Are we really at the stage of waiting for applications and interviews.? Thought he had someone lined up already?
If so, just shows how last minute decision on Jackson was.
It's really starting to look to me like this wasn't a planned thing and is the result ofa conversation they have had on Monday. I.e, Jacko has not wanted it to be known until the season is over - partly for fear of a complete downing of tools - the amount of players that he doesn't want for next season. He's possibly even been limited with what he has told TS over the last few months. He's then gone on the phone Monday and said this is what we need to do - a la Chris Powell - and TS has said no, we're not bringing in 15 new players. He thinks our squad just needs a few additions, jacko probably thinks it needs 15. That is what i think has happened but know no more than anybody else - i really hope that isn't the case but the appointment and recruitment should tell us.
having said that, i've just been on the other thread and seen the player rumour thing re a new manager so maybe not but there again, maybe so, who knows, i don't - renewed my season ticket today though - glutton for punishment - wake me up when the season starts, really bored of charlton atm
Aside from the fact that he has Cheltenham mid table in League One, which is impressive in itself, one of the things that has impressed me about Michael Duff in last year is his use of the loan market to source young, hungry and talented players.
He, or someone in his staff, does a fantastic job of identifying young talent to bring in. I’d hope we’d be in a position to be able to look at permanents as well rather than just loans.
We attracted young, hungry talented loans. Until we refused to pay the loan fees.
True but i doubt a club like Cheltenham are spending a fortune on loan fees though.
Has anyone mentioned Claus Jensen, done a pretty good job managing a small club in Denmark for the past two years, that may be near the limits of its potential and all the obvious connections. TS must know him - and he does like being popular.
That’s exactly what we need! Another club legend, untried at this level.
Although I expect you’re whooshing here?
Like Lee Bowyer and Chris Powell?
Was Bowyer ever a 'Club Legend'
After his racist antics after he left, more a Leg End.
And being caught out on dope testing as a yoof player.
Cannabis, ecstasy and packet. Can certainly testify that isn't performance enhancing just in case anyone was wondering...
Going back to around 1966/67 I’d say, an old pal of mine who had come up through the youth team and was playing regularly for the reserves (as it was then), came to grief with the club. He went down to Brighton or Margate for a weekend away clubbing it with some pals from the Lewisham Mods scene. Biggest mistake of his life. He swallowed some Doobs, Purple Hearts (SKF’s), I was never exactly sure of how the info got back to The Valley but sadly for him somehow it did. Now this fella was clearly looking like he was going to make the grade all the way but he was history in seconds flat. How times have changed!
Did TS say to somebody it will be two weeks, maybe waiting till after playoffs, Manning?
Manning or Warburton would be my preferred choice.
Both would be decent choices, but I can't honestly see either wanting to join Charlton unless they were out of a job and were short on options. Warburton would certainly want to be his own man and would not accept a role where his hands were tied with player recruitment. He would need a lot of convincing to drop down a league. The only reason Manning would come to us would be money, so that rules him out. If he leaves MK I would imagine his future would lie in the Championship in any case.
Beale might be prepared to drop to League 1 to give himself the opportunity to be a number one rather than a number two.
Please God, not Bowyer again! Nasty bit of work with terrible man-management skills.
I really thought sandgard would have the new manager in place by now. It’s not as if he didn’t know that he was going to sack jj some time ago. Being a business man he surely sees what a precious commodity time is
I think after the Adkins choice last time it won't be any on the bookies list this time either.
Our whelming is likely to be under rather than over in the main.
Don't mind being pleasantly surprised, but really can't see any amazing appointment happening.
Know what you mean fenland but amazing can be amazingly good or amazingly bad. 🫣
Very true. I think we will have a hint after the manager and then player recruitment, then a couple of months after the start of the season to see how things are progressing. Fingers crossed, TS needs to get it right this time or he will be pissing his money away again.

Have u been to MK? Usually one man and his dog watching..
No potential managers spotted but someone who has had success with Orient on Football Manager and with Newcastle on the ZX Spectrum has applied in writing.
Probably because we’ve a few plastic rangers fans. I mean who gives that much of a fuck if you support Charlton I certainly don’t. I don’t want him because he did pretty badly at each of his last three clubs.

I prefer the green side of the Old Firm and I certainly wouldn’t want Lennon at Charlton. Last spell at Celtic was clueless and he has got worse since.

Didn’t do Russell Martin any harm getting the Swansea job.
Spoke to a friend of mine who is a season ticket holder at Rangers, he said this about Warburton:
"Good attacking football but no real plan B. If it wasn't working his plan B was do plan A better. Most fans didn't want him to leave when he did. Set out the team to be entertaining."
That was gossip about Warburton in a west London article I read, but if he thought the youngsters were good enough he would have played them.
Pep Guardiola only has a Plan A at Man City according to Kevin de Bruyne. May just be me but I don't find it attractive to do 25 passes and the ball ends up back with your own keeper. Mix and match to keep the opposition guessing. There are only good passes whether 3 yards or 30 yards. Two cracking headers against Shrewsbury which is still an important part of football until they ban heading. To not use the assets of Chuks and Jayden would be a nonsense in League 1. Get the fast striker to play off the shoulder of either of them.
Mark Warburton could be the coach, manager and director of Football and do the accounts and players contracts, that all on his CV. I love his story of giving up his well paid job as a City trader in his late 30's to follow his dream of coaching in Football. Great story and he must have an amazing wife to give up one lucrative career to enter the fickle and precarious world of football where you need so many lucky breaks to get anywhere. The last 22 years says he made the right choice.

I've put £20 on him getting the job.
That was me playing multi player soccer manager. However, I used to play 0-10-0 formation and would usually win 6-5, 8-6 or 9-0. Maybe it's the attacking football Thomas wants.

Didn't seem to hold Curbishley back. I've seen video evidence of him launching a table through a brighton cafe window having it with some rockers in '79.

Perhaps the person he wants is still in a job and has to wait till end of season and there contract running down
