Thanks and Good Luck Chris

Good luck Chris, and thanks for all you have done. Just wish that one of our owners had the foresight to invest money in you . You will not be out of work for long and wish you all the best

Very sad day absolutely gutted

Thanks Chris for embodying what football means to many of us fans. Loyalty , passion , leadership, are all adjectives that were made for you. I remember you as a player. You were nothing if not dependable , solid , committed, with great timing as a tackler. For many of us we wonder where football is going.....I was talking to a coach of a junior side in the pub last week. He talked of the values that he hoped to instill in his young team. Values that enable people to survive and thrive as human beings , not just as footballers.

Its hard to see much of that at the higher level of football these days, but somehow you embody a large slice of those values, not least the quiet dignified way that you go about your business. No histrionics, two bit power-plays or slurs from you, but rather a core of self belief and strength and a humility and generosity towards others. Very few fans can boast a manger who loved and respected their club in the way you have and I am sure still do. We have been very fortunate to have you.

I have no concerns about your future. You will go on to do great things. Of that I am sure. You have leader written all over you. Although I am sure there is a sense of sadness and possibly even a hint of failure in your mind and heart today. Rest assured for most of us on here , the loss is most definitely Charlton Athletic Football Clubs.

Thank you Chris. In the 20 years I've followed Charlton you are by far and away the one player I will hold the fondest memories of.

Gives me pride to say that I will one day be telling my unborn children and grandchildren about 'Sir Chris Powell'

You'll always be a king in these parts.

It will be a long time before we can feel so proud again to be associated with Charlton Athletic

Thank you Chris. You deserve much better than this and I'm sure you will have lots of future success. It's just a shame it won't be with Charlton. Good luck in everything you do.

Thankyou for bringing our Charlton back, with Charlton-like players, and then having it all needlessly destroyed when promoted. Oh what might have been with just a bit more money. You're better off out now, Chris. Thank you and good luck.

Thanks for everything Chris. It must have been very difficult for you to work with both hands tied behind your back and to see the club you obviously love dismantled around you. Good luck for the future. You deserve it !!

Chris, you deserve better than this but the way you have handled the last 12 months or so has been with dignity and integrity. The majority of fans are aware of the circumstances you've had to work under and while none of us like the position we're in we know that when supported properly by the board you have always delivered.

We'll miss your tunnel jumps, your smile and the general positive vibe you've brought to the club. The team spirit that bonded both the players and fans. The honesty and humour that's missing in so many managers these days.

Your career I'm sure will continue on an upward curve. I'll be watching and wishing the best wherever you go (well... if you go to Palace I'm afraid I won't but you know what I mean!). I just hope that we're not watching you from a lower division.

I fear for the future of Charlton Athletic but I don't fear for the future of Chris Powell. One day when you're managing in the upper parts of the Premier League, or even England, we'll be able to look at you and say to each other "he's one of us".

Charlton Legend.

Respect and good luck gaffer, and to all of your back room staff that might be leaving with you.

I think I speak for the majority of us when I say - absolutely gutted.

Thanks Chris for everything. Your passion for the club really did put smiles back on faces. I look forward to following you and Charlton for years to come.

Many thanks for all the good times you gave me whilst you were at Charlton. Seeing you run out in your England shirt was amazing. Your celebration from the tunnel after we'd won always kept on a smile on my face as I left The Valley.

You were a great player for Charlton, a very good manager (they didn't give you time to cement your place with the greats), and more importantly than both of those, a thoroughly nice bloke, a true gentleman. It may be a long time before we see your like again.

True Charlton legend I hope you are treated better where ever you go next. I am sure you will also be a huge success, the vast majority of us are sad beyond words to see you go. Good luck and thank you! X

Thank you Sir Chris Powell. Charlton Legend and future England manager

Thanks Chris.

My all time favourite memory of football at the Valley was your unlikely goal in your final game against Coventry! I remember the ball bouncing across the box, almost in slow motion, like it was yesterday. Everyone around us could see you were going to intercept it, and when it hit the back of the net - the whole place erupted. I've never seen anything like it, before or since.

The integrity you brought to managing the club will be sorely missed. I doubt we'll get another like you for a very long time.

All the best with whatever you go on to do - but please, please, please, don't ever manage Palace!

Thanks Chris, you gave us a club again. Siging we got out Charlton back vs hartlepool was a momentous moment. I'm devastated
