What a strange statement

from Charlton. I know it’s not Leeds related but it shows how wrong some clubs can get it. Ok there’s no agreement but why so much detail?

What do you mean “not Leeds related?”

It’s totally Leeds related!

I wonder who wrote that statement. A college student? Very poor.

Well tentatively I guess.

Imagine if Radz had written that.

Wonder what Charlton fans make of it?

Terrible

But the funny thing is, Cellino was doing weird things like this, and yet people were constantly backing him. Some who have posted on this thread.

Morale of the story.

You can support the club, without justifying bad practices from the owner, which you wouldn’t justify at other clubs

Good point very well made Wakey.

Poor tactics on behalf of Charlton hierarchy and disclosing elements of Bowyer's remuneration is unacceptable.

However, wasn't Bowyer recently applying for other vacancies?

Yet the tactics worked

Personally I’m no fan of Bowyer after his contract shenanigans when leaving Leeds.

Can completely understand Charlton’s frustrations and wanting to give as much transparency as possible but was a very amateurish statement.

With government pushing to remove NDAs one hopes we get more integrity in dealings and transparency but with sums of money involved in football these days one doubts that will ever really happen.

Who wins the moral argument here?!
