The biggest compliment I can pay Lee Bowyer was he is the only Charlton teenager I have seen grab the game by the scruff of the neck and run it. Loved every second of every minute he played for us, quality, quality player.
Lots of sanctimonious people on here. He is giving his time for free. He now has recently moved backed locally and he loves the game. As others have said he absolutely bossed games for us. Yes he made mistakes but he has grown up now. I'd play him against Millwall at the weekend if I could!
What's the norm for the amount of coaches a team normally has? KR, Barker, COl, JJ, GK coach and now Bowyer, ok know one is a specialist GK coach but 6 does seem too many.
I wonder how long Euelly will stick around. Not sure of the circumstances around him dropping back to the youth team role, and maybe he is happy working with the kids, but seems to me if you want a former premier league quality goal scoring midfielder to coach the current first team, then there is one with a proven track record as a coach already at the club.

Sorry didn't read it correctly first time. All I'll say is we have no idea how good Euell is as a coach. Could be that he is more adept at coaching youth and Bowyer has shown he is better with the first team.

He may want to work with the kids, he certainly seems to be doing a good job at the moment. We have more of an idea how good a coach he is that we do Bowyer, though.

If he can help improve our younger players that's fine by me
He was unlucky to be around at the same time as Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard and also very unfortunate to be at Leeds when they imploded.
Obviously the McDonalds thing didn't help him either but others (John Terry) did similar things and didn't pay the same price Bowyer did.
Be unlike us to appoint somebody under qualified
The sooner RD/KM/TH go, the better, but that doesn't stop me being pleased that one of my Valley favourites is back.

O'Loughlin
Clark
Bowyer
Plus Turner as GK coach.
On Jackson it was in one of the player meetings threads that he doesn't coach the first team.
definitely bring some fight to the side
