***Lee Bowyer - Caretaker Manager (Jackson Assistant)***

Good luck Lee and Jacko. You won't be able to change much, but maybe a more positive mindset in the players (and in the crowd) will turn our form around.
Appointing them is a no brainer really, everyone knows a takeover is imminent, whether during this season or in the summer, so it would be pointless appointing someone permanent that the new owners might not want. I'm sure Lee and Jacko will be excited to get this chance too. In a way they've nothing to lose, we're unlikely to go down, and if we miss the playoffs nobody will blame them.0 -
I suspect the 3 points Gobby gifted them might be useful.thai malaysia addick said:
Don't much care about Oxford. At least we are 12 points above a relegation spot, which should mean we are safe.palarsehater said:what would be fucking hilarious is if we nicked a play off spot and oxford were relegated.

It's not to say I don't think they'll do well, but Karl's legacy will last until at least the end of the season.0 -
Along with Rob Lee he is the best teenager I have ever seen in a Charlton shirt.agim said:

Really wouldn't look too detailed into this as a long-term solution. Increasingly convinced this is a 1, 2 games at most agreement.5

The new owners whoever they may be will want to install their own manager.
Rightly so as they are the ones putting up the cash.0 -

Reckon he'll be in charge till after Easter Monday.AFKABartram said:Really wouldn't look too detailed into this as a long-term solution. Increasingly convinced this is a 1, 2 games at most agreement.
With Northampton on Good Friday, it means we've only four days from Monday to try and get Harry Kewell (if it is him) in as Manager - That'll take a day or two, meaning he wont be ready for the Northampton game, and if it takes long enough, then he probably wont be ready to take charge till after Rotherham that Monday1 - Sponsored links:

I think some of the anti Kewell vitriol on this forum has been well OTT, and I’m deeply shocked.0

I don't know enough about him as a coach/manager to judge. IF he is appointed I'm sure most will give him a few games to 'bed in'. In reality, the season is over. We won't go down and we are not good enough to go up. The close season will give him (or whoever) the opportunity of putting together a squad that is geared to getting us out of this league.0

Bowyer was a fine young player for us, but I don't think he stayed long enough to gain "legend" status0

Parker was nothing special as a teenager then he went out on loan and come back a better player.
But when both were at their peak I couldn't pick a winner.
Two of the best players we have produced.5 -
VFR is going to be massively belted out on Saturday I feel.
Feels like we've got one step in the door of having our Charlton back today2 -
That's not true. My dad's been dressing the same way for 40 years and he shows no signs of stoppingDazzler21 said:

He's such a good manCrusty54 said:
He turned down the chance to become manager after the caretaking period. Wanted to stay with the U23s.EastStand said:If Bowyer lacks the required coaching badges what about Euell? Is there any reason he wasn't given a chance? Just asking because I bloody love him.

If Australians buy us and appoint a manager on the basis that he’s an Australian, I suspect we remain ‘in the shit’.1

I can't really see why they would do that. Normally a foreign owner appoints a compatriot in a senior position as a way of overcoming cultural differences. Apart from the Irish I doubt there is another country that's more culturally similar to us than the Australians.masicat said:If Australians buy us and appoint a manager on the basis that he’s an Australian, I suspect we remain ‘in the shit’.
