Here's a list of managers who have been in charge of Charlton this century. It is, of course, depressingly long. 

I've ranked them in order of their win percentages. 

Kevin Nugent — 50.0%

Johnnie Jackson — 45.5%

Lee Bowyer — 45.5%

Nathan Jones — 43.0%

Chris Powell — 42.4%

Dean Holden — 39.2%

Alan Curbishley — 38.2%

Karl Robinson — 36.5%

Alan Pardew — 35.9%

Phil Parkinson — 34.3%

Guy Luzon — 32.4%

Nigel Adkins — 31.4%

Karel Fraeye — 28.6%

José Riga — 25.0%

Bob Peeters — 25.0%

Iain Dowie — 23.1%

Les Reed — 16.7%

Keith Peacock — 0.0%

Curtis Fleming — 0.0% 

To provide added context, the managers in bold are those who have improved Charlton's league position over three consecutive seasons. 

Wheres Appleton?

He's off taking "acting" lessons.

Russell Slade is patiently waiting for someone to bother to work out his stats and Ben Garner (who?) is currently teaching PE (badly) to classes at infants school.

Any well-run club should have a succession plan in place. I’d hope Carter, Rodwell etc. at least have a shortlist they’d target when the time comes.

The best sports organisations aren’t afraid to make those decisions early.  

Think it's more a hallmark of some of the worst run organisations, including us in recent years

It's almost like people have forgotten we had 15 permanent managers in 10 years!

I would suggest we need to get the leadership structure sorted pronto - how long have we been looking for a CEO again?

We lack knowledge and experience in sports leadership. Thats not a dig it’s just a fact.

You don’t really want to be going through fundamental processes like changing a manager without it.

The CEO thing is odd and Carter didn’t really give answer the last time he was quizzed on it.

The only thing I can think of with Carters non answer is someone is working their notice period elsewhere and they don't want to go early on an announcement like with Murphy
