According to Airmanbrown

Hearing that the Ujpest boss didn't turn #cafc job down - looks like weight of opposition internal & external may have led to RD backing off

Lee Carsley was an impressive interim at Brentford.

Don't know if Airman's tweet has been posted yet:

Source telling me #cafc U-turn on manager has triggered preliminary discussions with British boss (identity unconfirmed).

The club is so toxic at the moment the only British bloke (who must know he was not even first choice) I can see wanting to take this is Mckay.

And fuck right off if that happens.

Agreed mate, I just tweeted something similar. Someone who works in the game said that the word on Charlton is don't touch it with a barge pole so gawd knows what we will get.

What we do know is two people already connected to the ownership have now turned it down in recent days.

All we will attract are the desperate and the unemployable. Or someone without the internet orTV who doesn't read newspapers

RD is incapable of appointing a decent head coach/manager regardless of where they come from. Until RD sells up we will continue our descent down the football pyramid. Putting this Wim geezer in charge sums it up, I will be surprised if we win any more games this season.

They'll probably appoint Marcus Bent...

They say they have only just started looking?

They need to read the papers at least to either confirm or deny rumours.

If neb comes in now after saying that...

I didn't even know Wim de Corte was at the club

According to http://www.coachworldranking.com/ Wim de Corte's record in his last 5 games in Belgium is goal(s) for 1 against 17.
5 strikers it is for Saturday then!

"A search for a new Head Coach has commenced.​"

Only just now?

To be fair Katrien has been busy on the Millenium Bug project - hopefully its impact on The CAFC ticketing system at midnight on 31sr December 1999 should be fairly minimal

McKay was at that game before wasn't he?
Is there any race he didn't snide about at Cardiff?

Belgians.

At least Wim has managed (albeit briefly) in Belgium's 2nd division, which is better than the previous twat

Is that what De Corte looks like??

I am facking elated. I've never felt more hopeless as a Charlton fan than when Karel was in charge. So I would like to give some thanks.

Thank you Karel. Thank you for being so, so very incompetent at your job that the people who would have sooner burned the club to the ground than sack you, actually had to sack you. Thank you for binning off a 2-0 lead against Brighton. Thank you for binning off a 2-0 lead at home against Bolton. Thank you for the Colchester capitulation. Thank you for the Huddersfield shellacking. Thank you for making poor old Stephen Henderson cry. Thank you for being so bad even you were surprised at how bad you were.

The ultimate puppet has gone folks. All of Roland's plans and machinations came down to the puppet of all puppets running the show and now we've cut the strings. Sure, he'll probably still be hovering around, signing us a Macedonian u19 left back to replace Gudmundsson but at least he'll be out of the technical area, and at least we'll always be able to point to the moment where even the absentee landlord had to pull the trigger on him. He'll forever be in the record books as a Charlton failure. I feel great.

Until the next insane appointment comes in and the circus starts up again of course, but for now, party.
