i think we can all congratulate ourselves on getting this deal over the line - i bet they were sat around the negotiating table at the end quoting directly fom here
Brilliant news. Loved that video. Looks like contract is for the rest of this season and next season, with performance related one-year extensions for the next two years beyond that. I like that structure.
Edit: I think my interpretation is correct. CAFC announcement says "The 39-year-old has signed a contract which will automatically renew at the end of each of the next two seasons based on success on the pitch for the Addicks.", ie it is not automatically renewing at the end of THIS season, so the initial contract must be for the rest of this season and next.
To be honest, my reaction was more of a "finally" than any big celebration, as it would have been totally bizarre after all this time for him not to get the job permanently, hence I've not been on this thread much
I'm more interested in the other positions, Jason's role, and what additional coaches will be brought in
Fantastic news for everyone concerned ! Jacko has more than earned the chance, onwards & upwards from here hopefully.
PS
If we lose tomorrow how many minutes past the final whistle will the Jackson Out thread start ?
I hope Jackson is just celebrating with people who are close to him this Friday eve.
If this appointment does eventually end up going to shit - which I highly doubt, then I think Charlton may just hold an internal curse that won't ever f*ck off
The delay in the official announcement was with the comms team trying to whittle down special Jacko moments to make a video short enough to put out on Twatter.
Anyway that's the manager sorted. What can we all bitch about next? 😉
Well we could start with why his back room staff have not been announced. One team could be pro Euell and the other team could go for needing Curbishley to lend the experience. The loan voice could go with Brownie because he knows what he is talking about. Still.

That's the problem. Things are going well now.
But, rumour has it TS' son gave someone a funny look the other day.
His ego is out of control

(Make that 5 mins...)
Two of my all time favourites now share the " Simply the Best " title.
What a fantastic pair ! ( I just had to say it ....)

League status, performance and success dictate how long it continues.
As you say, that's much how football works anyway.
