Dman Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The fact that after us, he can only get a job at a bottom half L1 side kind of goes to show how bad of an appointment it was. I can kind of understand and see the logic of why we appointed him, but it was destined to fail from the very start. That being said, Selles was significantly worse. Out of the 3 managers we had last season, 1 is currently unemployed (in fairness, he'll pick up another decent enough job - Palace would be a good fit for him) the other 2 are in the bottom 7 clubs in L1 🤦♂️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point we were tainted goods and needed someone to manage us. The fuck up was not sacking Ralph in the summer and then giving it to Jones when there was still time to save us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Charlton Chairman: "We’re really pleased to appoint Nathan Jones. He is a Manager of real pedigree who has a track record of building successful teams over a period of time. We were really impressed with the quality of candidates interested in coming to Charlton. Through our initial research, the in-depth interview process and the references we took, Nathan was the clear stand out. He is a great fit for Charlton given his ability to get his teams playing football on the front foot, with a passion and an intensity. He is an excellent coach, who is tactically savvy and an outstanding developer of talent!" Wish Nat and the Latics well, he's certain to raise the passion and aggression levels inside the Valley!

All my mums side of the family are Charlton fans and was talking about his appointment earlier today. I think he might be ok for them, smallish club where he can probably stamp his authority in a similar way to Luton.

The other candidates... The initial research... The in-depth interview process Nathan at the interview... the references... Hilarious that they've come out with "front foot" as if they've just been hypnotised by the power point presentation. "This slide shows the swirly lines of front footed aggression.Look closely as they move..." Everything the stoke fans said, turned out to be accurate. Everything the Stoke players said, turned out to be accurate. Despite Jones supposedly having learned so much about the Stoke experience. Jones clearly has a level of player he can even contemplate coaching. If Charlton's squad contains no one who's had a sniff of a Premier League, he might be able to repeat what he did at Luton. Stu turning to the bench and asking what, even roughtly, he was being asked to do, sums up his time with us. Out of his depth. Edit: A peek at a couple of Charlton forums, and they seem quite pleased. They're on a dreadful run, with some forum folk looking down towards relegation scraps. They seem keen on a table tennis table burner, if it gets them to replicate Luton. Edited February 4 by Holmes_and_Watson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right tbf. Both my boys are Gasheads, and when Ben Garner did an exact copy of Nathan Jones with the Gas then after getting the boot turned up at his mates Swindon. Did a fair job there and then bombed at Charlton. I do feel for Charlton after all the crap with owners over the years.
