From Sky:
However, it has certainly not been a strong season for Charlton who have suffered a dramatic fall from grace since Curbishley's 15-year tenure ended in 2006.
The club are currently cut adrift at the bottom of the Championship, looking certain to be relegated to League One, and Curbishley admits he has been stunned by how far his former team has fallen.
However, he said chopping and changing managers too often in the last two years has contributed to their downfall.
"I just think about how quickly it's happened," he said.
"You've got no divine right to stay in the Premier League because it's so tough, but within two-and-a-bit years they find themselves looking at going into Division One.
"I went there on Tuesday to watch the game against Doncaster and a lot of people were bewildered at why and how it's happened.
"But it has, so you've got to get on with it. It's very disappointing.
"It's to do with bad decisions. I was there for 15 years and now they've had four managers in two years.
"The decision-making has obviously had a big effect. It's not worked and when you get on that downward spiral it's very difficult to get out of it.
"I could perhaps have imagined Charlton coming out of the Premier League, but I can't imagine them going down to Division One in such a short space of time."

True.
But the fact is Charlton have fallen harder because we have achieved so much and were sadly unprepared for what has come next, wheras Palace have had the odd yoyo season and never stayed in the top flight for any decent length and Millwall don't even know what the top flight is. To crib a cliche Form is temporary Class is permanent (a little over stretched maybe!) but until either of these clubs eclipse us in any meaningful way (very very unlikely)I will never feel inferior to them and moral superiority is very much with us.
Charlton Athletic will return
