Even accepting reasonable paranoia caused by previous bad management / ownership, there's a hard-core of about 5 to 10 people on here who will never stop questioning an aspect of the club for one reason or other. IF the new manager comes in and gets a tune out of this squad, setting us up for a decent run at promotion next season, reckon there'll still be some people finding someone or something to criticise, even if it is the colour of a pair of chinos or prejudice bs about their education.
I doubt they were willing to pay Darren Moore’s salary back then. Sounds like a different story now but Moore left Wednesday because he wanted paying what he was worth.
Has his worth plummeted having been sacked at Huddersfield and another manager who had success at one club and not the other and yet we all wanted him.
Maybe now, but not back then, which was the period I was talking about.

I think Jones has a higher ceiling and could build a philosophy akin to Luton which may have longer term success, however there is a chance it goes tits up this season if it takes too long to bed in his style and we could be looking at the drop in the worst case scenario.
Under rowett we would not go down but I think there is less chance of him getting us promoted next season but certainly not impossible.
Very difficult decision tbh and I’m not surprised the SMT are taking time to get it right.

Regardless who did you intend to refer to in your update?
So not directly employed by Charlton, he is part of GFP.
I would say it is a split on the U.K. board over Jones.
My query though was who do you understand to be the (UK) Board?
Im not being facetious I just don’t know who that set of people are in the context of deciding the manager.
Methven, Carter, Rodwell, Elliot, Scott and Lenagan (which is a person who doesn't seems to be out the spot light, but seems to have a bigger say than most)
Why so many clear digs at Lenagan?
Seems like someone has decided who is going to be the fall guy already.
"Where are you going afterwards Gareth?" "Oh nothing exciting, just a little chat with a club about a project. And you?" "Oh something similar. You know how it is, keeping yourself busy and all that."
1 hour later they both get off the Jubilee Line at London Bridge, and try to avoid being spotted by the other one...

And why did he leave Huddersfield?
I’m literally talking about August.
I think if we got as far as talking salary with Moore then he probably knows enough about our set up to stay well clear. Back in August I was in favour of Moore but I now prefer the two being spoken about as better options.

The most wearisome period in our history. Oh to be thinking solely about the game on Saturday, and whether a win would put us second or top.
can't really compare to being evicted from the Valley .. or back in the really 'bad old days' standing on the huge terrace amongst a 'crowd of around 3,000, you could almost count 'em
Curbs has said he wouldn't want it hasn't he? He has said he is not up to speed as he was with current players. He certainly can give the club a lot of advice and that advice should be listened to, but I can't see him being a manager anywhere now.

Really hope we appoint our new manager soon for my own sanity

You just can't go dissing a posters drivel like that...
It would be chaos on CL!
