Oh well seems like Nathan is up for a challenge which I'm surprised at but hey as another lifer just said even if we buckle and go down hopefully he can rebuild like at Luton. We have to stop this ridiculous manager merry go round and maybe our board have realised that they need to dip into their piggy banks to get something half decent.
Wonder what will happen to Curtis if Nathan is appointed? Not sure if Jones had a number 2 with him?
Wonder if the money men are restructuring the SMT to give Jones the autonomy he allegedly asked for, and whether that might see Andy Scott go the way of Appleton?

Hope so. If it happens it will be as good as Jones joining.
Seriously it does seem to be a serious step in the right direction.
You'd like to think these kind of advanced talks even first talks would involve sharing thoughts and opinions on both transfer targets identified by the club and players Jones may like and be aware of already.

Honestly, it's not impossible - Ramsay is 1. A fullback and 2. Has youth and potential, both things that Jones seems to value quite highly. I'm not saying that he definitely DID have anything to do with it but it could be construed as a metaphorical "olive branch" to show his views are taken seriously and he's not expected to be kowtowing to the whims of Scott.
Or, quite possibly, I'm talking absolute shit and it's a complete coincidence. This is probably more likely
If it’s Jones, then it’s a reason to be positive. A definite step up on Garner, Holden and Appleton. We really need this appointment to work. Good signs
Jones was on the final two man shortlist for the Millwall job.
Thought this was interesting too:
Curtis Fleming took caretaker charge of Charlton’s 1-1 draw at Blackpool last weekend, assisted by Jason Pearce.
The pair are expected to still be at the helm for Saturday’s home match against Derby County.
American investors Gabriel Brener and Joshua Friedman took a more hands-on approach to the process of bringing in the new man after the short tenures of both Dean Holden and Michael Appleton.
A positive in the final sentence in the SLP report, confirmation that the money men are getting more involved, which probably explains why standards and budget have increased recently.

putting 2 and 2 together here

is there no Gravesend as their postcode is DA ?
Plus of course all our owners if deal is outside a previously agreed sum.
