Bowyer's interview on Charlton revolution

Lee Bowyer had a long interview on Talksport last night which you can hear here (a couple of minutes of adverts first): Bowyer on Talksport

He admitted that being Charlton manager had been 'challenging'. He had to deal with crazy stuff behind the scenes facing issues in two years that most managers wouldn't have to deal with in ten years. With some understatement, he said it could have been 'handled a bit better'.

Roland could have sold Lyle Taylor for a lot of money in the summer, but realised that Charlton could not score goals without him. Under the new regime he had been told he had money to spend but it had gone the opposite way.

As for restarting the season, Bowyer thought there were too many obstacles and hurdles in the way. There had been too many details that hadn't been thought about. For example, would players want to risk long-term injuries?

He would like to finish the nine games, but there was no right way of doing it.

Bowyer said he would rather be at his fishing lake, but that was not possible.
