We need a manager who will verbally and physically abuse our players! Someone who will yell at them if we lose and yell at them if we win! Someone who loves a long throw!
I'm not saying who I think will get the job but these are the names I'd be happy with....
Chris Wilder or Tony Pulis....people who won't take any shit from poor players. Experienced, plain speakers who can get the best out of what they have and can build teams.
Our biggest problem is being 3rd Division and seemingly being short of cash. Being bottom of the league isn't so much of a problem, as it makes it easier for someone to come in and make a visible impact.
Why is it that at times like these, so many people shit the bed and call for a tactical dinosaur just because he's seen as hard, or something
Hope you’re only referring to Pulis. No one who successfully implemented overlapping centre backs in League 1 can be a tactical dinosaur.

Of course. I and any other sane fan would take Wilder in a blink
I struggle to work out what the next tactical innovation will be - overlapping goalkeepers perhaps?
I think there's a place for having three central defenders, one of which at any one time is free to join the midfield and attack.
Many teams struggle to follow runs from deep by players who don't have the ball. So, the overload can be created in dangerous areas (eg Zone 14 ).
The identity of the extra man changes through the game, making it a bit more difficult for the opposition to deal with.
I tried this idea with success at County League level some years ago, and I think it could still be effective higher up the pyramid. It would definitely cause problems for our current squad!
Of course, like any tactical system, you need the right players to implement it (Krystian Bielik, for example), but the idea of supplementing your attacking numbers from the back is attractive ... especially when so many teams are playing with only one or two forwards.

It’s changed it’s name a few times over the years, it’s now called dartford sports bar.

It’s just after 14:30 - I should imagine he is on his 5th pint of wine by now.
We've got to make ourselves hard to beat and start getting clean sheets, as our defensive record is hopeless.
And that starts with coaching. Drilling good habits into the players, organising them to be hard to beat, getting them fitter and hungrier. And yes, that can be done with the existing squad, we're playing Cambridge and Burton, not Liverpool and Man City.
Get that sorted, then we can worry about champagne football
100% if the Portugal Guys had managed to get their ownership over the line he was most probably going to be the head coach. Their project was very interesting but quite disruptive. Also the new rules on Brexit may well have caused a few headaches for them.

Our success over the last 30 years has always been with a manager with experience of the club, Curbishley, Powell & Bowyer.
So for me you give it to JJ. The only ? is is he tarnished with the squad under Adkins, but I doubt it.
He was a highly intelligent player and a great leader, give him the season, back him in January (by that I don't mean loads to spend, but if he wants to shift people on let him and he'll wheel and deal).
IMHO he should have been given a shot when Bowyer went, now is his time.
This, this and this again
genuinely think he’d surprise a few and change things up
is there really a preception of us being short cash? Or is it people who have just got a bug bear over not blowing loads of cash in the window?
But thats not true... We spent over £1m on Kirk | Stockley | Lavelle | Clare
You've got the wages and signing on fees for Souare | Henderson | Blackett-Taylor | Dobson | MacGillivray (not to mention those who renewed) - It makes our position worse as apart from Ipswich | Wigan, we're probably in the top six for spending this summer.

yeah, agreed, just some on here are insistent that 1) Sandgaard is penniless 2) we didn't spend at all and 3) that we're at the whim of a stock price which is 4x its value it was 2 years ago.

I’m honestly astounded how quickly rumour/conspiracy becomes gospel in this fanbase.
Sandgaard has poured millions into the club since he joined, including way over £1m in transfer fees alone.
Charlton TV was a big investment, state of the art medical equipment has been purchased. The groundsman has been supported with expensive machinery, the pitches have been relayed, the training ground has improved, more staff have been hired to support the infrastructure.
There are plenty of things you can question Sandgaard on, being tight isn’t one of them.

Arry rex-napp ain't doing EastEnders anymore and sandra can also probably get a bit annoying after a while.
At least we would actually sign players on Januarys deadline day.
And that starts with coaching. Drilling good habits into the players, organising them to be hard to beat, getting them fitter and hungrier. And yes, that can be done with the existing squad, we're playing Cambridge and Burton, not Liverpool and Man City.

Can Jacko do that? I'm not so sure.
You absolute tease.
Getting my hopes up
Hope it's true and it does happen!

If a caretaker's safe pair of hands can keep us in League 1 in the interim then fine.
Why can't we advertise for the job and see if we can get a person in their 30's with a pro license to apply.
After 14 days of an intensive search, we are down to 2 names ?
Green or Wagstaff ! Sorry I meant:
Johnny Jackson or John Terry.
I will pick J......
