edited June 2008 in General Charlton
Upon leaving us as a player, Mark Bowen has gone on to become a very well respected No2 with firstly Steve Bruce and secondly Mark Hughes. Has followed Hughes to Man City, but the chance to take the manager's job at a club he knows well may prove to strong a pull.

Colin Calderwood took Northampton to promotion before moving to Forest, where after a disappointing campaign, he followed up by taking them to promotion to the Championship. Ambitious, and though record isn't glamourous, may need convincing that Charlton is now a step up from Forest.

    I love this. Are you going to produce a bracket (sorry think that is an Americanism) to see who beat who?

    I picked Bowen, I think he was always a clever footballer, and has had a excellent career as a coach. Trouble is will he be the next Phil Brown or the next Sammy Lee?

    I voted Calderwood simply because he already has managerial experience and much as I like Bowen it would be a bigger gamble imo.

    Mark Bowen, good coaching credentials ahead of Calderwood's more managerial experience.

    Calderwood, purely because he is an established (more than Bow anyway) gaffer.

    Calderwood has the experience and get the vote because of it, despite my irrational distrust of anyone called Colin.
