Good luck Lee. Will never forget that day at Wembley. Think it's a good move for him and the club. Be nice to see Jacko/Euell given a chance, at least in the short term.
Really sad that Lee will leave having not properly heard the fans give him an ovation for holding things together until Sandgaard came in. Things might not have gone brilliantly on the pitch since then, but he deserved to walk out in front of a packed Valley and feel the gratitude of Charlton fans for keeping us alive in a horrible period. Hopefully one day we'll go up against him and he can get his due thanks, like Powell did when Huddersfield came round.
I suppose Bowyer may have the argument that he was about to be sacked which forced him to resign. We don't know what has been said and done between Sandgaard, him and possibly Roddy. If Sandgaard has been generally supportive, he could take legal action. If he wanted to.
Maybe Sandgaard was aware of this and his win is not having to pay off Bowyer's contract.
I don’t think anyone can be sure of the circumstances but as I said a few weeks ago, I suspect there’s probably been a level of known honesty between Sandgaard and Bowyer on next seasons plans, and I’m sure this change very much falls into the ‘best for both parties’ scenario.
It looks like Bowyer has joined Darren Moore in jumping ship from L1 to a Championship struggler. Personally I don't think it's a good move for either, as both Wednesday and Birmingham have major off field issues
Leaving on the back of 2 wins and 2 draws. A win tomorrow night could have taken us into the top 6. New manager needs to reach the playoffs or else we will boo the fucker out when we get back.
Oh don't be daft, that's totally counterproductive.
Please don't put anyone with any Charlton affiliation in charge of the club.
Get a manager with a strong tactical system and a shortlist of players ready to build the squad around.
None of this JJ/Euell nonsense. Will end up getting found out again like Bowyer did.
I agree with this. I feel we need a fresh start, someone with a new ideas and a different perspective, someone who's not been in and around the club the last few years.
If he leaves us for Birmingham it may, finally, end the forlorn drama of all those naive Charlton fans who expect/hope for loyalty in football. It doesn’t exist.
Bowyer was told some time ago we had to make the playoffs or he would be gone at the end of the season.
Birmingham have come in & he's jumped
so we've been crap for months & wouldn't do the honourable thing and resign.............but as soon as a job comes along that he has a chance of getting he jumps ship even before that Club have announced they've sacked their existing manager.
Thanks Lee for nothing. If he gone a month or so ago we might have had a sniff of the play offs, but too late now.
The new manager or caretaker manager should and will get all the necessary support they need. I personally believe in the squad we have and wouldn't write off the season, but that can't be an expectation. Some similarities to when Bowyer took over, in terms of it being a no lose situation.
We were 5 points behind the play offs with 11 games to go then!

His lack of tactical knowledge will get him found out. Unless he has experienced people around him at Birmingham I can't see it going well.

If it was up to me we'd get the Cowley's or Jason Euell in as our next manager.
Cheers Bows ❤️
