is a manager in waiting who can turn this great club of ours around...ironiclly it's most likely someone who is hardly tried or tested, a virtual unknown....look at the two great managers in our recent history.....Lennie and Curbs(or Curb's....if you prefer) both came somewhat out of the blue with little or no track record elsewhere....on the list of 40 IS THERE a new saviour somehere in the wings....and just as more to the point...can we(i.e The Addicks heirachy) spot him amongst the crowd?

beneath the pale moonlight,
someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there,
someone's saying a prayer,
that we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.
Somewhere out there,
if love can see us through,
then we'll be together, somewhere out there,
out where dreams come true.
Is there a place where the universe ends?
(any guesses?)
;-)
Poor Fieval, he just wants to find his family!
I might cry.
I see scores on Man U 'followers' Chelsea,Liverpool, Arsenal etc around the place who tell you they are fans......yet invariably I've been to Old Trafford and the other grounds more than they have.
Jonny-come-lately ALERT!
In the interests of maintaining harmony on this board and this not developing into yet another tit-for-tat name calling thread, all I will say to this is that I stongly disagree that the suggestions being made here are anywhere near the truth.
and have a hat that fits!
Chris.There is absolutely no way on gods green earth that Curbs is coming back.
Think about it.Good or bad,he always had his favorites and if you didn't tow the line you were out(Think Konch).
Without any money to spend he just wouldn't be able to assemble the side that he thinks could get us out of this mess.He would have to self motivate the tosh that we've got here at the moment.(Turd polishing,if you like)And that is just not Curbs game.He would become frustrated with the poor effort and performances and would alienate himself from 99% of the squad.
Also taking into consideration his stock has risen hugely with his time at West ham and with the likes of Sunderland and Blackburn waiting in the wings he knows it won't be too long before a prem league club comes knocking.
For us,i'm not sure what the future holds and if i'm honest i'm not looking forward to it.But i know one thing,it will not be in the hands of Alan Curbishley.
are you for real?
Hence why i said 'i know it's unlikely to happen but i can dream'.
NEVER.GO.BACK
I think it's pretty obvious the rot that had set in, only got worse with the Dowie appointment. At the time it wasn't a choice many would have disagreed with in footballing terms, he had worked wonders with the pub team he had managed previously & in theory given financial backing & time he should have emulated that with us.
The rest is history.
Charlton has had 3 great managers Jimmy Seed, Lennie Lawrence and Alan Curbishley all of whom had the talent to get us and keep us at the top level.
The rest of the time we have been a second or third tier club.
Those who have called for "their Charlton back" have got it.
