Sorry, I've just posted this on the Mark Marshall thread, but was so over excited that I thought I'd post it here too, as it has relevance I think?
'Just a thought, (and apologies if someone else has mentioned this already):
Marshall is still under contract, so unless we have already selected a new manager (and I include LB in this), no-one is going to tell him he can go are they? It would require a manager's approval.
Ergo, we have a new manager, probably LB, as LB dropped Marshall for the playoffs.'
Think you're reading a bit too much into it. In the absence of a permanent manager, Murray will have asked Bowyer and Jacko for their opinions on who to let go and who to keep. Marshall will have signed as senior pro on decent money (especially if Katrien "negotiated" the deal) but he hasn't really become a senior figure in the squad, so I think between Bowyer, Jackson and Murray they probably decided that the wages could be spent better elsewhere, either by Bowyer or another manager.
Obviously there's a chance that we'll get a new manager who wanted to build his entire team around Mark Marshall and is furious that he was allowed to leave, but that seems unlikely to me.

RD still owns Charlton. At what point during his ownership has anything ever required a manager's approval?

He's not involved in anything day to day. Just the selling of the club, and even that he's leaving to his minions.
Club has just tweeted that season ticket sales are suspended until new ticketing system goes live on 11th June.
A week long cutover? Well, I've never been on an IT project that would allow a revenue-generating system to be offline for a week during the peak sales period, so here's my only contribution to the hyperbole...
It's 100% definitely this week and I utterly reject your collective WIOTOS'!! *insert relevant gif*!

My question is about the manager though. Under RD, no player sale or release has required the manager's approval. So, even if LB is still de facto the manager (anyone know?) Marshall's release wouldn't be held up awaiting his ok.

But he hasn't been released; just told he can go if anyone else wants him.

When they will go back on sale at the discounted rate again.....
Either that or the ticket office are only capable of processing 5 at a time.

Possibly, but I feel the club may already been have sold, or it may be known that it's days away, with an announcement round the corner. I'm not sure they'd come to a decision like like that unless they feel fairly sure that Bowyer is staying, or unless they knew the next manager, if not Bowyer, also didn't fancy him. It just seems a bit final, when a new manager might be coming in a few days time.
It would make you look a bit silly sticking him on the transfer list (pissing off the player for one thing) and then taking him off it the next, unless you're sure about what you're doing. You don't need to think he's a player to build a team around to want to keep him - the fact that he's a pretty good squad player would do for me, especially when you're trying to build a squad pretty damn quickly for the forthcoming season.
They were arranging interviews with potential managers from around 18th May, so that process may possibly have been concluded already. I'm sure these things won't be announced until Muir is there to make the announcement in person.
He's flying back on weekend of the 9th. Don't know which day, so don't know when he'll be landing, but the announcement (let's hope there is one!), could happen within hours, if that's what Muir wants. It could even be the 11th!

Things seem to be happening in the background, re Bauer, Marshall and possibly Konsa moving on. It must be close to being done. Also Muir pictured in scarf etc.

I am 100%convinced that the takeover will happen this month. As for the actual day ?
Wasn't Marshall Bradford's player of the season the previous year when Bradford got to the play off final? It is quite possible he would be in a new manager's plans and strange that this decision would be made without any consultation. Unless there is something we don't know!

Could be that Marshall doesn’t fancy hanging around to see whether he’ll be in the new manager’s plans, and has asked the club to let him go if an offer comes in.

Has he already had his scarf above the head “it’s done” picture then? Or are you referring to the shrews game?
I am convinced it will be on or before next Friday, the 15th
The Aussies thought that it would happen by the 25th May, so before Muir’s weekend flight back to Oz (for the two week ‘break’). I did say at the time that something would probably crop up to stop that happening only because of Sod’s law. Once it became known that he was away for two weeks it always looked very likely that we wouldn’t hear anything definitive before his return. If he’s on a scheduled flight it’s possible he’ll arrive as a regular passenger, although he can clearly afford a VIP discreet arrival if he wants one. If a press conference isn’t announced fairly soon after his arrival, then even my boundless optimism may wane.

That’s possible. Apparently he was seen looking pretty angry when left out of the playoffs.
