In short, Nathan Jones hasn’t been good enough.

The concern is who slippery Methven would appoint to replace him.

 

[TC (Lovely Geezer)]

I did warn you.

Jones = The Welsh Ian Holloway

 

[lardiman]

They'll likely delay sacking Jones for as long as possible, as he is their man and his failure reflects directly and poorly upon them.
The people who lent them money must be realising by now that they won't get it back.

Next season - administration, points deduction, relegation to League Two, eviction from the Valley. A winding up order.
Or maybe things will get quite bad.

Every previous season when we have lost touch with the top 6, the gap between our position and 6th place has done one thing.
Increase.

Once CAFC are 8 points adrift, 10 points, 12 points...
There is no going back.
Where is a single scrap of evidence that we have potential to play better over a sustained period of a couple of months than any team currently in the top 8?
Never mind the top 6.
Because that's what it will take.

There is none.
Our season is over.

None of those things will happen. Nice to have you back posting on here @lardiman I have missed your positivity.

The way football has gone the last few years (predictably boring) you already know that Palace will finish between 12th and 16th in the prem
Millwall will finish between 6th and 10th in the Championship
Charlton will finish between 12th and 16th in League 1

It's a sure bet

Yeh, you could say the same about predictable average home attendances.

Palace 22,000-24,000

CAFC 14,000-16,000

Millwall 10,000-12,000

Or predicting who gets to play Wrexham next (and you're welcome to them)

2025-26 ... Millwall
2026-27 ... Palace

Now you have fairy lights at the Den, why not knit some half & half scarves for the Big Day next season?
Or polish up some half & half knuckle-dusters

Yesterday’s Jones poll on Twitter finished

55% stay
45% go

Probably a reflection on fans getting sick of the managerial merry go round rather than their confidence in Jones.

 

[lardiman]

He stays, we lose.
He goes, we lose.

Him staying costs less money.

Other than fans drifting off into the wilderness, I would love to go week in week out but the last couple of times I’ve been the football has been dire -it dampens the experience and doesn’t make you hungry for more !

I thought it was all about the "match day experience" under this lot.

Do they even have an inkling that they are out of touch with fans?
Real fans that is.
Not internet surfers looking for a novelty for a couple of weeks until the next fad comes along.

Some fans still talk about the Selhurst era because Charlton against all the odds were achieving something. Punching far above their weight against the best teams in the Land.

Who will talk to their kids or grandchildren about the day we played Wrexham?

 

[Smudger603]

Drink more.

Of the ****e they serve up? No thank you !

Meantime IPA is very good.

I have seen some terrible football throughout my 63 years of watching Charlton. But in those days I felt a sense of belonging. It felt like we were all in it together. I don't feel that with the modern day Charlton. I don't recognise what we have become. A Social Media toy, a playground. While all this is going on the Football, which is all I am interested in, has got worse and worse. Plus the fact that we don't own the Valley and training ground anymore.
Charlton the Football Club seems to be drifting further and further away.
