Just out of interest, what exactly isn’t getting done?ShootersHillGuru said:Come on. Our owner lives an 11 hour flight from London and has seen his expectations for his first year of ownership take quite a knock. He’s on his third manager and just seen the worst start to a league campaign ever. He’s comments that he needs a bit closer control to ensure things are getting done as instructed is very telling. He can’t devote weeks at a time to seeing how things are being done. Who better than his son, a vested interest to get a handle on what’s not only gone wrong but what’s not getting done. Welcome Martin.1 -

No - you're just going on and on about something you want to be correct.seth plum said:So Keohane has got in early to suck up to the new owner in order to cover up his uselessness.
Have I got this right?
I hate Keohane.
He used to be called Chief Operations Officer.
Yesterday all the turnstiles weren’t operational.
I am correct about that.0 -
The bonus is that if Martin doesn't do what Thomas asks him to do, Daddy can send his boy to his room without any tea as punishment.ShootersHillGuru said:Come on.

He is obviously baffled by the turn around in results since Adkins departure. Something must have been very wrong behind the scenes and
I doubt he has confidence in the person who recommended Adkins3 -
Charlton owner Sandgaard told the South London Press: “We were looking in the first week or two to see [how it worked]. Sometimes when you are this far away, on the other side of the ocean, you feel like no-one ever listens to you and everyone goes about their business – regardless of what I tell them to do.Chunes said:
But who's to say Ged didn't tell him?Longtimeaddicted said:If you make a fella your technical director (eyes and ears) and he don’t tell you, your managers is a happy clappy twat, that’s failing across the board, for whatever the reasons, then the fella ain’t done his job very well!
Solution, install someone you trust with your best interest at heart!Then tin tack the fella?
Didn't TS hang on to Bowyer for far too long as well?
In fact he never even sacked LB, he left.Who is he referencing? Adkins Roddy both?0 -
Adkins was not appointed because he was Roddy's mate. The same isn't true for the goalkeeping coach....Starinnaddick said:He is obviously baffled by the turn around in results since Adkins departure. Something must have been very wrong behind the scenes and

Lots of question that should be asked about Roddy but that isn't one of them.2 -
This is positive I reckon - at the very least it’s sandgaard snr realising he can’t run a London football club day to day from Colorado. Maybe sandgaard jnr might not be very good, but may well be on the path to hiring a decent ceo..3

Noticed he’ll be dealing with exclusively football matters, not the business side.. which along with his “things aren’t being done” comment strikes me as a bit odd..13

More questions than answers really come from this piece.
What is Martin's actual job role?
How high up on the ladder is he, is he in charge of anyone?
What does Thomas mean when he says that the footballing side didn't listen to him?2 -
I think we need to stop taking every sentence that is quoted so literally, every single time.
It’s exhausting.Welcome to the club, Martin.11 -
You said the person that recommended Adkins. It's often said, on here, it was Roddy, it wasnt. Just clearing it up.Starinnaddick said:

Man, I really need to compile all the Sandgaard era conspiracy theories into a book, there's a lot.
Clearly, Martin is here to tell JJ what a high press is and instruct on how to pass out from the back.
Or, possibly, just a job for a family member to keep Sandgaard capital closer to it's business interest and the appointment made to sound interesting with bollocks about footballing credentials.

If you look at it from Thomas's point of view:kentaddick said:Noticed he’ll be dealing with exclusively football matters, not the business side.. which along with his “things aren’t being done” comment strikes me as a bit odd..
You appoint a manager and finish the season well. You invest money in players, to play the system that you played last season, including the center forward you probably thought was vital. You then aquire more, more expensive, players because what you already have isn't working.
Fast foward 10 weeks (yes the transfer window did only shut that recently) you "star" center foward has been dropped on occasion because the team keep hoofing it to him, your big investment in Kirk (fee and contract) is in a witness protection program, your expensive loan signing isn't getting a game.
If the answer is as simple as Nigel is a bumbling idiot why did the "transfer committee" keep throwing Thomas's money at it? It if the answer was two up top why didn't we sign another credible striker? So many questions.
If it was my money I would want to know why, I don't expect anyone to tell us, nor should they BTW.3 -

No he hasn't "now sent his son over".Athletico Charlton said:Wasn't bothered until I read the article. Not sure it is over analysing to be somewhat cautious of the owners son somehow now getting involved in the football side.
"Reads the game better than anyone".
"has an amazing understanding of modern football, maybe more than traditional English football.”
I mean that is just weird and very "Roland".
We are finally on a good run, beat Sunderland, Plymouth and drew with Rotherham so not just easy games, yet he has come out and said he is interviewing other managers and now sent his son over.
He sent his son over in the first week of JJ's reign. At the point when we were up shit creek without a paddle. What do you want Sandgaard to do? Just keep employing managers and see what happens?
Sandgaard, as he said when he took over, plans to run Charlton as he has learnt to effectively from Zynex. This means he wants a trusted eye overseeing on the ground and, shock horror, has backup plans in place if the manager situation doesn't work. Worse still, he's keeping the manager on a longer probation period than impatient fans can stand, even though it's obvious JJ won't look for another job if he's offered it in a month's time.
Lots of drama queens in the charlton fanbase.7 -
We've been shafted enough times to justify the questioning. Not do long ago people were bowing to Southall and thinking we were rich.
We don't know what's happening behind the boardroom doors and so the questions will remain. And that's ok.16 -
Cue massive overthinking on this thread. Football owner sends son to oversee things. Don't see the problem. If there is one person TS can trust to give him an honest appraisal of the goings on down at the training ground / club in general is his son. I heard a rumour a few weeks back that this was going to happen. He's been staying at the InterCon at the O2 for the past month, looking to buy somewhere in Greenwich.sammy391 said:https://twitter.com/richcawleyslp/status/1462362498024329216?s=21Has some (limited) football experience- sounds as if Sandgaard has learnt to be wary of roddy
The positive from this is that he works closely with Jackson, and Jackson feeds back to him what he needs and this goes straight back to his Dad. Rather than it being filtered up through Roddy (The AntiChrist to some on here) and then back to TS.
The doom n gloom merchants think his son is going to be telling Jackson who to pick and what formation the team should play.
Oh well can't please everybody. Big Welcome to MS.

Agree. More so because no doubt Cawley has cherrypicked some quotes for his article anyway and without seeing / hearing the whole interview / conversation we can’t appreciate the whole context.KBslittlesis said:Do we really have to over analyse everything always?
I know we’ve been treated really badly for years but all this is getting really exhausting 😫

I believe that Ged Roddy isn't happy with the nepotism being shown by Thomas Sandgaard by having Martin Sandgaard in the club.17

When the next manager is appointed, so long as it’s JJ or it’s full on meltdown time?
When we get promoted out of this division?
When TS sacrifices his first born in the centre circle to prove he really is the real deal?
When?
Just so we know 🤔🤷♀️🙏🏻5 -
