I have just spoken to my spirit guide Big Chief Yellow Tooth and he said "I dunno give a fuck"!3

I'd imagine many would have just taken a severance package. Would be unusual for managers to still get a monthly salary continued to be paid unless you're a network manager I guess, perhaps some sort of retainer.el-pietro said:How many managers are currently being paid by Charlton? By that I mean how many would still be here if not sacked. If they haven't taken on new jobs then they would still be being paid right?

I thought more the point the fact that they don't need to spend any money on a new name plate for his door..........just dig out Frayre's one from the bin and rub out a couple of letters from his first name.addix said:Probably just crossed out Slade's name on the old contract and scribbled 'Karl' in pencil so it can be reused again in another 6 months.

How many more of these gushing new-manager announcements will we have to endure until that wretched woman gets out of our club?10

I too hope he gets us promotion (doing "well" will not be good enough for RD). This is effectively RD's last chance though because the continual losses in L1 will quickly exceed any possible return of his "investment" in the Championship. Especially as from next season in L1 (and L2) he will have to pay for losses with real cash instead of loans.cafc-west said:Hope he does well. Good record in L1 and been a promotion winning manager. Will get my full support as all new managers do at least for the first 15-20 games. Nearly all of my friends, who support a wide range of teams, seem to think we've got a good manager there who they expected to go to a Championship side. For some people on here everything has to be negative but sometimes you need to try and see the positive. I really do not think RD will sell Charlton until he has a decent chance of getting a large percentage of his "investment" back - and he will only get that with us in the Championship as a minimum - so the sooner we get back up the better chance of an ownership change and Robinson probably is best placed to help achieve that.

Taking a salary, basically being on gardening leave, is how it's done (or at least used to be done) in Italy. I think the hope would be that the manager being paid would get a new job and thus the club wouldn't have to continue paying them.colthe3rd said:

Welcome Karl, i hope you get us promoted.16

Young manager who plays decent football and even has a promotion to his name. I always liked him while at MK, i'm suprised im in the minority judging by the reaction on here.8

The 36-year old arrives at The Valley on a two-and-a-half

Charlton Athletic aredelightedable to confirm the appointment of Karl Robinson as the club’snew Manager
Thehighly-ratedunemployed 36-year-old, who led Milton Keynes Dons to automatic promotion to the Sky Bet Championship 18 months ago, has signed a two-and-a-half-year micky mouse contract at The Valley. Robinson will takefull controlno real say of the club from Monday.
Robinson said: “I amhonourednot really to arsed to have been appointedManageranother in the long list of failures at Charlton and can’t wait to get thestartedboot in a month or two
“Joining such ahugeshrinking by the day club with alarge, passionatepissed off,angry fanbase is a reallyexcitinguninspiring proposition.
“I’ve inherited atalentedthreadbeare squad and I’ll be doing everythingI canRoland tells me to cement the clubback into the Championship as soon as possible.as the laughing stock of football the world over.
“I like my teams to play attractive football.and if we all pull together, I firmly believe we can start moving up the table and enjoy a successful season.” The regime like house music and sofa's ....Ying & yang.
Charlton CEO Katrien Meire said: “Following athoroughlaughable appointment process, Karlemergedsubmerged as theoutstandingonly standing candidate. He is avery talented, forward-thinking Manager and I’m delighted we have been able to bring him to Charltonnot Belgian,has a full head of hair and doesn't mind house music
“Our main focusis bringing Championship football back to The Valley at the earliest opportunity. Karl has vast experience of League One and, having won promotion just two seasons ago, we believe he has the necessary credentials and is best equipped to lead the club forwardcontinuing this process every few months.
“Throughout his time with MK Dons, Karl received tremendous acclaim throughout the game for the attractive football his teams played and his approach to developing young players.excitinganother appointment for us."
Prior to commencing his role with MK Dons in 2010, Robinson coached at Liverpool’s Academy before taking on a role with Blackburn Rovers’ first team.
During more than six years at Stadium MK, he led the team to successive fifth-place finishes, before securing second place and promotion to the Championship for the first time in the club’s history in 2014/15.
Earlier that season, Robinson masterminded arguably MK Dons’ most famous victory – a 4-0 League Cup rout of Manchester United.
Robinson will watch his new side train for the first time at the club's Sparrows Lane training ground today. Details of his first press conference as Manager will be announced in due course.47 -
Welcome to the club Karl.
Attacking football with a bunch of guys that will run through walls for you and promotion will be yours.3 - Sponsored links:

Well an unsurprising appointment but one that I'm happy with. He did a good job for MK Dons on a very tight budget and with mostly dire players. Definitely a better appointment than Slade IMO. Will be interesting to see how he works with the regime as he had the support of the MK Dons board for a very long time and they basically let him get on with it. I wish him luck and hope we now start to see what this squad is really capable of in this division.4

"He is a very talented, forward-thinking Manager..."
Not in keeping with our SMT then.
Wish him all the best and hope he gets us into at least the play-offs.2 -
I've always thought of him as arrogant & obnoxious. He'll fit in well!3

good luck Karl i hope you get our club promoted
but just remember its not you ...yet
its who you work for !0 -
Another Toy for RD to play with until he is fed up then he will be kicked out. Good Luck to Karl I just hope he can stand being told what to do by others!!!0
-
I wish him well throughout his unknown term with us. If he loses our most talented players in the next window to "balance the books" he will not see out the season.
He will soon find out the owner and his CEO know nothing about football and have little (if any) interest in it.1 -
First press conference will be interesting as I am sure he will have to field the usual questions about how much freedom he will have, and all that with the grinning moron next to him itching to put her foot in it.4
-
Best of luck to him.
The key point in the club statement and the reason he got the job
"his approach to developing young players"
Let the conveyor belt continue. We are lucky that we get to see future stars of the premiership before they are sold. Cheers KM0 -
Surely the best manager the Belgians have appointed. If they give him time then perhaps things really will have changed a little bit. Here's hoping.11

Seems a reasonable appointment and the best a mid-table league one club with a bad current reputation in the game is likely to make. I like his statement too, simple and effective. Praises the fans, nothing about KM. It is almost as though a PR company have written it rather than KM/RD this time.
Nothing to complain about here. All positive. Good luck to him and I hope he can lead us to promotion and back to the Championship. It would be a success for him and nice for us fans.6 -
If Robinson wears a shirt with No 7 on his back he will be an instant hit with the fans.2

I didn't read the "he will have full control of picking the team that Slade got" Full control on signings would be tooooooo muchmogodon said:How many more of these gushing new-manager announcements will we have to endure until that wretched woman gets out of our club?

why would a manager take less than the contract was worth when they don't know when they will next be employed and why would a club pay up the full 2 1/2 year contract straight away when the manager could get a job within months0 -
I don't like Karl. Over-rated, showed no class at all when Wolves winger Michal Zyro was hacked to pieces off the ball by his defender - didn't even get an apology.
We probably should have gone for his double - Darren Farley off the Coral ads.1
