@The Red Robin just for clarification, Jason Euell has a Pro License which was achieved around this time last year I believe.
Is Euell the only qualified manager at the club?
Currently I think so in terms of Pro License, unless Steve Avory has one? Jackson I believe may have his A License, we also have Keith Peacock too.
I was think Avory might also.
Not sure Jackson or Peacock have their badges.
Are there limitations on what Bowyer can do as he doesn't have the correct certifications?
Robbo may have had the correct certifications but he certainly had limitations.
For starters he obviously skipped most of the classes covering formations which is why he only ever played 4-2-3-1 until last week when someone showed him Roly's email to SCP detailing 4-4-2.
Just watched his interview on Valley Pass. Came across very very well. Seems calm and has his own ideas. I hope the new owners give him a chance
A chance at what ? He doesn't have the qualifications to be a full time manager, so the absolute most he can be given is until the end of the season, unless you mean a chance as Kewell's assistant ?

Pieces of the jigsaw?
Bow and Kewell have played and coached together before.
The emergence of Bowyer was the era when I had my season tickets, my unswerving devotion to the club. When Charlton was all that mattered. Funnily enough I never really took to Lee, despite his undoubted talent. However I wish him nothing but the very best.
Agree, Bowyer wasn't a loveable character back then, but he got stuck in and believed in his self. Can he get players who aren't as talented to perform ? So hard to call but 100% effort for 90 minutes would do for starters.
I hope he succeeds. In the days before we disposed of managers like they were confetti at a wedding I always thought a manager should get time to prove themselves. Three years sounds right to me. Bowyer is likely to get one game with a beat up squad on the slide. At the Blackpool away game Bowyer was the one being vocal with the players not Robinson. The reality is that long term damage can't be fixed in a matter of days. The best we can hope for is new manager bounce.
I haven’t had the time to read this thread, so I presume this has already been covered. It’s possible that LB’s position will be secure under the new ownership but I really hope that JJ is retained on the coaching staff when hopefully this takeover is completed. He is Charlton through and through and has a heartfelt connection with the fans. My guess is the majority of Addicks feel the same way. In the meantime let’s get behind Lee Bowyer and JJ and hope for a minor miracle.
I liked his low key, getting on with the job, approach without badge kissing or OTT statements.
More Curbs than Pardew so far.
But as with any manager "just win games"
That's your 'Manager' thread equivalent of WIOTOS isn't it. I get what you mean, but it's slightly reductionist. We'd never have anything to waffle on about if we all took that approach.
Watching him as a young lad playing for us was a pleasure going to watch him as his first manager role seems the right thing to do looking forward to heading down there

Not at all reductionist.
It's about not being diverted from what actually matters by nonsense such as "passion" or "possesion".
As you know other teams often complained that Jimmy Seed's 1930s team were "lucky" because they played counter attacking football so had less possession or shots. But he won games. End of.

I guess you have to do what you have to do to achieve your goal, promotion in our case. We'd all love to do it with a bit of style though.
But yeah you're right, I'd take promotion right now, even if we'd played in the Wimbledon style to get it.
Passion can help though, as can possession, but of course it's no guarantee of success.

Just like Curbishley and Lawrence you mean and they seemed to do ok.

I don't think CE is writing Bowyer off because he doesn't have the badges, he is merely pointing out that he is not allowed, according to the rules, to be made full time manager without them.

No reason why he can't take his badges in the summer presuming he doesn't already have some form of coaching qualifications.

"We will be exciting and competitive but I can’t tell you my formation because I might as well ring their manager and tell him."
I like the idea that we will be exciting and competitive.
We haven't seen that for a while.
No point keeping your formation secret, Lee.
Red Henry's already spilled the beans.
Bow and Kewell have played and coached together before.
Then he kindly told them the team each game at least an hour before KO.
But Red Henry is rarely wrong.
