Wales, Scotland and Denmark are not in England, Daz !
TBF Rocket Ronnie was Martin or Thomas Sandgaard's vanity project which wasn't helped by COVID.0 -
It's staggering that the SMT thought they'd get top quality players in (for League 1), without having a manager/head coach in situ. Players will go where they know a manager will play them in the main. It's like L. Watson coming in under Holden, and then Appleton hardly playing him! I find this naieve approach unbelievable and the WHOLE SMT are to blame. Its been typical of CAFC over the years, too fucking slow!
I thought the start of this transfer window was really good and it filled me with hope for the future, now we're back to 'jerking' around again!! When will we ever learn? The SMT have 12 hours to put this right.....we can only hope they do!2 -
They really are twats aren't they?NabySarr said:
Well who could have possibly seen this being a problem? Only Charlton could go into 2 deadline days with no manager in 1 season. Not learning after the first one that didn’t go well9 -
Pompey sign the oft mentioned Owen Moxon from Carlisle.0

Very hard to look overseas under much of Gallen’s reign owing to work permit rules. It changes last year so we can look now.CAFCDAZ said:

we were looking at an Australian striker in the summer but his new parent club wanted him to go elsewhere in France on loan as they want to make a fortune on him. Shame, lot of potential1 -

Personally, I am not worried if this new managerial appointment isn't completed by the weekend, or even for another week for that matter.
I would rather they take their time, do there due diligence, regardless of how long it takes, they have to get this one bang on for me.
In terms of players, hoping for a wing back additions, another striker or whatever, is simply just a fans wish in my opinion. I am not suggesting we don't need those positions by the way, I'm just saying. We as fans have nothing to back them wishes up on at the moment. Were just assuming 3-5-2 for instance.
For all we know, the manager could be in that boardroom discussing this right now.
- Telling the board exactly what he doesn't want or even better, what he does.
- Based on his preferred formations, discussing with current coaching staff where they think we might be short in terms of quality right now.
- Then going through his own ideas for plugging them gaps.
- Basically assisting the recruitment team before the appointment is announced to the media.
- Rubber stamping the deals that may already be in the pipeline etc etc
Today could be a busy day if that is the case. The appointment could well be delayed for this reason.4 -

Who needs a coach or manager when we have Andy Scottshirty5 said:
A brand new concept that could work.Rufus is a dogs name said:This is where having a manager already in place (especially someone like Jones) could make the difference in persuading players to choose us over rival teams...At least we are consistent thoughCharlton Athletic go into their Second transfer deadline day of the season and on both occasions have no head coach or manager in charge

I don’t think we’re an easy club to manage right now. I can see why someone like Jones (let alone Warnock) might need some persuading.0

Collins to Bolton confirmed1 -
I'm starting to feel punchy2

It’s past midday so according to Rodwell we’re allowed out of bed7

This is a very good point. I'd also take a step back and suggest that surely different managers bring different skillsets and players will want to play for someone who they think can improve them. You can't know that when there's no manager in place so a bit of a leap of faith by the player.ForeverAddickted said:
Completely different scenario to that of a Footballer thoughgolfaddick said:
Yes, rather obvious don't you think.Scoham said:Cawley must have read my post 👋🏻 Confirms the better players with other clubs interested want to know who the manager will be.
Cast your mind back less than a month ago....the main reason why Connor Coventry signed was because Appleton (the manager) went round to his parents & chatted through things. To a lot of players I expect they dont really care who the actual manager is but actually HAVING a manager I expect IS a big deal.
Would you change jobs & join a Company when you dont know who your manager is ?
If I moved jobs, and didnt know who my Manager was then it doesnt matter too much, provided I get on with my own work and do what I'm supposed to do.
For a Footballer there are eleven spots up for grabs - If you join Charlton thinking that you'll be a starter, the last person you're going to want to see as Manager is Nathan Jones for example, if he's already moved you on previously, because he doesnt think you're good enough.
Also different managers bring different personalities and some will be more enjoyable to play for and train with. I always think life under someone like Steve MacClaren/Roy Hodgson must have be dull as they are pretty boring characters.1 -

God I’d love even a sniff of a rumour2

McGrandles, another one along with Kirk, Fraser, Jaiyesimi etc who were too injured or too weak to make any memorable impact and live up to expectations. Exactly the type we need off the wage bill.3

Mohamed Toure? Doesn't look like it was the best move for him as he's only played 141 minutes so far.Swisdom said:
