    cart before the horse .. why employ a 'scout/recruiter' when the club hasn't a manager to decide who and what type of player he's keen to recruit ?

    this all day long

    Surprised his first name isn't Richard with the types of people this regime hire.

    Many other clubs have a Head of Recruitment

    For example, Steve Walsh at Leicester was responsible for finding Vardy, Mahrez and Kante, yet most people until recently had never heard of him, and no he's not their former player Steve Walsh, but another one!

    Is it just player recruitment he's going to be head of, or is he going to have to find us a new Ticket Office Manager as well?

    Worked with Adkins and Lambert before

    Probably why Adkins has suddenly gone from 4/1 to 100/1:-)
    Ahh he must have had an interview then

    Club CEO Katrien Meire said: “We are thrilled that someone of Steve’s calibre has agreed to join Charlton. He has a fantastic CV and knows the British game very well. We are working on pulling together a squad that can withstand the challenges of a long season in League One and Steve will play a very important role in that.”

    You don't have a manager and you personally have as much to contribute to "pulling together a squad" as you do to driving the Eurostar, you ridiculous woman.

    She's just rubbing it in now.

    There, I've made her quote more honest.

    Notice it doesn't say a squad that will challenge for promotion

    It's a start I suppose, well connected head could encourage some players.

    Cheers Katrien - because will all believe everything you say don't we?

    I remember what happened when you put together a squad to withstand the challenges in the championship. That went well.

    Absolutely. The arrogance even seeps through in that statement. And the fact Head won't have total control of his job.
    'Steve will play an important role'. I would have thought he will be doing it, not playing a part.

    So in a matter of weeks Katrien Meire has gone from promising promotion back to The Championship to a squad that 'can withstand the challenges of a long season.'

    I don’t know about anyone else but I'm excited. Where's that season ticket renewal form?

    Katrien Meire, being able to withstand a season is basically a footballer's job. I know you struggle to fulfill your basic duties, but give them some credit.

    Isn't it amazing how much three sentences can be dissected and pulled apart... You do all know that she didn't actually say those words, they were just written by the club's media people who were presumably intending to make them as anodyne as possible?!

    So depressing. Not one ounce of ambition in that quote. Next season is nothing but nine months of dreary slog. Cheers Katrien.

    Well he better get used to multi tasking for no reward. He better read his contract carefully.

    Other then that, it sounds better then what we have at least.

    Any news on a potential manager?

    Sounds like it's going to be a no mark puppet again if they've appointed this fella first?

    Or maybe I'm being harsh and jumping the gun, you'd think any new manager would want to pick their own players, rather than the structure we've had / still implementing.

    I can't see how we're moving forwards?

    There is the potential to get one

    There's a difference between standing the rigors of a Championship season, which is arguably our natural level, and settling for the same in League One. Unless that is you think Burton Albion should be a league above us.
