The only man who couldn't avoid defeat against Vale at home. Good luck!

Or perhaps not

Karl Robinson is watching our game at Bristol Rovers tonight and sounds like he is set to be announced tomorrow.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Just when you have won 2 in a row as well

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Think he'll do well for you

I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't best pleased when I saw that he was in the frame but after thinking about it rationally it could be a lot worse.

Now, I don't like the bloke particularly and I hate that he's always full of excuses, I much prefer a manager to come out and say we weren't good enough rather than blaming this, that or the other.

However, overall he did do a good job at MK, has years of L1 experience and has won promotion from this league, according to the owners (haha!) promotion is the aim at the earliest attempt so that already makes Robinson more qualified for the job than Slade ever was.

He seems to do well with young players and I believe our academy was part of the reason he was interested in the job and MK often brought in some very good loan players over the years so would be useful if he is able to bring in the same calibre as he did there.

As always under this regime though, it's all about whether he is actually allowed to get on with his job and manage, if he is then I think he can be a success here and is a better option than Slade was.

This is Charlton though, so it probably won't even be him!

Karl Robinson is officially the new gaffer.

Signs a 2 and a half year contract, decent little payout after he's sacked in March.

Best of luck Robbo, you've got a good squad and I imagine he'll get a bigger transfer budget at you lot.

Then what would he have to moan about everyday?

Then what would he have to moan about everyday?

Not choosing how he spends it.

 

[joethegill]

I think this is a good appointment.

Solid enough, certainly.

He takes full control from Monday so this means his first game in charge will be at home to none other than MK Dons.

And we are still without a manager, I sense a hammering coming.

So he will be gone before we play you at Easter?

Every chance.

He's done his first few interviews this week and I have to say - I'm impressed. It could all be a load of talk of course but he comes across as very passionate and up for the task ahead. More than can be said for Mr stood at the touchline with my arms folded Slade.

He's very passionate and works brilliantly with the youth, but is very rigid in his style of play (Can't change it up for toffee, at least he couldn't with us) he had a baffling comment about how 'If plan B was any good it would be plan A' and I'm convinced that the reason we signed so many good youngsters and loanees was more to do with our scouts rather than actually him. He had a great rep with both the fans and the Chairman here, so it'll be interesting to see how he works out in what is effectively becoming a warzone at Charlton. Good luck to the bloke mind you.
