Mr Plum that sounds about right. Some good players as opposed to the whole squad. Worthy of a Tony Blair soundbite. Education, education, education for not only our Under 21's but the whole team of individuals who just don't play as a team over the 112 minutes of a match in 2023. They do need a bright, lucid thinker who can educate a plan, Strategy and give confidence to the players.
I want a manager/Head coach who can think on their feet and utilise the 16 players who may be needed to out wit the opposition head coach. Use the three sub windows wisely and FFS keep the last window and 5th player until the added time as keeping a player on when he is injured, Fraser, just makes the injury worse.
Mate at Sparrows Lane has just messaged me to say a new training schedule has gone up today courtesy of the Cowley's:
Monday - Football Tuesday - Cross Country Wednesday - Rounders
The Dowies want their training schedule back
The last or one of the last training sessions that Iain Dowie took had 30 seconds shown on ITV London news. Darren Bent was superb, he did a cover drive that went all the way to the boundary. Does anyone remember this ?
This 100%. But a good manager, with a bit of time, would be able to create a good team out of them. Our problem is we probably won’t get a good manager or give them time to do it
I think this appointment is much more about who is willing to do it than who the club wants.
Any manager that walked into the club today and said, today is the anniversary of that leaflet telling us we are moving to Selhurst Park, would be good enough for me.
What I can't understand is that people on here know someone, who is not a Charlton fan, and gives them information about incoming managers or players ... weird

Letters from the Mums of Michael Hector, Tayo Edun, Lucas Ness, Lloyd Jones, Deji Elerewe, Terry Taylor & Louie Watson:
"Please excuse (insert name here) from Country Dancing class today, as the poor lamb has two left feet, can't count to 8 and suffers extreme anxiety when asked to perform in front of others."
Charlie Kirk's mum emailed Sparrows Lane to say "don't expect Charlie to do much when he gets to work today cos he's been a bone idle waste of space since he was 11 and there's no changing him now, worst luck."
The squad isn't good enough The new owners got rid of their own man less than a month into the season We have some promising youngsters Defensively we are terrible We are out of two cup competitions Andy Scott has say over who you can and can't sign We appear to not have significant budget to overhaul a mid table league one squad
That's not attractive on paper
Correction the manager / Coach still has major say in recruitment working with Andy Scott …. And we do have sufficient funds but not wasting it on over priced league one and two players .. we will look again in Jan
Your constant defence of the new regime got me thinking as to whether you've ever had a bad word to say about anything to do with the club.
So i checked the thread when Karel Fraeye was appointed. Here's a comment from you under one of your previous usernames about him:
"People are saying about the players well they know him they spoke very highly of him and is training methods before so this not a problem"
My god.
Yes, he didn’t rate Powell as a manager for us.
Why not Ronnie? Had a much better record than many you’ve supported to the bitter end.

Just interested to hear your reasons.
His reasons......he is on the wind up and wants attention

Our job would have been a LOT more attractive if available in May, and the new manager had the chance to mould the squad and do a pre season with them.
Unless they are shit then they’ll have a chance next summer. Realistically if they get us up to 8th-10th they will get another go like Holden did
The concern is that IF the players brought in are duds and the new manager does not improve results he'll probably get the bullet by the end of this season. Ambition and money to spend? Do me a favour.
I think the player told the fella who I spoke to on the train after Crawley that they were told (good grief 😂) ‘announcement on Thursday, followed by training’. But it’s all a bit of a blur. Could have said Wednesday. Could have meant next week.
Sorry, that was a bit rubbish. [We’re used to that - ed]

Ronnie isn’t always positive. He started the Holden out thread on ITTV.
Plus don’t mention Peter Varney to him. He’s not a fan at all of staff back in our better days (Chris Powell included). Things are much better nowadays in his eyes.
I really hope it’s not Appleton. He won’t exactly bring the fans back and his record is poor. Would rather Cowley if had to pick between the two. He always comes across as a decent human being.

I don't think you can comment on how the situation was handled from that clip. Player was dropped, didn't like it.

If you don’t understand ask your dad.
