So many bad decisions made by Cafc since Curbs left that the potential great relationship between Thomas and Johnnie could've been spoilt on technicalities.
Johnnie Jackson Charlton Manager 17/12/21 brilliant.
A sweet day for me and a great day for so many of us who wanted JJ to get the job last season.
58 days was I guest that TS had his fingers burnt with Adkins because it was so obvious that JJ was the right man for the job straight away and so pleased that being the defensive coach means jack shit if you don't pick the team or decide the formation and have no say on incoming transfers.
I assume Thomas will bring in players that Johnnie wants now. Shame because of the wait they only have 14 days before the window opens.
Not much to add other than yessssssssss!!!! Fantastic news at last. Definitely the man to take us forward. Let's hope that he is fully supported with no interference from lesser mortals....Ged, you know who you are!
Whatever the details are of the contract and the renewal clauses its clearly one that both parties have been happy to agree to. That's good enough for me
Yep, me too.
Though I do wonder if after having a good start and then the season fading away sharply, whether SCP would have made it to the summer rebuild if under this contract scenario?
I think the contract wrangling has been quite difficult. Certainly more difficult than I would have expected. Glad it’s done. He now has the authority to mould the squad as he wants. He’s the right man for the job. Long may it continue.

As manager………….😜😘😘😂😂
Steve Gallen has probably written his shopping list already.
His fingers have gone. Can't scribble on a notepad
Couldn't agree more. Hasn't Mourinhio made in excess of £20m in failure payments. It's ridiculous.
I also hope Jacko doesn't walk away from us with no compensation for the club once premier league clubs realise how good he is!!!
100% behind JJ’s red army!!!
And a big thank you to Thomas

There's enough stability for JJ to sign it, enough stability (financial and otherwise) for TS to offer. That's all that matters.
A cushty five-year contract is pointless and offers nothing in the real world of football.
