bet they can't wait for this after some of the dross the team have served up over the past few weeks
These are people very skilled with talking in such situations. They know what to say / what not to say, and normally how to play an audience of supporters.
Not saying that as a negative per se, these type of evenings are normally good value, but it’s generally rare where I think fully open and honest answers are given.
My question would be "why does our club get fucked every time by so called genuine owners". This has been happening for too long and it's not fair on our supporters. We deserve better. I don't expect premiership football but integrity from owners.
My question: Andy, you've been at the club for several windows now and have, on balance, mostly brought in players who are miles off the pace. What's your favourite sandwich?
Can someone ask them what the optimum temperature for spot welding is please. They shouldn’t be keeping this sort of information from fans, it’s a disgrace.
Not sure I agree that making Kirk captain and playing him as a holding midfielder so Dobson can play centre back is a good idea but Scott and Appleton are both professionals.
Excellent night, about 70 there, @Covered End asked all the, sensible, questions people on here wanted asked and he got answers. CharltonTV, parking, loans, ambition, academy all asked about.
On the tweets above Scott said they "didn't want players who wanted to play for Charlton in league one" in the sense of not just that, they want players who aspire to play higher with us or someone else, not for example, to use @Covered End 's example Ben Watson
Lots of interesting stuff and insights into their thinking which I can't be bothered to post tonight
As ever, the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
Can someone ask Andy Scott a straightforward question - Are we going to be able to spend money on transfer fees ( not loans or frees) in the Jan window.
Answered yes. Owners want to move club forward at every opportunity. Aspiring to top 10 Championship in short/medium term & Premier League thereafter.
Unfortunately unable to make it. Would be interested to understand Scotts take on his involvement and insistance formation and style of play?
I don't believe Scott tells coaches the formation to play.
However he did say that they had recruited for a certain style/formation. Then Holden inexplicably decided to play a different formation this season, which clearly didn't appear to work. This helped his demise after he had also declined many offers of assistance as well.

" when the club was looking for a new manager what thought processes went into choosing a proven journeyman with no significant record of success? "

I didn't want to make it too personal so didn't follow it up.
However, I have heard from a number of seperate sources that he is going/gone and am confident that is correct.
However he did say that they had recruited for a certain style/formation.
Then Holden inexplicably decided to play a different formation this season, which clearly didn't appear to work.
This helped his demise after he had also declined many offers of assistance as well.
