Really, why? You may mean it light-heartedly but i'm interested in why you would think that. He knows and represents the charlton spirit for many of us and some of us prefer to keep that spirit with us rather than move on form it. Did you never see him play? If you saw him play how did you feel when he played for England? What's to move on from?
now now, don't want to anger the majority of charlton fans.
Thought it quite amusing that when he was talking about losing 4 strikers from last season and not replacing them, having Yann and untried kids, no mention of Spongefoot. Seems even he's ashamed by that signing...............
The gaffer never disappoints & I for one am pleased I had the opportunity to see him tonight, looking as dapper & smiley as ever and on the way back ...sadly not in SE7 ( yet...)
I expect he's glad to get that first media appearance out of the way. All very dignified and diplomatic, as you'd expect. It's a fairly gentle and homely environment with Jacqui and old Brighty.

Bless his cotton socks.
I still keep thinking of him as "the gaffer" even though he has been gone 3 weeks. It's a title that suits him well.

Paul Ince to take legal action then...............

He'll always be the gaffer to me - the one & only.
i think sacking some one via phone call is a disgrace. He seemed to take a moment to think how he was going to word it, I wouldn't be surprised if he got an email through on his phone and had to make the phonecall to confirm himself.
He knew on Sunday that if he didn't use the joke keeper, he would be fired. He gambled, as he was unlikely to be sacked with a Wembley appearance or a home replay scheduled.
The gamble never came off (sadly).
Still, we may not have Wembley or Powell or Stephens or Yann, but we have Thuram/Reza/Pete and Riga, so I guess "the parting on the left is now the parting on the right".
And Riga has upset the keeper now by the look of it. Powell would have done the business for us if backed, but at least we look like we have a good man in as a replacement. He will always get a welcome at the Valley- even as manager of an opposing side. I wouldn't rule out him being back in charge someday.
Sometimes, if you can't say anything positive, it is better to say nothing at all. This isn't easy but Sir Chris showed what a big man he is. No point raking up old ground and being controversial and I'm sure he want the club to stay up. Top bloke - Charlton legend.

There was a much bigger gamble to play 4-4-2 with Cousins on right wing that some are conveniently ignoring. Sheffield United were on a roll and CAFC were (and still are) getting results with 4-5-1. Powell is a class act and I really hope he picks up a decent job over the summer and continues to learn his trade. I liked the programme and choose to believe what was said at face value. Why would I spend time speculating against the club I have supported for 40 years? Especially when we are in a relegation fight. What I really liked is that his answers tied with the supporters belief of what went wrong and when according to the Trust survey: it was all down to strikers leaving last summer taking goals out of the team... Quite simple this game really!
We were rubbish against United, but the game did hinge on us missing an open goal. The big problem is we are more likely to miss an open goal than score one at the moment - and as the whole point of football is scoring more than your opponents, it can be an issue. Losing key strikers at the start of the season and then Kermogant won't have helped.
To be honest, a bit part of me thinks that we have more chance of survival as a result of losing the cup match @ Sheffield. Not sure we would have had the focus to beat Bournemouth and/or Forest so already 4-6 points up on what might have been had we won that match.
