  • The more I think about it, the more I want Michael Beale.
  • Really can't see Warburton coming.
    From what I've seen his stock is still pretty high and many think he was harshly treated by QPR.

    No way he'd come to this nut house.
  • charltonbob you mispoke.
    "You said Gallen appears to have taken a back seat as negotiator".
    Now you say you meant a back seat from recruitment.
    Gallen is THE negotiator and also involved in the recruitment.
    Yes my grammar was poor ................ much like your spelling. But this is a public forum not an examination.
    It isn't a case of "Now I say" as though I have changed my mind. I made the point that it appears sandgaard jnr is getting more involved in recruitment while Gallen has taken a step backwards & seems to be viewed as a negotiator more than anything going by quotes I've seen recently by Sandgaard Snr. It made sense to me as I rushed to post before going out, next time I'll try & take a little more care. Many apologies for confusing you.

    I’ve not once said that, simply playing devils advocate,I’m saying it’s not as much as a big pull as it once may have been, there are a lot of people on here telling us TS doesn’t know what he’s doing, so based on that why would someone want to leave the stability of an improving side and the potential of another,  good season off the back of promotion that isn’t unusual to see. I really doesn’t matter what I believe the proof will be in the pudding next season, however you are welcome to think,what ever I believe to suit your narrative. It doesn’t matter how big a club we think we may be if we keep losing 20 odd games in league 1. 
    Like Lavelle did you mean?

    Don't think he's coming.
  • Oh dear,  it's gonna drag on ain't it?

    Same old same old Charlton!

    You're persistent, I'll give you that.

    Funny

    but he doesn’t tick enough boxes 
    Is that right?
  • This utopian vision that is taking hold won’t have any basis in reality. 

    Fans are fickle. Can you imagine the Covered End if we were still nowhere near getting out of this league in April 2025?
    Yeah... it be empty

    No it won’t .. think by end of next week we will have a new manager 
  • No it won’t .. think by end of next week we will have a new manager 
    That's a guarantee  that it will take ages...
  • I want some more Exeter discussion.

    Nice place, usually warmer than here and drier.  The University is very secluded but still only a short walk from the city centre, it even has a duck crossing.  
    Doesn’t sound like the sort of place you’d want to leave.

    I have a feeling it will be someone of his ilk. 

    Will we offer competitive contracts to get the best in, that's my concern.

    I think TS sees us as a scale up organisation, you try the cheap options first then spend if/when that fails. I'm not sure after trying the cheap that he'll be able to afford the spending required as even the cheap costs millions per season.

    To be fair Thomas has spent on the expensive options.  Adkins, Stockley, Kirk, Aneke and Fraser were not cheap by league 1 standards at all.

    You can question how he has spent it but he hasn't tried to do it all on the cheap.
    Most the signings made towards the start of the window have turned out to be good ish signings. It was the summer signings after the Wigan defeat which have been terrible. Arter, Leko etc (Lavelle being a obvious exception). It’s obvious what went wrong and hope the board and new manager won’t make that mistake again.

    Who ever get the gig at Charlton, I hope they are luckier than Bows, Natkins, and JJ when it comes to injuries. 
    On the law of averages if we can sign fitter,  players to start with then the 'curse' may disappear because we used to get players that played every match.
    I say curse because Corey Gibbs played 100 games after leaving Cafc where he didn't play and Page has played 70 odd games in the last two seasons.

    I don't blame the medical staff as different medical staff had the same thing happen.

    It did take quite a radical change of system to get the best out of them.  Good players certainly.  The right players at the right time?  Still question marks for me.

    I think Bowyers obsession with Bielsa’s murder-ball probably hurt a few players fitness!  It seems we went to far the other way under Nige and by the time JJ got on board the players didn’t have a fucking clue what was expected of them!

    new gaffer,  all new ideas and methods needed

    IMO without two decent full backs on either side we were always going to struggle. Those are the key positions which needed recruitment in both windows and never happened. Surely anyone in football would have noticed and identified that. We got lucky with CBT towards the end.

    Nice place for an away game visit too (unless a mid-week Winter fixture).

    Ange is a brilliant manager. His style and tactical knowledge is superb. He's had success pretty much everywhere he's gone, over many many years. 

    Popovich isn't in the same class, but a decent manager at A league level. Can't see TS's net casting that wide tbh. 

    Aussies sounding like us...?! 🤣🤣 I've been here nearly 30 years, and people wonder how I still speak with a London accent after all these years, and I tell them, I don't want to sound stupid! 



    To say Popovic isnt in the same class, is quoting the obvious, but is being very disrespectful to the OZ A League. Most players that come here ( Carl Jenkinson M F for newly cowned champion leaders Melbourne City )would surely attest, that it is a far higher standard and intensity than most think
        And because man management is a very high prority for a good manager. Is it really that important  what league they work in ?
        I hate Victory, and feel that they will at least reach the final (Play offs)--- Poppa, has them running like a well oiled machine, built around a solid defense, like all successful teams are. With a high press.--- Top 3 finishings, with 3 ex Premier league players as managers
                    Melbourne City  Managed by Paddy Kisnorbo
                    Melbourne Victory    Managed by  Tony Popovich
                    Western United         Managed by  John Allouisi
     I am not saying that any of the above ,would realistically be in the running for Charlton, but i have a gut feeling that TP is only just starting as a manager ,and one to watch .He has gone 15 games without defeat now .If Graham Arnold gets booted out of the National team coaching job (likely if OZ fail to reach the W C finals, after 2 team play offs) Poppa may get his job.
       If the final is between City and Victory (2-3 weeks time) i urge our scouting staff to check out 3 under 23s for Victory ,and 2-3 the same for City-- Connor Metcalf (City) is already off to Hearts--- Sorry its a bit off topic, but i'l nominate my choice any way
         Wots Arry Kewell doin these days
  • Do you think the CL pages record is going to be broken on this post??
       What are the odds?
