    I think everyone needs to cut TS some slack.

    We have a club to support thanks to him, no one else. Forget Barclay, he didn’t want to get involved without the assets, so TS was the only option and we all owe him a massive thanks. 

    Has he over promised, has he made mistakes - yes, but who hasn’t. 

    For the last 15 years, this club has been poorly run, so we need to forget the “that’s not the way we do things at Charlton mindset”.

    He genuinely wants to build something here, so let’s get behind him, ride out the good with the bad, and be grateful that we’ll have a competitive club to support come the start of the season.

    Just because we were mixing it in the premier league once, does not mean we have a right to do so again. Look at Oldham! 
    It’s the year 2030. Charlton have just completed the Derby double over Dulwich Hamlet as Thomas proclaims the road to the Prem starts here.

    Honestly I can’t deal with this anymore. He saved the club doesn’t mean he (or anyone else) is immune to criticism. It’s beyond parody.

    I don’t think Sandgaard has played a blinder. Appointing his son and giving him authority in a position where he lacks expertise and experience is already looking a poor decision. The CW incident alone is clear evidence of that. It’s widely believed that Junior and perceived interference has cost us a couple of candidates.
    His record in hiring and firing at the club is atrocious. This ongoing saga does little to change that.
    We all want him to do well and thereby, the club in turn. However, he doesn’t appear ready and willing to learn from mistakes. That doesn’t bode well.
    I’m sorry but this post is all hypothetical to come to a suitable narrative, is his son in authority and the cause of anything wrong yet? We haven’t had anything happen to judge whether he has done good or bad, nobody complained at the time of hiring various people and so opinion has been based on  hindsight. Do we all want him to do well? because as I see it any opportunity to dig him out is being taken? The attitude of I’ll support him if he does what I think he should, is selfish, shallow and boring .

    Only 669 followers seems low for a journalist who covers three popular sports in that area if he was a main journo ?

    Sounds similar to what Richard Cawley said about Ben Garner weeks ago.

    It does sounds feasible though and let's hope it's true.

    So he is the reason for Jackson and the players being shit?

    But was had he done so badly in the last two years, when you consider how shit we were for the 13 years beforehand. 

    He doesn’t have a magic wand! 

    I can’t deal with this attitude anymore. Easy to slag someone off when it’s not your money that you’re having to pump in season after season.

    Let’s list out his mistakes…

    1) He’s made some bold claims which he shouldn’t have done

    2) He underestimated the league and we were slow out of the blocks last season

    3) No one should play the guitar on the pitch 

    What else?

    He's one of the reasons for two terrible loan signings, yes.

    If you think everything is going to change this season, good for you.

    I don't.   I'll believe it WHEN I see it.

    Look at that CV and tell me all will be fine.

    What?????? We are more shit now than at any point in the last 13 years.

    A period that included signings such as Cullen, Bielik, Gudmundsson, Buyens, Bulot, Texeira, Taylor, Bauer etc.

    Championship football (even under the owner we had). Play off promotions.

    Has he learnt from last season's mistakes  ???

    He was definitely involved last summer, all be it informally.  Well as informal as you can be being the son of the owner.

    You mean he has lied on his Linked In as well.  Or did TS only make an official announcement when somebody was going to let it be known first?

    Genuinely interested.  But lying on linked in when all you've ever done is work for Daddy......

    I agree last year was awful, but that follows 13 years of being shit, but he’s not a magician or a billionaire owner, so it’s going to take time.

    Oh come on mate we all know he was 100% responsible for everything shite. Jj would have been great if he was allowed to pick the team and formation, everyone knows TS & MS are picking the team, deciding what hot dogs are on sale, intact every single thing is decided purely by those two because they are both devils children 🙄🙄🙄🙄

    I don’t think Sandgaard has played a blinder. Appointing his son and giving him authority in a position where he lacks expertise and experience is already looking a poor decision. The CW incident alone is clear evidence of that. It’s widely believed that Junior and perceived interference has cost us a couple of candidates.
    His record in hiring and firing at the club is atrocious. This ongoing saga does little to change that.
    We all want him to do well and thereby, the club in turn. However, he doesn’t appear ready and willing to learn from mistakes. That doesn’t bode well.
    I’m sorry but this post is all hypothetical to come to a suitable narrative, is his son in authority and the cause of anything wrong yet? We haven’t had anything happen to judge whether he has done good or bad, nobody complained at the time of hiring various people and so opinion has been based on  hindsight. Do we all want him to do well? because as I see it any opportunity to dig him out is being taken? The attitude of I’ll support him if he does what I think he should, is selfish, shallow and boring . 
    MS has been head of "data" for 18 months.....
    Has he? Are you sure? 18 months?
    YES!


    So he is the reason for Jackson and the players being shit? 
    Well part of the problem is that we have not recruited very well which no doubt made things harder for Jackson regardless of other failings.

    He is PART of the system that has failed. So while it's not fair to say he is the whole and entire reason for a poor season he very much is PART of the reason.

    Despite what his LinkedIn says he was only officially appointed Director of Analysis in December 2021. We know he

    He’s been based on London since Adkins was sacked.

    You mean he has lied on his Linked In as well.  Or did TS only make an official announcement when somebody was going to let it be known first?

    Genuinely interested.  But lying on linked in when all you've ever done is work for Daddy......
    Wouldn’t call it lying, it’s not uncommon for some people to not show every job title separately and instead display their current/final title at each company they’ve worked for.

    He was definitely involved last summer, all be it informally.  Well as informal as you can be being the son of the owner.
    Agree it’s clear he’s become more involved over time.

    I think everyone needs to cut TS some slack.

    We have a club to support thanks to him, no one else. Forget Barclay, he didn’t want to get involved without the assets, so TS was the only option and we all owe him a massive thanks. 

    Has he over promised, has he made mistakes - yes, but who hasn’t. 

    For the last 15 years, this club has been poorly run, so we need to forget the “that’s not the way we do things at Charlton mindset”.

    He genuinely wants to build something here, so let’s get behind him, ride out the good with the bad, and be grateful that we’ll have a competitive club to support come the start of the season.

    Just because we were mixing it in the premier league once, does not mean we have a right to do so again. Look at Oldham! 
    It’s the year 2030. Charlton have just completed the Derby double over Dulwich Hamlet as Thomas proclaims the road to the Prem starts here.

    Honestly I can’t deal with this anymore. He saved the club doesn’t mean he (or anyone else) is immune to criticism. It’s beyond parody.
    But was had he done so badly in the last two years, when you consider how shit we were for the 13 years beforehand. 

    He doesn’t have a magic wand! 

    I can’t deal with this attitude anymore. Easy to slag someone off when it’s not your money that you’re having to pump in season after season.

    Let’s list out his mistakes…

    1) He’s made some bold claims which he shouldn’t have done

    2) He underestimated the league and we were slow out of the blocks last season

    3) No one should play the guitar on the pitch 

    What else? 
    What?????? We are more shit now than at any point in the last 13 years.

    A period that included signings such as Cullen, Bielik, Gudmundsson, Buyens, Bulot, Texeira, Taylor, Bauer etc.

    Championship football (even under the owner we had). Play off promotions.


    I think and hope he was refering to the ownership of the club and how it was run..maybe!!..

    Well part of the problem is that we have not recruited very well which no doubt made things harder for Jackson regardless of other failings.

    He is PART of the system that has failed. So while it's not fair to say he is the whole and entire reason for a poor season he very much is PART of the reason.
    Wasn’t a problem when Jackson was caretaker, and don’t give me the we didn’t have strikers for however long, because the missed hatfuls when they played aswell. If Jackson had continued how he began , nobody would be questioning what MS was doing.

    He's been doing it unofficially ever since TS bought Charlton......
