For once good football people with football knowledgeup_the_valley said:Charlton Athletic are delighted to confirm the appointment of four, experienced professionals in senior roles at the club.
Dean Holden has been appointed as men’s first-team Manager, Andy Scott has been appointed as Technical Director, Jim Rodwell has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer and Ed Warrick has been appointed as Finance Director.
Charlton Owner, Thomas Sandgaard, said: “I am delighted we have been able to appoint such experienced and knowledgeable people to help us move forward.
“Each individual appointed has experience at Championship level or higher and the appointments should give us the structure and stability that we need to progress as a club.
“When the men’s first-team is successful, it lifts the entire club, which is why the additions on the footballing side are so important. Dean Holden is a talented manager, who is well-respected in footballing circles. He’ll bring good experience and knowledge which will help us as we look to get our season back on track.
“I am really pleased we have been able to bring in Andy Scott. He is a highly-regarded individual who has played an important role in the success of a number of clubs and has the vision, skillset and contacts to help move the club forward. He’ll play a key role in the January transfer window and longer term will help further align the direction of our men’s first team and academy.
“The appointment of Jim Rodwell gives us senior leadership, on the ground at The Valley. He has excellent experience and I have been very impressed with what I have seen already.
“Ed Warrick is an excellent professional and will be the perfect replacement for Emma Parker, who leaves her role at the end of the week.”
Caretaker Manager, Anthony Hayes, will take Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion before returning to his role as men’s first-team coach to support Holden. Scott Marshall will continue as men’s first-team assistant coach. Jason Pearce, who has been assisting Hayes, will return to his role with the club’s U18s team.
Sandgaard added: “I would like to thank Anthony and the team for stepping up in the interim and managing the side during this challenging period.”
A press conference with Dean Holden will take place this week.

Ever the optimist eh?!BenHaimandBikey said:OK, maybe I'm a little too positive. Can see some respected dissenting voices.
Oh well, I think these are good football appointments. Off the field, I dunno and there isn't much I can do about it. Fingers crossed, I guess.1 -
I wish Holden well and hope he keeps us afloat. Can't see the point of laying into him.

The up side is that with Lyle and Scott the players will be well turned out on matchdays.KiwiValley said:Andy Scott’s first signing to be Lyle Taylor who he has worked with at Nottingham Forest.Lyle Taylor could definitely do a job for us …apart from his last three games of his contract obviously.3 -
New investors coming in? Is Sandgaard finally splashing the cash? Only time will tell.0

Well, whoever appointed these individuals, and however long they are expected to be here for, if they all do their jobs well, it can only help the club succeed and that is what I, personally, want more than anything else - it's certainly more important to me that who owns the club (aside from us being backed by some evil regime) - so welcome and good luck to all four of them.5

Why?ElfsborgAddick said:
However, if the appointments are being made by the new guys it is very worrying.eastterrace6168 said:Def looks like these ground breaking appointments have absolutely naff all to do with our glorious leader Tommy, just going from no one to OTT regarding staff, although much needed appointments.
No he is being worked from above, you can almost see the strings, more is to come soon me thinks...and hopes..🤞🤞1 -
Of course, none of this is his fault.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:I wish Holden well and hope he keeps us afloat. Can't see the point of laying into him.
However, we have been here before, so fans are on a very short fuse.1 -
He's possibly caretaker & if so on a short term contract, probably extended if he does well.Scoham said:No mention of Holden’s contract length - is this significant?0 -

CL_Phantom said:So the appointments break down as...
Dean Holden - Ben Garner replacement
Andy Scott - Ged Roddy replacement
Jim Rodwell - Brian Jokatt replacement
Ed Warwick - Emma Parker replacement
Let's hope they all last longer than who they're replacing!
*Edited Cheers
One person, the most important is who is Tommy's bloody replacement, that's what we all need to know...this is mental torture0 -
Welcome to the club, Dean. Enjoy your ride on the great Charlton management merry go round.

Holden was a CB? Might help our 2 calamity janes at the back1

Having had a few hours to think about it & having seen Holden's resumè I still don't know what to think.
Part of me thinks we could do worse & it seems Holden wasn't that bad at his previous jobs.....and they were in the Championship whereas JJ & Garner were inexperienced & never managed higher than League 1.He hasn't been out of management long so its not as if he is desperate for a job so he must see something in us.
But then I think there must be more to it than that. Perhaps he is only temporary, to see us into the summer & to keep us up. No idea what his footballing philosophy is but I doubt it's the pass pass pass tactics of Garner.
Shame he isn't taking charge tomorrow but I"ll be there Boxing Day to see what magical formation our new manager can come up with.

For me Holden has a simple brief, keep us up and if he makes a case for longer term good luck to him.swordfish said:If it is Holden, he starts with a clean slate IMO and I hope he can change our fortunes for the better with what's available to him. I won't prejudge him as he's an unknown to me, but if he can get us to finish top half, he'll have done well IMO.0 -
Dean Holden once contacted me about doing some work for him - I went back saying we should set up a meeting and he ghosted me.
It was the right call, I would never have managed to do what he asked, so I respect his good judgment!

I think that we have long been in the territory of dented expectations with Charlton.
Why do I get that strangely familiar feeling that we are being set up for another plunge to new depths?
Good luck to them all of course but it looks like my letter to Santa Claus will go undelivered again unable to cross the picket line.2 -
Hopefully these guys will be allowed to do their jobs, with minimum interference. Can only wish them luck.1

I like the cut of his jib.3 -
I don’t know much about our new manager
Neil Holden.
and I have never heard of Andy Scott.
but no doubt when they get no fucking support from our wanker of an owner TS and Idiot Gobshite son, they too will be sacked and we will be heading for league 2. 🤩👎👎👎👎1 -
So it seems that Scott will be working alongside sandgaard junior 🤦🏻♀️ FFS 😡3

Probably not if there’s still a takeover on the way and these are the new owner’s appointments.ParkinsonOut said:So it seems that Scott will be working alongside sandgaard junior 🤦🏻♀️ FFS 😡0
