Cawley isn’t wrong, Jones is due there this afternoon.
Everyone saying the board have messed this up need to calm down. They are literally meeting Jones today and the plan has always been to meet Today.

Where has Cawley said this?

Updated. Either way he will be there this afternoon.

Spot on … the club have not said anything about when an appointment will be made all they said is that their going full steam ahead he getting a few more deals done … it’s social media franzy as always… said before Chinese whispers

The board are going about their business like they should do after all their the ones putting the money in , investing in players and keeping the club going …personally rather have Duff

I can't see where it has been hinted Jones will be there this afternoon. Can you point me in the right direction?

Gary Rowatt was in yesterday, not heard that Jones is in this afternoon. I think that might just be coincidence that he's in London but I can't confirm.

As I've been saying all week, interviews were due to conclude yesterday with an announcement today or tomorrow so that whoever comes in is involved in the last day of the window. I still believe that is the case but have continued to push on with our 'players of interest' list drawn up by the board which was always going to be immaterial to Appleton going or not and a new man coming in.

[valleyred1]

Thanks for the update Reams

I feel so much better hearing this from you rather than the cleaning boy.

Look at the new betting prices on Bet Victor tells the story Gary or Nathan look way off now coming to us.

Neil back at 2/1

Would much prefer Rowatt thanJones. I don’t think Rowatt has done what is considered bad at any of his clubs he has managed. Yes he got sacked at Birmingham but thought that was a ludicrous decision IMO.

People will say no because of his Millwall connections but think with an opinion like that is a load of bollocks IMO. He played with us for starters and Curbishley was picked ahead of Gritt when fans cried out for Gritt and the rest is history.

[cafcph]

I’d take either Rowett or Jones tbh, with Rowett my slight Favourite

Are you confusing him with Eustace who was sacked at Birmingham?

[charltonborn]

I suspect nothing until next week, (after Derby) to see how the players react to Flemings coaching. New man will be a COACH not a MANAGER.

[watameires]

What odds do I get for predicting the cleaner boy as our next manager?

[addickteduk]

Betting order still has:

Jones
Rowett
Warburton
Duff
Warnock
Pearson
Eustace

At this point, except Warnock, I'd take any of them!

What are you on about? Neil who?

Nathan Jones and Gary Rowett are still odds on favourites. Gary has closed the gap if anything but no one else has really got closer.

Yeah sorry was looking at the wrong team odds 🙈🙈😄😄

[millwallfan]

I come on here in peace and with a warning.

You do not want Gary Rowett as your manager.

His football is dull, defensive and shocking to watch. The amount of money our late chairman (and now his son) gave him in the last few transfer windows was spunked up the wall buying or loaning in crocked footballers who were usually in the last chance saloon of their career.

Look back at his previous managerial career and listen to any fans of the clubs he managed. Derby and particularly Stoke fans don’t have a good word to say about him. When Rowett was at Stoke he spent more than £50 million pounds on players to no avail, putting them in serious financial trouble which they are just now getting out of. It was only at Birmingham that Rowett had some success, and even now the Birmingham fans, whilst not having the vitriol towards him as Derby and Stoke fans do, didn’t really rate him.

At Millwall he would buy players and play them out of position. His substitutes were often brought on far to late to have any impact (and only then when we had gone behind) and these subs were generally like for like, replacing a better player with someone of lesser ability. If this all sounds familiar to you with the previous managers you’ve had, doing the same thing, then having Gary Rowett as your manager is not going to be an upgrade for you in the future.

Be careful what you wish for.

Rowett carried millwall and got them punching a lot higher than where they should be as a squad. Too many millwall fans were living in dreamland thinking the club should be in and around the play offs, you had been overachieving with him for the past few seasons. The reality is millwall are currently where they deserve to be as a club, mid to bottom end of the champ and nothing more, rowett was a good manager for you

Hi Millwall fan.
Gary Rowett sounds just like a lot of our previous managers. I fear our senior management team will choose him.

He done some good?.

[addickryan]

Couldn’t care less the type of football we are playing as long as we get out this league. We are in no position to be worrying about the style of football we are playing when we are in a relegation fight in league one. Getting us winning games is the number one priority

Looks dangerous on paper, but to be honest the 'progressive' style of posession based football has been the aim of every manager since Adkins, and none of them have been able to execute it. There's a reason we play better against sides higher in the league because we get space to play - 50%+ of your matches will have some big lump at CB for Exeter, Fleetwood etc who will kick Alfie May into Row Z.

I think one of the reasons Millwall got out of the league and didn't look back is becuase you had a big, physical side with two big strikers who could finish. That's the formula - Collins at Luton, Woodrow at Barnsley, Morrison/Gregory at Millwall and arguably Bishop at Pompy this year. Charlton have been lacking that true #9 focal point and if Rowatt identifies that and builds a team around it, I'd take 1-0 wins all day long.

[bilko]

The reason I want Jones is because the club needs a reboot and needs rebuilding again from top to bottom and he has history of doing that, but saying that my main concern is staying up this season so we can start the reboot. I just hope he’s capable of that.

Right now our issues are staying in this league! But yeah agree with the results matter more than the football right now.

Any ambitious owner would go for the best man avaialble and appoint him as quickly as they can.

The fact that we haven't tells me we have missed out on our main targets of Jones/Rowatt.

Wouldnt suprise me in the slightest if our search and appoint process has been put on hold because Darren Moore has become available.

A caretaker like Warnock to keep us up and appoint a new manager when we're in a better place might be better. No point getting a mediocre manager. Shame we didn't sign some better defenders before the start of the season, we'd probably be in a safe position now.

I could be wrong but I suspect that any manager is going to want the security of, at least eighteen months, probably more like two and a half years contract.

I can't see anyone taking it for six months. There is no upside. If we go down he has a relegation on his CV and is we stay up he's on his bike.

It doesn't make sense to commit to pay someone for two and half years when we have no intention of him hanging around after the end of May.

To stay up in the Premier League makes sense but not to stay in League One.

[earlpurple]

Get rid of Scott, replace him with Jones as director of football, hire another coach until end of season to keep us up, and let Jones choose who will be coach under him going forward.
