Anyone know anything about this chap?
He's come from Yeovil and turned down the chance to continue playing to come to us, apparently.

    A lot of Yeovil fans on twitter like him and hope him all the best, no clue other than that.

    Signs that work is still going on working on the foundations for the future. Good news.

    How do you think this will work? Enter the reserve league and only play U21s with this fella in charge?

    I'm guessing with a staff member specifically dedicated to the development side we can organise more fixtures, who knows, we might even put together an unofficial league?

    Is this the same Nathan Jones that used to play for Southend? That would explain a connection with CP.

    Sorry but I won't believe it until it is on the official site ;-)

    In all seriousness seems like a good move especially as he says we want players we can develop to actually play or us and he wants to make sure they are Todd professionals both on and off the pitch.

    Beat me to it : - )

    There was mention of a possible U21 league at the VIP Q + A back in March.

    From the report of that meeting

    "When asked about entering a Reserve League, It seems it is only the Premier League who have a full Reserve League now. Kavanagh indicated that there might be Under 21 league formed and that this would have a facility for three overage players ."

    When he was at Brighton, he was known for his tricks and being a proper character, was always doing stuff to get mentioned on Soccer AM etc.

    I think Jones was signed as Powell's replacement after CP had been sold to Derby.

    Jones says he knows CP well though.

    Maybe Nathan knows Ben Roberts from Yeovil, too?

    A very good but very underwhelming first signing.

    Never noticed until checking back just now, the word link in faint red.

    Missed it completely.

    It will take several years for this new youth set up to 'possibly' come up with some players good enough to make the first team.......it's always a gamble.
    So what are we supposed to do in the meantime?
    Do you honestly think CP is going to sit around twiddling his thumbs in the hope of some youth players making the grade......too ridiculous for words or were you being ironic Kap.......I don't have the benefit of the smiley feature, so maybe you are?

    with one eye on the worrying PV thread why has this yet to be confirmed by the Club, Cawley, twitter etc ?

    I'm hoping they're just waiting for him to come back on Monday to get a pic etc but the silence from the club on all fronts stinks at the moment.

    He has the job. Look at his twitter: http://twitter.com/cocowasp

    His header reads "Professional development coach at Charlton Athletic" and he just wrote "doubt it mate tho I'm buzzing with new job "

    Everyone needs to calm down a bit. the very fact that we're creating positions like this, have Paul Hart and have recently expanded the media team should tell you all you need to know.
