A third job of the season for LJ?

Especially now Charlton have ex Sunderland Charlie Methven as co-owner

I’ve got two spare tickets in upper tier of Lansdown now. Just sorted two through a mate elsewhere. 

They are u19 and u22 tickets. If anyone wants them just looking for what I paid which was £31.25

Worth keeping an eye on the ticketing site, picked up two in W17 at 5am whilst doing the night feed - first time I haven’t begrudged having to do it

Equally gutted and happy to find out today that I can now  attend so find myself in a position of looking for two tickets. Ideally an adult or U25 with a U19 (but whatever you have I’m keen)

If anyone does have a spare or a change of circumstances, please give me a DM. Happy to pay straight away  

Oh yes it’s Jason Knight, and he’ll run all night

He’s ******* dynamite, in red and white (Ohhh Jason Knight!)

Repeat x2

Only 7 tickets remain from the full allocation for anyone still not sorted - got until 2pm

Interesting there is a 6pm kick off on a Friday night, don't think I've seen that before?

Il be judging Manning on 24 points from 16 games which is what Pearson would have been on after our easiest two games of the season. So that's borderline play off form

Not sure that’s how football works

This is great news. Thank you for posting (I don't do ****er).

But what on earth is that machine he's strapped into????

Also - if I've read it right - Proctor used to be at Oxford United!

Think it is essentially to remove sense of gravity to the lower half of his body? To Limit the stress during activity 

All football fans are fickle, win his first home game, couple fist fist pumps to S82 and he will be the second coming of Jesus Christ.
 

*until he loses the couple after that 

I wonder if someone like Lee Carsley May be in the frame? A name I did see lower in the list on skybet. I must say I have watched none of the England U21s but I do know he has had success including winning the Euros recently.

A quick search suggests he plays in quite a progressive style, almost Spanish like. See also Gordon at Newcastle said he’s the best man manager he’s ever seen.

We’ve gone for England staff in the past… we have quite an emphasis on academy and progression. Someone will know more about him? Any good or one to avoid?

What do you have to do to get a Dm around here? 

Was just about to say the same my DM’s are open, I’m intrigued 

Well his meeting is due to start in a minutes time, good luck Frank!

Since we are going for promotion we need two wins here

As I said on Monday on another thread, Lampard wants the job and has made contact. I spoke to my mate again this morning and he has said that Frank will be interviewed, and he is very keen to come here. After the chat I had with my mate this am, who is very good friends with Frank, I would be very very surprised if he is not our next manager. 

The worst bit is that has been heavily edited, it was probably a 30 minute interview that has been chopped down into the best highlights

I don't agree with the sacking of Nige, quite frankly its embarrassing but dealing with the situation we're in, looking at who is out there, I'd go Eustace.

• Played good football with Kidderminster, had some success and reached the playoffs (albeit much lower division)
• Has experience at international level with Ireland. For some reason I like managers that get themselves out there and do this
• Did well with Birmingham. Widely touted to finish bottom, he got them performing really well. All whilst dealing with off pitch nonsense which shows he can shut out the noise, focus on the football, connect with the players and get results. He might need that experience here if there is fallout from the sacking....

Worth noting we also have a Irish contingent of players who will have worked with him already. Potential for Curtis Fleming to remain in position for that consistency with the players I suppose as well?

He will also know Rob Dickie from spell at QPR.

Just now, W-S-M Seagull said:

I'd 100 million percent have preferred us to field a team of academy goalkeepers rather than signing free agents after Nige was refused funds in the summer. 

What sort of bs is that? Waste more money on more crap players because the board ****** up in the summer when it was absolutely obvious to all of us that we needed 2-3 more bodies? 

I back Pearson 100% on his stance with this. 

Sums us up. Willing to undo all the hard work Nige had done installing a proper culture at the club.

Magically able to find some money to throw at out of contract, ageing players. Sounds familiar

My hunch is they want Eustace.

I mentioned it to a mate as soon as Rooney took over there, the Pearson interviews were all surrounded by a young head coach departing his role at a direct competitor. I think something was in the offing around then.

A chance at a decent long term appointment without compensation. Has worked with Dickie at QPR. Was assistant at Republic of Ireland last year too. Makes sense on many levels.
 

Only issue being Pearson 100% should not have been sacked and personally I’m gutted. 

Finally Confident enough this won’t be moved now so going to book train tickets

Anyone else booked, what train time  is best? Are we going to be marshalled into a pub or straight to the ground? Don’t want to get their too early or too late dependant on that really

Well we won’t be selected for live sky coverage in a hurry again, Jesus wept

Luckily I’ve Just re painted my living room wall so at least I can watch that dry throughout the second half

Few hundred making the trip?

700 initial allocation, looks to be 100 or so left. 600 seems a very respectable turn out all things considered

Anyone not using their season tickets and able to purchase I’m really keen to get a couple tickets!

Happy to pay upfront + more or a charitable donation of choice. Worth an ask

Extremely early to ask but if anyone ends up with two spare tickets please let me know, will pay straight away!

Or if anyone isn’t using their quota and able to pick a couple up, I’m happy to pay more for them 

Don’t ask you don’t get
