That may be but a least one has said they were approached by Katrien Meire before Slade was in the frame and declined until he could speak to the manager.Swisdom said:My understanding is the signings we have made were all Slade's choices.

Charlton’s move for Novak came before Slade was appointed earlier this month.
“I spoke to Katrien [Meire, chief executive] a bit but the club didn’t have a manager, so things can change,” he said.
“Then when I came down last Monday I met the gaffer. He showed me around the ground and the training ground. Once he told me what he had planned I was pretty much decided straightaway I wanted to go there.

Miere made first contact and got him interested enough, and Novak decided he would wait until the gaffer was in place and speak to him, to see what his plans were. To be honest, that doesn't exactly read like she's done anything wrong, but meeting Slade sealed the deal for himAirman Brown said:

Having seen Holmes bust a gut in both pre-season friendlies in Austria, I think we have got a good'un. He was the stand out player (for us) in both games. Good ball retention, excellent crossing ability and also put himself about a bit. Got clogged by the Russians and the Israelies, but stood up and got on with it. I also like the look of Novak, gave 100% Speaking to Harry Lennon before the game against Macabi, he said the squad were much happier, under Slade. Said he was 3-4 weeks away. Also spoke to Patrick Bauer and he said he was back in training with the first team on Monday. I met up with Vienna Addick and son at the second game. There were also two Italian guys, who were Charlton fans, wearing the shirts, supporting the team. A couple of Austrian guys also had Charlton tops on who cheered loudly when our goal went in. Great 7 days away, I would recommend these tours to any fans. Had a fantastic few days in Vienna too, thoroughly delightful city.

Now the teams back from Austria, the head of recruitment should now be signing his contract. This should see more players coming in.2

Are you serious! He hasn't signed a contract!?!? He was announced ages ago wasn't he?Redhenry said:Now the teams back from Austria, the head of recruitment should now be signing his contract. This should see more players coming in.

He may have done recently, loose ends needed tying up0

So first game a little over 2 weeks away.
Bauer back in full training on Monday apparently and has been doing tonnes of fitness work. I am hoping this means he will be ready for Bury and Tex wont go anywhere in 2 weeks... Team so far (best case scenario):
New GK
Solly
Fox
Texeira
Bauer
Holmes
New CM
New CM
Harriott
Novak
Ajose (needs to get fit).
Subs:
Mitov
Buxton
Holmes-Dennis
Jackson
Ceballos
New Winger to compete with Holmes and Harriott
New Striker to replace Watt
So for me the keeper is a no brainer and will happen (don't think Hendo will go till new one is in), CMs are vital (probaby only get one and Jackson will start).
Need 3 to even look half presentable and ideally 5. Then attention goes to pad the squad out.
The defence above is promotion standard for league 1, on paper the strikeforce has the goals in it to be classed that way too. Midfield is crap.2 -

During my conversion with Patrick Bauer, I asked him if he was staying at Charlton and he teasingly said, well, I'm still under contract! I didn't want to press him further as it it wasn't really appropriate, but my gut feeling was that he was staying, but heh, what does my gut know!3

I think we're 6/7 off being competitive enough to go up.
1/2 GK (Only expect to bring in 1)
1 RB
2 CB's (Buxton coming in covers both RB and one CB position. If well sell Tex then he also needs replacing)
1 CM minimum. Ideally 2
1 winger
1 striker minimum. 2 if Lookman goes.

If we keep what we've got, with a few additions we have the makings of a good team at this level.
We also have the makings of a shit squad, as soon as injuries, bookings appear we're down to the under 15s again1 -

If ever there was an example of a corporate head office culture this is it.
To seriously have announced an appointment 5/ 6 weeks ago and still not have the contract done and dusted is appalling.
The same could be said about bringing in Kevin Nugent some 10 days into pre-season. Why did his appointment take so long after Slade was brought in?

Nugent might have had to work his notice but not having the head of recruitment on a contract smacks of one side or the other being unsure on the merits of the deal.Grapevine49 said:If ever there was an example of a corporate head office culture this is it.

Not really my point, which is that this signing was lined up before Slade and therefore it's not as clear cut as Slade choosing all the players. He may of course have had the chance to veto.sam3110 said:

Not sure I see the connection between the two. Why would the signing of players have been compromised by the lack of signature on the head of recruitment's contract?Redhenry said:Now the teams back from Austria, the head of recruitment should now be signing his contract.

Maybe the German Addicks have had a word with him .

Exactly. Given that there is plainly no money available , Novak was a signing that most would sanction, given his goal record last season for Chesterfield.Airman Brown said:

Yes, of course injuries will be a factor, but that team needs two decent midfielders. We do need another 5 or 6 or we will struggle when the injuries start to come! if we do sell Lookman, now has to be a condition that he stays on loan for next season!0
