There was a young man called Chris, Who not many people would diss, Not renewing his contract would seriously detract, But if we keep him, we’ll all be in bliss!

Yes it's a nice little end paulie, however I think it's done now. Powell has gone, I still love the guy but this poem should be left in the past. Powell read it, he loved it and his words were 'it cheered me up no end' this was when he was very unsure, quite rightly, of his future and he was obviously down. I put a smile on his face and let him know that we were mostly behind him and he left us knowing that, so job done.

Legend as a Charlton Player!
Legend as a Charlton Manager!
Who not many people would diss,
Not renewing his contract
would seriously detract,
But if we keep him, we’ll all be in bliss!
love it and love SCP
Just to let you know Chris Powell loved it, he said it made him laugh and cheered him up :-))
How many extra verses? I'd say 4 but my nan reckons 5.
Unfortunatly it never worked
And you was forced to leave
But you will always be loved
For wearing your heart on your sleeve
In your last season with us
You came close to bringing us a cup
Then Riga came and took over
And helped to keep the Addicks up
But for you the journey is over
You got us back on track
A club legend forever
Thanks for bringing our Charlton back
Cack, slack, flack, lack...
What rhymes with ability ?
Bit, fit, kit, hit, nit....
New owners came in
And rumours did fly
That they didn't want him
And it would soon be goodbye.
But they denied it
Saying Powell is our man
And instead we said goodbye
To Dale, Ben and Yann.
We were promised new players
To replace former stars
We tried big name signings
But our attempts hit the bar.
A striker from Poland
Another from Iran
An unfit midfielder
And the dreadful Thuram.
In the league we struggled
But there's always the cup
Perhaps we can make Wembley
Then hopefully stay up.
To Sheffield we wandered
But there it went wrong
A dismal cup defeat
And soon Powell was gone.
The fans were in mourning
And feeling beleaguered
They've sacked our icon
Who is Jose Riga?
We missed our legend
Things weren't the same
Whose fault were our problems?
Were the Belgians to blame?
But Riga was clever
He rallied the troops
We picked up the points
As other teams drooped
Eventually salvation
Three points did the trick
Watford defeated
To make Elton sick.
You'll always be a legend
Sir Chris Powell to us
Good luck for the future
Now in Jose we trust.
Why oh why oh why ?
Ease no more man love Powell threads. Bunny boilers.
and did alright in league 1
and towards the end of last season
but this year he was crap
He refused to adapt to a new boss
and got sacked
so a new guy came in
got on with what he had
and showed everyone where Powell was lacking
The end
It has a ring to it if you read it with a Flemish accent
