Mr Bowyer has let himself down. I’m a Charlton fan this type of behaviour is unnecessary. 

I hope he's been a better role model as a manager than he was a player.  I remember his on-field and off-field antics very well and he was a disgrace.  I hope that's all in the past, but this latest outburst is terrible and what a way for talent to be treated.  This must serve as a warning for other young players at Charlton.

 

As @Uilleamsaid, I doubt he'd be making this big a deal if the player wasn't such a big loss to them.  In some ways he's just reaffirming what we've been told by Gerrard and others at the club ..... this boy Aribo is an excellent signing.

 

Maybe Gerrard asked Souness to help him sort out Bowyer again.  Did he not hit him once before because of that fight he had on the pitch with Dyer?  ???

“I worked so hard to get him to this situation he is in now,” said the Charlton manager. “It is about progression for him. 

“So it’s a shame if he gets pushed to somewhere where it is not going to benefit him in his football career.  If he goes to Rangers that is not the right place for him to go for his football career.

“You have got Rangers and Celtic who are massive clubs, I get that. And I get that Steven Gerrard was a great player, so that’s an attraction. Those two things are the attraction – but not everything else.

“It doesn’t make sense on the football side. When people from England go and play for Celtic and Rangers it is at the end of their careers. That’s because it is very rare you get a move from Rangers to the Premier League, and I don’t mean any disrespect by that. 

“They might go from Rangers to the Championship, very rarely is it to the Premier League. For me he should stay in England and keep progressing. The move should benefit Joe.”

Bowyer said: “For us to be able to compete financially with Rangers or any other team really, it is not possible unfortunately. It’s a completely different league to what we’re offering. 

“I met and had a chat with Joe on Friday. I told him that if he was going to go, at least stay in England – because that is where the best football is. If you have got the opportunity to go and play Premier League football, then at least you are going to the best place.”
