This is all feeling like last summer but worse. Then we were just waiting for some incoming players. Now we're waiting for manager, then players. If we couldn't find a squad in the time available with a manager in place how the fuck are we going to rebuild without a manager? Wimbledon seemed to move quickly enough. Evidently there was no plan. Fucking Charlton
You have to wonder if TS would be able to attract a manager with any clout. He hasn't managed it to date and he's had two go's already. Would think the most head strong of successful managers would listen to how TS intends on doing things and would run a mile. As I said, expect to be very underwhelmed. Unless TS alters is pig headed stance then this club will never prosper imho.
We’ve faffed around for weeks and ended up with a league 2 manager who couldn’t achieve promotion from league 2, we need a good start to the season, or the fans will get on his back.
SOME fans are on his back already.
No, as someone rather crudely put it to me on WhatsApp, it's not going to give anyone a hard on but he does have a solid coaching background.
Can't say that he feels like a huge improvement on Jackson, who I'd have preservered with, but he's young and seems like a modern attacking coach who plays and develops younger players so he ticks a lot of boxes for TS.
At least, if it is confirmed, the club can move on with signings and pre-season games.
Curbs said at Bromley Addicks a few weeks ago that the advice he got from an experienced manager when he was starting out was "just win some f****** games"
I suggest my namesake does the same and very soon.
The long coaching video of his interview posted above has the topics described as you go along the progress bar. Towards the end it covers data in football, so I watched it for a bit, and Ben Garner definitely thinks the use of data will become, if it hasn't already, very very significant.

I wish him well but truly uninspired by his appointment.
Part of loyalty is having due regard to good servants of the club.
Obviously hope he does well though.......

Entitlement reeks. Better get in some 60 year old failed Championship manager instead.
Comes in with low expectations from Charlton fans.
A step up, and hopefully a wage increase from managing in league 2.
Negatives
I’ll let you lot fill them in….
