So you are just prepared to except that? Stranger things have happened. Brexit,Trump. As a fan base - we can help make that happen if we are ALL prepared to put our differences aside??

Yes stranger things have happened, the main concerns for me though are two things, firstly getting a ticket and secondly if they do reform will it just be all about the money or will Noel and Liam actually be on good terms? I want both their hearts to be in it if it does happen.

It has gone past that stage a long time ago.
Three years ago the squirrel said Duchatelet does things his way and we have to live with it.
For me - CAFC would not be where we are without RM.He was instrumental in the rebuild of the club/stadium.His relationship with Curbs will always be a Major part of of the clubs history.Its unfortunate that RM and PM seemed to have a full out.That aside they should BOTH remembered for a glorious part of a our Clubs history.If only they could put there personal differences aside - there is still a faint chance we could get back some of the 'glory days'.I genuinely feel they both want that and would happily buy them both a pint to get the ball rolling again.COYR
And where are we?
On the verge of league 2. In a stadium so empty that next season they are closing parts of it?
Whatever Murray did in the past was wiped out a long time ago. If you want to tell someone to 'move on' then I suggest you start with Murray. After all it's arguable that it is his inability to let a grudge go that led to the appointment of Dowie, the start of our decline, and continues with his blocking Varney.
It's a weird day. I think he'd be a cracking appointment.
He's done an excellent job with Oxford... twice they've reached the JPT Final, twice now they've had giant-killing FA Cup runs... Last season they did it whilst getting promoted from League Two and this season they're not far off the Play-Offs.
Curbishley as director of Football with a manager with a proven successful track record of promotions and high win rate. Not easy to find and won't be cheap but unless you get the manager right nothing else is worth worrying about.
Curbs all day. Powell had one very good season in the third tier. Curbs had us beating the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham etc on a regular basis, in the top tier. He increased attendances 5 fold during his tenure. Yes he was over cautious at times, but CP was even more cautious, against lesser opposition, in a lower division. I can't understand why so many of you would prefer Powell over Curbs. It's not as if he's too old, he's still reasonably young for a manager. Yes the game may have changed, but he's kept engaged with the game and would soon adapt to the progression that's occurred. For me, the jury is still out on CP's managerial ability ATM, Curbs is proven, both here and in his short period at West Ham.

I reckon Powell is more realistic than Curbs though.
Plus it depends how Curbs has evolved... One thing I remember Alex Ferguson saying after he retired was that he found he had to keep changing his style of Football as it evolved throughout the years (something I can imagine wasnt easy), also believe this is one thing Wenger has failed on.
Yes Curbs was able to do well when we were in the Premier League with us and yes he's been a coach with Fulham but he's not been the main Manager, tactics and formations etc. have changed massively over recent years, not to mention Player Power!!
Curbs, mind you looking at the Parkinson track record since wrongly sacked by us I'd settle for him. Doesn't need to spend money, just makes others' cast offs work for him. And I would be happy to see CP back amongst us. Perhaps we should go for him and Gary Rowlett, pretty certain they wouldn't be stupid enough to come.

As for Murray, what is the man thinking of.
I am joking by the way.

His tenure was cut short rather than him leaving having taken us as far as he could (ie, Curbishley).
As has been said so many times before, if SCP was given the funds and time then I have no doubt we'd had made the play offs in the Championship.
Unfinished business. It would be good to see him back where he belongs.
....and Jacko in some capacity would be the icing on the cake
Powell is of course the obvious choice.

Powell as manager
JJ assistant manager.
If a new owner was to do this he would have 100 %backing from the fans and we really would have our Charlton back
It was Zamora 1-0 at home?
