And, given his successes, if a big club should come calling, asking Powell for his services? ‘They did. I manage them. And I want to take them back to where they used to be.’

It comes through in almost every word, the love and affection SCP has for Charlton and, being a fan with the same feelings, that means a lot to me.
Thanks for the link and thanks to you SCP.
‘I want them to be humble, because they’re lucky. They do the best job in the world,’ said Powell.
‘Show respect and, in return, earn it, don’t just demand it. At the training ground, treat the kitchen staff and the groundsmen properly, with the respect they deserve. It helps to build something bigger.’
I assume they go the night before in case of train problems as before the Wendies away game?
Just one gripe...Guinness, what on earth are you doing buying The Mail?????? ;-)
Jet lag: & web surfing: woke up at 1am, got up at 4.

Cannot think of any other person better to lead Charlton than Chris Powell.
It's a privilege to have you at the helm, Chris.
I can't recall a more popular (as a person) player ever
I've always thought he was a first class act. This just confirms it.
CP says it all, I haven't felt this belief in someone managing the club since Curbs and I admit I have criticised tactics on the odd occasion like against Rochdale, but non the less you know it matters to him more than just a football manager.
Interesting that the Sheff Wed budget is massively more than ours.
