There is no room for "Giving him a chance" "Repaying his loyalty" unfortunately if a player is not good enough and we can afford to replace, then replace.
*Welcome To Wrexham cover Mullins and Ollie Palmer being dropped and other players coming in. An interesting watch and coverage of the human side of being a pro.0 -

Oggy Red said:Braziliance said:MarcusH26 said:Comparing the current ownership to anything Matt Southall promised is absolutely wild. The current owners have put their money where their mouths are to appoint NJ, Will Abbot, Dane Murphy as high calibre appointments. Hardly think NJ is signing that big new contract if he's been told by the owners that he's shopping in Poundland for freebies, I doubt we'll have a top half budget and smash our transfer record but there will be a good budget there and then it's down to Chapple and NJ to get to work and do the hard sell to players on why sign for us.
Not concerned at all this early in the window , the whole championship seems on a go slow signing wise. Probably not helped by the U21 Euros, CWC going on.
I will never forget how much respect Katrien had on here and Southall, I always thought they were worms. Not having a pop at anyone who did like those two, but I knew something was off immediately. Sometimes you believe what you want to believe.
Lee Bowyer was a no nonsense credible character, just like Jones, yet he still believed what wasn't true.
I am not saying they're con men like Southall, far from it, I just don't and have never believed we will get the financial backing we might need. They have even said themselves we are a year ahead of where they expected us to be. How can a club who are a Championship side historically be above projections being in a League we historically belong in? Statements like that make me sceptical of the ambition. And the whole talk of being clever to avoid FFP utilising the academy which translates in my book to "don't expect us to spend much money".
It is very early doors and like I said, I would be delighted to be extremely wrong as I want to see Charlton do well more than my judgment be correct. I am just expecting a disappointing window.
There's a lot of us very jaded and bitten down by nearly 20 years of underachievement, the Roland years, the scammers and charlatans, even Rock-on Tommy 🎸
But that's our history, it's passed - and our future still has to be written.
No guarantees.... but you know, so far the current owners haven't really done much wrong, and slowly but professionally, are putting down the foundations for a solid future.
They are not going to want to undermine that by lack of investment in player recruitment. Expect appropriate budget and sensible signings.... But we' are new boys to the division and we're not sitting on Prem League parachute payments.
But as NJ would say, we're on a journey.
Let's have some faith that the Club are in good hands and see where it takes us?
We got promoted, I am happy, looking forward to the fixtures tomorrow, looking forward to a full championship season as last time it was hindered by covid and I was going through some life changes that stopped me going footie.
I am just expecting an underwhelming window in terms of transfers. I don't expect us to replicate what Pompey and Oxford did, let's hope my instinct is wrong.2 -

Given he retired from playing you can probably stop worrying about it4 -

I'm not seeing the point of being pessimistic at this stage, might as well enjoy the anticipation (while we can!).
But I do believe we're finally in much better hands than we've been for many years - they've appointed proper experienced football people, who've already planned and tasted some success.
Much of the angst of many on CL is based simply on they don't know what's happening behind the scenes.
But the management team know - and the rest of us, we'll all find out in due course.

It was Curbs who told NJ he regretted bringing too loyal after Wembley 98. Not sure SCP has ever said that?15

Exiled_Addick said:It'd didn't work out for Macca when promoted with Plymouth, but he's also now a better player now than he was when he first joined us. If we set aside Plymouth didn't fancy him as a Championship level defender, what about his performances last season indicate he isn't ready to make the step up in level?We still need to bring in a left sided centre back to compete with him though, which I’m sure we will do5

Jones signing a 5 year deal removed any slight doubts for me. He’s clearly very happy with what he’s going to have to work with2 -

Jones signing a 5 year deal removed any slight doubts for me. He’s clearly very happy with what he’s going to have to work with
I did also predict us to finish 4th (we did), I said we would win the play-offs if we made them because of Jones defensive playstyle being tailor made for the play-offs (we did).
I of course got some things wrong, like many others do/did. Like Nathan Jones getting the sack after Crawley (which felt like the general consensus at the time), I said play-offs seemed well out of reach after Crawley (that was the majority view) but despite all that, I still said we would win the play-offs if we were to somehow make it, that post can be found multiple times. I also thought Alfie May going was a mistake as did many others.
I even said it on a popular media page and that we could stay up with the right signings this coming season, mainly because of Jones.
My general outlook on Charlton is quite positive. Selective memory I would say there.3 -

The club are saying that they had a plan and in the plan we had budgeted to get promoted next season.0 -
My hunch is that this coming Friday will see a signing or two.

I don’t think we can underestimate the significance of the changes made back of house. New Executive Chairman, New Head of Recruitment, New CEO. Now I realise the new CEO isn’t necessarily relevant for last season but the departures of Methven and Scott have set the ground for real improvement. I believe and I think a lot of people think the same in that promotion was achieved a season early. The appointments made behind the scenes are I believe proof of intent. Not to splash the cash necessarily but to give the manager every possible chance of success. I’m cautiously optimistic that Nathan’s “journey” will be well worth buying a ticket for.13

Just that being in the championship will make it easier.Lloyd Jones has 4 for Luton.Sonny Carey has 48 for Blackpool
Greg Doherty has 80 for HullLuke Berry has 86 for Luton plus 17 in the Premier League
I’m not saying they’re world beaters, but Godden & Gillesphey are not the only 2 with championship experience7 -

It is necessary to spend millions to stay in the championship though, but i think we will actually do that now we are here
