Danny Hylton is very well versed in the darker arts of being a striker and will be able to pass that on to all of our strikers, particularly the young ones including Miles. UEFA B license and working towards A so has the knowledge. Jones knows him well and vice versa. A short term deal to I suppose see how it works out. Really can’t see why there are negative comments. Won’t be near first team squad unless we’re decimated. Jones has fought hard against resistance from Scott to get this done so I’m happy it’s resolved. Blocking what Jones sees best doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
Might of missed this, but did Scott try and block the move?
Is this Jones just helping a mate out? Hylton needs to be attached to club and coaching to complete his A license. Rather than some cunning master plan it could be just someone doing a mate a favour, with a minimal benefit to Charlton. Perhaps explains the low key/late announcement. The delay could’ve been Jones having to persuade the rest of the SMT.
Paul Hart retired. NJ sees him as the replacement? By all accounts it sounds like Hart was respected at Charlton so I can imagine him retiring was a bit of a blow for NJ. Bringing in someone he knows and respects? Just speculation on my part though.

Quite an allegation.
Obviously gets on very well with Jones. If Jones thinks he will be a valuable addition to the club as a coach, and being at the club helps him get his UEFA Pro license, I guess it is a win-win
This transfer would probably be gathering more noise had we started the season poorly, luckily, that's not the case.
Not really bothered that he's signed, definitely just feels like Jones helping an old colleague out, as I imagine there's plenty of people willing to coach out of work.
Wouldn't like to see him come on at all in a first team game, he'd just hold us back from what I've seen and heard. Those opportunities belong to the youth and players on the fringe of the starting line up like Kanu.
If we notice a positive change in Ahadme, TC, Leaburn, then I'm happy. Hylton has been known to win a lot of free kicks by positioning his body wisely between ball and defender. Sometimes, our players are that little bit too honest and can lead to decisions being missed, ignored or leave the player putting themselves in a position to be knocked/injured.

If it's true that Scott tried to block it, perhaps it's not just this poster that thinks it.
He's not in the playing squad today. I don't think we'll be seeing much of him. As was said above, let's see how the young forwards play under his tutelage
Methven said at the Bromley thing we had 27 players and it was too much. I counted them all and it came to 28... Assumed it was Hylton and he really is simply a coach.

Which NJ referenced in his post-match comments saying people said we had too many players but now we have injuries you can see why we need a squad

Hughes was a much better player at that point than Hylton is now. He had been in the Championship.
