Lee Bowyer, Jackson and Steve Gallen appreciation thread

DiscoCAFC

Really impressed with the work they've done for us without the lack of support from Roland in terms of investment. They're making us play like an inteligent side and if we get promoted then this should be the best managerial achievement since Curbs.

IF/WHEN we get new owners I really hope they give Bowyer and Jackson a proper contract with investment! Imagine where we'd be if they had proper backing?

Add Steve Gallen to that appreciation society too

The connection between him and Bowyer seems so cruical yet feels a bit under rated at times - Dont think we'd have signed half the players in the summer had it not been for him - No discredit to Lee but having been out the game for a while I wonder how clued up he is at the moment with regards to youth players like Bielik / Cullen without the scouting from Steve

Two things come out of that interview.  First, he'll get headhunted by someone much higher up the league ladder than us.  Second, he's doing Katrien's job on probably a lot less money.

Excellent interview

Superb interview. Steve Avory is right to be added - so too should be Jason Euell. RD doesn't know just what a lucky man he is but by the time he does finally realise what a great club we are it will be too late.

If only we had a half decent owner we'd have the perfect set up that would genuinely stand a good chance of getting us back to the premier league. Fear this may end up as a huge opportunity missed.

Great interview. And to be fair, another Robinson appointment

Call me cynical, but I always thought Robinson wanted to surround himself with "Charlton people" to protect himself from the fans. Particularly after meeting with the "President " and Katie comments.

Well done to all.

Gallen wasn't a Charlton person. Indeed most people were baffled why he had appointed a QPR academy coach to lead our scouting and recruitment

I find it hard to believe how lucky we have been to have these three who work together so well.

Great interview!!... Do wonder if Lee regrets not getting into Management quicker or whether the break has helped

I think the break has helped, a few years in the "real world" 

A very good interview that. Really interesting to hear about how he's improved players like Williams and Taylor, I hope Albie Morgan is listening to him

Great interview.

Have heard from a very reliable source that Huddersfield wanted the trio and offered very good packages - but they all want to stay and continue the job.

You have to say there are a lot of clubs where the manager would up sticks and go but we do have a very special club - especially so at the moment

Losing all 3 would have been a disaster. It certainly helps that all 3 are Southerners, with their roots and families around London

How proud did that make you feel reading... “we are both Charlton men” FACT...,certainly tugged on my heart strings...

JJ & Bows take a bow...👏👏

FANnotCUSTOMER

Hats off to the 3 of them, they all bring something different and have there own unique qualities, they seem to have a great bond which creates an uplifting and infectious environment for all the players , especially the young ones

Long may this continue , enjoy the good times

I continue to be amazed by Lee and his whole approach. 

The three of them clearly compliment one another. 

It's pretty amazing.

He just works on the basics, a winning mindset and gameplan ..... and keeps it simple.

Who would have thought 2 years ago we would have such a brilliant managerial set up?
And all of them in different roles were already at the club!

The principle behind it all it is simple enough, it is the execution that is truly amazing.
