Lee bowyer to porstmouth

I think it would be a good move for both him and us.

According to talksport alex crook porstmouth want lee bowyer as new manager 

Is this after he said that Pompey don't build a new squad every summer?

would make sense - we have always done well against pompey so they have probably have a good opinion of bowyers talents and they know he knows the league  - it would be one of the clubs he wouldn't have to uproot to - wonder if any rumours of jackett switching to us pop up - apart from the spanner stain, ihe wouldn't be a bad shout  

Bowyer is "too confrontational", someone at Pompey has decided.

Yeah - that's exactly why we like the little scrote.  The famous chimes go: 'Fuck off, Pompey! Pompey, fuck off!'

Can’t lie, it wouldn’t be the end of my world if LB went to Portsmouth. He’s no Lawrence, Curbishley or Powell.

That’s exactly what he is. He’s a fantastic club servant who’s done a good job under unprecedented circumstances. Like the others you’ve mentioned, he’s someone who gets what it means to be Charlton.

That's slightly overegging it a bit. He left us in 1996 after just 58 games, and wasn't seen again until 20 years later

Really don’t agree. Him and the rest of coaching staff stayed, keeping the club afloat despite various ownerships seemingly doing everything in their power to destroy it. Without that, we wouldn’t have Sandgaard.

There's a petition to have a stand named after Curbs ffs, how can you put Bowyer in the same bracket.

I wasn’t sniping, just offering my personal opinion. Is that not allowed now?

He just gave his opinion? Do you get how it all works ?

Regardless if you’re Bowyer in or out, you can’t rewrite history and pretend he’s not been a great servant to Charlton who will undoubtedly leave the club in a much better state than what he found it

Without wishing to re-write history, aren't we, more or less, in the same position we were when he took over three years ago? We picked up 19 points from our final 10 games to reach 71 points that season and made 6th place by 3 points so can't have been very far behind can we? Or, put another way, we had 52 points from 36 games and have 51 from 34 now.

No, not at all. 3 years ago we were owned by Roland and were hurtling towards oblivion. Lee Bowyer came in and galvanised the entire club. Got fans back into the stadium and secured a promotion that prolonged our existence. A collective spirit returned that had been gone since Chris Powell was sacked. ESI and an injury crisis like no other, relegated us - even with that we only went down due to Barnsley’s offside winner at Brentford.

All of those events led to Thomas Sandgaard coming in and giving the whole club a much needed lift. To make such a reductive argument about points totally negates the context of one of the craziest periods in the clubs 116 year history.

I’m not even a massive Bowyer supporter, it wouldn’t bother me if he was let go at the end of the season and it wouldn’t bother me if he stayed. It just baffles me how much people dislike the man when all in all he’s done a good job.

I'm sorry but every club can point to some event at some stage that cost them points. I expect Wigan, who finished one point behind us, could find more than one example in at least one game or use the comparison between the 12 points that were deducted as opposed to the 6 that Wednesday have been.

Of far more relevance was our inability to score - we were one of the lowest scorers in the division and in our final 12 games we hit the back of the net just 6 times, failing to score in 8 of them.

Don't get me started on Bowyer 'keeping us afloat' either. 

Well that’s exactly what he did....considering he has been operating with both hands tied behind his back almost since the day he, Jako and Gallen joined us.
Only a fool could think otherwise!

You want Bowyer sacked? Blimey, I never guessed that from the other 20 times you’ve posted it recently. 

Your not wrong I want him sacked

There their they're.
