I just hope we stay up. Jones sounds a strange character based on the interviews I've heard.
I'm quite amazed at the mess we're in.
We will stay up no question we are not in a mess now we finally have good owners but their trying to work their way through the mess of the last 18 years … that’s not going to be sorted in 6 months

Well we sorted the announcing of the managers contract to take place yesterday whilst being told it couldn’t happen because the LMA couldn’t rubber stamp it because they don’t work weekends.
Completely ignoring his Southampton time. They failed to win their last six games at the end of the 21/22 season under Hasenhuttl. Jones came in during the November after he was sacked after winning twice in nine games. They were easily the worst team in the league regardless of manager.
Jones actually went unbeaten in his first three league games there.They won two league games in sixteen after he left.
Was going to say that when they got rid of him, the guy who came in after him (Ruben Selles) did even worse, an 11% win rate. So this pretty much shows it wasn't on the manager, their team was just abysmal.
Sheffield United this season are another example. Chris Wilder slightly improved Sheffield United when he took over, but they've reverted to being well beaten
But Sheffield United are proper proper shit, and are going down regardless. We're not proper proper shit, we're just meh, but that should be mid table league 1, not shit ya pants stuff that happening now
The table does not lie.
It doesn't, but the comparison with Sheffield United is just nonsense, we haven't been done 8 and 5 at home this season, and look completely useless

On paper, on reputation, he is the best manger we've recruited in a long time.
Need I remind everyone of the absolute shite we've had at our club in recent history. The RD years, the loose cannon approach of TS... The list is long. Yes there are exceptions with LB, and JJ, who wasn't given a fair crack at the whip, but was also extremely inexperienced, however to entice NJ here now, with the club where it's at, regardless of his so called failure at the clubs that were also a feckin basket case at that time, is a major result.
We need a reset. We need to start again. I believe he can do this with us, we have to believe he can do this for us, because we've run out of options now, we are potentially looking at the 4th tier of the football pyramid if we're not careful.
We've no choice but to get behind Jones and help him, with the unique passionate resolve that Charlton supporters posses, to make a real go of this.
We have had two Welsh Captains: Mark Aizlewood and Don WELSH 😀
Don't forget Leighton Phillips.
1969-1971 Graham Moore played for Cafc. The Welsh international surely captained the side ? Could be quite a few 🤔
I mentioned Moore just below your previous post, Moore defo was the captain of quite a useful team, and he came to us in 1967, left in '71
Yep, was manager Eddie Firmani's team skipper, used to cajole and drive the team on.
I can remember him often lifting a player, crying out: "C'mon!, C'mon!" Proper old school skipper, who led by example.
Strong but cultured midfielder -could tackle, pass with flair plus arrive late on the edge of the box with his trademark piledriver to ripple the back of the net.

I compared Nathan Jones' SOUTHAMPTON team to Sheffield United

Taking the club an absolute age to get the first interview out. Would've thought that would've been dropped this morning.
A couple of interviews he did for Southampton and Stoke were car crashes...so maybe that why they have decided he isn't the best at media interviews and have stuck with a still shot...
"A manager I know who would have been a perfect fit for Charlton was telling me he turned the job down when Appleton got it because the whole ownership structure was complicated. He felt there were too many voices above and that put him off."
Comments
Glad you admit it, at last.
of manager would motivate you?
a slightly eccentric character like jones who has had relative success and a reasonable track record
or
a dull character with little personality with a below average track record like Appleton?
I think this will be a good appointment

Could we do with a player like him now!
