I still think that Fraeye is here until the end of the season. Relegation and he might be gone. If by some miracle we stay up then we're stuck with him. If he goes my bet is on a Frenchman. We've not had one of those yet.
Well we should expect Jason Euell to want to try his hand at first team management. When the chance occurs I would wish the best of luck, except against Chsrlton.
Have always been surprised Euell hasn't been promoted to first team coach. Admittedly he may want to manage, so the next step up from U23's is a senior managerial appointment. I know he's highly thought of by the club, but then I haven't heard many people saying they would give him the job if Bowyer was to leave.
Yesterday I heard Emma Hayes was going to be the first woman employed as a League manager, this morning it was Danny Cowley and now Chris Powell is a frontrunner, so tomorrow could be his day!
He is one of those who you’d say was a Mr Charlton and a bit like Keith Peacock seems to have been with Charlton for donkeys years. Wouldn’t begrudge him a move into first team coach/ manager in the slightest
Apart from regret that we would lose Jason if this happens it would be with my absolute best wishes. Lots of things around this seem to be perfect, and who knows maybe our U21's would benefit from a fresher approach, not be better especially, but it would freshen things up if it were to be the right appointment. I would hope Wimbledon would give him the backing any new first time manager should get. Jason Euell has been one of the coolest and most steadfast characters around Charlton for years now, and if he needed a reference it would, or ought to be, one of the best ever written. I am learning more about why the word 'bittersweet' was fashioned.
It's no secret how good our youth players have been in the past 10 years or so, and it's no surprise to me that Euell has been involved in the youth setup for a not insignificant chunk of that time. He's been asked to work with England youth too and the next logical step for him, if it's not international youth team manager, is senior management of a lower league team. I am in the "hope it's with us" camp, but understand that chance may not come along soon and Wimbledon is a name that he has a lot of history with.
Was trying to get hold of a mate for almost ten mins to tell him about Euell at 8/1. Finally got hold of him. Managed to get max stake before he drifted to 5/2. Have to claim that free pint when I see him in 2022.
The more I read this article the more I think it is close to a done deal. Imagine Cawley would have asked both Euell and Charlton if they were happy to run the story. Got to be some legs in this story, otherwise why write it in the first place.
Don't be surprised if Chris Perry becomes involved in some capacity Think he and JE are mates +their history with the Dons
Their history is with MK Dons......not AFC Wimbledon. Admittedly Euell played a handful of games for AFC, but that was his last gig I believe. Both played (together ?)for Wimbledon before the club moved to MK and before AFC were formed.

Would be sorry to lose him, but he'll always be a hero to me
