Charlton said that he was "shocked" to learn that the club was £700,000 in debt, but said that it was a situation he had been in before and gloated that when he had left Boro and Wednesday he "left them with money".
Charlton's original tactics were based on playing five at the back and having a very defensive midfield with Beardsley and Waddle almost being asked to fend for themselves upfront.
Charlton blamed the departure of Waddle on his introduction into the England squad claiming that after that he "was going through the motions".

Jackie Charlton wasn't as technically expert as his brother, but he was determined to succeed, and he did.
For Jackie on the other hand, moving from thinking about and guiding his own footballing efforts to becoming a thinker about and a guide for the efforts of others, that is to say a manager (which is what they call a teacher in football), was a seamless process.
Jackie has had a highly distinguished career as a manager, culminating in a spell managing the Irish national side in the World Cup, with great success and to great national acclaim.

 In Loving Memory of Ken Aston MBE - Page # 50   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The captain of the English equipment, Bobby Charlton, receives his first reprimand in international soccer, to badly show well known a genius in that party of the Glass of the World before Argentina.
And, when remembering it, FIFA revealed hours before England faced Argentina in France ’98, that Charlton was admonished to dissent in that encounter, which was valid by the quarterfinals.
The own Charlton – that elevated the Cup that year like a champion of the world -, ignored that it had been admonished in that party, in the middle of co-born of fight and the idiomatical confusion.

 Milburn
To many Northumbrians, however, the name “Milburn” will conjure up primarily memories of “Wor Jackie”, Newcastle United’s star centre-forward of the late 1940s and early 1950s, whose statue, describing him simply as “footballer and gentleman” now graces the outer precincts of St James’ Park.
Jackie came from a well-known Ashington family, most of whom seem to have been footballers.
Football seems to have been in the Milburn genes, at least as far as that family is concerned, for it was the late Cissie Milburn, Jackie’s cousin, who, having married into the Charlton family, became mother to Jackie Charlton and to Sir Bobby Charlton, both of them also international footballers.

 The Irish question
For me he was never in the same class managerially as the admittedly super pragmatic, ultra careful, Jackie Charlton; who by the way has also been denigrated, in print, by Keane.
Especially when, in the penultimate Euro 2000 qualifier in Zagreb versus Croatia, with just a seemingly soft match in Malta to come, he elected to put out a weekend team, play ultra defensively; and thus lose at the very end of added time.
One way and another the Irish public took to Jackie Charlton, who got the team twice to the World Cup finals, in Italy and in the USA, in a way they never did take to McCarthy who, at least, had Irish blood.

I have not witnessed directly Tony's recent playing form, but even his last few years of excellent form cannot in my opinion elevate him to the level of dominance that Jackie Charlton exhibited in his playing days.
Jackie was a constant threat to score, and no centreforward relished playing against him.
Until Tony curbed his drinking, I would think that many "centreforwards" (the position of course has changed much since Jack's time..) would have relished the idea of playing against "the donkey" as I know he was more popularly known (amongst fans) while I was watching him play.
