Fat Steve Evans appointed Mansfield manager. Considering we will surely have a new manager in place for Saturday , it now seems to be a 50-50 between Nigel Adkins and Chris O'Loughlin. My wild hunch is that they will pretend that they are sticking with the "British manager" model, and go to Adkins first. He will ask for the same assurances as Wilder did, but Slade didn't. The sticking point will then come as to whether he is prepared to accept them [depending on how desperate he is to get back into football via a basket case of a club]. Meire will then turn to O'Conman, pointing out his British credentials even though O'Lightweight admitted he couldn't even get a manager's job in Northern Ireland [his own words], and had to go to Congo to work for a military General's pet team before being sacked for failing to turn up for a key game because his visa had expired and he had failed to notice. O'Imposter then graduated to managing Duchatelet's C-Team in St Truiden.. with a 19% success rate that would have made even Karel Fraeye - an alumni of FC Hamme, blush. Meire will also make her annual declaration that she has underestimated the league and is looking to strengthen the squad in January. This strengthening will involve selling Lookman for 8m and pocketing the money, whilst sending O'Patsy 6 lovely Network players. Almost identical things to the above happened in 2014 and 2015.
He would be very O'Stupid to take the job A Belgium based friend of his Tweeted me yesterday to say he felt sorry for him if he was going to walk into a club with a bad atmosphere - the naivety and sense of entitlement with these people is astounding. I replied that we are Charlton Athletic, not St Truiden.
Beggars can't be choosers though. As Groucho Marx said "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member".
Martin Allen for me he's off his trolley mr entertainment would tell Katrien where to stick her waffles ...and be sacked in a week ...We want Allen
Gary Caldwell now trading at odds on. He did a decent job in League One at Wigan last season, but if he thought Dave Whelan was a senile relic he hasn't met Duchatelet yet.
Looks very much as though Steve Evans did speak to Charlton. He has just said that he joined Mansfield because he didn't want to be at a new club that was at war with "supporters and Trusts" Who on earth could he mean
Karl Robinson comes through from the back of the field. C O'**** and KR favourites. Really nobody has a clue. I think the CEO is just desperate to find someone, anyone, who'd take on the poison chalice.
Gary Caldwell joint favourite with O'No now. Not for me. Who can forget the Kilmarnock Vs Celtic game when Kilmarnock were winning 1-0, with David Fernandez tearing Celtic to pieces? The game was turned by a violent assault by Caldwell on Fernandez which led to him being stretchered off, and put him out of the game for months. In fact he was never the same player again. Caldwell then saw the ref reach for a card, and rushed up, wagging a finger in his face. He only got a yellow. And Celtic won 2-1.
Announcement on the o/s that Kevin Nugget to take "temporary" charge on Saturday - with Chris O'Loughlin assisting him You just knew it.
Clueless c****! This works for me though as this is another in the line of crazy appointments. Royston can now get in touch with Rick and discuss protest plans
Everyone has cottoned on already that it is a backdoors way of getting O'Loughlin onto Charlton's books Nugent fails without Holmes- and guess who is next...
