    Very good choice I think

    Was harshly treated as the fall guy @ Southampton and has already got experience working within the FA

    If only he had stayed as a coach for us his reputation would still be high with all of our fans, when he worked with Curbs, he was the best

    Uncle Les; Gerrard won't ever make it. He's not good enough.

    I also remember hearing a rumour that when he was our coach...the Charlton academy side stole his tie.

    That's why I love him.

    Good luck to him. He knows A LOT about football.

    He certainly does - in fact he's probably forgot more than we know.

    Good luck, Les - one of the good guys.

    I always felt sorry for him when Laidlaw Ford gave Curbs a brand new Scorpio while Les had to make do with an Escort. Well who had the last laugh Alan eh?
