Slade interview in the SLP
In process of producing a staff handbook for players which will have all the rules and fine.
Will contain my fav poem The man in the Glass by Peter Dakle Wimbrow jnr
"If you haven't got the right charectrers and the right team spirit then I don't think you have got anything"
Big on fines for things upto £10k last season for an overweight player who had two warnings. Was a maths teacher so "I can add up those fines". Money might go on equipment or a trip to the races. £50 for taking cup of tea in treatment area too.
Says "we are improving the changing the dinning area and changing rooms to make them more desirable (Does this mean Training groung rebuild has stopped and its now a refurb?)
He's formation is 442 that can morph in 4411 or 433
Can't talk about Cardiff.
Bigged up Charlton mentions Brighton, Cardiff, Sheff Utd "Charlton's tradition and history shows them to be a much more dominant club.
Sure it will be online next week

Am I the only one who felt a touch emotional reading this article.
No season tickets in our house but feel we have to give this guy a chance at the start of the season. Just don't want to he for Miere and spoil it5 -
He seems a Charlton type and understands us.7

He mentions "Sheff Utd", this guy knows his football

£50 for a cuppa into the treatment room? Cheaper than the Valley!10

The Guy in the Glass
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Who judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think your a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
And get pats on your back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
Peter "Dale" Wimbrow Sr.

How about fining the players who've been impersonating competent footballers. Roland could fund the academy on that kind of windfall.9

Slade and Steve Avory were both P.E teachers... could we see a bromance?1

I can't help but get the slight bit excited about this season.

Don't worry, it's been nearly a week since KM said something exceptionally stupid. She'll pop up to restore normality soon enough.FishCostaFortune said:I can't help but get the slight bit excited about this season.

He's looking to get us back to where we were under Powell. Where we were when RD took over. I hope they let him do everything he needs to do without interfering. Will he have the squad depth he needs? Will they listen to him if he says certain u21s aren't ready or good enough?
The other concern is we could end up selling 3/4/5 of our better players during pre-season or even later with little time to properly replace them. Players we could have signed on a free might have found other clubs. We've already paid fees for two players, how many more will they do that for?
It's good to see but it just shows the difference between someone experienced in English football (not necessarily even as a manager, as we saw with Powell) and cheap network/Belgian league appointments. So much time and money wasted trying to do things differently when they never had the quality of player or scouting set up they thought the network had.11 -

To an extent it does and I think Russell is an inspired appointment.
So top matrks for for the refurb and renovation of the House of Charlton.
But the foundations are still rotten.4 -
anyone else think the fining thing sounds a bit pedantic? A bit....maths teacher? Treating adults like children.
I like Slade though so let's see if it works.1 -
I'm impressed more and more with the SLPs coverage of Charlton (& the other clubs) and with every bit of Slade related news I'm impressed with him more and more. Of course the real test will be on the pitch and with results but I've been a charlton fan far too long to walk away and not turn up so I will be there and I will get behind Slade and the team. As for the 'I'm not going until he sells' brigade, like it or not nobody is ever going to believe you are not there because you are protesting, everybody is going to think you're not going because we have been relegated and if we do actually start doing well and you do ever creep back for a match or two or more before RD & kM leave then you will lose all credibility. Far better to bite the bullet, buy a season ticket and both get behind a manager and team that looks like it intends to have a go and at the same time voice your anti-RD/KM protests where they will be seen and heard, in the ground on a match day. You know you want to, you wouldn't still be looking at this site and posting if you didn't care.4

Never planned boycotting and hearing this kind of stuff has made me glad about that. Can't help but like Slade and some of the things he plans to bring to the club. Making new signings and current players learn about the history of the club is something I've always thought should be compulsory and something I don't think even the legend Chris Powell done enough of. Despite the lack of trophies and seasons in the top league, this club has an amazing and almost fairytale like history and the players should be made aware of that as a minimum.

Agree with first half of your post, but buying a season ticket is supporting the regime IMO. My season ticket is promised to the Supporters Trust, they have hundreds of them to be used as a bargaining tool as an when they see fit.letthegoodtimesroll said:I'm impressed more and more with the SLPs coverage of Charlton (& the other clubs) and with every bit of Slade related news I'm impressed with him more and more.

I have been a supporter since 1962, and will continue going to the valley buying individual tickets.2 -
If I'm honest, no I don't get it. What's the difference between not being there because you are boycotting the ownership and not being there because we were relegated which is the usual reason clubs match day gates go down ? Surely you will no longer be supporting the team whatever the reason for your absence. Club has less fans after relegation is not a story of interest. Club's loyal fans continue to support the team and come up with novel ways of protesting each home game is a story that will run and run and gain a lot of support for the cause, and maybe attract more potential buyers.Henry Irving said:

IF you are looking to go to most games and a season ticket works out cheaper, buy one.
I think the general opinion is not wanting to give money to the Belgians so the less the better.0 -

I have been going since '76, seen us play at about 130 grounds and in 6 different countries.
I'll see you at Bury but not the following week.8 -
Even better, buy a £175 season ticket for the covered end. A packed end with protest shirts, banners and protest events going on being shown in the TV goals highlights each week will surely have a much bigger impactElfsborgAddick said:
