Of course it’s an excellent appointment, he’s also going to have Camara, Aneke and Taylor all coming back shortly, which improves his options, and the quality in the squad.

come in see who he likes and dislikes plan recruitment early get a good solid pre season and go strong next year
Powell inherited a number of players soon to be out of contract, which made it easier to build a whole new team, whereas we have a number of players under contract for next season at least, so Jones will have to work with the players Scott has already recruited.
We have a load out of contract plus the loanees to go back so if they all go we will lose:
Very happy with this appointment. Would have preferred Duff, would have accepted Rowatt but it’s a statement of intent getting Jones in. In turn he must have wanted certain assurances over player selection, budget for next season etc and must have got them otherwise I’m sure he wouldn’t have accepted.
Pleased they didn’t go for a short term appointment, like Warnock. Jones just needs to ensure he keeps us up and whilst doing so can assess the squad in terms of individual ability and individual character. He will find out a lot in a relegation battle. Then recruit properly over the summer, get rid of the deadwood, and hopefully next season will be a lot more successful.
Hopefully things will look a lot brighter after the next ten days. I’m not convinced by many of our new signings but I do believe we have players who are better than our league position suggests so Nathan just needs to pick the right team and get a half decent tune out of them.

March looks rough with the away games but if Nathan can't get us to beat 3 of the bottom 4 clubs then we deserve to get relegated.
My concern is more will he stay with us if he can't perform a miracle and we get relegated? Plus and more importantly will the main money men in the States decide to bail out as well?
Because we're Charlton this could be a distinct possibility.
I really hope it doesn't get to that situation but this season as many lifers have said has been coming for over 10 years at least.
If we get relegated I think he would be on his way (sacked) or pay off clause written in to contract.
Think this is going to be harder than he thinks,is he the right person for job? We will find out soon enough.
There is more in this team then they have been producing Just needs the right man in charge to give the right direction & just having him in charge will boost the confidence in the players no end
Well I like the idea as Manager once again.
Wonder what Andy Scott’s position is now.
As for the rest of the SMT you are earning money from Charlton , do your work or leave.
Nothing announced on Fleming or Jones' back room team.
We very rarely do. I know other teams announce the back room staff at the same time but not us.
reports saying jones wants to bring it hart and cohen (I think I've got the names right), interesting to see if Fleming stays, or jones only gets one of his team. Or maybe we will have a team of four
I imagine they have agreed to whatever he asked for more or less
Not enthused by this appointment as NJ has had two poor appointments more recently than Luton but pleased that the club have made a higher level appointment. I'm even less enthused by the actions of our SMT who by delaying the termination of Appleton have put us in danger of relegation that even the messiah that is Jones might not avoid.
However I will give him and his team my full support and hope that my unenthusiastic post is wrong.
Shows genuine ambition if nothing else, something of a "go big or go bust" appointment, certainly I'm hopeful of the former. We needed someone to come in whose going to tear the whole mess down and start building from scratch and on paper that's exactly what we've got.
Now let's see what happens on the pitch.
You’re ignoring of course that you can go big and go bust!
Not ignoring as such. Maybe a better analogy would be trying to aim for a manager with a higher ceiling than the regular L1 carousel of Appletons and Cowley bros etc.
He smashed up and set fire to a ping- pong table because he thought it was proving to be be devisive among his Luton squad. That's the man for us, no more vanilla, v-neck jumper wearing apologists for their own shortcomings. We will be 'living in interesting times' for sure, but I can't wait...

Nathan Jones’s priorities: 1. To avoid relegation to L2 2. To keep us in L1 this season 3. To prevent us from being relegated to L2 4. To keep us out of the bottom 4 in L1 5. Etc.
considering none of them are on the table then he passed already …
his main objective this season to get top half finish ..
Are you saying relegation isn't possible? Have you seen the league table?
If relegation is on so are the Play offs then , still enough points to play for .. but no relegation not an issue when you look at our performance yesterday and second half at Blackpool there’s a good team there .. hopefully Jones is the man to make it click I think he may be lucky with key players Camara and Aneke set to return as well
We are *checks notes* currently:
21 points off the play offs having played 2 games more than 6th placed Stevenage. 3 points off the relegation zone and could be 21st by Saturday night.

Welcome Nathan and all the best.
Is Leaburns contract to 2025?
May Derby be your Luton
Stoke and Southampton your Leeds and Brighton and we will be your Nottingham Forest
Yes, Miles is to 2025, and really needs extending
However I will give him and his team my full support and hope that my unenthusiastic post is wrong.
I mean, what you do in your own time is your own business of course, but I had you down as more of a boobs man.
