  • As I have a poor memory, what Managers with Championship experience are currently available?

    Steve Clarke, Nigel Pearson, Lee Clark, Chris Powell, Gary Monk, Gary Bowyer, Kit Symons, Uwe Rosler, Tim Sherwood, Paul Dickov

    Have all recently managed in the Championship or at lower PL teams. Many would be out of our league, but not all. Plus there will be L1 managers who'd jump at the chance of managing us.

    They're out of our league because we want cheap managers, because we don't learn. We're owned by a millionaire, but he thought Fraeye was the way forward. Message to you RD. If Carol Fray is the answer, it must have been a bloody silly question.

    Do you really think Jose wants his picture added to this?

    Not on twitter - what did it say?
  • Just perhaps we are not looking deep enough in the RD managers box. How about the ujpest connection second in the table I think, would also be cheap and can't speak English so wouldn't understand the abuse. Yep OK not even this lot could be that stupid could they?

    I'd love for them to offer it to Euell but him being one of us, tells them to poke it.

    The blokes proved with the u21 that's he's a talented coach, don't let them ruin your career before it's started Jason!

    If they had fucked off KF a month ago, we would have Spurs or Leicester at home in the 4th round.

    Pricks.

    we would've only fucked up the ticketing anyway.

    It might be that Riga won't return if Fraeye is to remain on the scene in some way.

    Do you think Riga would have a issue with KF?

    Genuinely asking for opinion..
    I have heard this.
    I now like him even more !!!

    Breaking News: Inability to run a football club leads to loss of revenue.

    Excellent point there ValleyGary; because it sums up how moronic this situation is.

    So as fans our contribution of 1/3rd revenue via ticket sales isn't important. Which implies food, drink and merchandise sales aren't important either.

    Money from a cup run, and the potential for increased revenue from potentially sell out crowds vs Premier League opposition doesn't matter either seemingly.

    What happened to running the club as a sustainable business and trying to turn a profit? Everything they do at the moment seems to be encouraging more financial losses.

    There's neither footballing logic nor business logic right now.

    The club are hoping this story dies away as it has all come from an autocorrect error. KM had texted Cawley to say that Reza might be returning to the Valley today as the Iranian star had chosen to remain in Colchester and sample the local delights following Saturday's match. Her phone changed it to Riga.

    Reza has spent the past three days on holiday in Southend and has missed the bus to Huddersfield. Fraeye has expressed his disappointment at the news as he will now need to play at least 2 midfielders.
  • Jose baby has got them over a barrel. After tomorrow night his bargaining power will have further increased. Keep em sweating Jose!

    People would have piled through the gates just to see Kane or Vardy against our majestical Naby Sarr.

    More importantly, who's in the laundry van?

    No need to shout. I am not deaf @Covered End. Be interested to hear your information / link on the resigning thing.

    Did Riga choose to leave Liege both times ?

    Perhaps Duchatelet advised Riga that his contract was not going to be renewed and gave Riga the opportunity to leave instead of being fired ?

    First thing I found was a vote by Metz fans about whether they wanted him to be sacked. 53% said no. I wonder what a survey would say if we were asked if we want KF to stay on...

    This (from what I can see) is the top tweet:

    W/ @FareedZakaria: @Kasparov63 ''If not for #NATO membership, Putin's tanks would be in Tallinn and Riga today..." https://t.co/ZXen1Pi9Dn

    Apologies, but your the umpteenth person on this thread to say that Duchatelet sacked Riga twice.

    First time Riga resigned and went to Qatar (presumably for the money).

    Second time he resigned, as a protest against the weak squad.

    It's the Delort thread all over again!

    What's Riga's dad saying?
  • Speaking to a non Charlton fan working at sky sports they have been tracking talks with ivan vukomanovic. But I can't find anything on sky sports news and would think a press outlet would publish something of the type as soon as they had it.

    Think this is a bit of a wind up.

    Was also first team coach for a while. Pretty sure he publicly slated RD when he got the sack.

    Could well be a wind up then , why would you employ someone you sacked? Sorry stupid question forgot we have these clueless tossers running Charlton
