Do you honestly expect that was anything other than Dean playing the party line?DubaiCAFC said:Recruitment hasn’t been great, but let’s not forget he wanted the small trim squad, but he has left himself exposed.Let me tell you 100%, there is not one single football manager that ever wants themselves to be short of options and needing to play kids that might not be ready yet more than sparingly.57 -
Did he kiss someone...? CM?7

And I wonder what his salary is when he's actually not required to be here. Did his job of setting up the takeover.IdleHans said:I'd like to express my opinion that Charlie Methven is a useless slimy arsehole full of just as much shit as the serial uselessnesses that preceded him (just in case he reads this)2 -
If you believe that, good luck.RonnieMoore said:BigDiddy said:Do we have to keep going over the same old crap … CM had no say in this he not making them decisions .. this come from high down to Andy Scott and Rodwell … New manager will be decided by Andy Scott and Peter Storrie who is still at the club till Friday
CM is the chief architect of this takeover and what is following.
No manager, no time left in the window, no squad, no hope.Pearce and Hayes will do their best.
Are you confident in the new ownership and SMT?2 -
Rest assured, CM and the SMT will be taking out a few million a year when you add it all up.Ferryman said:

They will suck whatever life is left in our club.

This sums it up for me. All the players that have been brought in recently have been established professionals. Yet we get the kind of defensive mistakes that another team might make once or twice a season being made once or twice a match. Every team we play at this level has the ability to (mostly) pass the ball to each other - we don't. I'm not sure that the alliterative Taylor geezer has made one successful pass in his poncy pink boots. How does that happen? Every other team makes a good percentage of 50/50 headers, tackles, we don't. If we go a goal down we know we have lost the match. Every time we go a goal up we know it's almost certain we will drop points.LargeAddick said:Yes the squad has issues to be addressed but no way with the players available should we have lost five on the spin. I liked Dean as a person but I just don’t think he cuts it as a manager. Saturday was a clusterfuck from the time the team was selected, gawd knows what he was thinking of. I think the right decision has been made. I just hope there is a plan in place to get us out of this mess.
How do you cure this malaise? Well I don't know but having a manager that stands around in the laughably named technical area with his hands in his pockets doesn't cut the mustard. We do actually need someone that looks like he's motivated and won't stand for any more of this crap.
Edited to add: And they can cut out the waste of sending the team out to Spain pre-season. They can stay in their own houses and go to work at the training ground. All this team-building stuff is bollocks.6 -
Darren Moore isn’t a rogue. I doubt Bowyer would appreciate being called a rogue either. Robinson might be a bit garrulous, but a rogue? Anyway, we’re after a new manager, not a new ethics adviser. 👍stop_shouting said:

So Methven has the same control Sandgaard had and is running the show with everyone else involved his puppets. It's all on him alone is what you're saying.BigDiddy said:

Really disappointed that Dean Holden and company have been sacked. Looks like we are back at square one with owners etc.
Will still use my season ticket but not sure it will do any good and worry about encouraging owners/management that I and others can be taken for granted. Fortunate to meet Dean Holden and my impression was that he was a massive improvement on the last 3 managers we have had. I sincerely hope he gets another job if he wants one and does well.

Kind of pleased the decision was made so early as never felt Holden would turn it around. Started to feel very much like when he was leaving rather than if he was leaving. I like Dean Holden as person but it felt like Adkins 2.0 spell all over again.9

If Hayes is on set plays, how come the Club and him haven't parted ways? How come he's dodged the bullet?12

We have to hope at some stage there is a plan. Seems an utter farce at present and it seems unlikely the new manager will be much good.
Sad times for Charlton.

I never hear of DoF getting the sack? or is just meTodds_right_hook said:
Why?Wheresmeticket? said:Well we aren't getting any more players in now.Most managers do t get a say in the players anyway.I was out with a womble last week
amd he told me that signing players has been taken away from Jackson. He tells their DoF what position he wants, what type of player and it's done for him. He can concentrate on coaching. It's the modern way with most clubs following this approach2 -

Probably just a prediction based on all our recent appointments.king addick said:

If there is an actual recruitment process for hiring a new manager rather then one of their mates, then with the transfer window about to end it has to be a manager who has a plan of how to use this squad as is.
The season really is over if the new manager comes in and decides some of our stronger players don't fit their system or style of play.

Can it really be true the sackings were by text messages?
Stay classy us.
Burger boy poison has spread and spread through our club.0 -
Agree 5 games is very early to sack him. However, it’s a bold decision and shows that the owners are not happy with failure. Yes, Holden has a limited squad, but are they really as bad as these results. I think most of us think not…….SouthWest_Addicks said:Kind of pleased the decision was made so early as never felt Holden would turn it around.

Well yeah, true.0

Darren Moore has a 49% win rate across his three managerial jobs. He is no ‘rogue’.11
-
We've been unlucky with some poor refereeing but the defending has been bizarre and the team selection on Saturday was from Alice in Wonderland. If we get in Darren Moore or someone similar I'll give the owners the benefit of the doubt this once.1

It would be cruel for them, but I would try to get an in work manager if possible. Principally the bloke at Cambridge.0

It was going to happen sooner or later better to get it done now before he done to much damage
Here we go again on the Charlton merry go round0 -
Yep, getting shot of Dean only makes sense if you are bringing someone better in, if we go for a completely inexperienced coach / manager, then start to worry, and the chickens coming home to roost, will finally catch up with us.AddicksAddict said:We've been unlucky with some poor refereeing but the defending has been bizarre and the team selection on Saturday was from Alice in Wonderland.

I wouldn’t be unhappy with Darren Moore, but would he want to come?2
