The owner's been great with me - I have a great bunch of lads - injuries have taken a toll - we know what a derby win means to the fans - I hope to get a few in during the January window......
Non interview. "I hope I can do the fans proud" and he believes the "pyschological benefit of players spending Christmas day with the families sees them turn up on Boxing Day at 3pm ready to repay the belief shown in them." That was it.
This is the problem with modern football and the existence of social media....everything gets over analysed to death. Curbs and his predecessors probably came out with a load of waffle on the eve of a derby and most fans probably disregarded it if they even were aware of it.

This! What did people expect, the whole news to be devoted to us? It was only going to be a two minute slot which was only ever going to be a very brief analysis. Although not sure about the cut corners comment KR said the right things and hope he does make the fans as proud as they can be in the circumstances.

I completely get your point - and RodneyCharltonTrotta's - but it's just a waste of 4 minutes on the news isn't it really? We're a pretty niche team as far as London is concerned, so the coverage is always welcome... but it's just weird.
It's not like it's really anything about the club or anything important - i.e charity work etc. It's literally "here's 4 sentences off of Charlton manager". You can't even argue that it was about the SE London derby, because that fixture was only mentioned in passing very quickly.
All he's done is say what's expected of him: that he's happy here, and he hopes to do the fans well. Other than that there was a cryptic comment about other people cutting corners, and a sentence about giving the players Christmas day off.

"Previous people maybe used the problems to cut corners"
Did you make any sense of that? I didn't have a clue wtf he was trying to say to be honest.
IMO, It's the sort of cryptic bs that a work oppo might come out with after a few sherberts on the Christmas do when talking about the firm. Say it in your head, in a David Brent voice and picture David Brent doing a wink after he says it and you'll get what I mean.

KM is great need a winger in transfer window.
- A bit of a background on the issues at Charlton, protests and the desire for Roland to pack up.
Karl's Thoughts:
- On the initial vibe: it doesn't feel chaotic, "first reaction: it's brilliant"
- On the unrest: "certain people may have used the problems to cut corners, rather than focus on themselves"??
- On the fans: "I just hope I can do them proud."
- Players not training on Christmas day, psychological benefit of Christmas day surpasses that gained by training.
That was it! A bit shit to be honest, a complete non-feature. Bizarre?
Regarding cutting corners may have been talking about certain players

Could this comment refer to the underwhelming portion of chips?

Is that why our corners are so bad?
