I know there are many of us that appreciate what Chris has done for this club.
I will personally see he gets this thread to appreciate the depth of gratitude, so if, like me, you want to pass on your thanks, please do so on this thread, or copy and paste into it any of your relevant posts.
(ps. This is not a thread for debate, every other one is for that. It you are pleased by this decision, please respect the intention of this thread and use another, thanks)

Thanks for the memories.
Real Charlton.
Thanks for the L1 title
And the same to Alex Dyer and Damian Matthew who I assume will be leaving as well.
It won't be the same without you.
Good luck for the future!
He's due a well deserved break with his family.
the L1 title winning season will live forever in mine and my son's memories.
You took over when this club was in one of the worst positions I had ever known since I started supporting the club in 1968. After a brief spell getting to grips with the club's position, you turned our fortunes around in that never to be forgotten 2011/12 season when one club record after another fell. I felt as proud as I have ever done in the final game against Hartlepool that season and truly the doors were open for the club to embark on another period of success.
Instead the rug has been pulled from under you. Despite this you have always acted with dignity and your love of the club has always shone through. You are a true gentleman as well as a highly talented manager.
I am sure a new club much more deserving of your talents will quickly sign you and I wish you every success in the future. You will always be a true Charlton legend to me.
Moving into management he took over in extremely difficult circumstances but again rose to the challenge brilliantly and united us all. He remains universally liked and respected by everyone in and out of the game and that is a rare thing indeed.
Today is a sad day for all supporters but I have zero doubt that Chrissy will put the last season behind him and we will see him managing again at the very highest level.
Good luck Chris and you should always receive a heroes welcome whenever you return to The Valley.
