My on line poll - would you ever accept Nebojsa as Charlton manager ? 403 votes so far - and 95% have said "no".
Interesting comment about Chris Wilder - that he was recommended to Duchatelet by Lennie Lawrence when the two met recently. It might go some way to explaining how they stumbled upon him, given their previous track record of disasters. This also begs the question - did Lawrence recommend others as well? Lets hope so...
He must have done, Lennie would have thought that there was a possibility things would not be plain sailing.
So they used Lennie as unpaid consultant, under the guise of interviewing him for DoF? That would be why Roland lost interest half way through the interview, he had the information he needed, probably free, just like the interview with Wilder, who flew to Belgium to meet The Visionary.
That makes sense. RD: So tell me Chris, you're going to get my support 100%. Tell Rolly what players you want? CW: That Moncour player, solid lad, we'll need Marc Richards, thinking of signing Bradley Dack if Gills don't go up, probably need one more solid CB. RD: Speak to Katrine, she'll sort out the finer details, but let me say welcome aboard.... Later that day RD: Katrine we've got all the information we need. Get them players in and give Nobby Vinigar a call!
Strange though how it was leaked to the press at the very beginning, then a public statement that we had permission to talk to him. Cock-up theory or conspiracy theory? Take your pick.
http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/...s_manager_criteria_and_summer_transfer_plans/ So Wilder was going to have full control in a written contract according to KM -- The CEO told Press Association Sport: “It got out, we got a signed agreement, there was a clause in there he had full control over player recruitment, but he gets approached by another club. ... then again she has a tendency to fib a bit
No not a signed contract.... a signed agreement, there's a big difference We don't want to be nasty and misquote her do we
“(The new manager needs) experience and also - what we think was one of the main problems - (to overcome) so many poor moments of discipline among the players. “(He’ll need to) go back to the core Charlton is about - a hard-working footballing team - and make everybody work for the same kind of goal. “(It’s) not just general discipline problems, but somebody that can bring a team spirit back. and what's all this about? Solly refusing to go to Gillingham?
She lies repeatedly, its hard to know where to start. The same woman who described Powell's assertion that she interferes in team affairs as "mind-blowing", the same person who claimed the protesters were "a negative 2%", the same person who claimed to have interviewed "20 applicants" for the job after Peeters was sacked. If anyone writes a book eventually about Meire's Lies, it will rival War and Peace in length.
The point is British manager to shut up fans I really don't think they care about credentials, look at it this way, they get in a crappy British manager he does really badly, they sack him and say they tried it our way and it didn't work and brink back in the network rejects.
English or not matters not a jot regime change only thing that will appease me until then couldn't careless who is manager in many ways the crappier the better may take lot more failure for them to sell up any success and they will stay
