Just started writing an alternative Charlton story (hopefully 1 of many if people are interested).

1st one is what would've happened if Dowie hadn't been sacked to the present day.

Will people be interested in reading?

Let me know.

    We would now be in the southern league with Dowie promising he'll turn it around soon.

    But hats of to Amdy Faye who has stuck by us throughout.
  • We will of course never know but just how much worse it could have been I'm not sure. Last year we finished bottom half league three.
  • yeah i am interested 
  • I think you will be surprised at my story, its good and bad and doesn't involve Pardew joining the club.

    I love these sort of fan fiction pieces. They usually work great in more staged environments (such as What If? pieces on films, tv series, even pro wrestling storylines) but nonetheless it's a niche that you could easily fill.
  • Did we relocate to Bolton in your book?

    Sounds good. Can't wait for the part when we reach the Twenty Twenty Cup Final and Djimi Traore wins the 10000m World Championships in Korea.

    exactly and even dowie would have struggled to have taken us down from the championship with such ease ....

    If we don't bring Pardew in, I like it already.
  • Are there any Nazis involved ?
  • does Dowie show our players how to use the force?

    I think Dowie went not neccessarily for poor performances as much as for off the field events, such as getting the players lost in Newcastle on a pre match jog resulting in players scrambling across dual carriageways........... or instead of giving a team talk before Wigan away was actually decorating his mothers bedroom & he phoned for one of his assistents to take the team talk. Having said that he bought some awful players as we all know but I thought we were unlucky in a number of games & as a team were actually playing quite well. Of course we'll never know what would have happened if he 'd stayed. As for Pardew never joining the club, at the time was there anyone who didn't think he was the man for the job ?  
  • Of course whatever you write happens exactly in one of the infinite parallel universes.

    Agreed Charltonbob. When Pardew joined it was with open arms from the vast majority of us hoping he was the new messiah. Shows you what we know................................

    I still maintain that for all his many, many, faults had Dowie not been sacked when he was we'd have stayed up that year and therefore probably not be where we are today. He had a nightmare fixture list to start with for instance that Fergie would've struggled with to get some points on the board.

    That said he's still a......(nope we've all agreed to cut out the bad language)

  • Can we change Dowie to Curbs please, I could do with cheering up.

    My prediction 15th Premier League, still losing to Fulham and beating Chelsea...

    Gawd knows with Dowie, probably playing rounders in a slip road on the A1

  •  As for Pardew never joining the club, at the time was there anyone who didn't think he was the man for the job ?  


    Me actually. I said at the time that West Ham weren't the sort of hire and fire 'em type club and that he was sacked for a reason i.e. he'd taken a far more talented sqaud than we had to the bottom of the Division.Equally I also gave him my 100% (110%?) backing on the basis that the board hadn't put a foot wrong until that time. Unfortunately, hindsight proved me right :-(

    I'm looking forward to fictional what could have been though!

  • If Dowie had stayed we would have won the League Cup .... and got relegated.

    A poster called Sailor Browneye expressed that view to general derision from the usual suspects.....

    I have to hold my hand up and say that I wanted Pardew at the time although I was very anti the Dowie appointment.
