Hopefully a sign that we are getting back to being run sensibly with an ambitious board. I'm slowly thinking that Carter has something about him and can be the new Peter Varney.
I'm not so optimistic I'm afraid. Having NJ on such a long term contract will be a good thing - if we're doing well or at least OK. On the other hand if the season goes wrong and we start getting battered regularly and slide towards relegation? It'll cost big money to get rid of him. The situation could turn toxic again. Let's be under no illusion. The Championship is a much tougher league than L1. There are some big, well funded and well run teams in it, who will take apart a weak side.
I am Mr glass-half-empty The last 11 years have done that. Been wrong plenty of times though, so NJ feel free to prove me wrong again. My only ask of next season is that Charlton don't go down again. 21st place will do.
Fair point, but making what appears to be a very good signing this early in the summer is a positive sign,+ we nicked him from under the noses of an established Championship club.
I hope the nicking him from under the noses of an established Championship Club is a true story, not a line being put out by certain sources to butter fans up. Sorry, I can't help it!
Good luck to him, I hope he works out for us. And it's very early days. Hoping for more and better over the next 8 or 9 weeks.
