4.5 year contract to 2028 was my main takeaway from that.
All part of the new but not mentioned in public 5 year plan. Jones to take us to the promised land and Pep to take over to win the Champions League in 2028/29
Love his attitude tbh. Gets the club, which I think we need in our managers. Building something. No fucking about. Win games. Tick tick tick. Really hope he gets a good start Sat.
I’ve always wondered when people say he gets the club, what does that actually mean?
The only thing that I heard that come over to me as remotely flippant was a response to a question re' Southampton.
Liked the bit where he was talking about his manger role versus a head coach role and he said something along the lines of "If I'm going to be judged on things, I must have involvement is certain decisions". Certainly comes over like he's got control over who comes and who goes. Just gotta hope that other forces don't get involved and overrule him, when those decisions need to be made.

He understands we have no money, the players aren't very good, we can't afford to replace them, we no longer own the ground, the beer is awful, there are potholes in the car park, but, despite this, we have a fanbase with delusions of mediocrity, and expect an immediate turnaround in form, the start of a winning streak and almost certain promotion next season (and the season after).
It is when you have a bit of good news that you can always identify a glass half empty!
15 mins of Welsh waffle & 30 secs about the team, and even then he didn't give any info about who could be in or out apart from that only Leaburn isn't "fit". I hope he isn't being paid by the word..........
Anyhoo, at least he has some oomph about him & should be able to get the fans behind him. Problem is, can he get the players playing.
If anyone from the comms team is reading this: Any chance of passing a mic around for the journo's asking the questions? Apart from terry, I really stuggled to hear what they were asking and had to try and work it out from the answer (which I also struggled to understand, due to his broad accent, but I won't hold them responsible for that part).
Nice to hear it's a 4.5 yr contract. At least then, it'll make it alot more difficult for other clubs to try and poach him if he's successful, which I'm really confident he will be.
Pelling, which cult have you joined other than the cult of Charlton Life where there is no escape 🤔 Last summer, my Daughter who lives in crazy world of showbusiness(actress, model, presenter, children's entertainer etc) with about 20 different strings to her bow performed a fire act at Saint manor hill over two day when Tom Cruise paid a visit for the first time in years to see some old friends. Tom sold his house to Peter Andre locally so maybe he is cooling on the church, set up by old Mrs Hubbard's son, Ron.
The Scientologists paid well and she managed to get out without being converted. Wealthy people one and all and East Grinstead has also many Pagans (good folk) who often can be seen in the woods late at night, naked or just in their gardens being one with nature. A friend lives there and he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
I'm still an atheist but anyone who worships the earth can't be all bad.
I don't want NJ to be loquacious in his press conference especially this one when the national press are there as they want him to do a Glenn Hoddle faux pas and say the reason that people support charlton Athletic is because they are miserable sinners in this life. Obviously Glenn said in a pass life but that wouldn't be Nathan's take on it.
I hope he said the team are spending long hours at Sparrows this week in understanding team play and partnerships ?

Thought it was a great interview in the whole.
I don’t think he’ll get overruled because I think he’s got his remit from the owners. I think that’s why Scott’s position might be in some doubt. I think Jones will have the biggest say in everything related to playing football. I’m sure that his role won’t be without input but I just can’t see either the four and half years contract or him signing it without very big reassurances. I think Scott will be gone this time next year.

He sold that house to Andre as he just stays in Saint Hill Manor when he visits now I believe. The whole estate is incredibly eerie!
Scott is in the last technical director's saloon but may survive if the rest of the season picks up and some of the new boys show promise and fans show up to support NJ and the players as the gloom has been depressing at the valley for some time.
I was convinced that Andy Scott would come good,( bold statement !)but he has a mountain to climb with so many critics. NJ being a manager not just a head coach gives the Welshman more power. Inquest for Andy Scott needs to take place at the end of season as we need cohesion as staying in this division is paramount before we take big strides forward next season.
Seems the press can’t let go of his time at Saints, really hope it’s not long until his success here is all he’s asked about. His presser was light years ahead of Appletons weekly car crash, not that it needed much effort. Really pleased we have him and I’m excited for the potential of him making a success of it here.

I thought a few weeks ago Louis Mendez was doing it via zoom or such like. I'm not sure they are all in the same room.
when that journalist asked about a certain club and Jones just said he didn't want to disrespect anybody by naming names, what club name did the journalist actually say? can't make it out. it's about 8 minutes in

Not like you to be so positive, Golfie.
