Well wish the guy the best of luck, but by god he is going to need a lot more than luck to get us out of this terrible situation. The main criteria for me is will he be given any financial resources to rebuild the team, in January, and if he is still here in the summer?. I appreciate we are not going to get a seasoned manager, I mean who in there right mind want to come to this club at the moment?
Frankly, unless significant investment is put into the team, and several players moved on I fear not only for our status in this league, let alone getting back to the Championship. With the current owner, and lease arrangement with RD the investment will need to be very significant, let alone the rebuild of this team.
I am afraid I have lost all confidence in the current owner, who promised a golden future, and I can only assume is looking for a way out.? ...... if he had any sense. Clearly his vision and football management as well as choice of managers has been at best underwhelming.
It has often been difficult to be a CAFC supporter in my 60 odd years as man and boy, we can but hope that things change, not with false messiahs, billionaire owners, and unrealistic pipe dreams that have been promised over the past years.
In amongst all this nonsense I’d quite like to see a proper structure in place (CEO/DOF/CFO) and then Garner re-instated and given a fair shot - I.e funds to work with! At times I think we showed promise but working through such a toxic and unsettled environment with complete lark of experience above must have been so frustrating!
It took Duchatalet less than a year to start making desperate managerial appointments. It's taken Sangaard two years, so I guess that constitutes an improvement.
Looks like a man who ran out of ideas and he was sacked only a few days later. His run at the end at Bristol City was obviously unacceptable but taken in the context of an entire season, he left them 13th in the table after 30 games played. More than solid.
They sacked him and replaced him with Nigel Pearson, a bloke who was definitely going to rebuild and get them promoted…
Almost two years later and right now they are sitting in 18th after finishing 19th (falling from 13th) and 17th the last two seasons. Maybe Holden wasn’t the problem after all?
Seems like he did an ok job at the level above, in my opinion. They did go on a really poor run and no manager survives those in modern football but hopefully he’ll have learned from it.
Taking my Charlton goggles off, I’d say it’s a good appointment for a team sitting in the bottom half of League One.

A new manager, whoever that may be, is largely immaterial when the club is set up to fail from within.
It’s like constantly changing the tyres on a car with no engine and wondering why it won’t start.

Agreed but that’s a separate argument. Only here to defend Holden’s credentials, not the club as a whole, which is a shambles.

Everyone said the same about Garner. Irrelevant how good a coach he is with this squad. It needs investment and rebuilding. Any coach or manager needs Sandgaard to spend money and be left alone.

The only thing that is certain is that if we stayed on our current path it really wouldn’t matter who the manager is or was.
