The new, new manager thread. Thread closed.

Tbf, most thought Garner had bought into the ‘project’.

Surely, the most important thing is the best person possible not someone who may be inferior but likes the project a bit more.

If we get a new man in on Monday it still won’t sit right with me about how we’ve gone about it - especially the stuff about people being ready to go just as soon as Garner was sorted. Why the bullshit. We had enough of that with Power.

That line about people ready came from a chap from the Trust. I think that little snippet of information (which has proven to be incorrect) has got peoples hopes up and added to the frustration and perception of being misled.

Back onto the manager, I think we will end up with our first choice again for some reason. Not seen any of the names linked get other jobs yet. I'll be shocked if new guy wasn't announced any day now

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Very true and I'm just doing the same I suppose, I just find it mad how the flippancy of figures etc gets banded around and then gets compared to the power era. The club explained last week the legal situation and as it stands the compo for the others clearly hasn't been done. To accuse the club of being no different to the power era I thinks the bit that is wrong, I apologise for personal insults though there was no need for that. It was a flippant comment but you are right, no need

I’m in no way comparing Clem et al to Power. I still can’t understand how the compo for Scott x 2 impacts on announcing which players may or may not have signed or re-signed.

Not even sure how it prevents employing a new Head Coach, tbh.

Latest from the club. Sly dig at Garner. Weird tweet from Caffery as well. ‘It’s all genetic’. Wtf

I guess most knew it but I found it interesting to read what Angus said about the 2 Scotts still under employment at STFC. I'm sure if Charlton really wanted both of them they would pay the asking price? (which can't be a King's ransom surely)

Then of course you get the new candidates that possibly will want their own staff, are they being put off by having our coaches in place? Angus' words don't suggest anyone being appointed imminently unfortunately.

[Shrivvy Road]

Yeah wasn't helpful, I think the club do need to have a word with a few who have not helped through this process. I'm a huge fan of the trust but they can't be posting things like that and now people like that being cryptic... Angus and Morfuni are going about it the right way and having to field complaints etc on here and elsewhere based on what other people are saying

I think that was also the criticism made by the guys on the LS Pod that the Trust has to be seen to be as an individual entity rather than an extension of the club. Don't think James Spencer and others on the Trust took that very well.

I guess the term loose lips sink ships has come to pass here a little.

I don’t think it’s just the compo for those 2, though. Charlton already have coaching staff which, I presume, will have to be paid off as well.

Did Swindon actually report that £80,000 compensation had been agreed?  Surely if he had 2 more years left on his contract you would want double the figure that's been quoted otherwise you wouldn't agree to him leaving

Leaving no stone unturned could also mean we're starting to get desperate and running out of options!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Total Sport reported it. I suppose you either believe them or not. Negotiating compo is different from a specific buy out clause. Obviously both clubs were happy with the amount.

Charlton fans are also wondering what’s happening with the 2 Scotts.

And that fella from the South London Press has reported there is no substance to Louis Barry going on loan there. Someone reckons 1 of our players is joining Garner - might be Conroy, though.

I think Barry might be going to Franchise. Conroy or Jack Payne I'd imagine might be the player they allude to (if that is indeed true)

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

So, if was a choice of losing Payne or Reed, which one would you pick?

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Payne as Reed is younger

[Bob's Orange]

So, if was a choice of losing Payne or Reed, which one would you pick?

That question is like being told you are being killed but have to choose drowning or being suffocated.

Both are hugely important players, and both are key to making the side tick. It's literally 50/50 but if pushed I'd keep Reed.

[Berniman]

Hearing from a few places that the new man is now done, don’t know who it is, but that must be positive news for a potential announcement on Monday.
