I spoke to Matt and Jay after training and we agreed that the target's my Chairman had set out we're understandable. I rang Derek when i got home and asked him when we would be putting offers in for Jermaine Defoe. He said that it would be within the next week.

Demands.

The next day, Luke Young came into my office and told me that he was not enjoying life here at Charlton anymore, and asked if i would ask any clubs if they we're intrested. I was shocked by this but agreed that we didn't want any players at the club who didn't want too be here. So Derek had left me the numbers of Premiership managers and I gave most of them a call. Alan Pardew of West Ham was intrested. He wanted Luke on a year loan, not permanent at this time. I asked Luke and he said i'll see what they have too offer.

Trouble.

After training I stayed at the ground and Derek turned up and was not happy. He told me that if I wanted too sell player's behind his back then I was not going too be here much longer. Again I wasn't convinced that I was being allowed too run the club.

Crack's we're being formed in the Manager - Chairman relationship already.

However, i did have my first game in charge too look forward too in 3 days time against Mk Dons. So their was a plus.
