    just a scenario we get up this season to championship through playoffs, halfway through next season were sitting in 12th with robbo at the helm, do you bin him off to get scp in?

    I think if Robinson gets us promoted and has us mid-table in our first year back we'd be pretty happy with that wouldn't we?
  • If we'd been bought by new owners in December during our sticky spell, it's possible that they might have brought Powell in then, but now the takeover is likely to be after the transfer window has passed, and the team are starting to win again, it's most unlikely new owners would make a change before the summer anyway.

    Knowing what we know now about there being no money at all for transfers, refreshment of contracts, seeding the pitch even, casts the achievement of that season in an entirely new light. And certainly highlights SCP's own class, dignity and forbearance.

    We knew this at the time if you read CL.

    Fantastic news for SCP, I had hoped we'd see him back as our manager one day but none the less I'm glad he's back in management, he deserves it an I think he'll do Ok there, he's almost as much as a legend there as here.

    Seems to me if he felt he had any chance to be manager under new owners, he would not have taken this job. My guess each new owner has their own plans already, and none involved him at this time.

    Don't really care how exciting the football was under Powell - being able to turn up on a Saturday knowing the fans and players were all united under a common love for Charlton was exciting enough for me.

    This. And the football was pretty good given the circumstances, we had some really memorable wins home and away. Those saying otherwise are trying to find things to criticise whether it is some kind of coping mechanism for them or whether they simply like being obtuse I'm not sure.

    Good luck Chris. I hope Southend have the second best form in League 1 between now and the end of the season.

    would do us a favour too if they went on a winning run.

    Southend are not a threat to 6th place.

    Plymouth Argyle will come good.

    He's just getting warmed up for his big return to Charlton.

    In many scenarios I'm reading it's simply because some people have something against those that post regularly on here and will therefore automatically take the opposing stance, no matter how illogical it is. Particularly with a couple doing the rounds on social media.

    Coincidentally, also the types that have something against CARD.

    Only they can explain why.

    Give it a break Canters, wassa matter with you?,it wasn't just me who said the football was turgid. And imo , it was !! - but i'm not arguing about his record (take away his first season, and his time at Huddersfield) so that leaves only really 1 season where he got it 'right'.

    Wow, there's some real Powell bible bashers on here.

    Good luck, legend. Hope it goes well over there.
  • Took my 10 year old to football for the first time under SCP. Saw 13 away wins in 14 games. She's never looked back. If it hadn't been for SCP and what he built, she could have been lost to the Wendies, Pigs or something plastic. Having a kid grow up 200 miles from your club takes some cementing. SCP did that for me with my girl and i'll never forget that season or what him and his team did for football supporting in my family. I still struggle to think of his swinging from the crossbar at Hillsborough without getting a lump in my throat. Legend in our house. The very best of wishes.
  • Powell should've waited... He'd have done well down here.

    Kermorgant, Solly, Wiggins, Morrison, Jackson, Wright-Phillips, Stephens - all players that Powell made regulars in the side and got the best out of.

    Hard to understand how watching those names play regularly in a Charlton shirt wasn't 'entertaining'. What exactly are you expecting when you follow a small club like ours'?

    Yes, and I have an interest about how Chris is doing. Nothing wrong with following his progress. A good bloke who was dealt a rough one by RD. I hope he'll do ok at Southend.
