Millwall fans loved Gritty when he was in charge there for a bit. Not so sure myself. Both legends with too much respect and affection to be lost for my liking. No someone new.
Economics and risk . We cannot afford another failure.
Gritty did wel with Curbs and don't forget the job he did at Brighton in saving their league status.
Gritty lives up to his name, and Kins has the same battling qualities.
But what worries me is the apparent lack of football intelligence and tactical nous within the team, where we're frequently out-thought and out-witted by opponents.
I think we need to consider the whole structure because we have gone from producing a youth team that plays football to a hoof and run outfit, The ressies under kins was the same
being shit is one thing but shit and long ball do me a favour
Ok, we are still a nice size club, but a nice size club in free fall in the third div, with very little money or direction![/quote] Fair point or to look at it another way- A club of tremendous potential.
[cite]Posted By: Scoham[/cite]I'm sure someone on here said they asked Steve Gritt if he'd like to manage us and he's not interested. I think he's happy managing the academy.
Will we still have an academy? Serious question, not stirring things up.
Gritt never was and never will be the right man for the job. Richard Murray realised this when he made Curbs the sole manager.
Another problem is this misconception that a good manager for Charlton should be "Charlton through and through". The sad fact is that we are an average club with (apart from this season) average players and average staff. Richard Murray got extremely lucky when he appointed Curbs as manager. Since then Murray has made a complete hash of his managerial choices.
I don't think that Murray has a good footballing brain, and unless he once again gets lucky we will continue to have second rate managers who cannot find another club to take them on.

Someone on here said we're reverting it back to a centre of excellence, no idea though. Guess we'll find out in the summer when they announce things like that.

Apologies to the software writer on here (Scoham?)
I only do the research for Charlton, not paid to do it, do it as a fan of Charlton and FM.
[cite]Posted By: Alex Wright[/cite]How about a Gritty / Kins / Chrissy Powell dream team?
That'd be a "three-times managerial failure (Charlton, Millwall, Brighton) / Doesn't want to be a manager yet / No experience in managing or coaching" dream team, would it?

Gritty's experience, Kins to do the bawling out, Chrissy with the arm 'round the shoulder!
The reserves played attractive and successful stuff with Glyn Snodin and then, Mark Robson.
The kids played their best football with Damien Mathew.
Are any of these the peoplewho we would look to add footballing intelligence and tactical nous as part of a Charlton management 'triumvirate' ....or is there too little experience?
Battling qualities are necessary ingredient of any successful side, but we could do with a football brain to add to the brawn.
in house appointments,cheap options,if we had got someone in november i doubt we would be here,hand on heart does anyone see hope next season with this manager set up?

So perhaps we need a thinking man, too ... ?
Not won a thing since 2005 and that was only the FA Cup. I think we need someone with a better record.

Don't forget as of May, we will be a third div team. That means that there is about 40 teams above us that would be more attractive to some managers.
