    I think it’s pretty clear that we won’t be getting any announcement this evening.
    If it's not VFR4Life then I'm always going to be skeptical after the Sandgaard takeover thread
    And that's not a dig at any posters, more the sources being mistaken

    I like to think Adkins has gone, but Olly just really doesn't like ButtleJR
    I mean, who does?

    Not the club, because @ButtleJR honestly tells us what he's heard.
    And not us, because he told us 6pm, or maybe 5 ...... and well, because of that, we've all been on CL all afternoon.

    There's only one thing for it: Let's shoot the messenger!  :smile:


    Either that or he could be a plant for CharltonLife

    The revenue they must get from ads on this site when there is a thread like this,

    Must pay for the Strippers for the Christmas Party @ CL Towers
    Is this true @ads ?

    Surely the club need to say something, there’s so much speculation flying about that even my none Charlton supporting friends have mentioned they heard Adkins has gone. 

    Just complete radio silence seems a little cowboy to me. 
    Why …. if there anything to be said they will announce it …. just chill

    I expect we’ll know in 2 weeks time whether or not he’s still manager for Sunderland away

    6.20pm @Dazzler21 throws a strop and threatens to walk out on thread

  • Maybe it's like a new Pope, and we have to wait for white smoke to emerge from the Covered End bogs chimney?

    Good evening, Ronnie. You're well connected with the club. Tell us everything you know, please?

    Still can't believe this is where we are , so early in the season 
  • I think it’s time to accept that Adkins will be here forever. 
    What will end first, Adkins' managerial reign at Charlton or the DFS sale?

    6.24pm, 1 hr 24 mins after Charlton Life optimistically announced he's gone, Nigel Adkins resolutely holding on, Charlton Life looking concerned, sat behind their keyboards, unsure who to turn to next

    Is there much sympathy on here for Adkins ? I personally think he has to go but also not sure that will solve the issues so do have a bit of sympathy for him. What's other peoples thoughts

    I feel bad for him but the performances literally couldn't be worse if you actively paid them to play badly so something has to change. The players look lost and in need of fresh ideas.

    But before that, perhaps the club will buy a new fans sofa?

    Yes I have sympathy for him.  I also have sympathy for the member of my team whose constant absences from work have caused a huge amount of disruption.  She doesn't want to pack in her job but I wish she would go and save us the unpleasantness of a capabilities procedure.

    A little bit. He's clearly out of his depth but I do think that he is just at the blunt end of a much bigger issue

    In most jobs, when you get sacked, you don't get a handsome pay off so that lessens any sympathy in my eyes. I loved his positive attitude and focus on well-being - seems like a lovely bloke but it just isn't working. I don't think anyone wishes him ill or would be happy to see him do badly in the future unlike other ex-managers.

    Shame it hasn't worked out but I imagine he'll find the positives.

    Nige hanging on while his team constantly throw it away. 

    Funny, really.
