Charlton whistleblower

Did Charlton ever get a fine or face any disciplinary action, after the whistle blowing incidents at the Valley at the end of October?

Transfers in and out?
at 16:11 18 Aug 2022

If, as it would seem from KMc's latest comments, we are still looking for an additional player, surely we need to be moving on a player or two? If I am not wrong, we are bang on the squad limit of 22 (without GKs and U21s). Presumably, Penney is deemed surplus to requirements, now we have Davis and Leigh. I would have thought that Ndaba would want a loan, if he is now 6th choice CB. Aside from Simpson, any other likely departures?

KMc is right about fans paying to see the ball in play more......
at 16:01 18 Aug 2022

The last thing I want to see is a player wiping the ball with a towel, before stealing a few yards and hurling it into a melee of players. There should be some sort of rule that throw-ins need to be taken within say 5 seconds of the ball being available.

Talking about referees and needed rule changes, surely the prevalence of deliberate obstructions could be cut out too? I have no problem with a player shielding the ball, but when he starts to play the man with no regard for the ball, or just moves to block a player's run, completely off the ball, that has to be punished. Always used to be an indirect free kick.

And while we are at it. Managers, Trainers, and staff in the coaching zone, not giving the ball back. Ungentlemanly conduct, yellow card would fix that.

Any other little grumbles?

Really hope that it is not the case,......

....but what if Cook without Richardson is like Clough without Taylor? Presumably, only a few people could realistically judge that. Lee Evans being one.

Anybody have any idea of how Richardson complemented Cook's qualities, presumably in a way that Jeffers, Roberts and the kit man do not?

looks like he will rip this league apart. OK, he might come up against better oppo, but he has pace, control, strength, positivity and he has a shot on him. One of the positives from today.

Question to the Blue Action group. When are you now planning the protest.......
at 08:04 10 Jan 2021

.......but equally, if not more, importantly, what are your aims in protesting?

Removal of Lambert is a start, but trusting ME to appoint a new manager would be like removing the wallpaper, and then re-wallpapering over the cracks underneath.

We really need an overhaul of the management of the club from top down. If ME remains in charge, he needs help in decision-making. A supporter representative and an experienced Director of Football is the minimum needed at Boardroom level to provide ME with that help.

Essentially, ME has taken the attitude, "it is my money, I'll do with the club as I want". It is clearly evident where that has gotten us. The supporters also put a lot of money into the club, but have little, or no, say.

In any case, good on you, Blue Action. Your efforts are much appreciated.

Is being pleased that Marcus Evans is owner of our club.....
at 08:00 29 Aug 2019

......because he hasn't (yet) inflicted on us the woes suffered by Bury and Bolton recently similar to being pleased that the world leader is President Trump because he has't (yet) started a nuclear war?

I am being deliberately provocative, but only to make the point that Evans is similar to Trump in that he is out of his depth and, for whatever reason, continues to fail to appoint people with more experience/knowledge to help him. I am pleased that Evans hasn't (yet) taken the decision to close the club down, but that is pretty is as far as my appreciation is concerned.

His ownership of this club has to viewed as an unmitigated failure, taking us from Premiership aspirants to 3rd tier football for the fist time in 62 years. We are completely reliant on Paul Lambert, as there is nobody else at the club to question any of his decisions or oversee the running of the club.

For those who believe that his millions should be appreciated, my argument would be that he has spent the majority of that money (very) unwisely. He now appears to be out of his depth financially, and puts as little as possible into the club, but he still will not sell it.

Be pleased that we have not suffered like Bury and Bolton, but let's not paper over the cracks and pretend that everything is well at our football club.

How will the Evans era end?
at 14:41 8 Aug 2019

If Evans won't sell, and he is unwilling to inject more than the absolute minimum, ITFC will continue to lose competitive ground each season. The hope is that despite the competitive disadvantage Evans saddles his first team managers with, that the manager, his staff and the players can collectively outperform their peers. The odds are stacked against that over the longer term.

Evans won't invest in good people. He has shown that he not only has the capability to make costly mistakes, but to repeat them. He is out of depth in the football world, yet he will not appoint (an) experienced professional(s) to run the show for him, after 11 years of failure. Despite what he might want you to believe, relegation is a direct consequence of Evans' poor management of this club. His "5-point plan" of December 2016 was supposed to have the club compete at the upper end of the Championship, not League 1!

It is baffling to try to work out why he remains here, funding the deficit every season. My best guess is that he sees ITFC as some sort of challenge, from which he does not want to walk away as a complete loser. My hope is that if we do gain promotion back to the Championship this season, that he will view that as a minor success, and take the opportunity to sell the club. However, that is only a wish, but we need to be careful what we wish for, right? -:))

So to recap, he won't sell, he won't invest in it, he can't manage it, and he won't invest in good management either.

Where does it all end?

Anyone watching the match on iFollow also have a problem with the sound quality (sounds a bit like they are broadcasting from inside a goldfish bowl)? It is no great problem not hearing what Brenda has to say, but I'd quite like to hear the crowd etc.
