Kewell and Bowyer are good mates so he would probably keep him on as assistant manager.Wheresmeticket? said:Kewell? As in manager of 13th in league 2 Crawley?
Yay.0 -
Bowyer worked with kewell for a bit coaching at Watford under 21s, pretty sure he’d keep bowyer on if offered. We ain’t got the ‘ump with the new owners already have we ffs.1

Not that I want Kewell but if they have one of the smallest budgets in the division and expected to be fighting relegation then 13th is overachieving.Wheresmeticket? said:Kewell? As in manager of 13th in league 2 Crawley?

It would be mad if Kewell was installed as manager - his only qualification seems to be that he's Australian. He doesn't have any connection to our club and doesn't have a record of success as a manager.
Wouldn't really get the support on side and seems a questionable appointment?17 -
Give the job to Bowyer and Jackson till the end of the season and then see where we are.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:It would be mad if Kewell was installed as manager - his only qualification seems to be that he's Australian.

@AFKABartram - Think the thread title should be updated as we are now "Next Week" maybe change it to "Aussies expecting to complete sometime this millennia..."6

Maybe this whole Kewell thing is a red herring and the only reason it's been mentioned is because of the Aussie connection rather than there being any real truth to the rumour.9

Thats been my take on it the whole time. Kewell even came out and said the same last week.WestCountryAddick said:Maybe this whole Kewell thing is a red herring and the only reason it's been mentioned is because of the Aussie connection rather than there being any real truth to the rumour.

I don’t want to be too negative.
But at first we moaned that our belguim owners are focussing too much on Belgium managers or managers from the Belgium league.
If the Aussies took over, and then appointed Kewell, which to me looks based on the merit he’s Australian.. what’s the difference?6 -
This would seem sensible in the short term at least.blackpool72 said:

so if a British consortium takes over that's Bowyers chances out of the window then.CharltonByBlood said:I don’t want to be too negative.

If he comes in as CEO or Chairman etc. then its clear sign that these Aussies dont plan on surrounding themselves with Aussies
Its partly why I still think that Kewell is nothing more than press talk4 -
Well Harry kewell was a marginally better player that say bob peeters has managed before in England and has significantly more experience of the English game1

I see that Roland has been posting in his twitter account about his life's philosophy.

I would imagine that they have compiled a list and Kewell would be high on it. I cant see how that means they would risk a chance of promotion by making an immediate change.0
-
My take is that we are still being given a load of crap by a vindictive regime and that no sale is imminent, thus making these Kewell discussions irrelevant.
In discussing Kewell as our next manager, those doing so are obviously convinced that the Oz takeover is as good as done.....well I for one am not at all sure it has!
I also wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Meire isn't in the background doing some winding up on Goldfinger's behest on message boards and with the media re the takeover.....who is better placed than her to deliberately antagonize us Addicks.....after all, she's been doing just that for the last four years hasn't she.

Where are you Pelling? Horley (Born and raised) isn't much better than Crawley (lived there a few years) and Horsham (Home now) is like a different world in terms of how much better it is...Pelling1993 said:

Quite a few people were saying last week that keeping Robinson on was the sensible thing to doMuttleyCAFC said:I would imagine that they have compiled a list and Kewell would be high on it. I cant see how that means they would risk a chance of promotion by making an immediate change.
"give him a chance with the new owners' money" they said.
I prefer to wait until the takeover has actually happened before second guessing who they will pick as manager.3 -
As someone who once made the mistake of moving to the Maidenbower Estate in Crawley (started to look to move after 6 months) I tend to agree.Pelling1993 said:

And Maidenbower is ''the good part'' I lived in Poundhill for a year or so when I was 10 or 11, and then Langley Green until I was 14.cafc-west said:

Why appoint Kewell full stop? He means nothing to our club and is not therefore someone who would unite the club, nor is he a stand out coach.JamesSeed said:

Yay.
I would have thought any new owner would be fully aware of our recent history and would have enough common sense to engage with fans before rushing into decisions.
