I've been supporting Charlton for over 40 years and the common factor for our most successful years is appointing from within the club or managers with a connection to SE7.

A good read, nice one. you mention “ the fans expect young players to get opportunities in the first team...” Well if NA is given the job, he does have history of doing this, so could be good? I’m looking to be positive and get behind the decision.
I very much agree that I feel more comfortable with a "Charlton" man in charge. But that might be heart ruling head, even though I don't see any viable outside candidate who I would leap at the chance of being in charge.
Either of those two would be nice. I thought Jacko looked like a rabbit caught in headlights the other night but that’s understandable given the circumstances. Nevertheless, he stepped in and stepped up, shame about not making the effort to dress appropriately and make the most of showing he’s in charge. Saturday will be the game which will tell us if he’s ready or not. No shame if he isn’t just yet.

Thought he looked good on the touchline. Stylish bloke is JJ.
No room in business for sentiment or fluffing, we need a man in to do a job that has tasted promotion before. Jason & Johnny may be names for the future but let them learn their trade somewhere else before returning.

both euell and jacko were in the league 1 promotion squad, euell has been in promotion sides before, they know what it takes to get out of this division and how to get promoted out of the championship.
Imo it's riskier bringing in a "known" name and them failing, than it is taking a chance on a novice manager and then failing.

And if he took his guitar out with him he could serenade the fourth official instead of giving him dog's abuse like all the other managers.
We might start getting more decisions in our favour ...
The common denominator there is also that they were in charge under poor ownership and management
The same poor ownership and management for 8 of those 11!
Don't think you can say Dowie was under poor ownership and management. He was given £12m to spend - he bought Andy Reid who was brilliant, and Diawara who was satisfactory enough that we got most of our money back a year later. The rest of the money he might as well have set fire to.

Don't think you can say Dowie was under poor ownership and management. He was given £12m to spend - he bought Andy Reid who was brilliant, and Diawara who was satisfactory enough that we got most of our money back a year later. The rest of the money he might as well have set fire to.
Totally off topic but didn't we try and sign Faye and Traore in winter but Murray said we couldn't afford them?
History also says that we probably would never of had Lennie, Curbs, Parkinson or Bowyer etc as managers at all if we had had the money or the motivation to actually look for someone else. Some time it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Seed and Lawrence weren’t former Charlton players. It’s not the only way we can be successful.

Dowie
Reed
Parkinson
Riga
Peeters
Matthew
Luzon
Fraeye
Slade
Nugent

Eleven managerial appointments. Zero promotions.
