would like to see this myself only thing i wouldnt want to happen is new owners come in and have a complete clear out of coaching staff, i do think under a proper backing robinson wouldnt be that bad if he learnt to shut up from time to time, but under roland that will never happen. will gradually just get worse and within 5 years we will be in the same position as leyton orient.
Firstly I want to make it clear that I agree 100% with the decision to add Jacko to the staff.
I will say though it's very odd that only a few weeks ago Karl was complaining about having too many coaches. KM said this was a legacy problem with coaches left from pervious managers.
The coaches who were here before him Nugent, Clarke and O'laughable. He agreed to O'laughable as part of his staff and according to KM it was his choice to extend his contract to the end of the season. Since KR came in Kevin Nugent has left. So the only 'legacy' coach is Simon Clarke who is very well thought of at the club.
KR has also brought in Barker, Bowyer and Jacko.
Hmm. Too many inconsistencies in the narrative there.
Inspirational skipper Johnnie Jackson is set for a new role as human shield at Charlton Athletic - with a decision on his future expected to be announced this week.
Jackson has proved to be an excellent human shield in the past and has frequently appeared alongside CEO Katrien Miere in a desperate attempt to deflect criticism away from her.
It could mean retirement for the defender - or at least less of an active playing role - but boss Karl Robinson insists the 34-year-old fans' favourite still has the ability to sit next Katrien Miere drinking tea whenever she is likely to be criticised.
"I want good people at this place. I want people who can teach me about Charlton. I've got Lee Bowyer who can teach me about smashing up MacDonald’s restaurants. And I've got Jacko who has been through the recent one year of success and the several years of disappointment too.”
“We are not stupid and have realised that if you put someone that is liked next to someone that is loathed, by association the loathed person may get a little bit less grief. We call it sprinkling sugar on a turd”
"So it's important to have him around at the club."

Rumour has it Barker and Clarke are on their way and O'Deary Me is only here till the summer, so It will be a reduced coaching staff.
I've got a horrible feeling it's the end for both Jacko and Solly as players at Charlton, sincerely hope i'm wrong........
Robinson made a point about it being important for Jackson and Solly to play the last game of the season, I feel like you might just be onto something with Solly
Jackson must be thrilled at the prospect of learning under the watchful eye, of one of the top 25 Irish Coaches the Congolese Western Area Division has ever seen.

Solly will be here next season with Barnes as back up.
I suggest this would be a mistake. Barnes is, correct me if I'm wrong, 20 and hasn't played a minute of first team football. Unless he is a Gomez, which I assume he isn't, I don't think we can afford to have inexperienced backup for solly
how many injuries will solly bounce back from recently become a father, hes probably earned an okayish wage for the past few years so if he has been sensible may have stashed some away, certainly doesn't seem like the flash type, he may of made the decision to go elsewhere, maybe even drop down a bit, personally id like him to stay on as long as he feels hes okay to play.

When you take into consideration Solly's knee problems the only scenario where I could see him moving on is one where he runs down his contract and moves to another club on a free transfer, possibly on a low basic wage and bonus payments for appearances.
Good player that he is, the knee problems must be a major concern for any potential new club to consider if a fee was involved.
I just hope he stays until RD and the circus move on so he can help with our push back up the leagues.
They've been trying to ship Solly off for a while now. He's one of our biggest earners and that Gillingham story didn't come from nowhere. Yet again, all about making a quick buck for Roland. They don't care about the football.
I hope I'm wrong and it wouldn't be the first time KR said something that can be taken a number of ways. It's probably fair to say that even if Solly stays he will miss games and therefore cover as a minimum in that area is needed. But I fear he doesn't fit what KR wants from that position.

he has since signed a new contract, I assumed at the time at a reduced wage for longer period reflecting league 1 and his injuries.

My bet is on player/coach

I can see him being sold for minimum money....
