1. Nigel Pearson - just the sort of manager we need. Exemplary record at more than one club, including promotions. Takes no sh1t from anyone. Only negative is that his son doesn't like foreigners, which could be a problem at Charlton.... 2. Curbs. Speaks for itself. First home game after his appointment would be a 20,000 plus attendance. Such a logical and obvious appointment you just know it will never happen under Meire. 3. Johnnie Jackson (player manager) - same reasons as above. A pleasure to see him actually bollocking and motivating his team mates on Saturday. 4. Ronnie Moore - extensive league managerial experience, likes a bet, did an incredible job last season with another lost cause Club like ours, ex player so knows a bit about the Club. 5. The Gay Bloke from TV's Bargain Hunt. No footballing experience or knowledge whatsoever, so he will have a lot in common with Katrien Meire. His TV experience of wading through a load of sh1te each week to unearth the odd cheap bargain means he could also double as our Chief Scout.
Any manager that took over would have to sacrifice control over transfers, whoever took over would be a complete puppet.
Someone summed it up perfectly in another thread when they said...: "The position of Charlton manager is totally irrelevant". There's so much interference from behind the scenes that it doesn't make a blind bit of difference who's manager. I liken the whole sorry state of affairs to parenting children. I'll turn round and tell my boys that they're not doing something and they'll slip off and ask their mother the same question on the QT. She'll say yes thus undermining my authority. This must be what it's like to be Charlton manager. The players know that Luzon has no clout and that those in the shadows pull the strings. It must therefore be practically impossible for him to exert his ideas/will on the players. It also makes it incredibly easy for the players to 'down tools' and force a manager out if they don't fancy him. For me a manager must have full control of all transfer dealings & team selection at the very least. And we all know there's precious little chance of ANY Charlton manager being given that level of control under this Belgian twat...!! Yes I know what you're going to say... "The role of head coach not manager is all the rage in Europe". Well I see very little evidence that it can be successful here in England. I personally feel sorry for Luzon and whoever comes next.
Why is he an imbecile? I find it funny that when he warned the country of the impending refugee/economic migrant crisis he was laughed at. Farage tells it like it is, which is something that most politicians don't.
I agree with every thing except for feeling sorry for Luzon. He knew the score when he came here, and so will the next stooge. He won't get sacked, by the way, he'll just get recycled.
But surely Farage is less of an imbecile than Blair's Home Secretary John Reid ? When asked in 2004 how many Poles he thought would migrate to the UK after the suicidal decision to grant Eastern European peasant nations accession, thick Jocko Reid replied.... "About 15,000"
Franco- I agree with all that you say about Luzon & the role of Charlton manager. To quote Lyndon Johnson when talking about the role of Vice President, "it is not worth a bucket of spit" However....Luzon knew what he was signing up for when he joined the Douche sinecure, and he will be found a nice position at Ujpest or St Truiden when he gets bolted by Katrien. The whole situation is a sick joke, the only positive is that the overall mood amongst our fans seems to have turned, en masse, against the Douche. Better late than never in some cases.
When I say I feel sorry for Luzon and whoever is next I mean...: These European managers come into our once great club to take what is undoubtedly a great opportunity to manage the biggest club of their managerial career. They embrace the Coach role because it is what they are used to having managed in Europe. However, pretty soon after they arrive they must realise that...: A) The coach role simply does not work in England. B) The chairman and his bit of fluff have absolutely zero clue what it takes to run a football club in England. It's when the reality of the cluster **** hits them that I begin to have sympathy for their plight. What we need is a strong English/British manager with a proven track record. Someone with a bit of bargaining power who can say "this is how I work and it's successful". Sadly I think there's more chance of me sprouting wings and flying to the moon with Megan Fox on my back, than RD employing such a manager.
For a minute I thought you had typed Morgan Fox. I was going to say "what floats your boat buddy! As long as you're happy, that's what matters!" Then I done a double take.
But what about Boris Johnson? His trip to Japan has been humorous, though embarrassing for our image. Boasting about paying for transport on debit cards (they've had that for 10 years), asking to swap presents when they had nothing to offer and mocked him after his request, and then my favourite - knocking down a 10 year old during a game of tough rugby. How he was voted in - I'll never know.
Hartlepool once voted in a Monkey as their Mayor,... Londoners voted in a Clown. As Garry Linacre would say " It is what it is"
Boris isn't a clown. A clown is someone who's lies lead to the deaths of 458 British servicemen. A clown is someone who sells our gold reserves at the bottom of the market. There is a better than 50% chance of Boris being Prime Minster by 2019.
