  • Tracey and now Will leaving. What's going on?

    Terrible news.
    Didn't one of the first team coaches bugger off to the mackems the other day ?

    Just when you thought we were stable, all is well etc a few departures and we're back to wondering what's going on. Confusion and concern, hello old friends.
    Guilty as charged, the scars of the last 10 years still itch at times I'm afraid. 
  • Big shock. 

    His influence has probably made the biggest impact at the club and on the fitness go players since his arrival. Previously we seemed to have several ongoing problems with a number of players out with injuries. 

    10 years at Brighton before coming to Charlton and not quite 2 years with us. Surprisingly short stay?

    I hope it is a significant career move upwards for him and not a sign of new problems within the club. (with others leaving).

    Thanks for everything Dr Abbott, I feel you will be hard to replace.

    A PL team probably offered him 50% more money. Plus the chance to work with top players. That would be hard to resist.
    Didn't he have that at Brighton?

    Both Tracey Leaburn and Will Abbots departures were down to one man. You could call it professional differences . Don’t shoot me, I have this from somebody at the Club. 
    Don’t know why people post stuff like this.

    Either say the full story or nothing at all.
    Unless they have got it straight from the horses mouth then they know no more than the rest of us.

    You can’t just leave it there, at least give us the intials?
    G & G
    Wrong thread Clive!
  • Someone please ask about this tonight (even though we cannot expect a full and frank answer). I've already put in a different question, so I can't do it.

    But if he's gone to a Prem. club in a senior role we'll just have to take it on the chin. I'm just not sure it will be so easy to replace him, he is clearly very talented.
  • When the two contestants on Jimmy Tarbuck’s show the winner takes it all had two different answers, he would say looks like with have a different of opinion.

    Was head of Academy Sports Science or something so we gave him a promotion. Didn't work with their first team.

    I'll say it is Nathan Jones, should you be correct.
    Am I too far off the mark?


    I could imagine that someone in Will Abbott's role could come into conflict with a manager. I think that happens quite a lot.  But from what I know of Tracey's role, I can't see how her work would cause a big issue for NJ.
  • Big increase in fitness and availability of players once he joined, fingers crossed for no drop off going forward. Hopefully we learned a few things from him and replace him accordingly.

    They both thought Kone was a better deal

    Which man?

  • Maybe several fans can ask the question via whatsapp tonight?

    Would be great to get some clarification regarding the departures and if the club plan on properly replacing them. I think its a valid concern 
  • And here, for me, is the problem with people posting ambiguous rumours on social media. It leads to discussion and supposition around people who probably have nothing to do with it.

    It’s not fair on them, or anyone else who is involved.

    If you’re going to say something in a public forum I think it’s only fair you give all the detail, instead of causing unneeded debate and potentially dragging other people’s names through the mud. 
    Absolutely, give names, just add allegedly to the post.  Simple.
  • Who's Luton's Head of Performance?
    After 2 successive relegations, he probably got binned last season 
  • Gutted. Just as we bring in Costello as well.
    Artistic differences.
  • edited August 14
    I thought the extended interview he did with Charlotte did hint at some tension with the sports science department.
  • People move on to better jobs—it really is that simple. But try telling that to large parts of our fanbase, who will be currently auditioning for a group mental breakdown.

    ....."right time to take on the next challenge in my career"....

    Can't be much more challenging than trying to get Aneke match fit. What is he going to do next.....ski down Mt Everest 😆.

    NJ can be a bit of a rant & raver. Wouldn't put it past there being a few shouting matches between team managers & those directly around him.
