GrahamC Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 New Charlton manager. Bit surprised he’s got a job that big after failing to land the Rotherham & Exeter gigs, but there you go. Be interested to see how he gets on, they should be doing far better in the third tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Heavily rumoured to be the new Charlton boss. The fans, not that they have been gruntled to this point, appear to be relatively disgruntled… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good luck to him but that's a proper tough gig to take on, they're an absolute mess on and off the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good for him. We had some good performances early on under him and it was clear in interviews that he thinks a lot about the game. I think the major issue with us was that too many things went wrong that season for a new inexperienced manager to cope with and it all slid out of control. A bit more luck at Charlton and he might actually do okay. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good luck to him and I hope it works out well. Must say it’s a bizarre appointment though. Charlton fans can’t be very happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I thought he was going to stay in the Midlands, I guess the opportunity was too good to turn down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) A surprise appointment, seems to be driven by the DoF according to their forum? Their views seem to range from disappointment to apathy which I guess isn’t a surprise. I’ve not considered him as the top position and thought he might stay in the coaching and supporting roles now, but fair enough for giving it a go. Clearly a decent man but glad his time as head coach is long gone; something that really never should have happened (rigorous process flash backs!).

Steve Watts Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I hope someone has told the fanbase that they have acquired an outstanding human....And in fairness, they actually have. I wish him all the luck in the world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 the BBC commentator who follows The Addicks was interviewed by Radio Briz prior to the Rovers game. I'm surprised Dean has accepted the job after what the beeb said. The fans are fed up with the board. Nothing new but it is far worse than normal apparently. Apathy is rife. Their previous manager was given no support by the board etc. One thing the commentator said though was that despite all the sackings and ill feeling etc, there will always be a professional manager wanting the job.

I suppose if the cub were in a good place then they wouldn't be appointing someone with Holden's (lack of) experience and prestige. I imagine both parties are looking at it thinking "It's far from ideal, but it's the best we can get right now". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Fairness to him, the style of play for the first few games after his appointment was a definite improvement from the tail end of Johnson’s reign. He really did not adapt to injuries to players like Weimann or Mawson and we were awful by the end but he might - or of course might not - have learned from what went wrong with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't know who applied for the Charlton job and what process they went through but I can imagine him saying all the right things and that he wouldn't have been the most expensive option.

Bris Red Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Fair play i can see why Charlton fans aren’t happy, without anything of note on his CV why would their board think he is the candidate to get them out of League one..? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
