Double page spread in Friday's paper
In process of producing a staff handbook for players which will have all the rules and fine.
Will contain my fav poem The man in the Glass by Peter Dakle Wimbrow jnr
"If you haven't got the right charectrers and the right team spirit then I don't think you have got anything"
Big on fines for things upto £10k last season for an overweight player who had two warnings. Was a maths teacher so "I can add up those fines". Money might go on equipment or a trip to the races. £50 for taking cup of tea in treatment area too.
Says "we are improving the changing the dinning area and changing rooms to make them more desirable (Does this mean Training groung rebuild has stopped and its now a refurb?)
He's formation is 442 that can morph in 4411 or 433
Can't talk about Cardiff.
Bigged up Charlton mentions Brighton, Cardiff, Sheff Utd "Charlton's tradition and history shows them to be a much more dominant club.
Sure it will be online next week

No season tickets in our house but feel we have to give this guy a chance at the start of the season. Just don't want to he for Miere and spoil it
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Who judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think your a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
And get pats on your back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

Seriously, it's great to have someone who seems to be in charge of everything to do with the team, and who hopefully has the respect of his players
managershead coaches!!I fucking hate you KM and RD.
STAND FIRM!!!!
The other concern is we could end up selling 3/4/5 of our better players during pre-season or even later with little time to properly replace them. Players we could have signed on a free might have found other clubs. We've already paid fees for two players, how many more will they do that for?
It's good to see but it just shows the difference between someone experienced in English football (not necessarily even as a manager, as we saw with Powell) and cheap network/Belgian league appointments. So much time and money wasted trying to do things differently when they never had the quality of player or scouting set up they thought the network had.
To an extent it does and I think Russell is an inspired appointment.
So top matrks for for the refurb and renovation of the House of Charlton.
But the foundations are still rotten.
I like Slade though so let's see if it works.
I have been a supporter since 1962, and will continue going to the valley buying individual tickets.
In the meantime, in keeping with the thread, nice story SLP and keep up the good work Russell and good luck.
IF you are looking to go to most games and a season ticket works out cheaper, buy one.
I think the general opinion is not wanting to give money to the Belgians so the less the better.
I have been going since '76, seen us play at about 130 grounds and in 6 different countries.
I'll see you at Bury but not the following week.
