He aint played since leaving Derby, if hes wise, no probs, probs got £££'s locked away.  I didn't have him down as wise though.  Still only 31/32.

the list is too long to remember all of them


Going back to 78, sacking Jimmy Bloomfield (because he couldn't get us from top 10 to top 6!!) and replacing him with Frank McClintock, who promptly took us down

Most of David Pleat's signings. One of them, Ricky Hill was signed on a three year deal at 35 with a proviso that if he was released early he'd not only be paid off but thay he would be provided with a Sierra Cosworth and a second car as compensation!! He left after a year when Pleat was sacked.

Replacing O'Neill with Taylor. To be fair any manager replacing O'Neill would have struggled. Taylor had £18m to spend from Heskey and Lennon sales and spent £5.25m on Ade Akinbiyi, and the rest on journeymen. Even now when I see him as our record signing in the books I cringe. Furthermore the fee is unlikely to be broken ever!

Taylor bumped up the wages of the whole squad when O'Neill left. By the time he "lost" the squad and we went down we were stuffed financially

Signing Dennis Wise. A cancer on team spirit, La Manga incident and then he and the excrecable Eric Hall sued us and took us into administration

The way my club handled administration, with regard to its long term suppliers, and the way it did so on the sly just before points penalties came in. Ugh.

Not too many in the last three years fortunately, but they're coming. It wouldn't be my club without them.

Me Dad always says letting Norman Hunter go to Bristol when he had 3-4 good years left in him. I mean anyone who can drop Lee like this deserves respect.

I don't think it will happen, but any club employing Marlon King's services.

The FA will make a ruling on this, if they have any guts at all.

I never understood why George Graham sold Kevin Richardson after he'd just had the season of his life

This could be a long list:

Appointing Ray Harford as manager
Appointing Stewart Houston as manager
Appointing John Gregory as manager
Sacking Paolo Sousa
Sacking Ian Holloway
Buying Vinnie Jones
Not getting rid of the Thompsons 5 years earlier
Allowing Chris Wright to run the club
Allowing Gianni Paladini within 20 miles of Loftus Road
Buying a whole stack of Chelsea rejects


Enough? I could go on.

As a charlton fan my two words apply more to my club more than yours but still can link to both
