It’s going to be a tough season with a lot of cost cutting.
Less wages to offer, probably free transfers, and the bulk of the squad probably moving on to pastures new.
I can see it being a complete rebuild with a lot of new players who will need to gel and fit in very quickly.
There will be a lot of pressure on whoever takes the job. The fans will want (and rightly so) an immediate bounce back to the championship.
I don’t see Nathan Jones leaving Charlton - he’s on a build and he’s doing well there.

I feel there are a lot of our fans out there who need to accept these facts. If they do then the bounce back expectation will drop a bit.
As for the player in/out I do see a big exodus, I just hope we keep Salech and the experienced players like Ramsey and Ralls. As for in I'm expecting the Youth club to get a chance, in fact I believe that is an obvious way.
As for a manager, all I see is a Ramsey player/manager role.

We said no.
Managers and agents out there will be very clued up on whats been going on here, including divided fan base, rumours of Tans interference in team selection, texting during the game and transfers and lack of investment in the team and so on. Maybe the damaging choice of Riza was chosen because suitors saw this along and turned down an approach with the precarious league position? Bilic?
Since he sacked Malky, No appointment by Tan (apart from Warnock) was on the bookies favourites list or names touted by us fans, ex players, pundits and journalists. This is the biggest symptom (along with Tan virtually being the DOF we so desparately need) as to why we are where we are in the division and with a mish mash unbalanced squad.
This is what we are dealing with regarding being managerless on the brink of the third division.
Buckingham and Jones good names,I wish! I just cant see it sadly
