All a complete load of bollox.
What I would say is the fact there seems to be a delay I think probably is they are trying to get an in contract manager or a much better candidate than the likes of Buckingham and Evatt.
If we are now looking at in contract managers a small flutter on Richie Wellens may be worth a punt.
Id still say Buckingham is the most likely appointment mind.
That contradicts what we've been told though. 3 applicants interviewed, all presumably keen on the job, sent to Tan 3 weeks' ago. It would only take a couple of days at most to sort out contractual issues at both ends. No, I think they've f****d it up again !!Quote:

I do think its a fair chance they've fecked again though.🤣🤣🤣
If this delay is because we've had to wait for say Jones , Wellens or Challinor or trying to get someone like O Neill then fair enough.
Hopefully we find out in the coming week.
Its far more likely Tan doesn't fancy any of them, or they're waiting for RVN to get sacked at Leicester so they can get BBM without compensation.Quote:

The delay must be because the message board is running slowly.Quote:

Has it not sunk in yet that these odds you keep posting are completely useless? I don’t know where you’re getting them from, but during the last couple of weeks you’ve told us there have been four different odds-on favourites.
Unless Vincent Tan is compiling the odds they clearly have no value.
I'll bet you are right!Quote:

I saw sky bet had a next man u manager the other week, taking money whilst the current guy is still in place
Must be so profitable.
Well the main Charlton reporter (Glen Williams equivalent), says Nathan Jones to Cardiff is ' not happening'.. :hehe:
Chill out. It's not my fault there's been different favourites.🤣Quote:

How likely is it this Jones stuff is all bullshit so the club can say "we did our best" when we inevitably appoint Ramsey or Purse?
Everyone’s playing a game and we usually lose those.
At this point, I'm just sticking my head in the sand until I hear an official announcement. This is turning into the X-Factor.
🤣🤣🤣Quote:

I think we’ll have a new manager and sacked him by thenQuote:

Well, according to the other place we've been pursuing Jones throughout but Charlton's severance valuation increased upon promotion to around £4.5m incl. back up staff. Tan wanted to pay over 5 years but Charlton insisted all up front.
The mind boggles at what the club's back-up plan is, if this is true.
If true, that is crazy money for us to be paying.Quote:

There are other options if we're looking for a short term fix. Also, if we're going to pay 4.5M (ish) can't we look for something better and long-term? Answer: probably not.
I honestly don't understand why anyone would believe that ITK posts on a message board (whichever one) have anything to do with truth. There was a time long, long ago when the club had a Deep Throat and an association with ice-cream lickers, but that is no longer the case.Quote:

Yep overwhelming majority of it is clearly bollocks, a small percentage are agents pushing their own agendas, an equally small amount then may actually have some level of truth.Quote:

Its almost certainly not trueQuote:
