Well I would suggest it’s better than not being interested in results like our current owner. As for every new owner saying that. Perhaps. It’s why I said that we’ll have the answers to most of our questions by kick off. This squad minus Dasilva and Amos have zip chance of getting out of the league we are in. Investment and significant investment will be required. If we see Josh and Nicky plus KAG as three of our front line striking options then the question will have been answered. We need probably 8 - 10 players to get out of league one.eaststandmike said:

I would not read anything into it or get excited by it, stock statement.ShootersHillGuru said:A five year plan to achieve promotion to the PL is very ambitious and if that is indeed the intention of new owners we should all welcome that level of ambition and be excited by it.
It’s two promotions and will be very difficult. I would go further and say that unless that first promotion is achieved this coming season the plan already looks pretty much unacheivable although I agree not impossible.
For me I would expect serious investment in the squad this coming close season. Anything else will ring alarm bells as to the reality of that ambition. At some point to achieve the plan investment will need to be made so why not at the start of the journey.
By kick off I think we’ll have many of the answers if not all of them.

So yeah I would say that's 7 minimum, and that's without losing Konsa and Kashi2 -

Curbishley had been joint manager before Murray appointed him, but yes, he was new to management when he was appointed alongside Steve Gritt and that was more about finances and it turned out very well.Addickted said:
The thin edge of yours is that you've managed to conveniently forget to acknowledge Curbishley in your post and I'm still trying to find where I mention JJ or indeed spending £10m.Redrobo said:
SCP was a player coach from 2009. By the time we appointed him in 2011 he had worked as a coach for 3 different managers including Sven.Addickted said:Phew.
If only Murray had realised how inexperienced Curbishley was and what a car crash was going to happen.
Or the dynamic duo, when they appointed the inexperienced Powell.
Never mind, let's go out and get Pelligrini for £10m.
Now is exactly the right time to appoint a Manager who 'knows' Charlton Athletic Football Club and everything it stands for.
You cannot guarantee success with any manager. But I at least want one who understands how to go down fighting.
I can't think of three better individuals who understand what us getting the double over the spanners would mean.
Powell played at the highest league level and of course was an English international and PFA chairman for 5 years.
Powell also accepted the role of caretaker role at Leicester.
I would not call that inexperienced.
The thin ice of your argument collapsed when you suggest it is either JJ or spending £10 million.
If the only two candidates were JJ and Bows, it would be Bow for me. That said, I would hope they would be looking for the best person for the job that the budget allows. I’ll bet a whole shilling that it is not JJ.
Your thread stream before this was all about JJ and thinking he had been offered the interim managers job before Bows. Who the hell were you talking about then FFS? Pardew?
As for not mentioning £10m, have a read of your own post? “Never mind, let’s go out and spend £10m on Peligrini then”.

Here here... our current incumbent and his ever so popular CEO wanted us to be a player farm, salivate at the prospect of them being a useful player at our club and then in a few years say, "he was great with us, if only we'd kept him. Weird ? Huh ? Please let this change happen this week.... this is going on too friggin long #jolinShootersHillGuru said:

That would have been Something Special ...Fumbluff said:
Assuming she couldn’t get through to Mr Tumbles by phone as that would have been her first choice...AFKABartram said:
We all hear different things. I heard JJ was also open to it and felt that had Katrien still been here it would have been him chosen.roseandcrown said:I heard JJ turned it down as he felt it was not right offering it to him above LB when he was assistant manager. .
However, not sure of the relevance of any of this now tbh5 - Sponsored links:
