it would be nice to think that the reign of Duchatalet is soon to come to an end, but as most blogs are saying "We will believe it when we see it!"
The spectre of january sales hangs over the club to fund Duchatalets losses prior to any sale. There are very few players we can afford to lose, as when Joe Dodoo came in for Robinson we need bodies in the house, although it is hoped that the contribution from others is greater than that of the Dodoo!! If we do have to lose anyone then Ajose would be my sacrificial lamb, although even he in his languid way is contributing when he is on the pitch. Two fo teh goals in Taylors Mansfield hat trick were Ajose assists as was taylors goal v Wimbledon when we looked like we would be locked out.
Whilst some would say sense is not a word in Duchatalets vocabulary, it does not make sense for him to have a garage sale in January.
If he has a buyer on the doorstep, one of their motivations to buy now or soon is that we look like we could be a good bet for promotion, with very little extra investment. As a League 1 club he knows that we are difficult to market and the prospect of operating at the Chamionship level and gateway to the Prem makes us a lot more saleable at even his inflated prices. Selling Taylor and playing Hackett- Fairchild i not going to push us over the line, if anything we need a modern day Jim Melrose to come in and give us that final impetus to take us, if not to the promised land, at least half way through the Red Sea.
Maybe at a stretch a transfer fund of £3 million comes in all is does is offset the costs for a max of 5 months, whilst reducing the overall value of the club and extending the period without a sale well beyond the 5 months during which we have the zero income summer period.
So Roland .. you are a business man, cut your losses, keep the team together, even invest in 2-3 players and you will make your sale and Charlton, CARD, CAST et al will never again darken your doorstep, figuratively or in reality.
