Call me mad but I’d keep McGrandles as a squad player I agree. I think his Cambridge form has completely changed Holden's opinion on him, and ours too.. |

Blimey 3 very quick replies there
Whilst I was editing my initial post.
However, don't know enough about T .T.
to comment but things are certainly shaping up.
Let's go get some strikers.....

Strikers for sure redrobin, also thing we need some depth at full-back/wing-back. Asiimwe is doing himself no harm in the pre-season but it's risky to go into a season expecting an 18 year old to play 30 games (based on the amount Egbo missed last year).

I'm just getting a little bit impatient, on the goals FOR department. |

Very good news that Andy Scott is joining, as expected of course. However, I thought it might make sense to highlight the following paragraph in the announcement on the OS this morning,
“Scott will join Managing Director Jim Rodwell, Group Finance Director Ed Warrick and a soon to be appointed Director of Performance on Charlton’s new SMT. The trio will be joined on the Charlton Board of Directors, chaired by Rodwell, by two Non-Executive Directors in former Charlton player Paul Elliott and GFP investor Gavin Carter.”
It seems that in addition to Scott the club is planning another senior hire with a Director of Performance also joining the new SMT. The classical Director of Performance role covers sports science, medicine, nutrition and analytics. I’m a bit surprised this role appears not to be reporting into Scott because there is at least some overlap between how I’d understood his role and this. Nevertheless, this has to be seen as another positive development and further evidence of a determination to modernise and professionalise the management of the club.
While we can’t know how the new owners will perform in the medium term, it’s becoming ever more difficult to understand the negative noises. What’s the realistic alternative? There is simply no way to “create value” as the owner of Charlton Athletic if the plan is to cut costs (because future revenues will fall by more) or by asset stripping (because someone else owns the only valuable assets), but even if there was a viable “low cost strategy” the new owners would hardly have hired Rodwell, Warrick, Scott, AN Other member of senior management and Sutherland, all within days of taking ownership, if they weren’t serious about progressing the club.
It’s completely understandable that fans are focused on which players we’re signing, but as an early indicator of what’s in store it’s the action in the executive suite which is most encouraging. It’s no exaggeration to say that we appear to be in better shape than at any time since we failed to win promotion back to the Premier League in our first season following relegation.

Hopefully they can see first hand where we are with the team a good few short of what’s needed.

Ono? Yeah I think a lot of us felt that when Rovers scored their second. All these fucking hangers on need to pull their fingers out. I have zero faith in any of these people already. Already 6 points and 9 goals behind Bolton, but don't worry I'm sure someone will tell me I'm overreacting |

And as the current custodians should know we've had our fill of false promises and good game talking,actions are needed and sharpish. |

Is that David Pleat next to Paul Elliott ?
This seems like a horse owning syndicate. The ones that use to be advertised in the Sunday papers. You know invest in this so called great horse but what you don’t know it’s a bit of a donkey.
Incidentally Charlie, Marc, Paul Elliott, Mr Oko, Holden, Scott, etc.. I’ve paid a good £700+ on season tickets plus travel and food costs on the hope that you guys can turn it around. I wasn’t going to get a season tickets this season, if you fail miserably this season the saying ‘ones bitten’ comes to mind.

If the plan is to follow the Ipswich model then remember it took them 2 seasons and they started the first of those very badly.

I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no, no
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
