Listened to the TS POTY interview. It’s about 1 hour 31 minutes in.
https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/94027/charlton-live-poty-podcast-released-packed-with-exclusive-interviews-inc-jackson-and-sandgaard
Some of the key points (not word for word):
He talked about our slow recruitment last summer being one of the main issues.
Claims our recruitment system is much improved.
Mentioned late signings resulting in more injuries due to a lack of preseason.
He’s expecting a much better transfer window.We started on it about two months ago. Mentioned difficulty in convincing agents that players should sign now and not wait until deadline day.
Sounds like in the past we made some signings through agents suggesting players.
Talked about loads of small improvements that’ll eventually be seen on the pitch, including having better facilities through the work on the academy. Individual coaching. Better recruitment. Wants our training to be at least 10% more intense, like it is for Championship clubs.
Says he’s £16m in with £8m this season. Said we have around the third highest playing budget in the league and expects it to be in the same ballpark next season.
Martin’s improvements to the recruiting system have blown him away. It’s now a lot easier to work with. Before that it was theoretical, and before that pretty much nothing other than Gallen’s negotiating skills.
Doesn't want individual coaches just moving cones about, wants them adding value. Set pieces and “things like that” to be worked on.
Said he’s pretty confident about where we’ll end up. Hopes long term fans appreciate him speaking his mind rather than being politically correct.
Euell (or might have been Pearce?) gave a presentation a few months ago on coaching techniques he wants to implement, TS clearly impressed.
Called JJ a legend.22 -

That para stuck out for me. Where to start!
I don't suppose he elaborated?2 -
Wants them to break even and be self sufficient. Hence why they sold a key player (Wills or a striker don't remember) to a promotion rival the year they went up and hence why they were quickly relegated.Maccn05 said:

Surely we learnt from RD that a wealthy owner does not always buy success.
I would be very surprised if CBT went to Barnsley as if he was to go then he himself would likely want to try Championship.0 -

Well it’s somewhat encouraging that some key areas which have had issues have not only been identified, such as slow recruitment, but the actual reasons and for why and how they want to address it as well.
I do find that issues around training intensity to be slightly worrying though. Perhaps a 10% intensity increase (not sure how this is all judged), could lead to us maintaining the level we did when JJ was caretaker manager this year - however there’s no point in having players being able to run around loads (cough cough Gilbey cough cough) but no effort put into the technical side like where to move to, when to press, how to move the ball quickly etc.. which is all things we sorely lack.0 -
Well, reading that has just got me excited for the 30th of July.Scoham said:Listened to the TS POTY interview. It’s about 1 hour 31 minutes in.

Blah blah blah, until we actually see any of this in action, it's just meaningless words and soundbites.

Of course, I make mistakes myself quite often (as many of us do) and would genuinely welcome them being pointed out to me so that I can improve my own spelling and grammar.
It’s something which has improved immeasurably since I started posting on Charlton forums……though I’m still not up in the Grapevine league by a long shot.2 -
Thing that jumps out at me there is that he wants our training sessions to be 10% more intense like it is in the Championship. Wtf !!!!!! You don’t need to be a rich club to have training methods as good as is required. If our training is only 90% as “intense” as the championship then let’s ask why ? That’s down purely to coaches not getting the players as fit as they could be. Are Millwall 10% fitter and train more intensely that we do ? Struggling to get my head around this one. Every time the club make a statement it poses as many questions as answers.Scoham said:Listened to the TS POTY interview. It’s about 1 hour 31 minutes in.

From the scraps of information we glean, and from my limited insight, it looks as if Thomas is a fan of the Brailsford method of improvement.0

What I’d take from it is with the setup more established we’ll be looking across a wider pool of players. Hopefully we’ll benefit from that but if we put too much focus on stats or use them badly it could go horribly wrong.0 -
As someone who suffers badly with dyslexia, this is something I have had to contend with my whole life and as soundas£ quite rightly says most people actually think they are being helpful and not as it actually comes across anal. It doesn’t offended me particularly but I do feel sometimes this kind of behaviour is a lot more common online than in face to face situations, as I often make verbal mistakes getting words mixed up or pronouncing them wrong but people seem a lot more forgiving and less judgemental face to face. I had honestly hoped that the age of the grammar police was slowly fading away but sadly not.SoundAsa£ said:

The initial part of getting supporters behind the pre season strategy is being unemotive and making some tough calls based on footballing ability rather than friendships or connections to the club.
Pearce not being offered a new deal is a good start. I agree with all that has been said about his effort and commitment but he is not the player to have in a promotion chasing squad.I think Purrington will stay, potentially as a back up left sided centre back.0 -
It’s strange, because I am genuinely trying to be helpful in some curious way, whilst at the same time wanting to see things put right so it squares away, far more my problem than the person actually making the mistake.CH4RLTON said:

Would Ben Thompson be a good, cheap, local back up for Dobson?
Gills fans reckon they will get £350K or so for Tucker from a tribunal which is the amount we have spent a number of times since TS joined. Would he be the perfect Pearce replacement?1 -

Because of reasons that don't need going over here the pool of possible players we can sign is really small.
If we say want a left back there aren't 100s of possible options are there? You don't need an algorithm to get it down to half dozen do you. Seems there is a bit too much faith put in it. The world has changed since Brentford did it.

Should offer something to Gillingham quickly, avoid the tribunal, means they won't be worried about him going to Scotland for sod all like Aribo, and if we're the early obvious choice having agreed it, we might steal a march on others, as I agree I think he'll have a lot of interest.SoundAsa£ said:

We’re just catching up with other clubs aren’t we? So we need something in place, though as you say things have changed - using data isn’t as big of an advantage, it’s now more about how you use it.Cafc43v3r said:
