Overall I am very grateful to him. He would leave us in credit and did brilliantly putting last season's squad together and a squad that competed this season. But absolutely I think I can criticise him. When he needed to really chase the points he tried to hold on to them in the crucial final games.
I was told the plan for Phillips was to go to West Brom as their second choice keeper if they went up.
Shame for him to backup, could see him ending up like Elliott. If he leaves he should go where he's going to be first choice.
He still needs another year with us to develop, although he made some great saves this season that kept us in games, he made some errors that cost us. The goals scored by hull at home, millwall home, Birmingham away and Wigan at home (1st), he could have done better.
if he stays and plays or Plays another season in the championship he will develop into a very good premier league goal keeper. If he goes somewhere to sit on the bench, that’s where he will remain.
I think your comments have a lot of merit but zero reality. Dillon was very poorly rewarded until quite recently and I doubt his wages are jaw dropping now. Given the current situation at CAFC where should he stay he might not actually remain a professional footballer if we go tits up, he can choose to remain or go to a Premier League club on probably five times his wages. He will also feel that he has enough confidence in his own ability and will win the number one jersey. Goodbye and good luck Dillon. You’ve actually been a really good GK for us. Get out while the goings good.
I typed it knowing the reality is zero, but it’s what he needs.
Let’s hope PV/AB are talking to him / getting word to him they want him around and asking him to sit tight for a few weeks if they think they can make some headway with ESI.
He needs more than a promise from PE that plans are in hand.

Does it make sense to play attacking football when you have a team that will do well to score once?
If he had more attacking threats in the squad no doubt his subs would have looked much better.
I don,t honestly want to think about this question until we have some clarification regarding ownership and therefore budget for the forthcoming season.
TBH, I would like to think Bow,s decision will be based on these crucial issues too as deep down, he knows he could get us promoted once again under the right conditions and with the right backing.He would be confident that he would remain in the highest esteem of the faithful regardless of last season,s outcome.
Although the timescale is not in our favour, hopefully there will be some clear indication of the way things are moving in the next week or two and as such our gaffer would then need to make the decision about his immediate future.
For my part, I,d love him to stay . Bow and Charlton Athletic deserve more time together.
But it should be what he feels is best for him and his family.
Twenty percent chance Bowyer will be here at the start of next season.
?
No inside info (as if!) Someone else posted zero chance, but I think his love of the club might make him stay if there’s a glimmer of hope...
If he does leave, what decent manager would want to come here right now? Although I guess JJ would be favourite.
The club means a lot to him, but he has left once already in very different circumstances, this time only the most ardent of supporters of the club would remain and for all of Bow's qualities he just simply looks like he has had enough and I don't blame him.
Players and Mangers can change club's, us supporters are stuck with our choice.
Loved Bowyer, he is a very good manager in the making and has done a great job for us. However, he is a custodian like the managers and the players before him. Our future will not be decided by Bowyer or any player it will be ultimately the next ownership that is the most important factor looking forward.
We are in a financial crisis of epic proportions and regardless of who is the manager we need money and stability. In these times none of us can be sure we will receive either.
Good luck to Bowyer in the future but right now I don’t care who the manager is or what players stay, we have much bigger issues to solve. Onwards and upwards.
Barnsley and Luton went for it with similar quality and we didn't. He has done extremely well for us since taking over. but I was questioning him more and more this season. Not using Sarr more, negative tactics etc... Nobody is perfect, but not sure keeping Bowyer is the biggest of our issues at the moment.
I am sorry but what the F—K are you talking about? Bowyer is Charlton Athletic and our most important asset moving forward if the EFL wake up and approve the latest deal on the Table. i hope he stays I really hope he stays.
Bowyer is an ex player with an affinity with the club but he is an ex player. If he has a significantly better offer, he will be off as he was off as a player. It sounds like I have something against him but I haven't. That is the difference between supporting a club and having a career at a club. Chrissy Powell came back and tried to beat us as a manager whilst you can never doubt his affection for us. Kermogant came back and absolutely murdered us on the pitch. It is what you do when it is your career.
He has done a terrific job for us and I was genuinely excited that we had a manager that seemed to try and win every game when he started. With meagre budgets he did amazingly getting decent squads together. I'm sure the fact we were the club he started at gave him an added satisfaction.
But if somebody thinks all of this means he is Charlton, they are wrong. And if you have you have to tint your glasses with so much rose paint that you are not allowed to identify faults that many supporters saw, that is your choice. Seb is Charlton. The fans are Charlton and if he goes we may find Jason Euell or Johnnie Jackson are decent managers. The important thing would be to thank Bowyer, especially for that fantastic day at Wembley. Something us Charlton fans rarely experience and look to the future. And that is the most important thing for us right now. Our future and what it holds. And I don't mean on the pitch.
Bowyer is the only link we the fans have had with the club, and has been since he took over.
The fantastic support home and away has been because Bowyer was our manager. Players and fans were all on his journey.
I will be more gutted if he leaves than I was at being relegated.
100% and I have been absolutely devastated that we have been relegated, hence not really being on here or anything much. I’ve been quite low this week. But losing Bow, which I am expecting, will bring me right back down.
He has been amazing for us, what he has done to bring us together, pull and drag us in the direction he did, get us promoted and united against all odds, only relegated by a 93rd minute goal elsewhere, all constantly with his hands tied behind his back, the floor pulled from beneath his feet, players walking out on him and the club, no one else could’ve done any better.
I hoped that things would be better and he could stay and build us for years. With the right support, he would be able to get us very competitive in this league and push for the Premier League. He’s a fantastic young manager who will go on and prove it somewhere else. Anyone really questioning him and the work he’s done this season needs their head examined.

The next 2 years are crucial we could find ourselves in The National League by then.

i hope he stays I really hope he stays.
Bit like Lockyer's situation would be a bit silly if we lost either of them and then it got confirmed we were staying in the Championship
Not that I'm expecting it to happen in the slightest
