    Important result for Jones, although given the performance and opposition gives him no applause.

    So pleased to see Nathan finally arrive. I think it's a great appointment and proves any lingering doubts, (for me anyway) that money does actually exist. He wouldn't have come here if there if it hadn't.
    ************The above from Ivor on the 4th February when Jones was appointed.


    Let's not let tonight's result get in the way of the facts.

    People can sugar coat it all they like but the football under him is dire, it's no improvement at all on the anti stuff we saw under Appleton.

    It's not just him. Other heads need to roll too. Scott for starters along with whoever it is keeping both in a job.
    ********Ivor on the 26th November<laugh>

    He could not bring himself to name Charlie boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As 606 Members said at the time, that tray-full of free prawn sandwiches came with a heavy cost.

    They (Global & Slippery CM) met at the races as well.

    I can’t understand why Global hasn’t taken advantage of their friendship to encourage Methven to resign.

    Walsall fans on social media are scathing about our style of football yesterday - universally describing it as hoofball <yikes>

    L2 opponents.

    A couple of our better judges who were there yesterday have said that the football we played was no better, but that we pressed higher & more effectively.

    In the absence of Ramsay and Jones I think Jones has stumbled upon our best formation which is one that Bowyer used. A diamond formation. He has tried almost everything else.

    There’s no doubt that he’s a mid table manager. That’s where we’re going to stay. Promotion, unlikely as it is, will result in immediate relegation due to being potless but that’s just a pipe dream.

    The next two months will be interesting, a combination of our results this month then the transfer window.
    We'll see what the Yanks are made of. They flexed their muscles last January by getting Jones in.

    Two big ifs here, if we do not win either tonight or Saturday things could get a bit sticky for Ivor's fellow countryman.

    A complete & utter fraud of a football manager.

    Right up there with the worst we’ve had.

    That style of “football” should be illegal.

    He’s literally got nothing in his locker, apart from BS.

    I think jones has a 4 year contract. Can someone confirm?

    that’s probably a negotiable settlement to leave of £200k. Money well spent. Get rid now pls:

    We were outplayed by Crawley. Let that sink in. I have just got in and I am frozen and fed up.
    Honestly that didn’t resemble football at all. The amount of kicking the ball in the air it was more like rugby. This is really the worst football I can remember as a Charlton fan.

    I’ve decided my fav part of the season was when the squad was in Slovenia - pretty surroundings as opposed to this soul destroying ****

    Correct, going by reports, if you want confirmation Ivor is your man as he is ITK all things GFP.

    Jones signed a 4.5 years contract so it's down to a mere 3.5 come January. It would not surprise me if he has a watertight contract which will have break clauses but heavily in his favour.
