    Why would we want Powell back? He is hardly pulling up trees at Southend. Lee Bowyer and Johnny Jackson are doing an excellent job.

    Powell must have been "under pressure" as they say after 4 successive defeats at Southend, before SAturday's win. I hope he turns things round, but even if he doesn't it won't detract from his contribution at Charlton, as player and manager.

    For how much longer - the rest of this season?
    I'm not talking about the people who decide to work for RD and his fake regime, I'm talking about the real CAFC - as it will be again once it has a new owner.
    The new owners will decide who gets to be manager.

    But I thought you said that the Takeover was a smokescreen. Your threads are becoming increasingly bizarre and contradictory. Bowyer and Jackson are doing a good job, just enjoy the results they are getting. I want a new owner as much as anyone, but he is not going anywhere soon.

    Honestly do you actually believe what you write, Paranoid ramblings.
    Lee Bowyer over Powell all day long as well, just because you hate all things Charlton at the moment don't let it cloud how well Bowyer and jacko are doing in their first Managerial roles.
    just look at social media loads of fans really positive and enjoying the feel good factor of the team.

    There is a joke with your second paragraph.

    If any new owner wants to get fans onside he'd be well advised to offer BowJacko an extended contract. Sacking them would be a rerun of sacking Powell. And Riga first time round.

    Seeing Powell at the Chris Solly dinner last night made me feel slightly nauseous - ditto the predictable response its provoked elsewhere.

    He is an average manager. Apart from one season in L1 with us, he has been poor with 3 clubs. His managerial record is very similar to Karl Robinsons.

    The politically infatuated wallys really need to "move on".

    The 9th in the championship is also not a real representation of that season either we had a great run at the end when teams had switched off and that position hugely flattered us. some of our play under Powell was really not great to watch.
    Likeable man but would not be keen on him returning, he has big limitations as a manager

    You are absolutely right, his style of football was extremely turgid, particularly in the Championship.

    David Wagner improved Huddersfield out of all recognition after Powell was sacked.

    He has limitations,but also strengths. I'd be much more positive about him if he hadn't done the tunnel jumps. I still love him as a player.

    Michelle Obama makes some pertinent observations in her new biography about how what she describes as a certain type of white person reacts when they meet her husband. Mrs Obama says it, so it can't be racist.

    Very relevant on a different level at Charlton, with some of our fans (the Charlton Life wet blankets) and Powell.

    Lee Bowyer over Powell?
    Bowyer has achieved nothing yet.

    And if all those Charlton fans are enjoying themselves so much on social media why are attendances at the Valley still 1,500 DOWN on last season?
    Feel good factor? Denial of reality more like.
    The Club is dying on its feet and a few hundred people are raving on twitter about beating Bog-end Rovers and Nowhere Town in the 3rd tier.

    "All things Charlton" means nothing more than lies, fakery and cynical propaganda at the moment - and yes, I do hate those things. The Belgian insults CAFC every day with his disinterest and his bulls**t and still he is forgiven by happy clappers who are satisfied with a few decent results in the lower leagues against other no-mark teams.

    Accept no imitations. This Club and everything it once stood for is a sham until it comes under new ownership.

    82 in fact. Finished the season with a GD of +46.

    Chris Powell had one major advantage back then of course - he wasn't working for a clueless, disinterested old git.

    I love an angry man ...
    Look i enjoy watching Charlton and at the moment they are winning and there is a good vibe at games.
    If you want to go on some dark pointless conspiracy journey feel free just don't expect me not to laugh at your ridiculously over indulgent crap you keep spouting.
