Problem as I see it is that there is so much passion relating to the future of our great club, however it is so fragmented and on occasion full of hotheads merely blowing off steam although that of course is their right.<br />What we need is some sort of unified approach towards the EFL and any one else involved in this tragic event. CAST tried but in my view are perhaps not radical enough. We all remember the work of CARD which raised our profile greatly.<br />Many years ago when we were in the Premier League I raised the issue of lack of TV coverage with Sky aided by that nice guy in Prague.<br />My point is we need to join together and do more to put pressure on the EFL and others, nothing illegal of course but a real concerted effort. I am 70 years young live in the Scottish Borders but would have no problem getting involved.<br />Anybody else ?Charlton in my bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784506595501455880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-30786957796643549822020-09-18T12:06:35.366+01:002020-09-18T12:06:35.366+01:00Interesting view on the ongoing farce Dave. Sadly ...Interesting view on the ongoing farce Dave. Sadly after travelling so many miles and seeing so many games of my favourite team I have fallen out of love with football in recent months.<br />The amount of money at the top of the game is ridiculous (ie the £110m windfall to get promoted to the premier league), the farce of parachute payments which makes the Championship an unequal challenge for all but the 3 relegated clubs from the Premier League. Then there are the money-grabbing selfish non-contract abiding players - loyalty to your employer Taylor? Laughable.<br />Then there is a system that allows totally unsuitable individuals and chancers to take over clubs (Coventry, Pompey, Bury, Blackpool, Charlton etc etc) and ruin or destroy them by running them down and trying to flog off the valuable assets such as the land on which the grounds stand - and then there's the EFL themselves ... who admit to "making mistakes" of the Sheff Wed affair yet did nothing to make good their "mistakes".<br />No, I'm afraid that I've had it with our national game which is rotten to the core from the FA down.<br /><br />Suddenly watching cricket or playing golf seems like a much better option for my dodgy ticker that cannot stand the strain of the ongoing farce at the Valley. I really do hope that Sandgaard takes the club over and takes it back to where it should be - but I won't be there to see it sadly. Enough is enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
