    Wouldn't write off Powell just yet!
    And why not? he appears to have written himself off fairly clearly.
    No. He wrote himself off to be a caretaker. Big difference. No idea if he is interested, but it doesn't mean he is writing himself out of the job on a full term basis.
    I hoped @DubaiCAFC had a bit more than this, but clearly not. 

    If the market knows you have a full time job on offer, the only sensible time when you suggest an interim role is if you believe the candidate is under-qualified. Quite patently Powell is at least as qualified  as any of the clowns being discussed here. After all none of them have led a team to the League One title with 101 points, and this with just six months previous experience. 

    Chris Powell strikes me as a man of enormous dignity, full of respect for others and for himself. He was grieviously mis-treated by Duchatelet, and for sure has heard an awful lot about Charlie Methven.

    I daresay he has also not forgotten the title of a long thread on here by all those wonderful Charlton fans : “Powell’s football is terrible”.
    I mean, it pretty much was near the end of his tenure, we're allowed to both love and respect the man and criticise his tactics

    If it is partly about uniting the fanbase and getting the club moving forward as one, I know the ownership are well aware Chris Powell being announced and coming out the tunnel, would supply that more than any other appointment. By a stretch.



    More than Curbs? I think quite a few people remember the football under Powell towards the end, it was crap (I don't want either tbh, but would bck them)
    But to provide some context, the spivs had pulled the plug financially and we had a very poor squad that season and Duchatelet comes in sells Kermorgant, Stephens and Alnwick replaces them with a load of network rubbish and puts pressure on the manager to pick the new players including the worst excuse for a goalie I have seen in over 50 years of supporting us. The football may have been crap at times but is wasn't all Powell's fault.
    Kermongant refused to play and Stephens was allowed to go because he desperately wanted to move back up north (to Brighton)
    still believing the liar's version of these events, eh?
    it is true though, he wanted a new bigger contract on more money so refused to play the games that would activate a years extension of his contract at the time 
  • Some people on here have said that Bowyer should not be manager because apparently he upset some of our players last time with harsh words. That would never do. I surely couldn't imagine the likes of Alex Ferguson or Brian Clough doing anything so dastardly!
    Oh christ can we not resurrect that argument, it was done to death at the time.  
  • If you only appoint a comedian as CAFC manager who would you choose?

    Sean Lock (RIP)was a great fav of mine might get some surreal formations, of the rest I think Henning Wehn would be tops as we all know Germans know how to play football.

    Micky Flanagan for the authentic cockney? 

    Dara  O' Briain..super intelligent

    Simon Evans- should be able to sort out the right wing

    Stephen K Amos- good for HT talks at high volume

    Ken Dodd(RIP)- plenty of money in the attic

    Lee Nelson- knows about football finance and has already appeared in a European competition line up

    or David Brent.....

    Sorry just got bored with same old names for manager

    From what I have heard today, we have gone back in for him.. Was a bit of a mistake I believe offering Interim role, and as you say Powell is a man of integrity, so let see what plays out, I understand he is the first choice.. If it happens is a different matter! 

    I thought possibly having Bowyer come back would be exciting after what he did before

    But Powell coming home again would be on another level of nostalgia and emotions whether it works out is anothing thing but imagine the first game back to a roaring Valley with powelly leading the team out😍

    Amateurs!!

    You call it a mistake. I call it complete incompetence.
    This! Complete amateurs, it’s embarrassing!

    And a huge tick in the " What do we think of the SMT ? " column.

    A win win situation IMO.

    Would rather Emma Hayes than the Cowleys, altho we couldn't afford her
    Emma Hayes would find it insulting to even be approached, why the f*ck would you leave being manager of Chelsea, in the Champions League and current domestic title holders, to manage Charlton? May as well ask Pep Guardiola. 
    hahahaha. Gimp.
    Ooohhh random name calling on a message board, you're well hard mate 👍🏻
    The mere presence of the women’s game upsets some people, the idea one would turn us down is pant wetting for them.
    Hilarious.

    I think it is brilliant how far the women's game has come in terms of standard alone in the last 10 years, actively watch games when I can and enjoy Emma Hayes' tactical insight over the same old drivel/lack of tactical nuance of Keown, Dixon and Richards for example.

    It is the pretend outrage from the OP that it would be somehow insulting for Hayes to be approached by a club as prestigious as Charlton Athletic, fallen on hard times or not, that pissed me off. What she has achieved with Chelsea women's team is great but for a woman to trailblaze and take charge of a mens league 1 club and have success would be huge. 

    For her to be offered the job is anything but insulting. 
    Fair enough.

    Not taking away any of his achievements, just playing devils advocate, think Curbs would be more overwhelmingly supported than Powell

    We’ll need a poll, but I wouldn’t have thought so. When was Curbs last in a management role?

    But you cracking on pal.
    Sorry 'pal' but I think it says 'AFC WIMBLEDON' not 'CHARLTON ATHLETIC' in the article.

    And what's the difference? You think we're that much more of a draw? Did you even read what she said on the matter? 
  • if powell is to make a come back... wow. Might actually be optimistic. Would love another couple of years like we had on the champions season and the following season where we just missed out on a champ play off place.
  • Whats Rooney doing at the moment?, wonder if Kenny Jackett has his phone switched on?
