Behind-the-scenes dream team

We've all done it, haven't we? Imagined that we've won a squillion pounds on the Lottery. And ended up with enough cash (after paying for the necessities, like the mortgage, the second home, the flash car, the yacht, the second flash car and the third home) to buy Charlton Athletic.

But, of course, once you've bought it, you have to get people in to run it. The behind-the-scenes team. So who do you put in the key positions? Here's my team:

Chief Executive: Peter Varney
Director of Football: Alan Curbishley
Manager: Chris Powell
Club Captain: Johnny Jackson
First Team Captain: Chris Solly

What do they have in common? Three things:

1. They've already proved themselves
2. All Londoners
3. Proper Charlton

What's your team?

    In a bid to save money as I wish to keep running costs to a minimum I'll hire an under qualified Belgian lawyer as a chief exec, surely the skills are transferable!

    With that lot in place, all we would need is a funder and success would eventually follow - to be clear, Jackson would work alongside Powell no instead of

    Colin Jackson can go take a running jump for all I care.
    Percy Jackson just doesnt have the required Spark

    Janet Jackson can run the Ticket Office, despite claiming the Best Things in Life are Free... We still have to pay for Charlton tickets!!

    Here's my team:

    Chief Executive: Someone who knows what they're f***ing doing.
    Director of Football: Someone who knows what they're f***ing doing.
    Chief Scout: Someone who knows what they're f***ing doing.
    Manager: Someone who knows what they're f***ing doing.
    Club Captain: Someone good at football who also knows what they're f***ing doing.
    First Team Captain: Same person as the club captain - you don't need two captains.
    Owner/Chairman: Someone filthy stinking rich who also knows what they're f***ing doing.

    What do they have in common? Three things:

    1. They all know what they're f***ing doing.
    2. They all know what they're f***ing doing.
    3. They all know what they're f***ing doing.
