Johnnie Jackson hopes Karl Robinson stays on as boss after the Charlton takeover.

Addicks owner Roland Duchatelet agreed a price with two parties last month, but a deal is still some way off.

Earlier this season, Robinson said his days would be numbered if new owners came in.

When asked if player-coach Jackson wants the Liverpudlian to be given an opportunity under a new regime, he told News Shopper: “Yeah, I’m part of his team. We succeed and we fail together.

“So I feel as responsible as I’m sure he does where we find ourselves [in the table]. I don't distance myself from that at all. I play and coach so win or lose I’m part of it.

“It’s an uncertain time where we don't know what’s going to happen, but you get on with your job and the task at hand. Whatever happens, there’s still another game to prepare for.

“You have to remain professional and worry about things you can affect and hopefully Karl is given the opportunity to take the club forward and I’d love to be a part of that.”

Robinson took Jackson under his wing last season and appointed him as a first-team player-coach in July.

The pair alongside assistant manager Lee Bowyer have been working towards a common goal this term - promotion.

And club captain Jackson, who will retire at the end of the season to fully focus on his coaching role, is thankful to Robinson.

He said: “The gaffer has been brilliant. To give me the opportunity firstly, I’m so grateful.

“He could have easily come in here and possibly seen me as a threat and not want me around. But from day one, he made it clear he wanted me on board with him.

“I see it as a great opportunity to learn from a great coach. He’s only a couple years older than me but he’s been coaching for years.

“He’s one of the youngest managers in the Football League. He’s a great person for me to learn from and build up a relationship with. We work well together.

“I try to bring everything I can to the role. I’ll be able to bring even more next year when I’m fully on the other side [a full-time first-team coach]. He’s been brilliant for me and I couldn't ask for any more.”

Charlton have won just once in seven games and are five points from sixth-placed Peterborough.

Realistically, the Addicks need seven wins from their remanning 11 fixtures to finish in the play-offs.

Jackson added: “If you win seven out of 11 games, 100 per cent you’ll be in the top six. 

“You need 70-plus points which is six wins at least and a few draws or seven wins. That’s what we’re aiming for. Seven out of 11 - can we do it? On the run we’re on, people will think we’re not going to do that.

“But Fleetwood at home is a winnable game and Plymouth at home is a winnable game. If you do win two on the bounce, you start believing again.

“So you can’t ever think it’s not going to happen. I don't see any reasons why we can’t beat Fleetwood and then it’s on to the next game, on to the next game and you see where it takes you. We can’t afford any more slip-ups.”

Jackson has started four league games this season, and he could be called upon in the latter stages of the campaign, especially with key midfielder Ahmed Kashi crocked.

Joe Aribo and Jake Forster-Caskey are Charlton’s only other central midfield options at the moment.

Jackson, 35, said: “There’s definitely going to be a role for me to play in the remaining games with Kashi out, that’s one light in midfield.

“I bring that experience in the times when it can help especially in the run-in, in high-pressure games. The gaffer knows he can throw me in there. I’ve been in those situations before.

“Am I the player I was? No. I get that. Can I have the physical effect on the team? Not like I used to. But I certainly think I’m capable of moments.

“I’m not going to play every game, I know that. But I still think there will be times when I can and should be used. I’m sure I will be in these last 11 games.

“With the injuries we've had, we’re going to need everyone, myself included. I always train right and keep myself ready and fit.

“You’re not going to be as sharp as you were playing every week and being the age I am, it’s difficult to not play and go back in.

“But that’s why I always train hard and prepare for the match as though I’m always playing. You never know, you've got to always be ready. I’m still a player for 11 more games. I’m ready when needed.”
