Kivo back and agree with his points. I had no idea Miere was that Charlton Athletic woman who was running a shitstorm of a club. That is shocking we have appointed her as CEO, and incredibly, incredibly worrying. That appointment smells like doom to me, I have no confidence whatsover he will choose a successful manager now. Miere? More like Mierda! (Spanish for sh*t) Link to post Share on other sites
