Bring back Powelly!

I think that ship has sailed. I’d love a Charlton man with Curbs as an advisor . Fans would get behind Pearce but I have no idea how good a coach he is .0
-
Unfortunately Powell wouldn’t be my first choice, can understand the sentiment behind it, but as others had said, think his time has gone, Duff or similar for me. Still think the senior management team needs replacing and until this is done, don’t expect anything to change.1

sometimes things are best left as a memory - i think this is the case with Powell.
great times and great memories lets not add a relegation scrap to it10 -
Powell as a replacement for Scott, or involved in a coaching capacity but not as a manager.
his last good season was 10 years ago as a manager.

On a sidenote does anyone know why he left both the England and Spurs coaching staff just to end up at Sheff Weds? Doesn't seem like a great career move.0

Not for me.0

Im a big fan of Powell and wanted him to replace Holden but not sure its the right time for him now. That being said I would still be happy to see him back anytime.3

I think Powell or Bowyer would lift the mood. Both it can be argued have unfinished business having been shat on by the club. Powell was undermined and unfairly sacked, Bowyer probably should have been sacked before he left but this was because all the crap thrown at him after promotion. All you have to do is look at the three last times we have had any success amongst the scores of managers we have had and there is a pattern in terms of a link to the club.
Personally, I think Pearce would be a great caretaker and who knows from there. Fans will give him a chance which will take the pressure off him and it is little commented on, but pressure on the manager equates to pressure on the players. In the meantime, we could be looking for a manager who might not be such an unknown risk (I think Jones could go either way and what happens if he goes the wrong way) and if Pearce does well, we can stop looking. And if he doesn't he doesn't get sacked but gets slid back into his current position.1 -
If Pearce doesn’t do well, which is very much a possibility as his ability to manage a team is completely unknown, then he will be getting slid back into his current position whilst we are in league two.
We can ill afford to take chances in the position we are in, and sentimentality has to be completely thrown out the window. We have to appoint someone who has recently been working and recently has success working at the level we are at.
Bowyer could very much fit that model, and I wouldn’t be adverse to him being in the picture. Though I’m still slightly scared by the end of his tenure.If a manager like Duff comes in, gets us playing well and winning games, which he has proven to be able to do at his level very recently - then that is all we need.1 -
Can we confine all the 'bring back whichever former manager' posts to this thread please? Powell, Curbs, Jackson, Bowyer, throw them all in here and spare the other threads.1

They're surely not waiting for candidates to send in CVs again like last time are they?
Shows how amateurish this whole shower is.1 -

There’s no doubt that he’d light up the place and most likely give the shell shocked players something to smile about but there’s a but. I dont think his record since that sublime season with us has given me at least confidence to think he’ll be able to repeat it. Gets tin hat.1

So me starting this post was a bit of a heat of the moment thing.. fear,anger desperation. I was feeling it all last night!
I agree there will be question marks but my reasoning was
1. that the club needs a huge dose of the feel good factor and players need to regain self confidence and quickly.
2. I have no faith whatsoever in this ownership group finding a suitable candidate by waiting for CVs to arrive and multiple interviews to commence where candidates will have to provide evidence of black box thinking and setting out key performance indicators yada yada yada.
We need a huge shot in the arm and quickly. Waiting for these dullards to come to a decision could just about finish us off1 -

I don’t think for the long term but I think he could do a job for us over the next 3 months. To get out of this relegation scrap we’re heading towards. That for me is the short term priority.0

Chris Powell's success at Cafc was when they had a clear out. Powell, Chappell and Dyer used their contacts and brought in a whole new squad.
The moral to this story is Chris is good with a squad he brings in his self with the aid of his assistant and his chief scout as long as the Scout has a professional football background and not on football manager.
If CP turned it down before it was offered to Appleton (not sure on the timeline) then why would he want it under these circumstances ?
Anything is possible and would probably have about 85% backing from fans even if it was a 4 month contract with a big bonus to stay up.

He has learnt alotsince then butits a big risk!Regardless, it’s unlikely CP would come at present. Alex Dyer is a different story - believe he would be keen to be involved.0
