"Of course my time at Charlton hurts. My first season there was brilliant and if we'd repeated that in the following season we wouldn't have gone down. There are lots of regrets for myself and the Board. It just didn't work out.
I'm not sure about the crowd's reaction to me coming back but there are no hard feelings on my part. I will go back as a professional Manager"
After Pitcher left for palace and got injured , he came back to watch a Charlton game and was asked to do the half time draw. It was so funny because for the whole of the second half, three sides of the Valley were chanting abuse at him

I am sure I read on the OS that he left by mutual consent. I accept that was probably in the wake of the boards suggestion. Non the less he still walked even though he went with a pay off.[/quote]

At no time did I suggest he wasn't sacked, I stated a fact from the OS that he went on mutual consent. I also mentioned that on the suggestion of the board.
I don't really hate Charlton players. Dunphy was a neat midfield player but he didn't do much for us. I just thought he was crap. Mind you I never asked him for his autograph. We got a lot of money for Pitcher, which was a joke on palarse really, plus we got david Whyte who was good for a while. JFH was just a huge disappointment aka Rommerdahl. I loved Parker and got depressed when he left but I don't hate him. Don't forget he gave back his part of the transfer fee, one million I think, so that was a bit of redemption in my book. Now Dowie is much easier to hate because not only does he look like a cows arse but he has all that windy rhetoric that still annoys me on SS. I don't hate Pardew but what he did was very snide. Taking money that could have sent us into administration, which was totally undeserved. I can't believe he thinks he might get a good reception...perhaps he means from the directors.
[cite]Posted By: RodneyCharltonTrotta[/cite]Cant understand why he will get stick if he does.
Anyone that spends £4-5m on Andy Gray, Luke Varney and Izale McLeod, doesn't have a clue how to get the best out of them and then leaves the club wtih them having no confidence probably deserves some stick...
Pards has never slagged us like dum fu**y and mullers let's leave him be. He did his best we had some good times together and it could have been different. He's like an ex bird who u felt thoguht she was to good for u. She went on about her ex a lot but in the end it just didn't work out no ones fault but there are some good memories and she never meant to hurt u

but she did hurt you and left you looking a tit in front of your mates. Now you've both been invited to the same party this Saturday. She's got a new fella - loads of money now but has struggled a bit during the credit crunch.
After a few months licking your wounds you've now hooked up with someone new - her name's shortened to Sam and she's got a great Racon her. You've had six great nights out and this is the seventh, you want to have more great sex this Saturday right in front of Pardew. You'd see her Dailly if you could. Trouble is, she's partial to a bit of Bailey's - that usually hits the mark but on the odd occasion it makes things go all haywire so you don't want that to happen - there is a rumour that the bar won't have Bailey's in any event (heard that from Colleen Rooney who works for the brewery - she's WAGstaff). You just pray that things won't go for a Burton and you end up having to say you're Solly to everyone.
After an evening game at Smelhurst some years back I encountered Pitcher in the exec lounge and said that I thought that the way Palarse (and he inparticular), had gone out of their way to target Lee Bowyer........they really gave him some stick that night but to his credit he didn't crumble, I think we may have won(or did we draw?), I also remember him(Bowyer that is), scoring a fantastic goal.
Pitcher just smirked and said........."Yeah shame i'nit" and turned his back...absolute tozzer the fella.
I wasn't rude or out of order I just said it like it was.I was expecting some kind of reasonable answer along the lines of a simple but honest admission and explaination, which I would readily have accepted.........he knew me a bit from The Valley but chose to get snotty about it........after all he was now playing for the 'mighty' Palarse.
As he turned around I just said "Oh bollox to you then." .......he heard me all right.
I've seen him on the odd occassion at The Valley and I'm certain he looks away, anyway we avoid each other is about the sum of it.........I know he remembers..I certainly do.
What on earth did Dowie do to be mentioned on here so much ?
He may have been part of the era when we fell from grace but how can he be judged when he was given so little time ?? Yes he signed some players that did not do it for Charlton. Is there anyone on here that would not have JFH without hindsight ? Remember he had just completed the season previous with Boro as top scorer ! I thought he was an excellent signing who for whatever reason did not reproduce the form. When he was sacked I don't recall him quoting anything bad about us. He just moved on, didn't he ??
Yes he may have played for and come from Palace but isn't there a more mature reason to dislike him ??
As for Pardew however I cannot stand the bloke for coming to us and doing so badly and then not walking away with dignity knowing our financial predicament. There is no player who has been involved in professional football as long as him who needed to hang around for a pay off. I hope he gets relegated with Southampton.

Wonder how many people on here would waiver their pay off in their jobs. At the end of the day the board shouldnt have offered a contract that involved such a high pay off...cant blame the bloke for picking it up as i would have.

er yes you can, still i suppose its the world we live in and Pards is just like most people in public life - incapable of taking responsibility for their failures
Dowie has to be manager after wasting so much money! Pardew may have spent badly but 4 million on Traore and Faye will take some beating not to mention JFH, Pouso and Walton. Players: Defoe because he used to always score against us but M Bent for the ridiculous money we spent
No one has mentioned Lee Bowyer, who got more than a mixed reaction when there was a possibility of him coming back.
Eamon Dunphy ... a lot of people hate Eamon Dunphy, starting with Jack Charlton.
Pardont was a solid, if unspectacular player for Charlton. The vast majority welcomed him back as a potential savior as a manager. So all of the ill will is based on his tenure as a manager.
I still place more of the blame for Charlton's fall on Dowie. But Pardont is sitting right there with him the front seat of blame.
What also doesn't help Pardont is we learned what a real pr*ck he is as a person, an egomaniac, how he mistreated staff, how he jerked the club around and waited for his payoff while all around him was crumbling.
He could have been a Charlton hero. But he is an Addicks villain, now and forever more.
I was screaming at the computer last night..... and was sooo angry when they scored....
I cannot beliee the referee, even though I was only listening to a woman commentator no less , it weemed he had been blinded by the Alan Pardew show .....

I think the sentiment was that he considered Charlton to be a bit of a soft touch.
cock, I bet you ain't mate with £1.5m of our hard earned in your back pocket !!!!!

Pitcher began ok, but like so many he started to believe that he was better than he was. I'll forgive him for that goal at Blackburn though.

I think Pardew has eclipsed Pitcher at the top of my ex-Charlton shitlist.
