If your twisting my arm for a name, then look no further then Alan Pardew or Dennis Wise, only so we get the chance to go back to Hartlepool, and take a few more fans this time.
Chrissy for me because no other manager would take all the hassle that has been thrown at CP. Plus, although he is still learning ( like all other managers), he has got that extra something that makes him very special, he's a full on decent human being that no-one has a bad word about. Daft to throw away the PR factor IMO.
Reamsofverse, 10 year contract with part time chairman position as well.
Can just see it now Reams calling for himself to be sacked & then beating himself up for daring to suggest it....
Easy to be a smart arse from behind a keyboard
Even easier to have a sense of humour and realise its tongue in cheek.
I felt, with the history between certain members and forums, it was far from tongue in check - just my view. It was a sarcastic post in the first place.

I would prefer a manager that was a winner than a nice bloke, only saying. I don't see what being nice has to do with anything. Hope there is more about cp than being nice.
Well at the time if you had asked the question I would have said Fergie/Guardiola/Mourinho. But now ... Is there anyone in the world who could have done a better job? No, not for me. SCP all day.
Given our finances and everything etc I don't actually think anyone would have or had done a better job than Chris Powell up to this point.
Fergie, Jose, Wenger and all that are used to managing high profile clubs with lots of money, it wouldn't work they would not be suitable for the vacancy.
If Fergie was forced to manage Charlton as a slave and could not leave the club, then as a manager he is the best and I would pick him.

My point, admittedly not made at all clear, was that it's because CP is such a decent guy that, despite lack of funding and support, he has somehow managed to just about hold a threadbare team together and may yet save us from relegation. He hasn't walked out on us, that I would suggest is more than our current owners deserve and more than a different manager is likely to do. We have owners who don't care one jot about what's happening on the pitch or about players contracts, so right now I think we need the qualities that Chrissy possesses more than ever.
Th equestion should be - Is Chris Powell the best manager in the World? If you think the answer is yes, of course you wouldn't pick anybody else to manage us, given th eluxuary of being able to chose anybody. If you think the answer is no however, the answer has to be no. It doesn't reflect badly on Powell though!

Quite correct, a Charlton forum is hardly the place for an open discussion....
You heard the guy, no more responses please chaps.
