For me an 18 month contract for Warnock would make sense. You know what you are getting with him. Would be a real step change in quality and experience from anything we have seen in recent appointments.
Actually more than a little surprised he would even consider it.
Not so sure on Jones either. He found some magic at Luton but can that be recreated?
Find the idea of short term with Warnock, when there are excellent long term options that will allow us to build, a bit silly and the football equivalent of a sugar rush
Every argument is in favour of appointing a longer-term, younger manager, except one, and that isn't the prospect of relegation, which I believe we'd avoid under Jones. No, the one argument is attention. Charlton Athletic would be noticed again, in a context other than 'what happened to those guys'
I'd rather we didnt sign someone for the short term, only to try and get someone else in the Summer - We need to be thinking about next season now, as well as trying to survive.
Otherwise its potentially another wasted season in League One.
Yes the alternative could be a season or more in League Two... But c'mon, we'll never progress as a Football Club again if we're fearfully looking over our shoulders.
a few years ago I'd have 100% had Warnock, now I think I'd rather have Jones of the two (more longer term vision). Surely Jones can keep this squad up comfortably and then have a real go at it next season?

I can’t see the sense in it either. Who will be available in May/June that isn’t now? Why would they be any better than the managers available now?
As others said if a long term appointment can’t keep us up and do well beyond that then don’t appoint them.
We need to stop the rot and gain some upward momentum, and very quickly. A long term, build for the future, type appointment, has no guarantee of working out, and could lumber us with yet another failure, on a long term contract.
Having said that, if Warnock is a serious contender at his age, why the hell isn't Curbs in contention? Out of the game a long time for sure, but he's surely more clued up about Charlton than Warnock is!
When it all goes tits up again for the new manager, as it surely will, I want to enjoy the ability for some amusing protests against them. Neil Warnock and his funny anagramatical name give us the best opportunity for this to happen. Come on, get Colin in.
Even accepting reasonable paranoia caused by previous bad management / ownership, there's a hard-core of about 5 to 10 people on here who will never stop questioning an aspect of the club for one reason or other. IF the new manager comes in and gets a tune out of this squad, setting us up for a decent run at promotion next season, reckon there'll still be some people finding someone or something to criticise, even if it is the colour of a pair of chinos or prejudice bs about their education.
‘‘Twas ever thus
there are some overly obsessed people on this forum, who rather than discuss a managers or any club employees capabilities , would rather focus on their background, education, upbringing, choice of trouser colour or political persuasion, weirdo’s

Full support still behind Jones if he gets it though.
I'm not sure we'll get either, and neither would be my first choice, but of those two, I'd prefer Jones.
