  • We need it wrapped up by the time the Play-Offs finish because that's when the transfer market kicks in, if you leave it much past that and then bring in a new guy (who will have his own transfer targets) then you will really struggle to bring in the players you want.

    I hope it is Riga but if RD wants someone else then he needs to get on with it.

    Maybe not Ormiston. Under the new regime player recruitment maybe in the hands of a sporting director (no I haven't a clue whether we have one of those at the moment) and the head coach may have no say in the matter?

    Much still to be revealed!
  • let it go, the thread is about SJR.

    Hopefully you mean Señor Jose Riga and nothing else

    Possibly, but our last really big transfer haul (before the L1 Promotion) we were signing most of our players in May and June.

    That's normally the sign of a well oiled transfer policy, you know your targets and you go in and get them.

    Compare this to the farce of last summer when we brought in Church and Sordell the week before our first game.
  • At the POTY Katrien let it be known that it was a key objective to sign up the 14/15 squad by 30/6. This is good news and also indicates that targets may already have been identified by whoever makes such decisions.

    I hope Riga stays, but either way we need a decision quickly. The right manager may persuade Diego to sign a contract here, if left in limbo, we stand no chance of him staying. Apart from wanting to see him in a Charlton shirt next season, several million quid of transfer fee could be at stake...

    I have little doubt that wheels are well in motion in all areas
    Steve Bradshaw's left his handbrake off again hasn't he?

    We'd also had a manager in place for a good few months by that point who had been working on transfer targets all season. We do not have that this time even if Riga is appointed. Any Head Coach who comes in is unlikely to be responsible for or have much say in new signings anyway.
  • think we were well to slow last year and need to get the wheels in motion as soon as possible

    That's what I am worried about! My only hope is that RD and his "people" have lined up targets and are ready to roll now, even before a manager comes in.

    That might work on the continent but might not in England.

    Let's also hope then, that he or whoever is responsible for identifying transfer targets / moving players within the network, hasn't underestimated the quality of player needed at this level. So far, Astrit excluded, he has.

    Why not? So far as I am aware it really hasn't been tried widely and extensively in England , we can't write it off out of hand. Th ere is a lot of knee jerking going on in the British media that decries anything foreign as automatically worse than an English equivalent (just for example, the insistence on an English manager for the national team despite us not having produced a really successful top level manager since Brian Clough.)

    I am not denying it COULD go wrong but Jose Riga worked under that system before, even if RD brings in another to replace JR then they will almost certainly operate similarly. It probably would not work with an English manager - Powell's situation proved that. But someone who understands the system could get a lot out of it I reckon.

    Jose Riga has not said one word to suggest that he will remain as coach.

    He talked about completing his mission, but nothing about wanting to continue etc.

    I'm expecting him to be replaced, but you never know.
  • I'm with you sadly
  • A colleague of mine spoke to him whilst serving him. He said Jose wanted the job, but did not know what was going to happen. I hope he's involved with us in some manner.
  • edited May 2014
    Maybe he hasn't had that meeting with RD yet. It would make sense to have it sorted a.s.a.p. but I don't expect sense when it comes to the way RD does things.
  • Maybe everyone is on holiday and things will start to move in the next couple of weeks. I hope things get sorted early
  • Maybe Roland is waiting for the ends of each season for all of his network clubs, even the English playoffs. My advice to Roland is...get advice, good independent objective advice at that. Just as he subsequently found out about financial shenanigans in Budapest, he ought not to neglect things and then subsequently find out what a tough job managing in the English championship actually is. Roland really needs to work on the nature of the synergy between his European system and how it needs to be adjusted to take into account the peculiarities here at Charlton Athletic. I don't think one size will fit all.

    Clough never managed England far too outspoken for the old farts at the FA. Terry Venables and Bobby Robson weren't t bad though :-0

    there's an echo
  • It's been said that the original plan was for Jose to run the Academy if PH moves to Citeh and a Head Coach to arrive once his existing contract terminates at the end of the season.

    If this does transpire and the HC is from Belgium then the chances are that he will have been consulted IF he has any say in the matter.

    Plenty of ifs and buts and as always only time will tell. Perhaps news of PH will give us an initial clue??

    A colleague of mine spoke to him whilst serving him--don't like the sound of that

  • Hope Jose gets the chance he deserves - like his character and seems v modest.
    As much as I like CP we witnessed some terrible football under his reign.

    Yes a fair observation - time will tell if Jose is appointed and if so whether he can replicate his 'early form' over the longer haul.
  • If Duchatelet was so convinced about Riga, and vica versa, it would have been sorted by now.
    Roughly translated a new gaffer next season

    I don't think RD planned on sacking Chrissy so quickly tbh. He was desperate and probably didn't skimp on the cash to get a good man in. The problem that I have suggested before, is that Riga may not fully sign up to all of RDs plans either. If the fact that Chrissy not picking the network players irritated RD, Riga not doing so suggested that what he did, he did his way. He was in a position of strength to do this when he came in, but my guess is that RD wants a manager who will do what he wants - not his own thing! Just my guess - like most people I am anxiously waiting for clues to see the direction we are going to take!

    I take it you both just make up stories in your heads and think yep I know I'll write it in Charlton life .

    It's been a week today since our last game, give it time.
