Good luck to Powell & Dyer - I would love to see them back here but not under this regime. The Huddersfield man wants "excitement" back - well given their meagre resources that excitement is likely to consist of joining us and Rotherham in the relegation scrap.
Though RD has sacked him before so he's officially part of the network...hmmmm.
I like Chris Powell enough to say to him move on for now and if charlton actually in some fantasy world under the current regime did come a calling, then reject those advances and continue what is hopefully a long successful managerial career in this storm of an unforgiving untrustworthy unloyal unfaithful world they call football today.
Hope Powell gets another job soon as possible. Big club in league 1 he can take them up and gradually shape it how he wants given.
^ TBF that's the only way anyone can manage a club.

she is more qualified than KF is to be our head coach.

Hell, I'd take Colin Powell at this rate, at least he is not part of the Network.
Up here in 'Udders, my Town mates have been berating him since last season because of what they perceived as negative tactics. Mind you, they were over the moon when they beat us and strung a few results together. That was his problem - inconsistency. Hope he finds a new job soon. However, with opportunities for black managers being sparse I fear for his prospects.
I'd imagine that's the end of his managerial career. He tried but failed at 2 clubs now. A good man and a nice guy but hasn't got what it takes to be a manager.

I mean I don't want to sound like a broken record, but how exactly did he fail at Charlton?

Errr, we were bottom of the league playing shite football. Do you really need an explanation?

Not getting drawn into the "would he/wouldn't he" debate though.
But sincerely hope both SCP (yes, SCP !) and Alex find a Club that appreciates their dedication to the Beautiful Game & an owner who will give them the financial backing they deserve.
Good luck, guys.
Chris and Alex can come and manage my Sunday team (just to keep their hands in...). My boys will love it and it'll give me a rest from doing it. 30 years of saying the same sh*t when we're losing at half-time is getting a bit boring for me and the players!

I think that's more Karel Fraeye's area of expertise.
As he has already managed under RD, does that make him an honorary Belgian, and therefore qualify him to be our head coach? Seriously, I would not expect this, and he would not accept the transfer arrangements that RD would want and be honest, if RD was ready for a non-Belgian head coach, there are better options out there, but would they work for RD?

I'm not going to argue with your comment on the football we played, as we never played the most attractive football under Powell. But yeah if a 40% win record over his tenure, winning a league title with record points, finishing 9th in the league above the following year is counted as a failure then you have some pretty ridiculous high standards for a manager to be counted as a success.
Also, once again, yes we were bottom of the table, but we had 4 games in hand.... FOUR games.
Would love it if we were to get powell back, at least it would be a manager that evoked some positive emotions and one we could feel an affiliation with. Not going to happen. Good luck to him
Mixed reaction up here, the camp is pretty much split 50 / 50 (or maybe slightly 55 / 45 he should have gone.
The football has been atrocious to watch, absolutely dire. Our attendances have plummeted as a result (we were getting more in league 1 such is the mood re match day enjoyment).
This season we have started with 3 wins in 16.
Last season we ended with 3 wins in 17
Yes we have sold some key Players, we have also brought some quality in though (granted mainly on loan). Really good Players the likes of Emyr Huws who was transferred to Wigan for £3m a year ago. Jamie Paterson from Forest, Mustapha Carayol from Borough etc.
The ones we sold were also here last season when we finished with 3 wins out of the last 17.........(so this argument doesnt stack up).
Defend, defend, defend and usually set out to not lose a match rather than try and win it (which is reflected in a lot of draws). Our quality is more in our attacking Players and not our defenders thus this approach is flawed. We simply cannot rely on keeping a clean sheet to try and win a match.
The timing is strange as for once, he set us up last night at Reading to actually try and win a match, a much more positive Team selection and formation. We played really well as a result. If only he had done this more I believe he could have done really well for us.
I wish him well and to be honest, I am not sure he will be that bothered. Never got the impression he setlled and I believe his family are still in the London area. I think on reflection he will be looking forward to another opportunity closer to home. His popularity and standing in the game means he wont have to wait long.
He wouldn't come back under RD/KM, and I wouldn't want him to suffer that shit again anyway. But I really don't get the Charlton fans that slag off CP and his record here. He wasn't and isn't the greatest manager but he was and is a totally genuine and passionate guy who loved our club, did right by us fans and got more right than wrong in his tenure here.
Correct. The people that snipe at him even now - as fans of a team in terminal decline and four points adrift of safety at the beginning of NOVEMBER - are, to a man, morons.

Great grasp of reality that........we were losing games hand over fist we were only heading one way, and thats not up..........if you cant see that then theres no point in having this debate (again)

It's like being single and limiting your search for a new partner to the ropiest women you already know and your ex.

Anyway Carol has got the gig.
When you back him, he delivers.
