    Cawley’s ruled out Sol Campbell.


    It's actually because TS sees in the stats that the majority of the managers winning promotions are white.

    Three things 

    JFH was a poor player for us as we got him too late. Irrelevant to his ability as a manager. Would he be my choice? No, but he's done a decent job at Burton on a tiny budget.

    Martin Sandgaard can't be manager as you need badges these days. He ain't got them.

    Thomas very unlikely to appoint a woman IMHO because, among many reasons he's, by his own admission, not PC or woke, meaningless and overused as those words now are.  See "Ladies" team 
     But it would give him the exposure he craves.

    He's tried the football route,albeit for a short period, and the chances and time needed to make Charlton a household name would take years and a shed load of cash best case.

    All hypothetical and probably nonsense but it's the kind of caper you wouldn't put past him.

    no, I honestly believe they have just started looking
    I think there is a case to be made for this.
    Up until Ipswich away possibly TS was vacillating, but that performance, in front of him, and in front of loyal fans you hope would possibly buy season tickets may well have been the deciding factor.
    That's exactly how I see it. 
    Listening to the travelling supporters singing we're f#$##ing shit probably sealed Jackson's fate. 
    Weak leadership then. These are the same morons who sing the Adams family dross for Christ's sake.
    No it isn't. Only a few supporters confined to one part of the stadium sing the adams family!

    And here you go again with the name calling when you went on and on when you were called a name!!!

    Don't come on here with rationality, people are getting angry over things that have not nor will ever happen.

    We have it sussed.
    All you have to do is mention the name of everybody on the planet to Richard Crawley and see if they’re ruled out.
    Whoever is left will become the next manager (or coach, is it coach these days?).

    TS is surprised by the amount of applicants already and feels this means the club is in a much better state already and is more attractive proposition than it was a year ago. He also agrees that we need a manager who has experience of the level we want to get to (champ) rather than just league 1 or below. He also says it will be a little while before a new manager is announced, at least 2 weeks.

    Experience of higher levels as either a coach or a manager I hope! Can't be ruling out the Beales of the world already...plus, 'experience' can be a double-edged sword, given how many have experienced and failed...

    Cawley seems to know names. He normally doesn't bat names off so quickly and sharply.

    Nope just the state of Football as a whole, Managers know they cant afford to be out of the game for too long else they get forgotten and become the next Alan Curbishley - Unfortunately I bet 90% of applicants are the type of Phil Brown | Alan Pardew type of Manager who are next to useless, and are only getting roles still because of past accomplishments.

    Hopefully we can go after someone who hasnt necessarily applied for the role (Michael Beale "cough"!!)

    Urgh. So Beale, Taylor etc ruled out. Why not get someone on the up with fresh ideas rather than another Adkins who’s probably past his best? 

    Assuming it’s true we’re ruling out those who could potentially develop into great managers in the future because we want someone who’s not managed to keep themselves in a job at a higher level.

    I dont remember if Adkins actually applied for the role or not? - I've got a feeling that we approached him

    So I said to we should get someone who can get us out of the league and who has Champ experience (just my opinion) and he replied with 'Yes, makes sense'.

    Mark Warburton fits that bill - The only one who really does from the odds

    Just a theory (a bit like "You cant sign Out of Contract players till 1st July" so take with a pinch of salt)

    But if we go for someone like Warburton or Beale, I wonder if we'll have to wait until their last game of the season is done and out the way, before we hear an announcement.

  • Thanks for the update. Everything I have read makes me think he already decided who he wants and just waiting for it to be confirmed. 

    Two weeks would be the time period between season ending and having a holiday post season. This is all guess work, but be interesting if more noise picks up when the football league is over as both Championship and league two still have matches to play on Saturday.

    Sandgaard's comments since the announcement worry me. He's getting too involved in the running of the team. 

    Talking about high press & defensive blocks like he knows what he's talking about.

    It's a worrying sign.

    The recruitment strategy worries me too. Don't think the manager has much say. I cant see the club progressing until he changes his approach & starts putting the team above his own ego

    Why can't we just be a normal football club??
    It’s crossed my mind that only a bit of a crazy guy would have bought Charlton when he did. Taking on ESI and dealing with Duchâtelet (and not being allowed to buy the assets) would have put off any but the most stubborn. Others lost money trying, and many more appear to have given up at the first hurdle.

    I said: Do you think we will get an announcement in the next week? TS replied 'That might be a bit too early'.

    Sandgaard out!
