Better, but still far too busy and doing weird things on Safari.0

Looks fine to me on Chrome (Windows 7). Much faster too.
I never liked the old FL shared websites, so happy to have our own website design again.3 -
Turns out it works on my laptop, but not phone. Luckily this isn't the modern world though, where 99% of people use the internet via a mobile device....1

I don't like it - although it's infinitely better than the naff ad-ridden template they had before. First impressions, it looks a bit like something a first-year student would mock up as a coursework project.
I know that there's a need for things to be easily navigable/clickable with the rise of tablets etc but some of the articles and the banner at the top are just aggressively and unnecessarily huge IMO. But I know that other people will like that aspect.1 -
New site is absolutely apalling... I could make better and only know how to use Dreamweaver through messing about on it myself. Looks like an A-Level project, even go as far as saying I prefered the old one2

A lot better than the old generic league one, so a real step forward, like all things it will take a while to get used too.
One fairly major gripe though, I cant find a link to the club museum or reference to its existance? I am sure thats just an oversight and nothing more sinister. The museum is run by friendly people who have families and we are in the home pages own words a family friendly club.2 -
Good to see the women team on there
And on the Staff page it mentions messrs Bowyer and Jackson0 -

Interesting that Bowyer is listed as assistant manager and that only Steve Gallan has his coaching qualifications listed but isn't in a coaching role.

I feel like many people had decided to hate this before even opening the new site up for the first time.
For me its a lot more streamlined, the font is a million times better, they don't have to stick to a tired and default template and any changes that need to be made will be faster and simpler6 -
I can only get a white screen up on my pad. Tab down and I get a flash of playersin black on a red background and the Charlton badge, but it disappears in a second.0

I've had a 10 minute look and the site is miles better.
Obviously, there will be updating required and there will likely be some glitches, but overall a thumbs up from me.
It's looking more hopeful that the club really have turned the corner and are heading in the right direction at long last.
The acid test for me is keeping hold of Holmes, if we really are intent on going for promotion.1 - Sponsored links:

I suppose it is loaded because I am not deferential enough.1 -

I knew there was a software I used to use for making websites at school but completely forgot the name. You're right, it looks textbook Dreamweaver. That's where I got the student vibe from.CAFCsayer said:New site is absolutely apalling... I could make better and only know how to use Dreamweaver through messing about on it myself.

Hence the question. The regime has always been able to do some things well, notably when it has bought in professional expertise e.g. the pitch and the cosmetic improvements to The Valley, or the controlled access system.Covered End said:

Where it falls down is when Duchatelet and Meire (and Keohane) have to manage themselves, which we have seen over and over again, even with what is in the public domain.
They are the problem and they are still there. So no matter how good the website may be or indeed how good Karl Robinson is, it is probably unwise to extrapolate that the club has "turned the corner" from things the management haven't spoilt yet, in my view.6 -
Surely part of good management is appointing the right people for the right jobs, giving them the tools for the work and allowing them to succeed, perhaps that is what has happened for those who like the new web site and if the team do well then the same for KR.
But it is that word IF gain.1 -
We have an experienced L1 manager who has recently won promotion from this division. (Despite his potty mouth).
He is supported by Bowyer, Jackson and Gallen.
We have signed Marshall, Clarke and Fosu and Martin has travelled to Ireland.
Holmes & Konsa are still with us and we had further talks with Reeves yesterday. It's looking hopeful that Da Silva will sign for a further season.
If all of the above come off, then yes I would say we have undoubtedly turned a corner.
There is no comparison to Fraeye, Nego, Polish Pete, Anil Koc and the like.
RD & KM will never greatly change their personalities, that is a very difficult thing to achieve (if not impossible),
However, if we are now being run like a proper football club, with some football ambition, then yes we may have turned a corner.
If Holmes & Konsa are sold and not replaced with as good or better, then we likely haven't turned a corner.
I'll hold further judgement until the window closes, as I far from trust the owner, but presently things are looking brighter than for some time.10 -
Whether you are right are wrong about the team, my point is that the website is pretty marginal to the issue of whether the club has "turned the corner" and such a large extrapolation from it (on a thread about it) strikes me as a bit fanciful. They did a good job on the pitch renovations. It didn't stop the following season descending into chaos.0

Yes, the website is a minor issue as to whether "we are turning a corner", but the new site looks better to me and at present it is a continuance of the last 6 weeks or so.Airman Brown said:Whether you are right are wrong about the team, my point is that the website is pretty marginal to the issue of whether the club has "turned the corner" and such a large extrapolation from it (on a thread about it) strikes me as a bit fanciful.

It's a difficult one to judge, I think CE raises some excellent points.
If you draw a line in the sand from the end of the season and look at it from May onwards I have to agree we've had a good 2 months since the season ended with the potential for it to get even better. The problem is we've had a largely awful 28 months or so before this.
That said there's still plenty of time for the sale of Holmes and Konsa to derail the progress made and then spending the rest of the summer trying to replace them and patch up the squad like last pre-season where it was always an outgoing or 2 before a replacement came in.
RD almost appears to be in the background and to some extent so does KM. Even the Driesen signings seem to have dried up, it does beg the question has a corner indeed been turned? Personally I feel a corner is being turned but we won't know until the end of August when we see how the squad looks.
Of course that doesn't mean to say things off the pitch have got any better but I do believe if you get it right on the pitch it makes it easier to get off-pitch matters right.1
