Chris Powell on Talksport tonight

Powell hasn't said anything in that interview, that he hadn't said before.
However, I'm glad that he said it again.
The vast majority of fans, finally understand what is going on at Charlton.
There are only a couple of trolls, that are pro RD. Colin & PL54.
if they are not trolls, they too are like the RD/KM regime and have nothing but contempt for their fellow fans. I'm ashamed of them all. Pathetic bottom feeders of the highest order.29 -
There was more money to be made in discarding our best players.ForeverAddickted said:Good point... Especially when you look at other players in the squad at the time, and who they joined...
Evina (Doncaster) .. Green (Luton) .. Sordell (Colchester) .. Obika (Swindon) .. Pritchard (Leyton Orient) .. Wood (Chesterfield) .. Wilson (Peterborough)
From the list of players that werent good enough, we made strange choices in getting rid of which ones!!
By removing them and replacing them with network duds also meant he reduced his overall head count.2 -
I have to say that Chris Powell did a great job of getting us up from League 1 and then finishing 9th the following year in The Championship but unfortunately the financial rug was pulled from under his feet hence he couldn't build the team as he would have wanted. But he remains Charlton through and through, has more integrity in a toe nail clipping than either Duchatelet or Miere and has the respect not just of us Reds but all of Football so for me his words count for a great deal. I can envisage him teaming up with Curbs back at The Valley but it would have to be AFTER RD and KM have pissed off.
And the other posters are right it is a true sign of stupidity that you believe you are always, right regardless of wealth truely intelligent people listen and learn from those who are better qualified or have more experience.1 -
Thats fair enough if the owners came out and said: I'm selling Yann Kermorgant because we need the money, but it seems he was saying: I'm selling Yann Kermorgant because he's not good enough for the LeagueRedPanda said:

People just need to look at this... How the hell do you create a competitive squad spending that amount of money (i.e. nothing), until Roland came along we were living off Free Transfers and TWO loans.
We tried keeping Ricardo Fuller but we could afford him and he went to Blackpool!!1 -
Agreed, he wanted to sell any players of value. No one can be that stupid & RD is certainly not stupid.RedPanda said:

I still think we are underestimating the regime.
RD has a plan and he's sticking to it.
I am confident Fraeye's role was to identify players of value to be sold, to be replaced by Academy players & foreign tat, that could be placed in the shop window as soon as possible, to then be sold.
It's all about getting them into the shop window (first team) to be sold.
It's Watt's turn now.

The key thing about the interview is that it wasn't conducted by or for Charlton fans. It's the fact that a fundamentally decent and competent football man was able to give his side of the story calmly, but with considerable emotion that will resonate with the listening public.Covered End said:Powell hasn't said anything in that interview, that he hadn't said before.

Could Roland manage the same?6 -
There are many ways to be stupid in my opinion and one is the refusal to listen and plough on ahead with a strategy regardless of the impact it is having. Of course that argument holds no water if it is the case that Duchatelet really couldn't give a fuck about the club or where we end up but sees it as a Euro printing press, then of course he is getting it right......depressing isn't it0

That is what Powell states and I of course believe him. However, RD has always had ulterior motives - like you say, if he was worried about the actual quality of player then there were many inferior to Yann, Solly, etc. The all important spreadsheets stats would have supported that.ForeverAddickted said:Thats fair enough if the owners came out and said: I'm selling Yann Kermorgant because we need the money, but it seems he was saying: I'm selling Yann Kermorgant because he's not good enough for the League
Yann was a quick bit of profit and too old to give a reasonable contract. Piotr would have been on no more than 2k a week in the Netherlands - in RD's warped mind they swapped Yann for him, saved tens of thousands on wages and believed the Polish U21 superstar would later be worth millions.2 -
You could always try listening to it?PL54 said:Did he mention anything about why he was sacked at Hudds and hasn't got a job since ?

We have heard why Powell was sacked from Huddersfield actually and was pretty much for the same reasons at Charlton... Once again Huddersfield had slipped down the league because the club sold the below players and replaced them with, no one!!Oakster said:
No but I haven't heard from Riga why Metz sacked him either - I have read quite a few quotes from Metz fans about how useless he was there though. C'est la vie.PL54 said:Did he mention anything about why he was sacked at Hudds and hasn't got a job since ?
Conor Coady (Midfielder) was sold to Wolves for £2m
Alex Smithies (Goalkeeper) was sold to Queens Park Rangers for £1.5m
Jacob Butterfield (Midfielder) was sold to Derby County for £4m
Those three were probably his best players yet from £7m raised none of it was ploughed back into the side and he was forced to buy Free Transfers!!9 -
Still beat us 5-0 though.....thats how far we have fallen6

Do you not think winning League 1 with record points and finishing 9th in the Championship showed some ability ?PL54 said:
Did you purposefully leave out ability ?Goonerhater said:There has to be a place in football for the likes of Chris Powell.
dignity--- honesty--- integrity sorry Chris those three personality traits arnt wanted in today's game.7 -

Colchester and Notts County were the biggest disappointments for me that season as really wanted us to stay undefeated at the Valley1 -
Can I suggest appendix rather than colon, given that it's the colon he'd be in at the time? I was going to say prostate, but that's really not that far up at all, as many of you know.Jdredsox said:
Your heads so far up Roland's ass that you're confusing his colon with a brain.3 -
Just ignore the troll, it's too much effort mate.MrOneLung said:

I suspect that next season Katrien will get to really understand that the 2%...is what is actually left of our support.Redmidland said:@colin1961, hope you and RD/KM enjoy holding hands in the Directors box next season in front of a team of kids, journeymen, and has-beens playing in front of 2000 customers, and those watching from their flats above the paltry JS stand. Enjoy mate!
I look after a couple of law firms that this individual worked for. I would have given notice to close if she had ever gone anywhere near a job with actual influence!!1 -
Thanks Ali! Biology was never my strong point

If that woman dares just dares saying what SCP said isn't true there will be arrests at the Bristol City game.6

@colin1961
I get things wrong sometimes, everyone does. But I could look you up some health support if you would take it?
I have to assume you are doing this on purpose and that can't be good for your health.

Not been anywhere today to listen to the interview but even without doing so i would not have CP back as manager of Charlton.
Charlton legend he may be but lets draw a line under all this sickening adulation which i believe the great man would find eternally embarassing. No doubt he will have me high fiving thin air with his side of the story tonight when i listen to it but in truth he was a limited manager and a tactically inexperienced one when with us. Maybe in 10 years time if we are still around and he is on his fifth or sixth job.
Looking forward to listening.
Once we get rid of this horrible bunch of Belgian bastards we will need a gnarled chew em up and spit em out tear em a new one manager with 25 years Championship experience not CP. We are far too nice to be a successful football club, why do you think everyone else are such bastards?0
