    Can’t see it being Nathan Jones but I’d welcome that one. Preferably someone with a CAFC connection. Darren Moore if not. Again I think both of those would look at a Championship gig. Bracing myself for Appleton or Cowley however 

    I thought Nathan Jones has a Charlton connection, working with us in 2012. Didn’t he stand in as temporary manager and win 3 out of 3 matches, or am I mixing him up with someone else? Wikipedia has him with us for a year or so before going on to better things.
    Maybe Kevin Nugent you're thinking of? Won 2 and drew 1 after Slade was fired into the sun

    Noting what @Airman Brown said - about the next step for Powell would have been to talk to Methven.

    Why?
    CM and his apologists keep saying he's got nothing to do with the running of the club
    Another lie

    Which we all knew already

    To be fair it has also been said that CM is the link between the SMT and the owners so although he might not be involved in the day to day running any big appointment like that would surely have to get his approval. CM would not be doing his job to the owners if not. 

    I know I have been interviewed before and then told we like you but just want you in to meet the MD etc.

    Lee Johnson got sacked after they got thrashed. 
    Fair enough you would think but if they had won that game Sunderland would've been Top of the League.
    Which tells you there were issues other than results on the field.

    Wasn't Jones the one to say JOE PIGGOTT was the best natural finisher he'd ever worked with? 🤔

    To put that comment in context:
    I was at the game at Sparrows Lane when Nathan Jones was head coach of the U21's and we thrashed Huddersfield; Joe Piggott scored 5 goals and nearly 6 but it hit a Charlton player on the way to the net.

    I doubt Nathan Jones would say Joe now but he hadn't worked at Luton, Stoke and Southampton back then.

    It's always context.

    Agreed, it's Scott who will actually make the decision. CM will effectively rubber stamp it and recommend Scott's person to the owners. 

    There would be no point having Scott there (on a decent salary no doubt) to make these key football decisions if you don't let him make the decisions.

    That's why a cursory look at a manager's win percentage record doesn't tell the whole story and why seemingly unsuccessful managers who've been sacked "following a poor set of results" often go on to get appointed to manage elsewhere.

    If Scott's making the playing staff decisions as to transfer targets, I don't know why he doesn't want to manage them himself. He's got 317 games worth of experience managing to fall back on so you'd think he might be tempted. Apparently not though.

    He probably was, wasn't it his first coaching role working with the U-21s. I'm sure he wouldn't say that now.

    Jones will be holding out for a Champo team I'm sure. Used to think he was a great manager until he went to Southampton.

    If we appoint him he'll stiffen up the defence, help midfielders penetrate the opposition and stop our attackers looking impotent.

    You have no idea if that's true yet we've been told Powell had to meet CM if he was interested in the job

    Apparently the owners don't worry about our league position but do the manager

    It is a clear sign CM is running the show

    Agree, my first thought was the same, but on consideration, I doubt many managers get appointed without some discussions with the owner, and Methven has clearly said he’s the representative for ownership.

    One person says something and immediately it's a fact.

    Is that just a Charlton thing or true of every club.

    I agree, I think that's how it should work but I have a sneaky feeling that CM's PR background means he can't help throwing in old managers names into the mix. To try and placate the anger with the fans at this seasons calamitous start.

    Nice one Clive . He is still only 70. 

    Remember watching him that season in the FA Cup at Eastleigh.

    If Bows doesn't want to come back (who'd blame him) then either Warburton or Richardson for me. Please not Appleton.....couldn't put up with that pic of him every 5 mins 😠.

    according to SG who i spoke with last week and is obviously close with Bow, he does and is interested, but they have not made any contact.

    He could always make contact with them if he’s that interested (personally hope he doesn’t)

    Why would Bow or his agent not just get in contact then and let it be known instead of waiting around if he wanted to that much

    I don't want Richardson, I mean wtf is his first name? Liam spelt funny or is he named after a flash of light?

    Or is it the Gaelic spelling or something?
