He was sacked after the game ... The reaction of the fans towards him , bottom of the table, our awful performances and style of play the board saw he had lost the fans and acted .... Only a shame that the previous owners did not have the balls to do and left it to RD to do who took the flack for making the right decision
sorry, but that is total bullshit
Care to elaborate? I seem to recall lots of booing after the game. Many of us got up at an outrageous hour to travel to Sheffield to see our team try to reach the semi finals. Except, they didn't try.
Lots of people saying the buck stops with KM as CEO over the ticket fiasco, likewise the buck stops with the manager for (months) of poor performances. Is it not the same thing? Or can we STILL not criticise 'Sir' CP?
As for Colin ' s 'total bullshit' remarks...which ones are incorrect?
Do we know CP was sacked before the game? (If so, why sit in the dugout?)
I know plenty of fans were unhappy with performances - doesn't necessarily make them right, but does highlight Colin's point.
We were bottom of the table, also factually correct.
I see you disagree with Colin, and we all have our opinions, but at least justify your counter argument if you are going to disagree so agressively.

Was you at Sheff ....... When he walked towards the away end he knew how the fans felt he quickly turned and went back to the tunnel
I was there and think you're reinventing history Colin.

I was there, and that was absolutely the last straw for me. Powell had to go. I do not believe history is being reinvented by any stretch, perhaps you are just more patient than some of us?
sacking a manager before a quarter final of a major competition, then 24 hours later hiring your mate with relatively no managerial experience to replace him, if i was in the playing staff i would've thought "fuck this". Jacko i'm led to believe made sure riga felt settled as quickly as possible and made sure he and the rest of the senior players led the team to stay together to keep the club up.
Think you are doing a massive disservice to Riga here.
Of course, but come on, when he was appointed most of us were putting our heads in our hands thinking that we were just a plaything for an eccentric Belgian multi millionaire who liked hiring his mates. Imagine being on the playing staff then. Was the most bonkers time, just beats out les reeds reign as the most bizarre time to be a charlton fan.

Perhaps. We were all angry but I don't recall any anti-Powell feeling in the away end. Wigan away that year was the closest I got to thinking Powell had to go.
So they turned up and had a bit of a jolly when a match at Wembley was on offer?
The players weren't up to scratch. Our strikeforce was Church and Tudgay ffs.
I agree that we had some poor players. Poor players that improved just enough to avoid relegation after a change in manager. Let's resurrect the post match thread if this is to be debated further.
I am just saying that some opinions and some facts should not be dismissed as 'rewriting history' or 'total bullshit' just because posted by a particular poster

Ahahaha, yeah, those previous owners eh. The only thing stopping them from sacking a manager who had won L1 with a record points total, finished 9th in the Championship the next season and kept the team competitive with zero investment was their knees knocking against each other with fear. Come on Colin.

Resurrect away, I personally loved CP but knew he had to go when he wasn't allowed to select the players he wanted to.
That season was rescued by Johnnie Jackson, Marvin Sordell, Callum Harriott, Diego Poyet, Astrit Ajderavic and as much as some won't like it Reza Ghoochannejhad.
They all scored important goals that won games in the final weeks of the season.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to say we wouldn't have stayed up if Powell had stayed.
The importance of staying up dawned on players that were good enough but were disillusioned by goings on at the club and a few emergency signings plugged gaps.

No, they couldn't afford to.

Would have been due compensation. We couldn't even pay the milkman let alone a football manager's payoff! Why spend that money yourself when serious buyers are looking to take the problem off your hands.

Not saying we would def have been relegated under Powell (I believe we would) . Again all I am saying, is one poster cannot be pulled up on absolutely everything he says JUST because it is him
Obviously Powell and Duchatelet didn't see eye to eye. Well documented. Even Powell has said things about it now. Very annoying for us that it came to a head when we had a decent chance of a trip to Wembley but this is one to move on from. And it has nowt to do with the Big Kahunas!
I think, sadly, its fairly likely that he will be given the boot at Huddersfield soon, and we can then all spend weeks and weeks arguing about having him back, just for the sake of variety!
Having seen the Jackson weirdness for a few seasons, I thought it time to speak up. There's some proper plumbs on here. I really, honestly, can't understand why Jackson isn't seen as a hero to every Charlton supporter. And that's not just the johnny come lately Premier League brigade. A guy who scored almost fifty goals in almost 200 games (that's 1 in 4 for a midfielder, for the proper knuckle draggers), who is loved by both the players and management and who respects the fans. To me he's up there with Kinsella, Robbo and Kiely.
spot on.
He isn't first choice any more and shouldn't be but 100% one of the few Charlton players in recent years that can be considered a Charlton legend. I would love it if he gets to 50 goals but cant see it, I was gutted when he hit the bar on Tuesday. I hope that we can find an off field role for him

I think they'll go down this year. Not a great squad there. I wonder if we could pinch Nakhi Wells from them. Sod it, I'm making that a rumour to get this thread back on track.
This is getting Boring. There's more repeats on CL than the BBC. Don't keep bringing up Sheffield United or NLA will never come back and watch another game. You don't need to be an expert, like what i'm(get off your soapbox) To know that the 2015/16 season JJ won't be in the 1st 11 on current form. Jackson misses the buzz of playing and IF and only IF JJ wants to go on loan, fair enough. I will repeat what i and others have said Jackson was the conduit between the coaches and held this club together when the club were imploding and has been a rock and a Legend. I would give him a new contract but with more coaching included. Great captains don't come around very often.

Yes we lost and yes we were all pissed off at missing our best chance of visiting the new Wembley but to say the players weren't trying is silly.
I distinctly remember Harriott spurning a great chance at 0-0. Had that gone, I reckon the story of that early afternoon might have been different.
