I bumped into him at the Jobcentre on Friday. He was chipper as usual and told me that he had selected the following three choices for his jobseekers agreement in this order.
Spot welder Thatched roofer Football coach
We wished each other luck and as we parted company he assured me that I was more likely to be Charlton Head Coach than he was while RD still owned the club.
11) He has already administered a business venture "The Chris Powell consortium" + Varney and curbs get in on the gig. He buys the club for a whopping 17million in the summer after we get relegated, and throws the deal breaker of an extra 100k worth of notes on the floor next to Rolands foot who scrambles for it like a dog.
Him and Curbs go half in half on the football management and wear black cloaks with shades like the matrix and hire deano as goal keeping coach. They reminisce The Brian Clough Peter Taylor kind of partnership, cracking jokes left right and centre and taking the p*ss out of everyone in press conferences. They guide Charlton to the premier leagues elite top 4, eventually winning the league and champions league in the same year. Hugh heffner dies and Keith peacock gets the keys to the playboy mansion as he now owns it....walking around wearing his white Charlton dressing gown with the badge.
QPR when they mess up the playoffs Brings in 22 new players wins the championship with a record points total and gets backed the following year and superhoops become a regular champions league club
Surely he would not touch QPR if they fail to go up as they will be under a transfer embargo or some other serious punishment from such vast over spending?
Well i would hope so if football really has any justice anyway.
Probably end up at Bournemouth when Howe gets taken by Palace/QPR/Fulham/West Ham
Howe is to Bournemouth what Powell was to us. Won't leave unless he's forced to (which he was first time he left). Bournemouth are owned by a billionaire so the resources are there.
11) Chris will set up a plumbing business with Parsley Pete. It will become hugely successful and after floating on the stock exchange 10 years hence, Chris will buy the club languishing in league 1 (All the good players keep being sold by RD). Due to injuries Chris will ask Piotr to try out and he makes the squad. Not only does Piotr fire us back into the Championship but also scores the goals which take us to Wembley where we beat the Arse 4-1 in the FA Cup final.
I've got a lot of time for Powell but I personally don't think he'll ever be a successful Premiership manager. Hope he proves me wrong, but I just don't see it
Bet you a score He'll be managing in the prem within 3 years.
We just weren't patient enough. Good luck Chris. Whoever he manages next are lucky fuckers as far as I'm concerned.

"Meanwhile, Standard Sport understands that former Charlton manager Chris Powell spent the weekend coaching the England Under-18s at St George’s Park."
On a slightly different note, I wonder if CP would ever want to come back to Charlton after what happened to him here. Two tough years under the muppets and now Roland might have soured his feelings for the club. Would be sad if that were the case, but you could understand it.
Every time I see or hear mention of Powell I reflect on what a shame it was that he did not make a complete success of his time at Charlton .. he always seems such a lovely man and I am sure that his time at the valley will always remain deep in his heart as a fond if blighted memory .. I feel that his future could be in the media, even in politics .. whatever, I and I am sure that we all, wish him all the very best
I am certain Chris will have a great future as his man management is supreme.He is a very intelligent man and performed wonders especially getting us promoted to the Championship.He has the potential to do anything well given the required resources.I hope one day he will return to the Valley .

He's too good for us

:-)
Whoever that team is, they will be my 2nd team as long as he is there.
