Contract negotiations with Lee Bowyer and Johnnie Jackson will be held in a ‘decent time period’ according to Lieven De Turck, the man representing the club in takeover talks.
The news came at Tuesday’s Charlton fan forum meeting at The Valley which was attended by De Turck, club staff and members of the Supporters Trust.
Bowyer and assistant Jackson’s contracts are up in the summer, as well as a host of first team players, and De Turck moved to ease fans’ worries regarding the retention of the club’s management team.
With Charlton sitting in the play-off places, promotion is a real possibility at The Valley and fans are aware of the importance of the man who was handed the job on a full-time basis earlier this season.
In minutes published by the club it said:
“LDT said within the board there is consensus on Bowyer and Jackson.
“He said conversations will start soon on their contracts as they are doing a good job.
“LDT said they will do it in a decent time period.
“LDT said the consensus in the board is to continue with Bowyer and Jackson.
“Steve Gallen added that both Bowyer and Jackson are aware of that.
“He said they’ve both been talked to about it.”
