    "Eddie Howe has rejected us and we continue to search. In the meantime Dowie and Les Reed are coming in to assist KP"
  • Press conference didn't makes sense, as he's in Bournemouth. Unless they hoped to unveil him by videolink!

    Not sure why everyone's being pessimistic.

    He's meeting with the Bournemouth board. No doubt they will be putting an ofer to him. From what I've read of him he is not going to be swayed by money primarily and in any event I doubt that they will be able to offer more than we are.

    My guess is that he will have to decide between his heart (Bournemouth) and his head (Charlton). He is well-loved at Bournemouth and has very strong links with them, he know his players and they are doing really well. However, it sounds as if he doesn't get on well with his boss. Charlton are definately a step-up from Bournemouth in terms of potential but it's a risk for him.

    If it's true that he was at the Spurs game and spent a long time with the Charlton directors I think it's more likely than not that he'll join us.

    I don't think it'll be about him coming considering he is still in Bournemouth.

    Game over - next on the list.
  • Peacock sacked. Judged on results?

    It's certainly in stark contrast to the secrecy surrounding the takeover.

    From one extreme to the other. Now we're getting minute-by-minute reports on the recruitment (or not) of our next manager. We even know what Eddie had for lunch in the canteen ( come to Charlton and you can dine in the Oxo Tower next week, mate!)

    Is that a toilet break they're taking down in the Dean Court boardroom - I wonder what that can mean?

    Oh, right. Someone needs a pee.

    Settle down again!
  • This isn't really that exciting. The man has no more experience than parky... Hope we don't get him.

    1142 people on the blog......its quite funny.....But if he stays at Bournemouth Id be just as chuffed as if he came to us.
  • What's the big rush. Keithie is doing a good job. We are getting sucked into a bidding war for a manager who is totally unproven at a higher level. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and come back to their senses. Curbs is still available and finding it almost impossible to get back into the game. Not a lot to choose ATM in terms of us and Ipswich and even they didn't want him.
