the club showed no courage in showing dowie the door ,the team he was left with was a right motley crew of underacheivers,but no the bland charlton board decided in haste to out someone that was trying to change the whole scene at charlton,while other clubs win cups,get in europe,play football easy on the eye,we have been accustomed to to lets face it SHITE,in dowie came a man totally diffrent to the charlton way,he needed time everyone new that,to many players who play for a pay cheque at charlton and nothing else.but good news les reed is in the building ,bland passionless four five one here we come,and the "good days" of coming 16th and going out of cups early are on there way back.and regarding the league cup dowie got them there,so if they did get to a final he deserves half the credit.

1) 4-5-1, midtable, out of the cups early.
2) Relegated, losing money, wages beyond revenue, eventual midtable in the CCC
This season's aim now is to stay up. End of.
Next season we can then worry about conquering the world.
Sacking a manager after 12 games is not "bland", far from it. Murray has shown year after year that his priority is this club and I for one and am prepreared to have a little faith.
if at xmas, we were still down there, and they made the decision then, then perhaps it would have been too late?
i think they've been very brave. no body knows what is going to happen, if this is a good thing, and no one can be sure till we've got a few wins under our belt. we can't say things might have changed with dowie, nor do we know if things will change with reed. i don't think the club have been rash about it though, i'm sure they've thought long and hard, and they know more about it than we do. and therefore, we have to back them.
so for argument sake, from scraping through against Bolton reserves and scraping through against Chesterfield, you're convinced Dowie was taking us to a cup final ?
The easy option would have been to hide behind further than ever before in the Carling Cup, bad luck with injuries etc, etc for a few more games or even to Christmas.
Richard Murray has identified a problem though and been proactive in doing what he thinks is right to sort it. Don't forget he appointed Dowie so he is holding his hands up and saying "sorry I've made a mistake but I'm going to put it right."
After what he has done for our club over the last 15 years my loyalties are firmly with Richard Murray and I trust him to get us through this crisis.
Absolutely 100% right! There is more to this than meets the eye, and we are unlikely to find out the truth. Who would you trust to look after CAFC - at the moment the only answer is Richard Murray. Some of the rantings you read on message boards are quite extraordinary.
It is amazing how people are willing to turn their backs on 15 years of solid achievement and make extreme comments based on virtually no information.
we may still reach a cup final and possibly stay up,but we won't get very far harping on for curbs or dowie,their time has passed.onwards and upwards.alea iacta est and other clichés.
Too right! Based on assumption rather than any fact. Some people are really starting to piss me off
