Sorry for all the excellent comments, I have not read them all as there are about 200 every day and as yet nothing has happened. Can we have just one thread which says ........... ??????????? is our new manager, then I can read that and be interested
No problem. I will make sure I at least open one. You can pop off now. Stay cool 😎
When he was 11 Ben Chorley told me he was going to be a professional footballer. His focus was locked on, and he was right.
When he was 12 Paul Barron told us the same thing about being a goalkeeper He is still a coach and that remark was made in the 60's
Wow, that's a blast from the past! I knew Paul well, played for North Kent schools and Welling United with him. I can remember the game that our regular keeper didn't turn up, Paul went in goal and the rest is history!
What we actually do know: 10 June: English transfer window opens 16 June: Players return for pre season testing - OS 18-19 or 25-26 June: New manager, new players, current players and some young players go to training camp in Spain TS (Date depends on what TS means by "following weekend") TBC: Pre season games 30 July: League One season starts
What we can extrapolate from the above: New players and youth players need to be selected for training camp at the earliest by 17 June and latest by 25 June After the training camp we will have 4 or 5 weeks before our first L1 game.
What we can guess from the above: To recruit new players the recruiters need to know what the new manager wants and style of play To have effective recruitment the new manager needs to be in place 2 weeks before departing for Spain to access the squad Dependent on the departure date for Spain we need a new manager in place by 4th or 11th June TS arrives 1st June - maybe?
Conclusion: No need for panic or bedwetting before 4th June
When does the transfer window shut? How many L1 games will we have played by then? My money is on a lot of last minute recruitment- however undesirable.
Bit off topic, but in relation to us annually wanting a certain player/manager and when it doesn’t happen we all have a bit of a strop, I couldn’t help but notice Paul Cook.
I genuinely reckon the majority of Charlton fans on social media wanted him and when Ipswich got him it was a bit doom and gloom. I didn’t realise he was the manager of Chesterfield who have just lost in the play off semis to Solihull Moors. What a plummet that is.

@RonnieMoore has just picked up a copy of The Mercury in 1991 and we now know it’s Gritt & Curbishley joint managers

Well lady’s & Gentlemen I hope I am proved wrong, but I am getting the feeling we will end up with someone far worse the JJ was and more has been crap players on free transfers or loans. so far what has TS actually achieved apart from buy the Club? And he wants premier League football 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎
Let me guess you are a glass half empty sort of person.
No actually I own 5 companies and have supported CAFC since 1968. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Welp, that's my non-sequitur of the week.
None-Sequitur a noun is not the correct word but a sense of humour might help 🤣🤣🤣

what does owning companies have to do with your pessimism?
I am not pessimistic I am waiting for something positive to happen and my Glass is half full and I am full of optimism and that is why I own and still run 5 companies. now if you cannot understand that then god help you.🤣🤣
If TS has genuinely stopped transfers as he doesn't rate them and the manager doesn't get to say who/what we need, we are doubly fucked.
Nevermind.
Always next season.....
He has not … just more rubbish
Despite Thomas himself saying he has? Did you miss that on
Asked if there was a danger he was interfering too much in first-team affairs, Sandgaard said: ““I obviously did not interfere with team selections for the games We need someone with a different type of experience. I’m not suggesting I will take the manager’s role and be down on pitch-side every day with the lads. That’s not my place. There are people much better at that and more qualified. No, I’m not going to be the manager or head coach.”
Been at a funeral today, what have I missed? Did someone say Martin was actually Ro-lands son?
You have missed a belter of a day.
@RonnieMoore is a pilot, we are playing Swanley in a friendly,
Mr largo has been advised to move his toilet seat closer to his front door, somebody is annoyed that Andy Carroll ended up in bed with 2 woman and AFKA has been roaming the streets of London singing God save the Queen.
I almost forgot amongst all the excitement , it seems the news of Ben Chorley leaving Swindon only filtered through to Finland 2 days after the event.

Think that’s pretty clear … move on
That was talking about a completely different subject. Or was that in a special Colin Instagram post?
You really are a cockwomble. Take your own advice and move on.
I asked TS if he interferes too much, he was properly taken aback by the question. He said of course he doesn't, he let's the manager chose his own clothes at least, when he van be bothered to pick one.
So according to Ben Ransom we had conducted 2nd interviews a couple of weeks ago…hmmm definitely a process happening ____🐌
Is it normal to do more than 1 interview when hiring a football coach?
It's not like an office job where HR and junior managers do the first round of interviews to whittle the numbers down, before the senior managers do the 2nd or 3rd interview?

On appointing a new manager: ”The search is my top priority and I hope we’re able to make an announcement soon. I’ve spoken to a number of high quality candidates and I’m confident we’ll find the right person to help us avoid relegation from the Isthmian Premier Division.”

Why do you post all this stuff? What satisfaction do you get? Very sad.
Been at a funeral today, what have I missed? Did someone say Martin was actually Ro-lands son?

I almost forgot amongst all the excitement , it seems the news of Ben Chorley leaving Swindon only filtered through to Finland 2 days after the event.

Charlton, Barnsley and the team who finished 2nd in League Two the year before... Exeter.
It would just make it easier for those who may not know.
But a sense of humour injection might
Help you 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
