I hope Sandgaard has a good handle on youth football in this country because that’s probably the best place to find someone who will accept this style of management.
U23 coaches under the age of 50 working in Premier League 2…
Brian Barry-Murphy : Man City Elliot Dickman : Newcastle Jamie Collins : Wolves Kevin Betsy : Arsenal Deon Burton : West Brom (ex-Charlton…) Andy Reid : Forest (ex-Charlton…) Alan Neilson : Norwich Paddy McCarthy : Crystal Palace (ex-Charlton…) Andrew Taylor : Leeds Neil Wood/Paul McShane : Man Utd Andrew Crofts : Brighton (ex-Charlton…) Mark Delaney : Aston Villa Mark Tinkler : Middlesbrough Andy Myers : Chelsea Noel Hunt : Reading Pat Lyons : Derby
Good start, but which ones play out from the back with a high press?
Might be quicker to list those who don’t.
I’d like it if we played out from the back with a low block and a medium press.
Do I get the job?
What’s your pedigree like for the role?
Did I ever mention my grandad was a manager of Millwall? Not for long, he was a bit rubbish.
If I’m honest I played football a lot at school, and then for five or six years for my work team, with ever really being aware of formations. I was the lanky number nine. But tactics never really came into it, unless you include violence (always a last resort).
Even now I’m always the last to spot that we’ve switched to a diamond (not a problem this season gone).
Things improved for the last two games, as I now wear glasses. I can actually see what’s going on up the away end at last.
That should swing it. 👍
Give it a few years and they’ll be naming a stand after you. But violence should always be a first resort surly with your Millwall heritage
I was more a Harry Cripps fan than a ‘wall fan. Switched to Charlton when he came here.
Letting Jackson go is the right decision IMO. He wasn't a failure but he wasn't a success either and he is still a Charlton legend.
Given the talk around his contract situation you'd have thought and hoped he'd be able to achieve more. The players obviously take a massive amount of blame but I feel what he achieved was par and we need more.
If it was my money I'd have made the same decision here despite how much pressure there is on getting the next appointment right and I'd like to see whoever comes in be able to bring in their backroom team.
Of the names around I'd love Keane just for the entertainment factor but it probably wouldn't work out.
More seriously we should try and go all out for Mowbray given the job he's done at Blackburn and talk of him going back to Scotland means we'd surely be in with a shout of tempting him.
Other than that I have no real preference other than please not McLeish. Would have preferred we kept JJ if that's who we appoint.
If you wanna bone crusher like Keane We could coax Kevin Muscat away from coaching in the the lower leagues of Japan The only positive i gave Muscat, a modicum of respect for, was his win at all costs mentality .Losing wasn't in his dictionary.Millwall got to the FAcup final with him as a player.When did we last do that
Gonna say 1947. Although the answer was in the name….
I reckon that whoever it is, it will be more of the same next season. Disregarding my pessimism, I believe that the best man for the job was, and still is, Lee Bowyer.

Wonder if TS was giving him football advice before he left ?
Genuinely would go for Mick McCarthy. People will say old school and should retire, but only 63 (don't be ageist), promotion at Sunderland and Wolves, play off with Ipswich, did ok with Cardiff. Somehow made ROI competitive and always come across as honest and engaging. I think young and hungry always sounds great on paper, but IMHO he'd command respect and discipline.
Ipswich fans we spoke to on Saturday said Mccarthy's football was dire to watch and gates dropped off.
I usually dislike the summer and get bored without the football. This summer will be interesting and before you know it we will have the football round again. Am I right in thinking the last two managers appointed in order to start a fresh season were Dowie and Peeters?
Russell Slade - easily forgotten though!
Yeah! Brilliant. Russell ‘are you patient Louis?’ Slade. He lasted until the November I think. He failed to be Russell ‘do well and then jump ship’ Slade with us, because he was unable to do well.
Don’t be too harsh he signed some real Charlton legends - Novak, Ajose, Foley and Crofts. He also gave me my most memorable Charlton game - 2-0 defeat away at Bury on the first day of the season.
Matt Taylor. A bloke who was an all action grafter as a player, and a football man.
He was given time - 4 years - to turn Exeter into a promotion winning team. Not half an already wrecked season, with a squad full of someone else’s players and a raft of injuries. See what happens when you give young coaches with potential the chance to build something? There’s no point in appointing Taylor. He’s Jackson with blonde hair. What does Thomas want exactly?
I might be delusional here, but we are Charlton and they are Exeter. They can afford to have a trial and error with an inexperienced manager and float in league 2 as they just aren’t as an attractive as a project as we are. We should be a championship side and shouldn’t be allowing inexperienced managers anywhere near us. Really feels like we’ve become far too happy with mediocrity. I wouldn’t be happy with it taking a manager 4 years to get us out of this league. If we have the budget as advertised then it should be done in one, two at most. Plenty of sides have proven it’s possible in the past and plenty will again
Like we gave Steve Gritt and Alan Curbishley their start in the Championship and time to grow, you mean? Didn’t work out too badly, did it?
Continuity works in football. It breeds success because the bloke in charge gets to stamp his style on the whole club.
That would be utterly soul destroying. If he, Neil Lennon or Lee Johnson got the job I genuinely wouldn’t go to a game.
I said that about Hasslewank on another thread and all I got was some nonsense from @Covered End about where I live - as if living in France stops me from going to games, or means that I shouldn't be allowed an opinion.

Let's not pretend giving them the job was some master stroke of tactical planning or foresight. They were cheap and already there. As were Lenny and Bowyer.

I doubt it. TS will never lead this club to achieve a glorious promotion campaign.
Neil Lennon Has great interest in the club as does his mate who’s looking to invest a heap of money into it Attended the last four games You heard it here first

Evening Roger
I thought Miere signed Akose and Novak before Slade arrived. Anyway they were leading scorers in L1 the previous season or near the top of that list.

Must of been a bit of money for Bowyer, he's in to 4/1? I can't see it myself
I wouldnt be overly shocked seeing that Sandgaard said that he hoped to work with Bowyer again one day, shortly after he left us for Birmingham - I have this feeling though that Bowyer didnt like the direction the recruitment structure was going, so decided to walk. Thats my own theory though.

If JFH can do it to them, he can do it again
Not the sort of attitude I want from a Football Manager.
Michael Beale and Liam Manning for me.
