I think you may be mistaken. I never met that Paul Elliott - I met the former central defender version (Richard Rufus’ mate)JohnnyH2 said:
The same voice who told us we should see how Paul Elliott gets on with running the club and later described him as a good egg?cfgs said:
Everyone keep calm and listen to the voice of swisdom.Swisdom said:We may still be interviewing to give us alternatives / plan B in case plan A doesn’t accept or we just want to be thorough. There were a LOT of applicants
a new manager isn’t going to have made much impact with the previous season still ongoing so we’ve really not missed out on much I wouldn’t think. The players are all away, the recruitment team are beavering away on an assortment of targets and things will get into action in a couple of weeks - presumably with a new manager in place by then.
until then I’m not alarmed. If we are being thorough I am not alarmed. If we have plenty of interest I am not alarmed
if lots of people are rejecting us, I’m alarmed but don’t believe this to be the case.
all I’m likely to have said is to give the guy a chance. As with everything now people make a snap decision / I’d always prefer to judge for myself rather than what I’m told I should feel about someone.
I also said to the Roland haters to “be careful what they wished for” and along came Southall - whom I also never met
the truth is there is a process ongoing, we haven’t missed out on anything and we need to wait and see how it ends. On one hand people are pressuring the club to “get it right” and then in the next breath to “fucking get on with it”….I know which I would rather do
are you bored or something5 -
Not sure that is necessarily the case, Muttley. If it is a case of salary and terms to be negotiated and you are offered much less than you think you are worth, or what you hear in the interview doesn't appeal, then you may well reject.MuttleyCAFC said:The other thing about interviews is they are generally instigated by an application. It is unusual for somebody to apply then reject.0 -
Tell me about it. A few years ago applied for a job and was told "we were really excited about your interview and it is just bad luck that someone else pipped you to it - we would have definitely loved to have you here". It obvs didn't work out as saw the job advertised again 6 months later. I emailed them and said I would like to reapply but they declined...never been so humiliated in my life.seth plum said:Never ask for feedback when you fail to land a job after any kind of interview or interview process.9 -
Mate, it’s not unusual. Take it from me, I’m a headhunter. So every time it happened I was further away from earning a fee. Now it happens more often where the human element is crucial to performance. A pro football club is definitely one of that type.MuttleyCAFC said:

Just handed in my dissertation. ‘An analysis of how speculation and conjecture become facts worth fighting over within the Charlton Life paradigm.’seth plum said:I want to send best wishes to all candidates facing exams during this period of time, be they GCSE’s, A-levels, University finals and whatever. Also very best wishes to friends and families and especially teachers doing what they can to be supportive.
It is a drag this phenomena takes place during hay fever season, and the format of examinations is questionable anyway, but most of all the amount of missed school and disruption that people have faced due to Covid makes these current exams pretty tough.12 -
Now that is impressive, presumably under the supervision of the University of Bologna?SouthallAddick said:

grumpyaddick said:Have we considered appointing a black box as manager?
Would be cheap, consistent, anonymous and TS knows how to control it.
Ticks all the boxes.
My problem is Mr Black Box knows all the stats but doesn't seem to realise who's partner has left, and the *player won't be able to see his daughter, he may be a loner, who doesn't mix well despite his stats saying he is at the top level with assists and goals for a midfielder in the division Cafc find their in; horse racing vernacular, a course and distance winner.
Mr Black Box has no heart and no understanding of the human condition and the mood swings and the different personalities and how they treat the two imposters: triumph and disaster. Not sure if that data is even allowed to be entered ?
" This is a fictional player just used for an example and any familiarity with any player is a coincidence.4 -
Well Melbourne Victory lost for the first time after a club record run of 13 matches undefeated Beaten by new boys Western United managed by John Alloisi .So a prudent TS could pick up a manager of the future in Tony Popovich.now Melbourne Victory has come to an unexpected end. Mebe even alloisi The final next W E will be between Melbourne City (of the City group) and Western united who have reached the final in their 3rd year in the A League with a tenth of the budget that City have got. Two or three youth players in this final that our scouts could watch0

Maybe it is just me thinking that side of the club is useless. Maybe it is well run and not obvious.PragueAddick said:

Blackburn and QPR spring to mind - Burnley too if the bloke who replaced Dyche was only installed as a caretaker managerMendonca In Asdas said:I wonder how many football league clubs are without a manager like us at the moment?0 -

Just read on a Rangers forum, someone says he has been told that if Beale is offered our job, Villa are expecting him to take it, won’t name his source33

I'd be surprised if we don't have a manager in place by the end of this week. If it doesn't happen this week, I'd start to feel slightly concerned9

Answering the original question:- I reckon if Jacko was gonna be sacked for not making 8th place, he was sacked weeks too late and the absence of succession planning is lunacy. Whoever we end up with, it will be unjustifiably later than it should have been, and if the next incumbent accepts Thomas and Martin holding sway on personnel then said incumbent will not be the right man for the job and we'll see a minimum of two others by this time next year.0

What's a Rangers forum got to do with anything?!1

That was in The Telegraph or similar. This came from a Rangers forum. A forum has got to be more accurate, right? Right??ShootersHillGuru said:4 -

Also, I really can't see Beale wanting to come here. He must have better options. He's in a better option right now. Unless he's got a house he can't rent out in New Eltham.2 -
It's a difficult one for Beale. On the one hand he might well want to be a manager in his own right but, on the other, he is respected as a coach and part of the Gerrard team that might one day be managing Liverpool. He's probably on very good money too and given the average longevity of a manager, the chances are that he would be sacked by us a long time before he and Gerrard part company with each other and/or with Villa.0

Is he? If he’s no ambitions to be a manager then yes he is.Vincenzo said:

But if he wants to be a number one, we’re a hugely attractive option to him. Big club with the possibility to make real progress. A club he already has a connection with in an area he knows well.
It’s surely a dream first managerial role for him. Just hope TS has the vision to give it a go. I honestly think if he’s offered the role, he’d take it.2 -
I still think Ainsworth will be our next manager.0

Klopp isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and has just signed a new contract. You’d think Liverpool would aim higher than Gerrard as well.Addick Addict said:It's a difficult one for Beale.
