Really is annoying me now.

Is the Russell Slade song just a constant repeat of: He's got no hair, we dont care or is there more to it?

LargeAddick

I care, what has ne done that makes anyone think he can get us promoted?

Ross

This is brand new information.

5th thread on him perhaps?

Taken two clubs to the play-offs. Was a point from getting Orient in the L1 play-offs. Been L1 manager of the year twice.

Everyone wants KM and RD gone, but that isn't happening, at least not at the moment. Fans asked for an English manager, not a Head Coach, on a long term deal - and that's what we've got. Whether he is allowed to operate like a manager should be able to, we will have to see. But I can't see the point is moaning about EVERYTHING, all the time, even when we got what we asked for, just because it's not Mourinho. We're in L1 - Slade is a perfectly reasonable appointment, even if he's not the most exciting. Personally, I'm having a day off from moaning about CAFC.

for my part, promotion would be a right bonus given the state of the club and especially the playing staff .. a couple of seasons of stability and general progress would be OK for me

main factor as to whether he gets us promoted or not is whether we invest well in the squad or not, if we don't then we won't get anywhere near the top, if we do, then we have a decent chance imo.
obviously investing in the squad well relies on duchatelet and meire letting slade sign who he likes and not interfering.

Good luck Russell. If you think football is a mad world to be in, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Thank goodness they've seen sense and appointed someone before mid-June.

That way, his replacement can be in place before the season starts and we can start the search for his replacement's replacement before the end of August.

Then appoint Jose at Christmas to keep us up.

twiggyaddick

It is interesting they have called him a manager and not head coach....I hope Russell has insisted on a change in policy and after previous interests on Wilder failed here, they were desperate enough to agree this time


Probably wishful thinking though!

Not a lot. And, as far as Charlton are concerned, that song belongs to Stevie Gritt anyway.

Your faith is generous. I suspect it will go unrewarded. Did you not understand the message of the banner at the Burnley game?

There are two versions of that chant though, the Steve Gritt version and Bob Peeters version are to different tunes...

I stand corrected, can't remember the Bob Peeters version, slept through most of his reign though to be fair.

Agreed, day off of moaning CAFC. Not a terrible appointment.

Meire and Duchatelet are still an infection though.

Valiantphil

Great club, big history blah blah blah
Get the fans behind us blah blah
Back to where we should be blah spin blah.
Looking forward to working with head coach Johann Der Mann etc etc
New signing Otto Van Stranger is a player i've always admired etc etc etc


Roland is picking the team, buddy, so just do as you are told until you are sacked in about 6 months time.

I also agree. KM and RD have made some terrible decisions, but when they do something right, we should at least acknowledge it

As mentioned before, that this is seen as a decent/not bad appointment and that we are all happy not to have another foreign manager is a sign of how Duchatalet/Meire have screwed over Charlton. We are left to clutch at any straw on offer.

That stupid woman is probably delighted and thinks this has ended protests overnight. Let's see ...

Very wishful.

Slade is probably already looking forward to the nice pay off on his 3 year deal when he's sacked before christmas.

StigThundercock

But we do care about:
He's got no players
He's got no budget
He's got no autonomy

I suppose I could be wrong about one or two of those, maybe, perhaps...

He's definitely got no hair

Fans asked for all of this.......in league one.

That's right, fans wanted Charlton to only be normal after relegation.
