The nightmare shows no sign of ending

Richard Cawley of the SLP reviews Charlton's plight in depth and it doesn't make for happy reading: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/relegation-to-league-one-feared-exits-of-star-players-and-doubts-over-bowyers-future-the-nightmare-shows-no-signs-of-ending-for-charlton/

Dillon Phillips and Alfie Doughty are the subject of serious interest elsewhere and in the last three years we have had to deal with a cumulative deficit of £40m by selling players.

The SLP also says that Adam Matthews is leaving.   He has been one of our better players this year, showing skill getting forward, but also doing his defensive duties well.   The shell shocked supremo is resigned to losing Matthews: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/lee-bowyer-fears-that-star-players-will-go-following-championship-relegation/

Bowyer himself is likely to go soon.  I do not think that the club has been in a worse state since the return to The Valley.   I try to be positive and optimistic, but it is becoming more difficult.
