  • Here’s hoping this is utter codswallop.
  • He's played for them and they aren't an utter basket case like Charlton. Rumours we always going to start at some point.  
  • There's no meat on the story, yet it is entirely plausible.  Are Brum safe from relegation / points deduction?  If we go down, I would expect Bowyer to be attracted to a 'life-changing' move.  
  • You would't blame him for wanting to leave but for Birmingham? No Chance

    Aren't they?  I think thier current manager would argue they are, in fact he would probably tell you to "speak to the CEO". 
  • Let the Birmingham press make him favourite

    I wouldn't worry until the bookies make him massively odds on favourite

    2/1 with skybet I aint to concerned yet, someone else gets linked and people start putting money on them and that will quickly change lol
  • Bowyer would be mad not to go at the end of the season. He’s put up with so much nonsense in his time with us, he must be so sick of it. Now with Lyle and Solly letting him down very publicly I can’t understand why he’d want to stay. If we stay up and Varney comes in sharpish there’s a chance but beyond that the only thing that might stop him is the fact Brum are never far away from controversy themselves. 
    Good points there. Yet it seems that Bowyer feels genuinely attached to the club where he began his playing and managerial careers. The division we are in next season is bound to have an impact on how he realises his ambitions.  If we are faced with Rochdale and Accrington, a vast increase in salary at a Championship club will surely be enticing. 
  • I think there is more chance of him jacking it all in and concentrating on his not inconsiderable fishing business. Also to be taken very seriously  Sevenoaks or The North? I’m bias but come on.

  • Bowyer has a youngish family, so someone more local would have a chance or big money from elsewhere 
  • It will depend on how confident he is in our new ownership.

    Let’s be honest here. Birmingham City as a football club are a far better bet than Charlton in meeting the aspirations of a young manager. Certainly for the foreseeable future. At the moment Charlton are staring down the barrel of relegation to league one and serious possibility of sanctions that might jeopardise even league one status. It’s even quite possible that Charlton Athletic’s existence is in doubt. Bowyer is an ex Birmingham City player and played most of his career living away from London. Thinking that Lee wouldn’t jump the holed below the water, ship that is Charlton is very hopeful. I’m guessing this is nonsense anyway but who would blame him for leaving after what’s our club has put him through?

    I dispute that they are a far better bet, especially as Charlton is convenient for him personally and he's not desperate for the work anyway

    As a club they've had years of problems off the pitch, and on the pitch are only 8 point ahead of us anyway
  • We were told it was stated his last contract was a massive increase possibly x6 his money.  so I’m guessing he is on at least £400,000 with us.  That’s not exactly peanuts is it.  

    True he might not get paid though... 
  • It would be a shame if he left but I don't think he'd be the most terrible loss. We always seem to have an intelligent and resourceful deputy in the wings and I'd back Jacko to keep us up
  • Hell, I'd even back Euell if Jacko left too (I doubt he would)
  • Very unlikely he'll be here next season, unless two things happen, we stay up and we get decent new owners. Not looking very likely to be honest.

    I feel abit sorry for Euell, I always thought he was gonna be the next Charlton manager(before Jacko was assistant) but if Bowyer leaves can see that being Jacko now

    Euell’s turned it down on at least one occasion I believe. Think he’s a very smart cookie and is planning each step of his career very carefully. 
  • Unless Peter Varney is part of the new ownership structure by the middle of Summer, I think we've probably all seen Charlton playing under Bowyer for the last time already.

    I think you're jumping the gun there.  Of course Bowyer wants more resources, yet I sense that he relishes the challenge of putting up a fight.  And from the point of view of us, the supporters, he is exactly the man to do it, the man most likely to steer us away from the drop.  Like everyone else, I'm champing at the bit for Saturday...

    After everything he has said about being on a journey with the club and us the fans, I don’t believe he would leave before the end of the season in any circumstance.

    I assume he meant that we've probably seen Charlton play under Bowyer for the last time in terms of fans physically attending games.

    Bowyer definitely isn't going to leave before this season ends. 
  • Brum's owners change managers more often than their underwear .. even so, if the fuck up currently in play at the Valley does not improve very soon AND we are relegated, I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to take the job, IF offered
  • you could say that Brum change managers as often as we do owners

    Seriously , do people believe the soundbites that managers and players say .
    Of course at that point in time the manager/player may feel like that but slap a juicy contract in front of them for another club that suits their personal circumstances and arrivederci Charlton Athletic
