    Just realised it’s not Dean Holdsworth, so that’s a bonus.
    Yeah considering I spent up until just before it was announced that we were getting Dean Holdsworth, I’m going to consider this a win
  • Funny he said "particularly for the short term", or words to that effect.

    Maybe it's until end of season?

    .....or maybe he meant that his job in the short term was to concentrate on turning it around
  • Does he play the guitar? If not then my absence from the Valley will continue. I only attend when TS plays us some tunez! (I jest of course)

    Roland laughing at me after the TS takeover was so justified now. He foresaw all this sitting collecting his rent laughing all the way to the bank. He did say he would have the last laugh. We should never have stopped the pressure on the old git.

    Breaks my heart.
  • until I hear news on the length of his contract then I believe he’s just in as caretaker manager until the new gang takeover BUT if we suddenly win our next six games then they may give him a shot but I’m sure TS has hired him short term.
  • Angry Northerner, didn't Smile once! Maybe he might get a tune out of our shit squad?

    Fucking hell. What else is there to say?


    Don't tell me.

    "Could do a job for us at this level"
  • thought he spoke pretty well, whatever the situation at the club - any new manager needs to be backed with a clean slate and I wish him all the best
    I agree.

    Anyone can talk the talk. The issue is can they walk the walk. To me both Adkins & Garner said a lot but ultimately it all fell apart on the pitch. 

    I want actions not words.

  • So, Sandgaard said there was an external candidate they spoke to about being caretaker manger, but contract negotiations didn't go well (or words to that effect). Holden says in his interview that "It's been bubbling away on the background for a while".

    Then there is no mention of how long his contract is.

    Seems pretty clear to me that he is our "external" caretaker manager and that this is a temporary thing to bridge us to the completion of a takeover. Someone, probably the prospective new owners, have decided that we can't be going into the Christmas fixtures with Harness in charge and more experienced and safer pair of hands needs to be in pace to try and stop the ship sinking any further, otherwise it could be complete submerged by the time the takeover is complete.
    I don't think even TS is stupid enough to put our 22 year old Goalkeeper in charge of running the team!
    Yep, it's got that bad I don't even know the name of our caretaker manager. I hangs my head in shame.
  • I guess Dean is the cheapest option possible.
    Though I do feels orly for him, as he has very chance of success with this squad.

    They all look good in these kinds of interviews, they all sound the same. I wouldn't place much value in them, it's a bit like the 'best bits' clips of incoming players, they all look world beaters in those.

    You say that, but Matt Southall looked far from good when he did one of these interviews!
  • Uninspired and not really sure I trust this lot. Time will tell.
  • edited December 2022
    Sounds like he is going to play more direct so that's Sandgaard's grand footballing vision out of the window.

    Could there be a word missing here?
  • Was a centre half in his playing days. Quite what he’ll make of Ryan Inniss and Sam Lavelle is anyone’s guess. If there is money to spend in January I hope those two are out the door sharpish.

    I don’t know much about our new manager 
    Neil Holden.
    and I have never heard of Andy Scott.
    but no doubt when they get no fucking support from our wanker of an owner TS and Idiot Gobshite son, they too will be sacked and we will be heading for league 2. 🤩👎👎👎👎
    Clearly.
          Clearly? I wish it was all clear but sadly 
          Clarity is not often on the Charlton agenda 
          🤣🤣🤣 maybe our latest manager is a 
          Future Hero ?
  •  Oh well no Warnock !!!

    It's a full time job just keeping up with the latest clowns in the circus! it's an easy mistake to make!

    Sorry for him. Though poorly could do as well as manager after manager is getting to me.

    Which is why we should at least afford him a modicum of time to start his job.
  • Anyway for the Benefit of any doubt 
    I genuinely wish DEAN Holden our new manager the very best of luck as it will not be easy working for our Failed Musician and Football expert TS.
  • He said all the right things, the right things being different from the "right things" being said in the summer.

    Cut out or at least reduce the defensive howlers, and we might start winning some games again
