Needs to be supported in the transfer market now. Next season is huge for this club.
Agree but I'd like to see some real intent in January, momentum is everything and with some good additions and players returning from injury playoffs is a real possibility.
Id be happy if the current team (Jackson - Euell - Hayes) was left alone - Just I don't think that Anthony wants to step up to the First Team just yet.
Imagine the “performance related” clause will be regarding promotion… if we’re not out of this league by the end of those two years, there’ll be an option to break the contract at that point?
I think now could be time to get involved with a bit a dabble on us , some might say the boat has been missed but 20/1 for promotion now we know Jacko will have a real tilt at it ,big ask yes but I still think there’s a bit of value in it
Absolutely chuffed to f***ing bits that TS has eventually done the right thing for the club and appointed the only man who should lead us at this time. Future Charlton managerial legend of that I’m certain.
So, the initial contract is just until the end of this season, when the first performance related extension can happen, with a further performance related one year extension after that. Only 6 months guaranteed and a total of two and a half years under these terms. The original announcement was poorly worded on this point.

Must admit I thought that was what it meant … got a bit confused when it was suggested it meant longer.

Without seeing the detail of the contract, I can't imagine it's as simple as just a contract until the end of the season. They'll be terms and caveats all over the place that a) Doesn't allow Jacko walk away for nothing at the end of the season if 'targets' aren't met and b) Doesn't allow the club take the piss with his remuneration/power/budget if they are met.
In my mind, JJ is here for the next two and half years if we finish in the top 10 this year, get in the playoffs next and then get promoted the year after.
If he's supported (financially and structurally) and we don't achieve that then I think we'd all agree that we may need to try somebody new.
Just got home from work to find out this news. I've just told the wife not to worry with any christmas presents for me, as TS has just trumped anything she'll get me...............
Absolutely delighted Jacko is confirmed but the contract is an insult to him and provides no stability for the club to build on.
100% behind JJ’s red army!!!
Weird you say that because I reckon it's just the type of contract @jimmymelrose has been saying managers should get. Not tied down to 3 or 4 years, but a rolling season by season one which is governed by results.

Pretty good all round I'd say
Exactly. The sort of contract that doesnt reward failure with a stonking great pay off. How much money has Pardew made from being a shit manager
Hoping it's now another long and fruitful journey were embarking on with a Charlton manager ...Seed, Lennie, Curbs.....Jacko? Brilliant video produced by Charlton TV announcing Jacko - "Captain Leader Legend Manager" one better than John Terry! Hats off to whoever edited it ,superb footage, great track of music & graphics building to an emotional crescendo, a promo which wouldn't look out of place on Match of the Day or SKY !
I really want Jacko to get the job, but TS is hesitant I think because they get contracts all wrong in football these days. They should give Jacko a contract until June. On it can be written that if we go up he gets a two year extension. If we finish top 8 for example, it's a one year extension. In short, start with 6-12 month contracts and agree at that point how League performance leads to extension or termination.
Not to put a downer on this, but most managers are lucky to see 2 years at a club, so Jacko has hammered in the first nail of his Charlton coffin................

Looks like TS is reading jimmymelrose 😁
Bang on the money mate. In most businesses people are paid on results. If you are not cutting it then your gone. Apart from football that is, managers get sacked and walk with a chunk of cash, players dont perform so sit on the bench getting paid regardless. There should be more contracts like this imo

Very pleased with this appointment.
Total guesswork but that makes sense to me.

Contract seems sound looking in from afar.
Pretty good all round I'd say
