What if, if has been reported by some on here, the budget was suddenly slashed in the Summer? It might be a reason why Thomas is finding it hard to sack Adkins. I mean, Adkins could say he was promised X and got Y instead etc.... I must stress, I don't know, but there has to be a reason it hasn't happened yet.
Think we spent plenty to be honest. I think it’s less an money issue and more a stability issue. He doesn’t want his first choice to be a dud so is perhaps giving Adkins more time.
Sandgaurd NEEDS to sack Roddy, Adkins and probably someone else. Get the clear out sorted now.
It will win the fans back. It will prove ambition. He can't just do nothing.
Give the job to Jackson. This season is now already lower/midtable at best.
We have to aim for a 2022/23 promotion.
Jackson is realistic. He is honest and down to earth. He's played in the premier League. He is motivated and has a long term historic connection with Charlton. He knows the club inside out.
He is not tactically inept
I totally disagree with the whole "give the job to Jackson" spiel. A few on here are pushing it. For me he's got to go with the rest of them. Let's not forget this guy is in charge of Defensive and Set Piece coaching. Both of which I reckon a few of the know it alls on here would actually go down to Sparrows lane and do a better job. Jackson is realistic but for me he's too 'nice' and is probably as much of the problem as Adkins.
I was fully supportive of Adkins until last night. I just thought he might turn it around. However, after that display we showed no character, were devoid of any ideas, lacklustre and in my opinion were taught a lesson in football by a team with one of the worst away records in the league. Just our luck that an academy 'reject' pops up with a man of the match performance and for me was the best player on the pitch. Fair play to the lad.
I think we need a new manager with his own ideas and his own backroom staff. In hindsight probably should of let Jackson go to Birmingham with Bowyer. That was a mistake on TS's part. I'm guessing he wanted to appease the 'Jackson is proper Charlton' mob.
Furthermore, I actually believed we had a good squad to challenge the play offs. However, Kirk looks bereft of confidence and any idea what to do when he is in possession of the football. I'll stop there I don't have the time or inclination to list the negatives about everyone in our team. The only bright spark for me has been CBT. The guy looks like he's the £500k signing not Kirk.
On paper yes we maybe have a mid table league 1 team. However, that's not been the reality. Coached by Adkins, Jackson, Euell and Bassey we look Mid Table League 2.
It would appear I was wrong on both fronts in regard to the Manager and the squad a case of ignoring reality on my part unfortunately. Chaps like c @golfaddick called it spot on. Awful Management, Awful Coaching and with bang average players that has equalled awful results.
From my perspective complete clear out, Jackson, Euell, Adkins everybody. New Manager, New Backroom Team and lets go from there.
There was a train running on SouthEastern? Jesus H Christ! How long had you been on it? Where was it supposed to be? Do you know where it's actually going?

It’s on time
Destination - Nigel Adkins Central, a desperate and joyless place, where the train drivers constantly crash trains into one another because Sir Topham Adkins doesn’t know how to operate the signals and points

No, he doesn't know where it's going.
But's he did get the number of the engine.
Not got the number yet, but I’m on a Class 465 Networker - that much I do know !!!

I can’t imagine a more thankless task than being the ‘CAFC Fan Advisor’, fair play to anyone who puts their hand up to do it.
Clearly an 'ego driven' role. Who would want to do it ?
A bit harsh. It could just be someone who feels they have the skill set to help improve fan engagement. Not a bad ambition after the previous ownerships imo.

Is that really necessary? Digs at fans who are doing advisory roles for the club they support and follow? all because you're pissed off about results at the moment?
I know some people are dead against it but the club seriously have to think about bringing Curbishley back into the fold in some capacity, we have nobody in the club with his footballing brains, nobody comes close.
It'll be the Charlton TV dream team: Curbs, Scottie and Stevie Brown.
I still remain amazed, those who still think this is done like Championship Manager, and that there aren't multiple moving parts to sort before an announcement

He's finding it hard to sack him because he's an egotistical prat who can't admit when he made a mistake.

Quote from Airman about female with TS, but no she'd be better off waiting in the kitchen!

Nothing to report I’m afraid
Today feels like it's got some of the vibes of the last day of the transfer window.
Sitting here checking Charlton Life every half an hour, to see if something has happened.

He's on £350,000 a year. Think his contract was 3 years?
Digs at fans who are doing advisory roles for the club they support and follow? all because you're pissed off about results at the moment?
Unconfirmed but I suspect we will know tonight.
There was a game yesterday so majority of the squad will likely have the day off today
Just need to hope that something gets announced by the end of the day
