‘No shortage’ – Richard Cawley provides insight on Charlton Athletic’s managerial hunt

South London Press’ Richard Cawley says there’s been ‘no shortage’ of applicants for the vacant Charlton Athletic job.

Charlton Athletic owner Thomas Sandgaard made the surprising decision to sack Jackson earlier this week following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.

Since, very few names have emerged as contenders for the job, with former Celtic boss Neil Lennong being just about the only name officially linked with the position.

But Cawley says that there’s been ‘no shortage of applications’ for the job, with Sandgaard having began the process of finding Jackson’s replacement.

Cawley tweeted yesterday:

Since Jackson’s departure, it’s been revealed that Sandgaard wasn’t happy with the club’s style of play under Jackson, prompting his sacking from the club after securing a 13th place finish in League One.

Jackson replaced Nigel Adkins earlier this season. The Addicks were toying with the relegation zone when Jackson took over, but he steered them up and away from the bottom three.

An poor decision…

Many Charlton fans have been left fuming at the decision to sack Jackson. He’s a club legend and was a significant improvement on Adkins, albeit without massively impressing as the club’s permanent manager.

Who Sandgaard might bring in next is anyone’s guess – expect the managerial candidates to start emerging in the coming days and expect Sandgaard to look for someone with much more experience in the dugout than Jackson, and someone who plays football the way Sandgaard wants.

The Addicks owner has a big decision to make now – the wrong one could really see fans start turning against him.
