  • Heard a rumour we're not going to appoint anyone today.

    Today? Or yesterday??

    Not happening today according to Ketts. Can't tell if he means at all for who we had lined up or just today.

    In fairness to Ketts he did say Tuesday but said it may get completed today
    I have no doubt that he was right both times, just the club fucking it up as usual.
    Yawn ......change the record
    Oh Colin, never change xxxxx
  • Do you not all realise the more you reply the more he'll continue.

    If he really is here to wind you all up then biting back every time is just playing into his hands.

    Just ignore his posts if you have no interest in them... Simple.

    Was just going to say the same thing. He will only stop when nobody replies to him any more. Shame we don't have a 'ignore/hide' function on here otherwise his posts would be ignored pretty easily by others and he'd disappear within a few months.
  • i hope its jj dont want slade got the job at Brighton a will ago only lasted the months i suppose he will go down well at charlton our mangers only last that long
  • We need a good manager, plenty of young managers have won promotion in their first few seasons. Powell being one of them.

    I don't think it'll be Jackson and I agree if it was it would be a huge gamble, but experience as a manager isn't necessarily needed to win promotion.

    Under this ownership though I don't trust them to build a strong enough squad so it's probably safer to go with a proven manager.

  • Any kind of gentleman's agreement, handshake, promise, or trust me exhortation, or 'I give you my word' stuff is worth jack chite from this regime.
    Any new appointment needs it all in writing, and needs to tell the fans what it is. Otherwise Slade, Jacko, Adkins or Nobby are most certainly the pathetic poodles of this wrecking regime. Jacko is better than this.

    It's looks to me like it will be those 2 and the reason they are now nearly equally ranked, could be a matter of job titles.

    Slade DoF with Jackson head coach or Slade head coach, with Jackson as his assistant.
  • Anybody taking on the role under these lying muppets is either desperate, mad or both.

    I wouldn't describe Slade or Jackson as desperate or mad.

    Slade would likely be happy to move back to London & Jackson would like his first coaching opportunity.

    Odds are no indication of what is happening only what money is being laid.
    Absolutely, but someone knows something as Jackson has come in from nowhereish to evens in the last week.
  • This content has been removed.
  • In regards to Jackson becoming manager , he surely must know the score?
    He would know that whether he stays or Leaves Charlton under this regime , he would still have an extremely good chance of being involved with the club again under any new owner in the future. Surely he would carry on playing and then under a new owner , then consider taking up a coaching role?

    It would be an awful, pandering appointment in my opinion. Zero coaching experience. The man is clearly a leader and has a love for the club, but you need a lot more than that to be a coach.

    I suspect this is the bookies trying to play on Addicks' hearts.

  • I haven't given the Jackson rumours any credence until now. There is clearly something in it and he may be in contention either for the primary role or as an assistant.

    I think he acknowledges his legs are gone and he cannot keep up for the full game so the move into coaching is a natural progression. He is the nearest thing we have had to a legend since Chris Powell.
    The players all appreciate him and respect him and he knows more about the fans and what this club means to us than anybody else at the club.
    I am concerned about his lack of experience and I think working alongside someone like Slade could be the way forward to start his career.

    I'm not going to lie I am a little bit excited
  • I want it to be Iain Dowie - we can ramp the hate up even more then. Brussell Slade comes across far too 'jolly hockey sticks'. I can see it being a bit like Les Reed when he was in charge - I'm sure I heard that players nicked one of his ties and his cap once.

    Anyway who gives a shit, it's the regiemes manager so the shittier the better.

    At the moment, my last pound would go on

    Slade DoF and JJ as player manager Simon Clark assistant
  • I hate the idea of the player/manager, so I hope the Jackson rumours are not true.
  • Jacko is already a Charlton legend and will go down as one of our greats regardless. Maybe any new manager or member of the coaching staff expects to outlast this regime.

    I'd take Jacko with an experienced assistant or if he's working with an experienced manager for a few years before stepping up.

    I wonder what Jason Euell makes of being overlooked.
  • Nobody ITK has mentioned JJ, you'd think Ketts or at least Cawley would find out. Am starting to think that McDermott's sacking yesterday could well be what delayed it. Be a really good appointment if we got him.
