Some of your reactions on are here are a embarrassment !
Ive seen threads of "contacting the club" .. "lets all protest" blah blah
I have just seen someone say " we should all stand up Wednesday and turn out back to the players " - wow... wow... WOW
seriously wtf is wrong with half of you lot ? i support CHARLTON ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB , not Chris Powell , i love the guy dont get me wrong , do i feel its a little harsh? granted but to protest ? don't be ridiculous!.
The negativity on here is a joke, no wonder the guys on ITTV forum mock us ? its embarrassing how we act to things we don't like , Chris is gone now onto Jose, he may not be our choice but end of the day its not our choice to make, we are bottom of the championship ( yes don't get me wrong 4 games in hand but that is not 12 points guaranteed ) we are in this position because we have not been good enough all season, with Yann , Dale and Ben
We need to get behind the boys & Jose we may not like it but the last thing we should do is protest
Ill be there Wednesday cheering on the 11 that's out there,Ii wont be doing any stupid protests.
Please many of you grow up, or go support Chelsea you can give me abuse as much as you like for my outburst , I really don't care
( im not a powell out guy , i wanted him to stay but he didnt .. oh well)

You're entitled to your opinion others are entitled to ours.
I've calmed down a bit now but do not like the cowardly treatment meted out to an honourable, hardworking professional man who has given much to Charlton Athletic.
I am therefore boycotting the Huddersfield game as a personal mark of respect to Chris Powell. An empty stadium, in my opinion, would speak volumes but I am one person and it is evident that many are delighted with the turn of events so I act for myself and no other.

Players dont need our support, theyll be gone season in season out.0

Someone on another thread seriously suggested he would support the opposition if Powell comes to the valley as manager of another side. Unbelievable!5

I will be going tomorrow, but am with you 100% Len. I hope we keep the 100% suport banner up for Chrissy. And I hope that one day he will come back as our manager!3

I am sad about Powell. I disagree with the decision. I'd like to see him have a crack at Championship level with some support from his directors.
However, the protest angle may very well be incredibly important in regards to the bigger picture. I.e the plans for the next five years of Charlton Athletic. What embarrasses you might possibly be what helps save the club you love from becoming a reserve team for Standard Liege. Making it clear to our club's owners that we won't take it lying down is crucial. Fortunately, there are better-sighted supporters than the OP or Scabby. And for that I'm thankful.3 -
I don't agree with the way that CP has been treated and I think that the more vociferous of the disappointed fans are those looking beyond what has happened to one man and what it means beyond the surface and concerns over the future direction of the club.
I do agree that we need to get behind the players and the new manager for the rest of the season as relegation still needs to be avoided.
As for what ITTV say and their "mocking", does anybody on here really give a flying one?5 -

That was me and I stand by that for a one-off fixture. Powell's treatment has been appalling and I'd like him to rub Duchatelet's nose in it and show just what a good manager he is.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Someone on another thread seriously suggested he would support the opposition if Powell comes to the valley as manager of another side.

Im afraid the only person your supporting by "just going with it" Is a man who wants puppets to make us a standard feeder club. I support a man who has passion commitment and cared about the club not this Prick who has come in sold our best players sacked the best manager we had in years and has left us on the brink of relegation. This takeover was cursed from the start. I for one will not support that belgium Twat!!

I agree and I think the decision to sack him was the right one given where we are in the league. However what I and many others are angry with is RD. This guy is a joke and couldn't care less about the club.... Just his wallet!! And what we have to think of is the knock on effect. Can't see players like poyet and cousins staying now. Won't be Charlton soon, just be full of Standard Liege rejects. Can't believe this idiot is the owner of our great club!!!1

May I ask what the goal is of an empty stadium and the volumes that it will speak are?LenGlover said:You're entitled to your opinion others are entitled to ours.

That is a genuine question. I'm not saying that you are wrong to want to 'speak volumes' I just wonder what your goal is?0 -
quality opening post.
Len - seriously mate??, you are boycotting tomorrow night as a personal mark of respect to Powell WTF ?? and you will support the Oppo next time he comes to the Valley as a Manager?!?!?

At this present moment it feels like we're expected to be supporting Sub Standard Liege not Charlton Athletic, that is the issue for many of us.7
-
People were saying the powell out guys want us to lose (which obviously wasnt the case) and were saying it was appalling. now its the powell in guys that want us to get relegated, have an empty stadium because they dont like RD and want it to be a bad decision. Just laughable3
-
Can't agree, very disappointed with this decision to sack Powell, the reported manor in which this has been done is classless, unfortunately what we are now accustomed to as Addicks. My motivation to watch an unknown manager coach a group of loan players is not great. Not what I am used to as a Charlton fan. Do I want to get used to it? No!0

My attitude towards the future is more of the 'go on then, prove yourself', and I suspect many feel the same, but with much less inclination to help by attending matches and making any noise.
We are where we are, and if Riga delivers big time, especially arriving in these circumstances then he will have done incredibly well to save us I won't argue that.
However at the moment my view is that he has to prove himself before he gets any slack.
We can start by getting a win tomorrow and a win on Saturday, for me anything less is failure.

100% Support for Charlton Athletic do you seriously think Chris Powell would want you to boycott /protest because he's been sacked ?0
-
I support Charlton.
But there has to be a line drawn in the sand when a club is just not the club it used to be.
The values, the owners, players and the fans are what make a club, not the name on a shirt.
Is this the club I've spent the past 20 years in supporting?
Do I want to support a club who's run to profit another club's future / fortunes / players?
A team who picks players not by their individual merit but by looking at their wages / values?
Players who are motivated by the hope of getting in Standard Leige's first team.
Did I grow up supporting a club with such little regard to it's fans?
When I'm at the Valley and a moron is screaming "you're sh***t" at the latest scapegoat.
Don't get me wrong, it will always be my team but little by little, it chips away at my love of football and the club.
Next season, with a manager who's put in place to play the owner's bigger interests, with a team I won't know or have any affinity with, is playing. Is that the same club I started supporting all that time ago?
It looks like Charlton, but it's not the same.23 -
Well said Lurker. The original poster fails to take into account people's sense of loss over the PERSON and his associated values.0
-
It's not the fact that people are overreacting, it's more to do with the fact that Roland has his yes man in place, we will lose our Charlton to a team of players from RD's network of clubs - people like Hamer, Jackson etc will be gone, that can't be a good thing0
-
Should have read what lurker posted first because that is spot on0
-
Poyet, Cousins, Hamer, Solly etc will all go in the summer to be replaced by no hopers who cannot make the squad at Leige.
The reaction in general against Roland is to be expected and the lead article in this thread misses the point.
If Powell had been given millions and a free run with the team then the sacking would not have been met with such disapproval. However it has been made after the best players were taken away, players of low ability given to him and no money to spend.
As it stands the administration that we would have faced without the bloke from Belgium is looking a better prospect than the one we have, going down anyway!2 -
Maybe he wouldn't, but i do so that's important to me. You can either speak out against what's wrong in life or bury your head in the sand.Beckboy said:100% Support for Charlton Athletic do you seriously think Chris Powell would want you to boycott /protest because he's been sacked ?

Unbelievable! (Good post BTW CharltonByBlood)
The reaction to the sacking has been ridiculous, Like Dianas death or Mandelas etc.
Some of your comments and talks of protests and boycotts are absolutely cringeworthy.
Powell has gone, it was a decision made by the board......end of, now let's move on to a new (hopefully successful) era under the new manager.
Who do you support Charlton Athletic or Chris Powell?8
