    Jeez.  I joined CL nearly 16 years ago (shortly after it started).  Have endured the highs and lows, lived thru RD, Spivs, ESI but never stopped going.  TS has spent millions and saved us from certain doom.  He isn't right with everything...but who is?  The sense of entitlement of some individuals on here to verbally attack and criticise amazes me - he's the guy who owns us - get over it.  Yes we all want a manager sorted and ready when the window opens on the 10th June and we all want success on the pitch...but give the guy some time.  Social media and the ease with which we can all 'particpate' in discussion has made it so easy to moan and this thread is one of the worst I can remember.  Give it a rest.
    U ain’t seen nothing yet - this is just a warm up act for the transfers thread 
    What transfers? The window will only be open for a month and we are now, waaaay down the back of the que, Just like last year

    Personally I think we've only appointed him so he can be player manager. Then due to our lack of right-backs we're going to sneak Alan Hutton on and hope nobody notices.

    Thought TS said he hadn't been appointed. I'm confused now. Welcome Ben. I'm very pleased with that actually.

    Awaiting reply from Dr Raelynn 😂
    I'd actually find it funny if she replies saying "I understand that to be correct".

    Well he hadn't, and now he has been. Be no point appointing him today if he'd already been appointed

    She doesn’t need to.
    Literally a thousand Charlton fans already have.
    How we laughed.

    Where's everyone now that were saying the hold up wasn't due to TS wanting to be there for the photo opportunity and to announce it himself?

    We would be if we’d only just started working on transfers. I don’t think that’s that’s the case. 

    I did suspect that Mrs TS‘s comment denying that Garner had been signed on a two year contract was more about the length of the contract than the fact that he’d been signed. I finally got something right!

    Firstly I am happy with the appointment and am excited to see what Garner brings. Think some fans won’t like it, and there’s going to be times when we lose it at the back and possibly concede from it. But if he can replicate the stats he did with Swindon, it will at least make me enjoy watching Charlton a bit more.

    Secondly, just makes the ‘still interviewing’ and ‘understand that to be incorrect’ denials look even more silly now.

    Someone did mention it was potentially incorrect because its 3 years instead of 2 haha

    Just as I thought, my arrival back home put TS under serious pressure to get this done. 😉 Welcome Ben!
