    Last time I spoke to Jackson (sober) was May 2019 before Rochdale game he dropped off his signed match worn ‘back to The Valley ‘ anniversary shirt  round my house that he’d auctioned to raise dough when he was running the marathon .
    I said to him you’ll take over and be manager when Bowyer goes . He looked at me quizzically, well here we are sonny ! 
    So if the away support for the rest of the season is crap it’s your fault...
    Twas ever thus

    Some of you make it seem like a manager is controlling the players like you would in fifa. In my opinion a manager needs to be able motivate and put players in the right positions and they will do the rest. Its not rocket science although Bowyer made it seem like but i think in the end it was down to poor man management.

    The calibre of player will be then what determines where you end. Its why “top managers” like Klopp and Guardiola will never manage a team with average players like Aston Villa/ Southampton/ Palace ect.

    Is Jacko too "nice" to be a manager. Can't wait to see his team for tonight as man management is an art and I think we will soon learn whether he has the support of the players.

    Not sure which jacko you were watching when he was playing to think he's "too nice", i distinctly remember him grabbing and throwing callum harriott away from the referee when were losing against sheff utd in the fa cup quarters.

    Am sure Marshall's decision is nothing to do with the fact he spent four years (although never played for them) at Aston Villa.

    Also went on loan to Wolves (again never actually played)

    Would guess he's happily settled where he is.

    You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

    Glad he’s staying, but doesn’t stop him leaving in the near future once he and NA suss out if they work well together or not.
    IMO, he will learn more from NA than he ever would from LB regardless, sensible decision.

    My favourite ever person related to this football club. I was in my Charlton youth with Curbs and Powell is amazing but Jackson is above all them. Amazing moments with him on the pitch, the players running to him when we scored at Wembley, and his devotion to us. My man love is off the charts.

    I love him too for the same reasons. QPR at home was everything, besides the fact I love how he actually attacked the ball from set play deliveries, how he went properly mental when scoring some massive goals for us and always put in a shift and was our class player, our goal threat who was a fixture on the starting team sheet

    Evening game; Norwich away. We're struggling, JJ scores. Happy journey home. He brings such a lot to the Club.

    Interesting comments. TS suggesting JJ may be able to take the job on before Adkins’ is due to finish even. And Adkins suggesting JJ may join LB at a later date in Birmingham. Both seem odd to me.

    And to think, he arrived on an initial one month loan to cover at left back...

    If you’re Adkins and have never worked with JJ before, while you’d want him around in the short term while you got to know the players etc, in the medium term you’d only have him around if you liked him and thought he was worth his job,

    I think Sandgaard hoped when he bought the club that Bowyer would be the manager to push in and bring success on the pitch abs unite the club and fan base. Sadly not to be but having someone proper Charlton in the senior management , future manager, why not?

    Good news for Johnnie and us short term but I think it does signal that unless the Charlton managers post unexpectedly becomes available that at some point not too far into the future JJ will rightly get his chance as number one elsewhere. What a servant he’s been for us. Long May he remain. Bit like Jase really.

    According to this web site https://www.nigeladkins.com/ he has a UEFA A licence, which is one level below the Pro licence.  So, not good enough to manage in the Premier League. Come on Nigel, stop walking and get learning. Learning is brilliant.

    Edited to add:  he also needs to update his website to show he's working for Charlton.  Keeping your web site up to date is also brilliant.

    maybe that's the plan, Adkins guides us there but hands over to JJ in the summer of 2023...

    Adkins is highly educated, with a sport psychology diploma, a business and finance diploma, a UEFA Pro coaching badge, a diploma in ‘applied management in professional football’ from Warwick Business School, and an honours degree in physiotherapy.
