Lambert, Scheiderlin and Jose Fonte all cost around £1mcarly burn said:
You're making it sound like they were household names before he signed them.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Seen quite a few posters referring to how well he did at Southampton, taking them from league one to the premier league in consecutive seasons. I've no doubt that's caught Sandgaard's eye too but the achievement looks slightly less impressive when you consider their team had:
Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Morgan Schneiderlin, Lee Barnard, Jason Puncheon, Jose Fonte.
Karel Fraeye would've probably got that team promoted.
They really weren't. Lallana and oxlade Chamberlain came through the youth system. I think they signed Lambert shortly after they were relegated. Schnedelin was signed from pretty much obscurity, playing a handful of times for a Strasbourg B side.
If anything,the players you mention enhance his reputation. Not afraid to bring youth through and help them excel. Good eye for a player home or abroad. He moulded a lot of these players.
Lambert was bought by Pardew the previous season, when he was the hottest property in the lower leagues
Fonte was also bought by Pardew. He would go on to win Euro 2016 with Portugal
Schneiderlin was bought when Southampton were still in the Championship. He had played at all youth levels for France when Southampton bought in
Lallana was a regular in the Championship before they were relegated and had played around 100 games before Adkins took over
Yes Adkins managed and developed that squad well, but for L1 he had some ridiculously good players, far better than what we have now, or indeed the ones Powell had in 2011/12. None of Powell's players would go on to play at such a high level.0 -

Charlton Twitter is ground zero for pencil necked keyboard warriors. They actually have decided they hate bowyer now and wishing all sorts on him, what a weird bunch.1

Can we all agree that it's twitter in general that attracts individuals like who are like this. It is certainly not a Charlton only phenomenon.BR7_addick said:Charlton Twitter is ground zero for pencil necked keyboard warriors.

Social media is great but also horrific, it is a breeding ground for animosity and angst. People on places like Twitter seem to always go one further than the previous comment, shame they don't always think before posting.BR7_addick said:Charlton Twitter is ground zero for pencil necked keyboard warriors.

That was something I’d been pretty certain on over the last month12

Adkins all day long then2

that’s just what sensible people do with important positions in their businesses11

Sorry, but we can’t have a Nigel as our manager.1

You’re Charlton’s First Lady, if you tell him he can’t go, he couldn’t say no 😳Fanny Fanackapan said:
Please can I be your "wing man" ? :-:smile:KBslittlesis said:Just seen JJ on Quest after our game last night.
I was honestly happy for TS to decide who he wanted for our manager.
But feck me, I will fight Bows if he takes JJ, I mean it 😩😩😩😩😩0 -
Pretty certain Bowyer would have been aware of this and came to the conclusion he just wasn't part of Sandgaards plans.3

That is a reference to Nigel Adkins's attacking the day tweet yesterday.Gravesend_Addick said:
That response came from this tweetScoham said:

I remember an interview with Les Reid when he was the football director at Southampton and he said in his he had paperwork for 5 replacements for managers and each position within the squad and it would change monthly. I am sure lots of clubs do this but seems we are following suit.5 -
Strange why Pompey only want a short term dealForeverAddickted said:Danny Cowley initially until the end of the season with Portsmouth...
Unless thats why we didnt want him (as its a Cowley clause) I cant see how he'd have been first choice as he surely cant be choosing short term at Portsmouth over long term here
On Quest last night they showed their fixture list, and on paper it's much easier than ours with Ipswich the only Top 10 team they have to play. Potentially a great opportunity to get a playoff place, but also a high level of expectation

Succession planning is key to any business. Whether it be LB leaving of his own accord or something happening (results or bust up) making his position untenable then there should always be back ups.2

Feels so good to have an owner who actually gives a shit, doesn't it?20

I've not watched it yet but I doubt it was Ward-Prowse unless he's much older than I thought.soapboxsam said:Thanks for Sharing Ozaddick.
Enjoyed seeing and hearing his character shine through.
Amazing how being born the other side of the Mersey makes a difference in his accent. Robinson has the grating Scouse where Nads have a mellow Birkenhead sound.
Some serious talent in that Southampton team with 5 of them going on to be England internationals. Lambert, Shaw, Chamberlain, Lallana and Ward-Prowse in the various clips shown.
Ward-Prowse and Shaw were shown when it moved on five years from the team in League 1.
I remember the 17 year old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain getting injured down the Jimmy Seed end and being out injured for a couple of months before returning to score a couple of cracking goals for the saints.0 -
Have to say this isn’t exactly at the top of my priority list...Bedsaddick said:At least with a new manager we might take the FA Cup more seriously. I hated Bowyers disrespect of the competition.1 -
Should be doing it regardless of form - anything can happen, managers could leave after a good run of form for a better job.eaststandmike said:

I think that last tweet from RC puts JJ back in the frame. "an easy decision in no time"0

Or it means he already had who ever it is on his list, picked up the phone and he said yes.eaststandmike said:I think that last tweet from RC puts JJ back in the frame. "an easy decision in no time"1 -
TS always says the right thing and with the right tone.
I really wish we get a Manager who can talk proper and bring some enjoyment back to games.1 -
Like others I’ve become a convert and see Adkins as an improvement on Bowyer. He seems a positive guy and hopefully with the right backing can bring some good players in. He focusses a lot on fitness which is key to getting out of this league.0
