Bowyer's got to go (ed. p23 CAFCOfficial twitter confirm he's gone)

I think Bowyer knew he was getting the boot at the end of the season and jumped before pushed.
His lack of tactical knowledge will get him found out. Unless he has experienced people around him at Birmingham I can't see it going well.3 -
Good luck Lee. Will never forget that day at Wembley. Think it's a good move for him and the club. Be nice to see Jacko/Euell given a chance, at least in the short term.6

Surprised Brum are going down this route.Have felt for some time Bowyers time had run its course, but still sad he couldn’t turn it around with us.5

Really sad that Lee will leave having not properly heard the fans give him an ovation for holding things together until Sandgaard came in. Things might not have gone brilliantly on the pitch since then, but he deserved to walk out in front of a packed Valley and feel the gratitude of Charlton fans for keeping us alive in a horrible period. Hopefully one day we'll go up against him and he can get his due thanks, like Powell did when Huddersfield came round.

Be interested to know what Ged Roddys role in this whole situation . Is he the kingmaker .......1

Please don't put anyone with any Charlton affiliation in charge of the club.
Get a manager with a strong tactical system and a shortlist of players ready to build the squad around.
None of this JJ/Euell nonsense. Will end up getting found out again like Bowyer did.16 -
Expect a lot of Charlton fans to be happy ... think it’s a massive shame9 -

I suppose Bowyer may have the argument that he was about to be sacked which forced him to resign. We don't know what has been said and done between Sandgaard, him and possibly Roddy. If Sandgaard has been generally supportive, he could take legal action. If he wanted to.
Maybe Sandgaard was aware of this and his win is not having to pay off Bowyer's contract.1 -
Finally, Birmingham might get that League One relegation they've been dodging for ten years10
-
I don’t think anyone can be sure of the circumstances but as I said a few weeks ago, I suspect there’s probably been a level of known honesty between Sandgaard and Bowyer on next seasons plans, and I’m sure this change very much falls into the ‘best for both parties’ scenario.27
-
It looks like Bowyer has joined Darren Moore in jumping ship from L1 to a Championship struggler. Personally I don't think it's a good move for either, as both Wednesday and Birmingham have major off field issues2

Let him finish what he started......

I agree with this. I feel we need a fresh start, someone with a new ideas and a different perspective, someone who's not been in and around the club the last few years.SELR_addicks said:Please don't put anyone with any Charlton affiliation in charge of the club.

If he leaves us for Birmingham it may, finally, end the forlorn drama of all those naive Charlton fans who expect/hope for loyalty in football. It doesn’t exist.3

You can expect a visit, if you're wrong!!

so we've been crap for months & wouldn't do the honourable thing and resign.............but as soon as a job comes along that he has a chance of getting he jumps ship even before that Club have announced they've sacked their existing manager.Gravesend_Addick said:My take & it's purely guesswork.
Bowyer was told some time ago we had to make the playoffs or he would be gone at the end of the season.
Birmingham have come in & he's jumped
Thanks Lee for nothing. If he gone a month or so ago we might have had a sniff of the play offs, but too late now.7 -
The new manager or caretaker manager should and will get all the necessary support they need. I personally believe in the squad we have and wouldn't write off the season, but that can't be an expectation. Some similarities to when Bowyer took over, in terms of it being a no lose situation.
We were 5 points behind the play offs with 11 games to go then!1 -
Well, you'd think that, but remember who it was that negotiated the contract with him...Dazzler21 said:
If anything Bowyer resigning means he has broken the contract early, I assume we chose to have assurances to protect us just as Lee did.ForeverAddickted said:
Like I said yesterday... Now means he surely gets a settlement package from Birmingham rather than having to pay off Bowyer.balham red said:Sandgaard probably quite pleased the decision was taken out of his hands.
Unless of course Bowyer resigning means that Birmingham dont have to pay anything and he's screwed us over

Feels like it's the right time for this to happen. I'll be forever grateful for everything Bows did for us, especially the day at Wembley.
If it was up to me we'd get the Cowley's or Jason Euell in as our next manager.
Cheers Bows ❤️1 -
Pete O’Rourke now saying Bowyer more likely to go Pompey1

Curbs til the end of the season and reevaluate

If true, hopefully this isn't a 'be careful what you wish' for moment.1
