Chris Powell - He Deserves a Welcome

I know to post this is very inflammatory but I have been sickened by the comments of some of my fellow addicks. We have won two games very comfortably - which is fabulous, however to see people saying that Powell doesn't deserve a clap, was a rubbish manager for us ect all of a sudden because things are looking a little rosier is truly disheartening.

I see it every season, when we are winning everyone loves the manager. When we lose it's a slagging off fest. I love Charlton as much as the next person and it hurts me to say this I don't think that there is another club that has fans as fickle as ours. How could we forget the man who worked himself to death for us and achieved incredible things; I'm not talking about league one here but more about how everyone thought we were going to go straight back down but ended up finishing 3 points off from the playoffs the season after. Not to forget the next season when CP took us to the quarters and kept us within 3 points of safety with 4 games in hand. If you can remember how empty the club was before he came then you should know how he saved us. We didn't sing "We've got our Charlton back" during his speech for nothing.

So on Saturday (not sunday!) lets back the team but also try to show some appreciation for a man who put everything into the club he loves. I think an applause in the third minute is in order to remember the good times SCP gave us. It only feels right.

COYR and full support for the Charlton; past and present.

    During the game he's the opposition manager, nothing more.

    I understand that but I don't see how 1 minute of applause is going to do any harm.

    Precisely, support the club during the game not the man

    He briefly gave us our charlton back before his limitations as a manager, mainly tactical, were exposed. It remain to be seen how he would have done had he been backed in the championship. I was critical of his tactics. But he bled for our club and was a thoroughly decent human being. For those reasons I will be applauding him to the rafters.

    No.
    If anything he should get an applause before the game and I think that's pushing it tbh.

    There is talk of 'our' Charlton, and the sometimes unique values we Charlton fans have, and our feel for the important things. It is because we're Charlton that Chris Powell ought to get a fantastic reception on his first return, and I think he will.

    absolutely. Its our charlton.

    He can have a quick clap as he comes out the tunnel and acknowledges everyone. Then he can be clapped off at the end if we win. Followed by a oooooo to see if he will do a tunnel jump.

    Applauding Powell during the game ... hero worship gone too far, Pre match he deserves applause, but during the game he is the opposition manager. He won't get pelters during the match but he should not get applause.

    He deserves exactly what Curbs got - a big defeat and thats what I am hoping for.

    Didn't he get that just after he was sacked?

    Course not but they won't be staring over at him winking and giving him the double thumbs up throughout the game. Well I'd hope not anyhow! ;-)

    The first England /Charlton international in my lifetime a huge part of our Premiership success a true gent
    no matter what your opinion of him as a manager the above makes him a true Charlton Legend as far as I am concerned
    and i will be a bit emotional on Saturday for the return of a class act who i'd love to be in our dugout but times change and managers move on but my memories produced by him will be in my heart forever
    I love you SCP

    Should I work on the principal that you are a grown adult with a life beyond your undoubtedly well worn seat at The Valley ?
