Bowyer quits

[ravenrover]

That went well then, gets promotion then quits over wages

[redarmy82]

Maybe they don't want to be held to ransom over wages.

[German Rover]

Maybe he wanted rewarding for the success he's brought them?

[sedwardsdrfc]

Not sure you should decide your own reward though. His contract must have had a promotion salary increase clause like most players would so he'll already have something to show for it

[Chris Black come back]

He has done a ‘Ferguson’ though and quit late in close season, so they are at a disadvantage already.

[drfchound]

It not particularly late is it, only mid June.

[steve@dcfd]

McCann to Charlton?

[Chris Black come back]

It not particularly late is it, only mid June.

The new manager - who is likely to take a week or two minimum to sign up - is 4-6 weeks worse off in terms of shaping his squad than his peers in the league. He has lost that time and will not make it back this season.

[ravenrover]

McCann to Charlton?

Why? Charlton are in financial trouble and can't match Championship wages?

[roversdude]

Don’t think he was ever comfortable being manager there

Club statement says they’re not bringing anyone else in until the club is sold.

Also it looks like Joe Aribo has just signed for Rangers. Rumours are Bauer will be next to leave and a few expecting a low offer being excepted for Lyle Taylor. Brilliant what promotion gets you eh..

[since-1969]

Anything could happen now we’re leaking players , so why not him going as well  . McCann has to know that  we don’t buy players , and board know absolutely f*** all about player recruitment or left back from Central midfielder. The signs are their to be seen , no evidence that they have a plan D never mind a plan A, B or C . The writing was on the wall with our piss poor preseason fixtures , says it all . S*** budget .

Oh my god, I bet we can’t fulfil our first pre season game as we won’t have any players.

What’s wrong with our pre season games ?

[keith79]

Someone told me they offered  him a rubbish basic wage that was improved by a win bonus

Where did that info come from then Keith.

[Boomstick]

Mcann will be on their radar.

Ah but would he leave for more money?
Surely that would be displaying double standards.

The issue was Andrews negotiating tactics, and going back on his word.

Get over it, he won’t be the first, or last, to try to improve his earnings.
It happens in football.
Marquis signed a three year deal and could be off after two for more money.
McCann is under contract as well.

[Drover]

Ironically though,we had our highest league finish since before Fergie,when Fergie left us at a disadvantage.I don't think either DF or Bowyer planned the timing of their quiting,its likely to be about unhappiness with something to do with the plans for coming season.
Just had a thought,could he be leaving for a bigger club?He did get a club with off field problems and apparently lower budget than the club has been used to promoted.Next Leeds manager?

[karldew]

“talkSPORT understands Lee Bowyer wants to stay as Charlton manager and has been left 'bewildered' by the statement from Roland Duchatelet announcing his exit”

Shambles!

I don’t think so.
Why you think we should give a hostile reception to one of our ex players is more baffling.
DA is only getting the best deal he can for himself and his family.
The injury he picked up a couple of years ago could have finished him and maybe that is in his mind.
Players are only an injury away from not having a job.
I guess you will apply that to Marquis then if he ever comes to play against us(assuming he does move on for more money).

[phil old leake]

My understanding was that Bowyer never wanted to be a manager anytime anywhere. He just fell into it

[Dare to dream!]

Apparently Bowyer and the chairman are holding more talks tomorrow. He probably won't leave.

Trying to compare the Andrew situation to the marquis situation tells me your missing the point.
The 2 situations are completely different.

He hasn’t
Bowyer was out of contract and couldn’t agree a new deal.
The state of their owner makes me think it ain’t bowyer at fault

Well they are different if you think that two players leaving the club for a better deal elsewhere is different.

[nortikorner]

as he got the same agent as Danny Andrews
