It is Imperative that Bowyer and his management team are here next season. Hopefully under new owners.

Bowyer don’t seem to be to bothered with it .. again the SLP putting negative spin on a non story Hardly a non story , it’s a fact . Only two more games of the normal season remain , and the manager still hasn’t received a proper contract offer despite doing a great job with what he has been given to work with . I think , LB loving his job , and loving the club, has cut the owner a lot more slack than he is entitled to ,or deserves. Others might well have walked away by now , and I’m hoping he won’t finally think it’s not worth the hassle and uncertainty, and say enough is enough .I don’t think he would have much difficulty in finding another job . Whether it’s just another example of his incompetence, lack of interest , or is because of the takeover shenanigans is anyone’s guess .

I really don't think he is bothered if Bowyer stays or goes. If he really wanted him to stay he would offer him a contract that he couldn't turn down. This protracted Takeover is starting to bite. We can't plan anything in the short or long term.

It's fairly simple for Bowyer. If he's not offered anything reasonable after the play offs then he'll go elsewhere. Let's just hope that if he doesn't renew his contract then he leaves us in style by getting us promoted!

It's an absolute joke that it's not sorted yet.
RD just hasn't got a clue how to run a football club.

This is far more important than any of the players staying. Get your finger out RD.

The SLP may be famous for stirring it, but there are genuine quotes there suggesting that Bowyer is clearly disappointed. I'm still not convinced that Bowyer is the finished article but I'm happy to watch him learning here.

I don't think the Supporter's Trust currently has the ear of the owner.

Bowyer looked touched when we sang sign him up after the Gillingham final whistle.
Nothing will surprise me under this regime.

That must surprise you.... Yep! I was wrong with my prediction..gives us another reason why Bowyer should be given a contract given with what he’s got! Bare in mind we started with 4 subs when I made that prediction...

I'm starting to get worried that we aren't going to manage to keep Bowyer if RD doesn't act soon.

Perhaps the lack of agreement about a contract is an indication that a take-over is close? Maybe the would-be new owners have their own plans for a management team - plans that don't include Lee Bowyer.
I believe we don't actually know what is was about the contract Bowyer was offered that he could not agree to. Presumably it was some unusual terms, perhaps ones that undermined his security in the job?
Or perhaps therre is no link between Bowyer's contract issues and a possible take-over. Maybe it is just another example of RD insisting on doing things his own unique way.

I don't think the Supporter's Trust currently has the ear of the owner. Roland does strange things sometimes but he has feelings same as everyone. Telling him to get lost...but also do what we want isn't going to work. In his mind he'll have the grafitti attack, visit to the Belgian Embassy etc. He will not listen and at this stage, hassling him will only make things worse.

Ridiculous , that LB contract situation will not be solved until the end of the season . No matter what he says in public , he can’t be happy about being out of contract shortly . He did say at the last update that he expected it to done soon , but still no completion. Really , how long can it take .?
As lardi mentioned above , I have also wondered whether it has been affected by the latest takeover news , and the 30th June quoted . With RD , it’s a hard one to call , and just may be another example of lack of interest in all things Charlton.
It’s lucky for us that Lee seems to be able to still focus on his job , however uncertain it may be . I hope it’s resolved very soon , he’s earned it and deserves it .

The lack of a firm contract for Bows and the price of 2nd phase STs are possible indicators that RD maybe ready to sell. Only time will tell boys and girls 🙏

Bowyer not worried no one accepts the first contract that offered , but it will be done . I know Bowyer was not the Aussies first choice as manager 12 months ago , but don’t see any major issues expect it like Bowyer says to be sorted by end of May

Not panic just concern as you always want to nail down perhaps your biggest single asset!

The longer it goes without the contract being signed, the more concern.

I've been supporting Charlton since 1985. In that time we have had 2 managers who were the 'perfect fit for us: Lennie and A.C.
I believe that Lee is also in that category and it could be a long wait for another if we lose him.
When Lennie and A.C were appointed there was no reason to believe they would be great Charlton managers. On paper Pardew had the most impressive CV.
Unfortunately the same fans who are asking RD to sort out Lee's contract are the same ones who are telling RD to get lost. Had they faced reality a couple of years ago the fanbase might have had more influence. But for the sake of ego and the appearance of doing something (futility) we have burned our bridges and can only hope that our owner sees reason.

I've supported since 1965 and can still say, I agree with those three managers. The most important signing Roland, could ever make is Lee. I'm living in hope, that he sees sense, with this, as many would have jumped ship, like KR. As for the letter, written by the trust, I find it embarrassing to be honest. Was it not one of their well known members, or was she just from WAR, that stated Lee Bowyer was not fit to be our manager?...or words along those lines Now they want to tell him what to do, and expect him to listen..
