According to The Argus Ben Roberts has been given permission to talk to Brighton about becoming their new goalkeeping coach. Apparently we don't want Ben to leave. Will be interesting to see if he fancies jumping ship or not.
I guess Ben Roberts being a Lad from the North East wants to return home and join Brighton like Dale Stephens. Nathan Jones is still the 1st team coach there as well.
Surely B&HFC is a better career prospect for an ambitious football 'technician/coach' than CAFC .. bigger crowds, more modern stadium, ambitious owner .. one thing though .. the team was pretty awful last season

Yes but other than bigger crowds,modern stadium, ambitious owner, a berth for your boat, good schools for the kids, fresh sea air, water sports, great walks, why on earth would you want to go there ?
A bit concerning that Sue Parkes commented on this news on the Facebook page with "The heart is being ripped out of the Club"
She did soften it a bit with a follow up comment but she as much as anyone should have a feeling for the mood at the club. Bumpy ride etc.....
"as an avid supporter - it hurts me to see so many good people leaving the Club. All those with Charlton in their hearts are leaving for pastures new. I find it very sad."

All change...

Will be a loss and another bit of continuity and stability lost.
Hope he stays.
Still it's another plus on Roland's spreadsheet...
Have to ask, if he goes, what makes Brighton a more attractive option.

Brighton would have to offer me a big pay rise, for me to consider, travelling that distance, each day.
Alternatively, I'd have to move my family to the Brighton area.
If he's happy at Charlton, hopefully he may stay.
