To be reported in the mirror and the express tomorrow so I am told. Not exactly what we want to hear but the longer our excellent form continues, the more chance rumours like this will resurface.
Just shows what a great job Lee is doing. Highly doubt he will be interested in taking over a side near enough nailed on for relegation already (IMO).

Good luck even getting through Sandgaard to speak with Bowyer!!
We've got a decent owner now so these things dont bother me anymore

Would be a really bizarre choice for a team in the Premier League, as well as Lee has done.8
-
ex-WBA comms man says Bowyer interviewed with them “last time” which I assume to mean when they appointed Bilic.0
-
He didn't go in the summer when we were a mess and there was serious interest, I'm told.
Never say never but can't see it happening just yet.20 -
Can’t see it as Bowyers got a long term project but if he is tempted step up Jacko!0
-
Lee has stayed when we were a basket case and other teams were interested, doubt he would want to leave now we have stability.
Bit bizarre that team in the Premier League would look to poach a manger from League One, planning already for the Championship possibly3 -
We could be in the same league again in 6 months!18

Just said exactly this to my mate. I feel like Lee isn’t a conventional ‘career manager’ he fell into managing charlton and has an affiliation with the club. I can see him leaving for say West Ham or Leeds in the future (if they were interested in him of course) but like to think he wants to really build something at Charlton and finally has the resources to do that.MattF said:Lee has stayed when we were a basket case and other teams were interested, doubt he would want to leave now we have stability.

Not particularly worried myself, but has been years since I started a thread!22 -
Really can’t see Bowyer leaving us anytime soon. With Sandgaard now our owner I truly believe that Lee will want to stay at a club he obviously adores to see how far he can take us. The journey is nowhere near its end.7

He has already turned down serious offers.
I don't think he'll go just yet.0 -
Worth looking at why Bilic has fallen out with the board at West Brom, if it's over transfer policy then I can't imagine that makes the job particularly attractive to Bowyer who's had enough of that alre0
-
We are still on LB’s journey and we are now right back on track. He is going nowhere.0
-
Is Bowyer included in the wage cap? If not, I'm sure Thomas would sort this out.0

It was mainly because Hagazi was sold behind his back the day off a game, rumours were he was considering walking before the game with BrightonMattF said:Worth looking at why Bilic has fallen out with the board at West Brom, if it's over transfer policy then I can't imagine that makes the job particularly attractive to Bowyer who's had enough of that alre0 -
Be very surprised if he went now, whereas 2 months ago I would have been amazed he stayed!
If he's not excited about what's going on at Charlton at the moment and wants to be part of it after all the work he has put in I would be amazed.4 -
Agreed, it's hard to imagine why Lee would do any better with Bilic's team than Bilic would. Unless they're hoping he can get the best out of Karlan Grant and Conor Gallagher!Callumcafc said:Would be a really bizarre choice for a team in the Premier League, as well as Lee has done.2 -
He has something at Charlton that money can’t buy, a fan base that will back him, as it did Chris Powell, when the team hits a rocky patch. Move on and hit a rocky patch and the fan base will turn against the manager long before the owner(s) do and he has a chance to turn it around. If he wants to build something then Charlton is the place to do it and be around to enjoy it.2

He wont go to.WBA. Once a blue remember......1

No hes gone on record as saying it would take "something special" to temp him away
I really dont think moving from the area you are from in the middle of a pandemic from a club you are happy with under a good owner to a yoyo club who sacked Darren Moore last year despite being 3rd will tempt him.
Obviously money would the only thing that could but even so , hes already got plenty. I dont think hes greedy.1 -

Bowyer doesn't need the money - he is not money driven.
If Lee wanted to leave he could already have done so when the Skint Sheikh and Matt "I Like Fake Tits?" Southall were making us a national laughing stock.
Bowyer is a very smart guy, he knows that WBA are going to be stuck in a relegation battle that they will probably lose - and he will be blamed for - so what's the point of going there?
WBA are a great club, very well run and a good fan base but where is the upside for Bowyer in going there?
What is there to achieve really that Bilic and other recent WBA managers haven't already achieved?
By comparison, he could be the first CAFC manager since Curbs way back in 2000 to take us back to the Premier League.
That's a very big difference.8 -
not worried0

Birmingham and West Brom get on like we do with Brighton.golfaddick said:He wont go to.WBA. Once a blue remember......2 -
Does he want back to back relegations on his CV ...
Imo he’s settled down in Kent with youngish children .
It would take a monster offer to leave the area or Gillingham ...
seriously he will go when it suits him , so if West Ham came in for him he’d be gone in a shot cos of location location location and that’s what we have going for us against the likes of West Brom .
of course the stability and ambitions of TS give us more attractiveness but Bowyer has stayed with us during the wank ownership because it suited him not because of some magical bond to the club that some fans believe exists between players/managers and our club.4 -
He is settled in the area with this family. Doubt he wants to move them.0
-
I don't think he will go to WBA, for all the reason pointed out above.
But I am not sure the "he didn't go when we were a basket case, so he won't go now" is accurate. No one would have blamed him if he had walked any time between March and September but maybe he knows that if he had what the consequences would have been, for the club.0 -
I think people might be underestimating the lure of managing in the premier league...3

totally agree, however I'd argue that there's a very high chance we'll be in the same league next season.......think long term Lee (which I think he is and will)J BLOCK said:I think people might be underestimating the lure of managing in the premier league...2 -
I do wonder if he was thinking of leaving, if this is where the pandemic would work in our favour.Elthamaddick said:

Without the crowds I wonder if there is less of a lure. Though let's face it, money does speak.0 -
Not sure Lee is motivated by money, otherwise I think he'd have left already4
