Probably make a  decent coach tbf.  He is very intelligent, incredibly skilful.  Could be a good mentor

Probably doesn't need much money as he's made a bloody fortune over the years.

I'd be surprised to see him back but stranger things have happened

He'd be a great mentor for Miles, on how to make use of his physicality while still having more about him than just being a big lump up front, and understanding the injury issues he's faced.

Anyone still wishing we'd offered him a new deal?

I don't think anyone did at the end of last season. You have a proper weird obsession with the bloke.

Think we all have, in some way. We have at least three threads saying the same thing dedicated to him   

Let the guy have his fun on youtube and if you want to support you can subscribe (also maybe time, for the admins, to close down the duplicate threads).

I hear Maldon & Tiptree are looking for a new centre forward.

Do you think he gives a successful report if the player agrees to invest in property?

Wishing Chuks every success, and if there's any he wants to send our way he'd be more than welcome. A chance to keep the connection alive and create good times again thanks to him. Plus extends our scouting network. Nothing in the rules says we can't share scouts does it?

Extending our scouting network? I suspect his terms of employment might prevent him sending prospects our way while he is being paid by someone else!

Chuks Aneke reportedly scout at Shrewsbury Town after playing exit.

Speaking prior to his departure on Wednesday, former head coach Michael Appleton confirmed Aneke had stepped away from the playing group but said he was keen for him to remain involved in some capacity, citing his experience and exposure to different players and coaching styles.

Shrewsbury have published news about their new management team, surely would of had an official word if Chuks was appointed as apart of their recruitment and opposition analysis setup. 

Nothing 'official' just reports. Kind of odd the report quotes the former not current head coach.

That being said I wouldn't mind him back at Charlton in that sort of capacity.
