Les Reed will step up from assistant head coach, to take full control of proceedings until further notice.
The board’s decision to implement a three-man-coaching-team when Dowie was introduced in the summer may have been as a "back up" plan for this eventuality. No doubt Les Reed and Mark Robson have had their say in the spending of the £12 million kitty, so they are clear on what needs to be done.
Although Charlton are bottom of the league, the team as a whole have not been playing as a "relegation team". Lack of confidence and morale, possibly caused by Dowie's physiological and hard-hitting man management tactics, seems to be creating the missing link.
Removing this negative element, and keeping with the “traditional” methods from Les Reed, could give the team a much needed respite. Footballers want to play football and boxing each other during training and playing cricket, as with Dowie’s training tactics, has not been favoured.
