So, Eddie stayed. Good for him.
Now, let's get beyond the what ifs of this and focus on what needs to be done before our next game. Finding someone better to manage.
My shortlist:
Mark Robins-Barnsley
Gary Johnson- sacked yesterday
John Sheridan- Chesterfield
Alan Knill-Bury
Darren Ferguson-free agent
Gary Waddock- Wycombe
Andy Hessenthaler-Gillingham
That's a realistic bunch. All their respective clubs aren't as financially or resourcefully capable as Charlton
Inputs welcome!

you had me going for a minute there
Personally I was hoping for Howe. Now I don't know what I want. Maybe Andy Scott? It really depends on what sort of message the owners want to send out.
I see the odds on Hasselbaink have been shortened. If thats the case maybe Wise isn't such a bad idea after all, lol.
Jim Davidson would be back quicker than a rat up a drainpipe if we got in a manager called Knill !
worked well for Preston
to be honest it doesn't look that inspiring !
Fergie jnr

johnson

just a taste of whats free.
I would love to see Keane at Charlton.
Not my cup of tea but some people like their music.. More likely to play the O2
I was thinking the same.
Hardly whets the appetite though does it.
Andy Scott is another who always seems to do well against us as a manager and Brentford are always a solid side, not sure if he is any better than Parky though.
If Wise was happening I think it would've been done by now so I can only think he doesn't fancy it.
No-one else I've seen on the list who I'd like to see in charge really
When Parkinson was at Colchester people seem to forget how he was branded about like the next big thing. Hull paid a big compensation fee for him when he was in a similar situation as Howe - even better he even got Colchester promoted from league 1. Love or hate Parkinson he got sacked last week.
When Curbishley left I remember Mick McCarthy was interviewed, people slated the idea he could become the next manager. Instead we employed shrek and Mick is currently a premiership manager. My point being that this club and current crop of players could do with a wise head (not a Dennis Wise head though).
Gary Megson anyone ;-)

Surely the main point of getting rid of Parkinson was that they didn't trust the bloke to spend their money, so while those saying we should take our time to make the right choice are obviously right , it's not the whole picture. Whoever they do trust to splash their cash needs to arrive in time to spend it.
As someone who accepted Parkinson could not continue , I have to say it is beginning to look a little foolish that they didn't have a better formulated plan on the succession before they decapitated him.
I couldn't find their list of available managers, but this is pretty close. No doubt there are more unemployed out there.
I'm with Heaven SE7 that Parky was a hotly tipped manager back in his Colchester days, but hasn't pushed on as he & certainly others would have liked. With Howe, I would've been worrying the same. The hype is all well & good, but hes has only been at one club & is very young. That's not to say he isn't a good boss, just that he still has a lot to learn. If Poyet moved to another club there is no guarantee that he would be successful.
I'd take experience over hype. Gary Johnson or Lennie Lawrence for me!
At least that's what I think he said - I'd had a few...
if we have loads of dosh ...why not ?
Has experience of lower league and can cut the mustard at top level and out of work.
Probably can't afford him
Probably won't want the job in any case
Certainly better than the bunch at the top of this thread.

Seeing as we are going even further in to the silly season this is why not
A druggy
A cheat
can't speak the lingo
even more expensive than O'Neill.
