Chris Powell sacked today

Breaking story on the Telegraph website that Chris Powell is being fired by Huddersfield.

With a record of 3 wins from his last 15 games, he must be the preferred candidate of RD's to get the Charlton job

Oh...hold on a min

I don't think their fans ever warmed to him, but with that squad I thought he did a decent enough job.

 

Here starts the campaign of getting 'Sir' Chris back!!

 

"Nelson Out Peacock In". Anyone remember that demo?

 

Wouldn't it be great if we got Sir Chris back in

 

Never go back to an ex. I thought CP did well given the resources he had, and he had the cojones to tell RD how crap the first batch from the network were. Nut he also let Poyet slip from under the radar, and his ' square pegs in round holes' experiments were crap.
There's people like Lambert or Pearson out there. Get them in, with a decent CEO to control the signings. Curbs maybe?

 

...............unless his name is Llewellin Curbishley.

 

I love Powelly always will ...that promotion year was heaven

 

I would take him back in a shot, but not under this owner. He deserves better than that.

No idea about his personal circumstances, but I imagine he is not the type to have frittered away what must be considerable earnings as a player and manager. I hope he can afford to wait until the right offer comes along, ideally from our next owners,

 

Simply put he's not a very good manager

 

Huddersfield spend very little so do well to stay in this league I think he's done ok job there but him getting sacked may help us as they may well go down now

 

He had several key players sold under him, and consolidated them last season which was the plan.

I don't think they would have gone down this season. However, I'd argue there are better managers available, and I think this will be 'udders thinking.

 

Don't forget that Powell's team in the Championship played really bad, unattractive football.

I wish the bloke well but League 1 or 2 is where his future as a manager rests.

 

His football isn't attractive, but he managed to a 9th and 16th ('udders) place finish with two sides probably punching above their weight. His second season with us in the championship is tough to compare seeming the rubbish he got sent in January, whilst losing Yann and Stephens.

Lower champs/high league one is his standard IMO.

 

Powell is still about 20 ranks above Carol Fry however

 

My West Wickham under 11 coach was 20 ranks above Fraeye.

 

A cautious manager, was SCP. You can't knock his achievement in winning L1 the way he did, but once he retired as a player he should have left the tunnel jumps to the players, and after he was sacked I was relieved that Jose Riga didn't do it. As a player SCP will always be a legend though in my opinion, I loved watching his positional play, and the fact that wingers very very rarely got a cross in when they were facing him.

Articles like this actually do more damage for aspiring black managers IMO.
