Did anyone else notice on the Football League Show last night that Tony Jimenez was talking to Redknapp? More than likely talking about Parrett and possibly having him or other exciting players in on loan next seaon.
I have noticed before Jimenez talking to managers from other clubs at different games. I know it could be nothing but you never know. Hopefully we have money to spend, sign some quality and keep the good players we actually have in our current squad.
Not only have we got Jeff Vetere in but with Tony Jimenez as well, we now have a huge amount of footballing contacts with a large variety to them. Although the season is not officially over and we have games to play, results obviously not going our way but the future looks bright for us and i'm quietly confident about next season if Mr Slater and the board keeps their word about having money to spend and rumours are true that we will be signing quality this summer.
Just out of curiosity, what players and what positions would you like to see us sign and fill in this closed season?

As Shankley once stated........
"At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks."
Bill Shankly
Now I know that people will say that that was another time, and things have changed !.... At Charlton things have not changed for the better!
The possible conflict of the chairman, 'his associate' or other individuals suggesting to the manager, be it Powell or anyone else is surely a two edged sword!
After all any club 'loaning' a player to Charlton, surely they will expect us to play them!, and will Powell really be in a position to decline 'suggestions!'
Do not get me wrong, great that we have contacts, but we need a manager with vision, a plan, and a board prepared to back him!
After all, if the current board are so keen to 'identify' people, 'why not identify the people behind the club'......
But if jimenez came to Poweel and said i can get you this player "parret" - do you want him? What is wrong with that?
As long as Powell first watches the video of the player on YouTube, like we reckon Pardew did before signing McLeod.
;o)
Give me Bill anyday of the week over Jimenez!.... a true football legend.
I have nothing against anyone 'assisting' the manager, but the manager is there to manage, surely he should be the one that should have the vision and the final say!.
God help us if we have team selection by the board next!.
The board invited Powell, they should have the courage of there convictions.
As I said great to have 'connections' but let us see him connect his signature to a few cheques!..... when Chris asks for it!........ or whoever signs them these day's.......
How do you know they don't?
Everything at the moment is assumptions...
Football is a really really small business, everyone knows everyone. Rednap also has history with Bournemouth, lives locally and had the day off.
Football managers do not stay at home on Saturday's off, they go and watch football.
When the meet collegues they talk and have the normal catch-up conversations that come from knowing everybody in the small area which you are sitting.
Please stop reading things into it.
I will assume that Shanks knew what he was talking about, that will do for me!
Its a good job that the business of football has not changed in the slightest since Shankly was involved...
And all changes are not for the better are they! just look at Charlton
You're also assuming that isnt how its working at Charlton!
