If Scott's decisions are no longer being sanctioned without scrutiny, he can't be surprised but must feel undermined
You're making an assumption that his decisions on managerial appointments haven't always been with scrutiny.
First team men's manager is a key role, possibly THE key role on the football side (Sorry Karen) so I would expect the rest of the UK directors to have an interest and sign off on who is chosen.
Whether that has changed or whether the US money men are now having an input we don't know.
After two failures Scott and the rest of the UK directors will most likely be under more scrutiny from the money men than before.
Or it could just be that Scott wants Jones and the others are saying "let's speak to Lee Johnson first and then we can decide".
Personally, I think in a well functioning leadership team it is should be good to discuss big decisions and get consensus.
Not that I'm sure we have a well functioning leadership team.
PS Putting Lee Johnson's name in the hat was just a joke....or was it?
Not a chance with Lee Johnson..
I'd go back and check with your source if I was you
I struggle to think of managers I dislike more than Lee Johnson, plus I think that would condemn us to league 2
If we throw a few more into the hat like Joey Barton, Iain Dowie, Alan Pardew etc then when we appoint Nathan Jones everyone will be mightily relieved and fully behind Jonesy.
Why can't they put £10 million on Richard Madeley at 25-1, appoint him and collect the £250 million winnings. Sack Madeley after one game, pay him off with a 'drink', buy the Valley and Sparrows Lane and have money to straighten the club out. Now that's what I would call gambling responsibly.
Apparently the Board saw your message, put £10m on Richard Madeley, then offered him the job and he turned it down.

This is your best and most sensible post ever. Brilliant.
Henry Irving hit the nail on the head for me - Nathan Jones was successful at Luton, but had the set up and Harford. NJ wasn't successful at Stoke or Southampton. Jury's out for me whether he would be successful at Charlton or not without the type of the support he got at Luton.
I am not sure who feeds REAMS and Dubai (assume same person giving info to them both) but find it very odd just how much leaks from this club constantly since this mob took over. It seems incredibly amateur and just causes upset most of the time.
It's a week since Apple's was sacked, we were massively unlikely to have appointed someone by now and no one would be too disappointed, but because of the leaks there is a risk people end up that way.
It's weird and it's unprofessional imo.
Not a dig at people passing info here and elsewhere but a dig at the source of such info.

You would hope in today’s progressive society that they could at least both cook for themselves.

Knew it was too good to be true that we would sign a half decent manager straight away and give ourselves half a chance of getting out of this shit. Jones will get pissed off with waiting for an answer and we will end up with someone like Appleton. Same old Charlton.

Agree with these. Why are they pissing around, leaking the whole thing posters on an internet forum? Just get it done asap. Amateur and weird to put it mildly. Just hope N Jones doesn’t get wind - he’d be within his rights to run a mile.

So he has been refereed to here as Technical Adviser: https://www.charltonafc.com/news/global-football-partners-purchase-charlton-athletic
And here as Sporting Diretor: https://www.charltonafc.com/staff
Regardless who did you intend to refer to in your update?
Update - Pol Pot now bookies favourite.
Unbelievable.
Im not being facetious I just don’t know who that set of people are in the context of deciding the manager.
Jones - Evens
Rowett - 2/1
I know you can't rely on betting odds, but I'd be very happy if it's either of them!
Scroll down the odds checker page I put up earlier. Someone's got their Johnson's round their neck!
Brilliant.
I think hate is a bit of a strong word. There are people with other favourites, but I dont see a lot of 'hating' someone or another.
I actually dont mind the thought of Rowett.... dont think it will happen, but I think he could be ok (Dowie repeat fear aside).
