    There are plenty of out of work managers who will be only too happy to take Robinson's job.

    No track record of success required just an ability to say "yes" - until you've had enough anyway.

    Talking of Charlie Wright

    The link to Charlton Life re Charlie and Matt Tees doesn't seem to work unfortunately.

    Not for me anyway.

    KR was at The Valley last night and will have seen several guys who will be in the first team squad next season.

    KR has some difficult decisions to make regarding who to keep and who to try to off load. Katie hasn't helped by having ordinary players (Tex) on long contracts and good players (Holmes) on shortish contracts. I just hope we play to a system because we were a shapeless mess for to many games last year.

    Maybe we should only sign players who play a good golf game to keep Swisdom happy!

    @LenGlover .. the second story about Matt Tees .. there's a growing body of opinion and 'evidence' that a career involving heading the ball can/does/might have a link to dementia in later life ..
    the Jeff Astle wiki page contains some interesting and disturbing points about this theory

    Still silence from the club and absolutely nothing on the 5 players he wanted in. I'm guessing he's off on holiday by now but would've expected some news.

    Having "learned from our mistakes" KR will be lucky to be trawling through the oddments and leftovers in the last week of August. Many, many players of a suitable level have moved around since the end of the season and Charlton's only first-team squad movements have been to release one knackered old shitbag and one perfectly competent leftback. I'm still of the view that no player worth considering should actually consider signing for Charlton while the belgian bastard holds sway. roly won't give KR any sort of budget, certainly nothing from any of these supposed add-ons from past sales, and the fucktards in Charlton's UK management team wouldn't recognise a good player or sensible contract in a million years. KR might as well talk swahili for all the notice roly or latrine will take. We might see plenty of familiar figures in Charlton red come August but there is absolutely fuck all chance it will be a promotion quality squad until sometime after roly fucks off.
    Do yourselves a favour and find something else to occupy your time til the Welling game in July.

    Another of those strange interviews with Robinson where he talks a lot but says very little.

    Or when he does it just begs another set of questions.

    Was he leaving, what rumours of him leaving was he rubbishing, what is happening with Igor and Cebellos

    I thought I was aggressive in my stance against the Belgian pricks.

    Well said sir!

    To be fair Tex is a very good player, but one on a silly contract for L1, and someone who doesn't want to be here. A motivated Tex would be amongst the best CBs in this division

    There was a link to a previous article (dated 19th May) where he says that both Vetokele & Cebellos will be coming back to assess them, talk to them & to see where they see themselves being. I take from that its more of a case of "please get your agent to move his arse & get out of here pronto so we can free up your wages on some other numpty"

    That's not strange, it's just bollocks. It has been suggested he is a poor manager. Maybe he is brilliant, it's just that his players haven't got a fucking clue what he is on about.

    I'm probably reading too much into it but did anyone else notice that Peter Varney updated his LinkedIn profile earlier today with a new position as CEO of the Sports Consultancy Conrad Belmont?

    The company profile is quite interesting...

    "An experienced team of sports professionals focused on the business of sport both domestically and internationally. Specialising in the acquisition and sale of football clubs, the management of clubs,naming rights,sponsorship and advertising agreements. Committed to delivering the highest level of client service and the best advice in financial and business strategies and disciplines "

    I don't think he was the CEO then though was he? More like Executive Director.

    On LinkedIn Varney is CEO of KEH (Ebbsfleet owners) but just a Director of Conrad Belmont - not CEO.

    He changed it then. It definitely said CEO of Conrad Belmont earlier in the day.
