  • I thought Lennie lived in the Newport area, I take it that I am wrong.

    First time in charge on the touchline since 2012 with They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named

    Whether he took charge of a game with them, seeing he was in the role for just a week as Caretaker remains to be seen, if not then his last game would have been with Cardiff in 2005.

    All the best Lennie
  • Just taken on a dodgy scout as well I saw on LinkedIn earlier.

    Hmmm, sounds a bit fishy that.

  • Maybe he has kept his flat in Newport to rent out and has a holiday bolt hole or bedsit in Grimsby. Doubt he can ever get back to Sutton with prices as they now are.

    Or Petts Wood where he lived when he managed us way back.
  • 76 years old, give it up Len. Keep yourself active yes, but no idea why anyone would actively take on more stress at that age 
    I dunno mate - stepping in for a couple of games at Hartlepool is maybe easier than running the USA!!

    absolutely not & I’d rather have Lennie at The White House than either of them too!

  • Good luck to Lennie, a true Charlton great.

    My mate had a chat with Roy Hodgson at a do. Hodgson is a very close friend of Lennie’s and said that he’d moved up north.
  • Post game comments included the classic " when Charlton last got a penalty Jesus was still a carpenter" Highbury encounter goodness knows when - all his teams played such intelligence football

    He became a non exec director (an advisor) to Hartlepool in November 2022, so presumably that's when he moved up there.

    Indeed he's had a very nomadic career, whether as a manager, coach or advisor, and seem happy to go anywhere in the country.

    Goes to show he's widely respected.  Just a shame he could no have come back to us in some capacity years ago.
    The boat may have not been rocking so much.
  • Love Lennie - my first Charlton manager. 
  • LENNIE LENNIE LEN... LENNIE LENNIE LEN... LENNIE LAWRENCE SHOOOWWW

  • When at Boro he lived in Egglecliffe - maybe he kept his house there afterwards.
