I think it will be Erol or maybe even Rhoys Wiggins who is now a professional physio.5
-
Either Errol or an ex player like Webbo or Wiggins.3
-
Actually he may have said it the other way round - "it's someone Charlton know well!"0
-
It's probably.one of the following
Wayne Diesel
George Cooper
Erol
Webbo

Would Wiggins have amassed enough experience to be named head physio?3

Reflecting this morning I just found the whole thing wholly encouraging.
I think there’s going to be loads of ideas to boost revenue & support over the next few years (reckon the sweating the asset bloke would be in his element), not all of them will be successful.
But I’m convinced there’s going to be a real positive effort to move the club forward over the next few years and Sandgaard definitely gives the impression he is genuine, reasonable and will listen to fan concerns if it deviates too far away from what we collectively want for our club. Really encouraging.
The 5-year goal for me isn’t around league positions or financials, but that this current feeling remains and we look back and think how lucky we were to get this guy on board.44 -
I think kids today are generally quite capable of spotting things that are rubbish. Off with their heads!ForeverAddickted said:
Its something that people can associate with their youth and the happier times at the Valley - What we must remember and be careful of at the same time is there will be kids who attend the Valley who relate to the Knight and Robin nowkillerandflash said:It puzzles me why people are so obsessed with bringing Floyd and Harvey back, when they were just generic mascots anyway with no connection to us.7 -
Thanks to CAS Trust and TS for an excellent evening. What an amazing contrast between last night and those strangulated, stage managed, content controlled and censored events endured by Meire (and shunned by Duchatalet). Thomas was warm, engaging, inspiring and as open as he was legally possible to be.
Very well managed by all the Trust Board members present, but with a special mention for Sam who handled the selection of questions and prompting of Thomas very well indeed.24 -

I sat next to Rhoys Wiggins at the valley for the second leg of the play off semi final and he said he was studying to be a sports nutritionist.

Please do @Sage This was the one thing that troubled me last night. It would be awful for that role to go to some wannabe character rather than someone who can work across all areas of the fanbase.Sage said:

I 100% get the non serious nature of your comment. Even in jest, that job is to good for them! I would like to see them cleaning the toilet floors in the ground after half time.....with their tongues!sillav nitram said:Great evening thanks to everyone for organising.
I can’t think of any previous Charlton owners who have been so accessible and so liked by the supporters.
A thoroughly decent bloke.
On the subject of mascots perhaps we could employ Farnell, Elliot and Southall to take on the roles because with any luck they’ll all be out of work soon and will have plenty of time on their hands. Plus they all love the club so much and only want the best and so it’s the least they can do, surely?4 -
Yeh but Roland was about and haunting the catacombs with the other non dead...Rob7Lee said:He gets up at 3am, just like Roland did

I hope he never has the potholes filled in. In a few years when we are playing in the Champions League regularly it will be the only thing we can moan about.allez les addicks said:Essential watching for any Charlton fan and almost 2 hours well spent.My main takeaway was his knowledge of small details related to the club, which gives me confidence as it shows he’s genuinely hands on and investing his time due to being committed to this project. There is no way he should know who or what Floyd or Harvey are, let alone what the shopping experience is like in the club shop or the relative minutiae of its outsourcing arrangements.The CAST guys did well once they warmed into it and were no doubt thrown by the guitar start. Thank you, this is a great example of what the Trust can do in ‘normal’ timesThe only issue was not asking him when the potholes in the car park would be fixed

Many thanks to CAST:
@Weegie Addick for last night's successful Zoom evening. From beginning to end, it was 90 minutes of controlled play with everyone knowing their positions and some lovely assists and the Trust reached their goal. It wouldn't be Charlton if there wasn't 10 minutes added time when we are winning ! But most welcome.
No booing from the masses, but the mute button does come in handy.
Heather was a fine captain even if she looked slightly worried at first that Thomas would do a 90 minute gig on the guitar !
Sam Cooke played a blinder in midfield and having only came out of the academy recently should have a good future.
Andy Buckland had periods of inactivity in goal but was quick off his line and is a safe pair of hands.
We are so lucky to have Thomas Sandgaard and he needs all the backing from the Charlton fan base. 2021 will continue to be a challenge.
At the end of a dystopian year for so many, last night was refreshing and gave an optimistic feel good factor for all fans of Charlton Athletic.
Cheers CAST.

I think if people are to apply then they need to be able to detach themselves emotionally from what happens on the pitch

Just to add further, it sounds like we didnt even have the most basic of treatment previouslyoohaahmortimer said:

Now it sounds we're going to try and get some things in that the big clubs in England, Europe, MLS all utilise1 -
He initially wants to look within the fan base, don't quote exactly me but his words were something like 'he'll be looking for a retired/semi retired ex company CEO or similar who could work right across the fanbase'. If there's no one suitable within the fanbase (he mentioned interviews!) he's prepared to look outside and make it paid job (all be it part time I believe).Davo55 said:

So not sure at this juncture if it was a fan if TS would make it a a paid role or not, all will become clearer soon I expect.3 -
Don't doubt @sage would be great but we already have a supporters' liaison officerDavo55 said:

Mr Sandgaard had an amazing attention to detail, seemed across everything and nothing fazed him.
The event was excellent and provided a great platform to help fans to get a handle on what kind of man Thomas is.
The Trust and the owner both shone brightly yesterday evening, and as I write I believe Mr Sandgaard is flying in to the UK.
For that event alone the measley £5 annual membership fee for CAST is well worth it, and for Mr Sandgaard a season ticket, or media subscription is well worth it too.
If you watch it for the first time try starting out as cynical and suspicious as you can be, and see how you feel by the end.
I found him to be irrisistable and extremely impressive.14 -

lots of people seem to get excited about this Fan Liaison role and recommend others for it etc. I don’t think the vast majority of fans have much of an idea of what such a role most likely entails. I think they’d lower their interest or change their suggestions if they did.8 -
I think his words were "and its a familiar face" after sating its someone with an excellent resume. I'm with sage i reckon its Danny Murphy.Redmidland said:Actually he may have said it the other way round - "it's someone Charlton know well!"3 -
Yes well done Sam for sensibly ignoring my question about how much Money Mouthall walked away with even though it got enough up votes!Davo55 said:Thanks to CAS Trust and TS for an excellent evening. What an amazing contrast between last night and those strangulated, stage managed, content controlled and censored events endured by Meire (and shunned by Duchatalet). Thomas was warm, engaging, inspiring and as open as he was legally possible to be.
Very well managed by all the Trust Board members present, but with a special mention for Sam who handled the selection of questions and prompting of Thomas very well indeed. 3 -
Tia Walby is the Fan's Liason Officer, although it's stated as "interim."0

What does Flow do?0

Oh it was you. :-) The way it was phrased made it most unlikely it was going to be asked, because Sam was otherwise playing a straight bat and reading out all questions exactly as phrased. But I doubt TS'd have wanted to talk about any settlements anyway, and there would be confidentiality clauses.cantersaddick said:

"The speculation is that Roland Duchatelet wants to retain The Valley as a potentially profitable property development site. Has that featured in your initial discussions with him about the valuation of The Valley?"
That was the most liked question that didn't get asked. But no complaints from me. The hosts need to judge which questions might have been likely to make Thomas more guarded than he was.2 -
