  • Brilliant news now the board must back him with the players needed.

    That’s gonna be a chunky pay off in January! 

    :-) 
    Or a massive compensation payment to us!

    This is good news and I am in no way suggesting otherwise. I do recall the last five-year contract offer made to a Charlton manager and what he said about that, though, so I wouldn’t take the term itself too literally.

    Good news and a welcome contribution to stability. Surely says something about the owners commitment.

    It says everything about the owners' commitment.
  • I'm 100% not in the know but as others have said I doubt NJ would sign a 5 year contract unless he had been offered a decent budget for players. 
    All things Charlton are starting to look very positive. 
    Not automatically true. 

    It will be financially advantageous to him with no jeopardy given his stock is rising. He’d surely sign anyway. 

    But i agree it may suggest they will also allocate a better transfer budget. I still think it will be modest however given comments from Carter previously. 
  • And like been saying it was all ridiculous rubbish he was never going … 
    Isn't hindsight a wonderful gift...

  • it's important enough news for the SSN yellow ticker.......nice to be back in the Championship eh

    It still hasn't really sunk in with me yet - but I'm getting there. First signing and the fixture list will hit it home.
    We're in a proper league (probably the best league) after playing pub teams for far too long.

    The first couple of signings will give the best indication. 

    My feelings too. The comments about the size of the budget always to be taken with a pinch of salt. 

    Say we have a tiny budget, and the positive atmosphere will sink like a stone, say we're completely loaded, and prices and wage expectations will rise.

    Sends out a very positive message to the players at the club deciding whether to sign (Small), players NJ wants to bring in and us the supporters (season tkt sales etc) and puts to bed(wetting)  the Cardiff nonense. We can move fwd togther for  what will be a tough season ahead in the championship, one i'm really excited about. Championship will mean Jimmy Seed packed, 18-20K Valley crowds (hopefully) and some cracking away grounds to visit. Who knows where it might lead, who would have thought a few yrs ago that Brentford & Bournemouth would become established Prem sides and Man Utd would be scrapping the bottom of the Prem barrel , "football bloody hell" as a well know scot said....Lets enjoy this moment

    can you remind us what that was

    Phil Chapple in who we trust.

    Should've been 7 years. No commitment from Jones and the owners 😉

    As someone who was concerned he might be tempted by Cardiff, I've changed the bedsheets now and I'm feeling much reassured. What a great sign this sends, making us all the more attractive to potential recruits, who now know the club have confidence their man can deliver, if they ever doubted it before.

    Cardiff weren’t taking no for an answer, even until the middle of this week - Cawley.

  • It’s good news whatever way it’s looked at - of course we still don’t know the transfer budget and it’s not a definitive indicator of that but if he’d walked then we’d have had a pretty good idea it was insufficient to work with - it could still be but there’s a distinct possibility that it’s good - we shall see as the signings start rolling in

    Bowyer in 2020. He rejected it and he said the length of it wasn’t meaningful.
  • The budgets key. Anything less than what Jones considered to be adequate and it’s hard to see him signing a longer contract. A promotion followed straight away by a relegation isn’t what’s needed on NJ’s recovering CV. I think he sees that a steady progression is actually the best way forward and I agree. Next season and probably the couple after will be all about consolidation. All being well the foundations will be in place to push further. That’s the journey I believe Jones sees himself being on.

    Perceptive of Bow, given Matt Southall offered it.

    It must be something that Jones himself must see as acceptable at least as its not like his previous deal was about to run out. That's not to say I expect Birmingham levels of spending but I'm fairly sure we're not going to be running on loose change either.
  • What a great start to the weekend ! 

    Two KCCC victories now would make Fanny very happy.
  • This must mean the board are happy to properly back him and this is his commitment back…..… right?

    Agreed but there is an outside chance that he said that we were likely to struggle and it will be damaging for him so they load up his terms and his compo to keep him - I don’t think that is the case and I think u r right but just as we couldn’t 100% rule out the Cardiff thing, there are always possible scenarios

    Indeed. To be fair owners have not been in slow in the past to give new contracts to managers at the time whilst at the club

    Holden and Bowyer 
  • Bowyers quotes in Cawleys article this morning about the owners speak volumes, exciting times ahead!
