Roddy's role in helping younger players

There has been little discussion by fans of the role of Charlton's experienced technical director Ged Roddy, but one of his key tasks is to help Academy players make a seamless transition to senior football: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/thomas-sandgaard-wants-charltons-academy-players-to-make-seamless-transition-to-senior-set-up-claims-charlton-tv-softening-financial-blow-of-no-fans/

Sandgaard is thinking about the future structure of the Academy and path taken by Brentford, but is looking at restructuring rather than abolition.

Charlton supremo Thomas Sandgaard says that the club's television service has almost quadrupled users since it was improved and this, together with some smart player trades, means that the financial position is a little better than forecast.

New technical director appointed

Ged Roddy MBE as been appointed by Thomas Sandgaard as Charlton's new technical director.  He worked for several years in the Premier League and most recently has worked with Arsene Wenger on Fifa's programme for the development of new talent, which should give him excellent contacts: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/ged-roddy-mbe-appointed-technical-director-at-charlton-athletic/

As one fan commented, 'We are starting to look like a proper football club again.'
