  • I would not be surprised if we appoint somebody who has not even been mentioned.
    If we brought in a nobody from Italy as a player what is to say we cannot bring a manager in from abroad.

    Cawley again using the term Head Coach rather than manager, seems intentional.
    Think it just suggests they won't be super involved in transfers which is fine by me
    It’s not been going very well for Chelsea 
    Works pretty well for most other clubs though. Managers have become expendable so this way of doing things means you aren’t too reliant on the manager. 

    The modern way of doing things is you have a style of play and recruit players that fit it, then you can recruit managers that fit that. Also means it’s easy to replace players and managers that move on, look at Brighton, Luton, Brentford etc they’ve lost players and managers and easily replaced them and continued to improve by using this kind of set up 
    Helps if your owner isn’t a complete loon!

    Boehly apparently wanted to pay Union Berlin £45m for one of their players, David Fofana. 

    That was until Pochetino stepped in and explained they could t do that as he wasn’t a Union Berlin player and was only on loan.  From Chelsea!!

    I’m pretty certain that we’d have heard if Scott Parker was in the mix. Be shocked if he accepted a third division job. Having said that. For those of you saying “I’m done” if x,y or z comes in, can I ask you to close the door behind you. What a pathetic and entitled nonsense. 
    I think we do know Parker is in the mix, read the comments from people who have previously proved to be ITK.  No one has directly said it but its been strongly hinted at.
    Thanks. Not sure how I missed the hints as I’ve read 99% of posts. I recollect  @Valliantphil hinting at a Charlton connection but I’d not included Parker in my list with that connection.

    They strongly hinted a lot about our transfer window that didn’t happen. I think it’s likely they are mentioning names like Jones and Parker to boost credibility, and then will all end up talking up whoever it is that is actually appointed like they are the better choice anyway or that it’s Holdens fault we are 16th so those names aren’t interested

    Right, Scott Parker. If he comes, I go. It will be my last season. It's not even that I hate him, although I do.

    It's because he's just a little bit thick. He lacks every skill set a decent manager needs. Inspirational qualities; tactical nous; luck; man management skills; leadership; and coaching skills.  He has none of these in my opinion and have I mentioned that he is a dullard?

    In addition, with his choice of cardigans, it would be impossible for any player to look at him and not laugh rather than take him seriously.

    Scott Parkers cardigan cost around 5 for every MINUTE he wore it on the  touchline before he was sacked by Bourmouth  The Sun
    If he lacks all the above he must at least have had some luck seeing as he's managed to win two promotions. 
    Karel Fraeye could have got that Fulham side promoted.
  • I actually don't think having a DOF is a bad thing considering we lament the fact that each time we change manager a new manager has to come in with X managers players, at least this way the head coach has less of an impact on the kind of personnel they bring in which on a long enough scale should help give us an identity of sorts which we seem to massively lack 
  • I do not think Parker would come did he fall out with Curbishley over his transfer to Chelsea.

    It’s time.

    15-20 years ago we were regularly linked with Hayden Mullins and Darren Purse.

    Interestingly they’re both have managerial experience - Mullins of the Turks and Caicos Islands national team and Colchester, and Purse with Cardiff u23s.


  • No way will it be Parker, which is just as well, as my virtual season ticket would be going straight in the bin. 

    I’ll never forgive him. Never.

  • I will be surprised if the chosen one doesn't have a pervious link to Scott or CM.

    Yes but fences mended at Fulham.
  • The reality: hinting at Parker but rejected by the Stockport manager.

    or signing him for West Ham maybe?
  • No disputing that Parker was a top level player and was well respected as a player by fans of all the top clubs he represented.
    He has surely learned from his initial managerial jobs and could be ready to go again but I doubt it will be with us in League 1.

  • My money’s on Les Reed.   
    Changed my mind.   Les Dennis.

    If Parker riles up our fans than yes like Lee Johnson I want him in 
    Don't mind Parker but as soon as he states 'I have unfinished business at Charlton' then i'll be at him like a rabid dog. 
  • Cowley has definitely made it to the second round of interviews.

    Probably only likely to be 2/3 at this stage.

    I hope he shaves his little beard before the interview or it's a big no from me

    Nathan Jones or Leam Richardson seem the least likely appointments to have some turning their backs on the Club but most likely to be serious contenders if interested. Of those two, I'd choose Jones.
  • So in brief, Scott likes Scott, Cawley likes Cowley and no one wants Appleton.

    Imagine turning your back on the club because they don't hire the manager you want 😂😂

    The nightMeire would of already been having second thoughts about the one she appointed last week with a view to sacking him at the end of the next really tortuous transfer window!!!!!

    Pull yer finger out Charlton.
