I’ll be honest I have no idea about sectarianism and the historic hatred between Rangers and Celtic so no idea why everyone hates Lennon for that however I see no positives from him as a manager given it was a two horse race in Scotland and didn’t end well.
for me Beale and Warburton are the appealing options given they would look to build a culture here I think. Beale might prefer to be more in the background though
under no circumstances would I welcome Bowyer back.
Warburton is aspirationally optimistic. Farke is fantasy. Beale or Warburton and I’d be happy. 👍
Problem is, Warburton left Brentford because the policy at the time was very much like Charltons, high belief in stats and limited say in player recruitment. Unless he has changed his views, I dont think he would willingly accept our way of doing things
I am not bothered by his allegiances or which side of the sectarian divide he comes from, what does worry me is other than that first spell at Celtic he has been an angry failure.
Couldn’t care less what religion he is and if you’re bothered by that nonsense you’re a tool. I am bothered that he’s not a good manager.
Was informed that Beale will be a non starter as he was not happy that Thomas said he had contacted him in an interview when Adkins left. I can't recall this can anyone verify please? Hoping this is not the case and Beale is a possibility. Thomas has verified to me that he tried to contact Beale last time.
Sectarianism has led to over 3000 violent deaths during the modern troubles in Ireland, and those sentiments spill over to a degree in Scotland. Those troubles have dominated a huge chunk of the lives of many of us, and for that reason sectarianism certainly bothers me, and I have taken the trouble to know about it. They say ‘politics’ should be kept out of sport, but this is more than politics, it is tribal, as football is tribal. Hence why Lennon was at the heart of controversy in Scotland. Currently such troubles have more chance of returning than going away. The peace process should be preserved and extended, but it is very much under threat.

Got nothing to do with who our new head coach/manager will be. As per usual derailing a thread when it’s not needed

Sectarianism has been mentioned prior to my post. How come you’re not complaining to those posters about derailing a thread first? Read my post which is about the broader background in which Lennon operated and explain which bits are inappropriate.

I don't want Neil Lennon as manager, but not because of the Celtic links. It is more to do with his underwhelming spell at Bolton. I quite fancy both Beale and Warburton and won't be put off because they are ex Rangers and an Ibrox faction sing about support for the UDA.
Both of the Glasgow clubs have sectarian factions who are horrible in their support,but that doesn't mean that individuals associated with either club cannot join Charlton.
Ironically as well as having some supporters who vocally support the Republican cause, Celtic is also the best supported team within the UK armed forces. Steve Gallen is a fan of the Hoops.
Therefore we cannot make political points surrounding appointments in our club based on a faction within Celtic's support.

Thanks for that. Very interesting. Great choice of words from Thomas as always. How anyone can take anything he says seriously is beyond me now. Clearly full of shit.

This. I'm not interested especially in Scottish football(I vaguely follow St Mirren) and especially the pair other Scottish fans refer to as the ugly sisters. Similarly religion. But I want a manager with a good track record. We need to aim high. Lennon isn't that person, and on that basis alone, I prefer someone else.
And if people want to bring the old firm/religion background into it, why is Seth not allowed to comment?

When he was at Bolton weren't there loads of "other problems" such as the players not getting paid?
I think you have to be careful looking at other people's track record without looking at the detail.
Who would have taken Richardson over Adkins based on CV?
Have a look online at the interview he gave after there game yesterday and the comments from QPR fans and i didnt read one bad comment they all speak very highly of him his management and style of play and along side that seems like a very likeable man thats in the league above btw
I think a few people need to have a think about where we are as a club and be more realistic Warburton would be a class appointment !

I’m sure he does come across very well and I’m sure he is highly thought of. I’m also sure that a number of quotes from this thread will be retrospectively quoted and LOL’d in 6 months time with the benefit of hindsight. Someone who wasn’t a popular choice will be successful or vice versa. However, my gut feeling is that Warburton wouldn’t be a good appointment at this point.

Nothing to suggest he would be successful for us working to TS’s budget buys and desire to break even.
If for nothing else, than to be able to holler 'For Farkes 'ake' when the inevitable losing streak starts

under no circumstances would I welcome Bowyer back.

No one cares that Beale is ex-Rangers
