I always have mixed feelings about this sort of thing - Hopefully Charlton will be around for many hundreds of years yet to come
Yet what if four Managers in that time dwarf the achievements of Curbishley and Seed etc.
Should they take their respective stand names, as the only advantage Curbs and Seed have is they came before them
We’re junk our good times won’t dwarf them so won’t be a problem
if someone does the double over the scum then rename the ground after that unicorn manager .
seriously though , he is a top man
and Lennie is without doubt a Charlton god who consistently produced major miracles but he was only there a short time and left us for Middlesbrough where he made a low-ball bid for Robert Lee knowing how desperate we were to raise cash for our return to The Valley and that rankles with me .

also he barely mentions his time with us in his autobiography. I guess he has to mention us today as he's there.
Great news and a wonderful gesture that is well deserved. This new Thomas ownership just keeps on improving, this club is going places that's for sure!!

Last CAFC manager to do so - A. Curbishley, the PL years were easy compared to that. It’s the equivalent of Fergies 1999 treble being done every year for a decade.

Just a thought.....yes the Rob Lee low-ball bid was a bit cheeky but is that all Boro were prepared to pay? It was interesting that they didn’t come back with an improved offer. Also, as we needed the money at the time, maybe Lennie thought he was doing us a favour?
Lennie left us in the league where he found us resigning to go to Middlesbrough (a bit like Bowyer )
Curbs left us in a higher division and not to go to another job .
Lennie keeping us in the top flight for 4 seasons, with no money, and pitiful crowds at Selhurst was as big an achievement as anything Curbs achieved
A massive achievement deserving of recognition but not on a par with Curbs IMO.
It's hard to directly compare their achievements, as the clubs were in a very different position. We could easily have folded completely if we hadn't stayed up in 1987.

I think they came back further on with better bids but by this time Newcastle were in the equation and Boro had missed the boat . Lennie even admitted he fucked up not going in higher and getting him earlier on when he had a chance .

In the Alan Curbishley stand, I would recommend sitting half way up ?
You don't want to get too high or too low
Without Robin Michael there is no Llewelyn Charles ....
