I'm sure there will be a chorus of CP's RA but I won't be joining in because there was too much about our football over the last year which I didn't like at all. But it still stinks the way he was sacked, and the way the OS is almost airbrushing him away. In fact the way Roland is running the club stinks.

Nailed it <cheers>
 
I fully understood the analogy, I just felt it was a ridiculous one. We can all lament the classless way that it was handled but the bottom line is that based on performance (important word, that), we have six league wins all season, are the lowest scorers in the country, and had just run the white flag up on national TV. All under CP's watch.

Your reply says it all - you didn't read the full text which noted that whether we felt he had failed himself or had others fail him he was due some respect. You obviously don't believe that is true and your small mindedness disgraces you.
 
Reflecting on today it seems a little like a death in the family. We all knew that not everything was well and that the illness could be fatal. We had different diagnosis as to what the malaise was, whether the patient was being starved as some of us thought or as others believed, the patient had lost the plot and was slowly killing themselves. However all of us have great memories of CP and even those who threatened euthanasia probably have a small tear in their eye.
We should make tomorrow a wake supporting the club in the best way but maybe a minutes silence at three minutes in.

The trouble is that most belgians have been certified as having had emotion by passes so will not recognise the feelings expressed.

They will probably believe that the silence is respect for the fact that riga mortis has joined as coach.

Glue your false teeth in before you start hyper ventilating. Before you get on your hind legs to dig me out, please get your facts right. Here is your original post again. Your analogy referring to illness and death about a guy on a SIX FIGURE salary who had three months left on his contract, was a ridiculous one IMO. It is the sort of facile emoting which also brought thousands onto the streets in tears when Michael Jackson died. Only this time, nobody has died. All that has happened is that an already wealthy man who has not performed that well this season has got even wealthier. A lot of fans would not mind CP's salary pay off. As for the comment about most fans having a tear in their eye, not unless there were lots of flying ants about in London yesterday.
 
Getting in a manager who has only managed at Conference level.... and then not very well....... ain't going to help Ken

I know it's the daily Alice but the facts don't change <ok>

Chris Powell lost his job trying to protect the Club and fans he loves....... now it's time for the fans stand up to the Belgian ****!

you'd have to say, "whats the point?" - the boo boys got their way. we'll now just be a bog standard 3rd tier team with ever changing players with names none of us can pronounce. we'll not be "charlton" charlton anymore, just another club. substandard liege.

I've said it a few times now....AFC CHARLTON!!!! not like immediately, but once we change our kit to Purple and change to Standard Athletic... then I'm up for it

No.Not the boo-boys. Years of mismanagement. And the man in charge was a fan, don't forget.
 
Another blind inaccurate post. News Shopper poll (I don't know how many respondents in the poll) "Were Charlton right to sack Chris Powell?" 15% YES 85% NO http://www.newsshopper.co.uk/sport/..._Powell___sparking_supporter_anger/?ref=mmssp

They may not all have tears in their eyes but the feeling is strong.

Ok, as we are all clutching at straw polls, I spoke to 4 Charlton fans yesterday - I am father to two of them - and not one of them gave a toss about Powell's sacking.

I make that 100% support <party>

Large amount of fans were singing Chrissy Powell's red army at Sheffield United, that was the game I turned on him after his negative tactics are going 2-0 down, but I wouldn't say I didn't give a toss.

And Vol, 2 of them being your kids, surely that means that your views are rubbing off of them too? Just as my dad's views on somethings rub off on me.
 
If you seriously think there will be "13,000-15,000" there tonight, please can you send me a small parcel of whatever you have been puffing on?

It suited all sorts of fans for all sorts of Machiavellian reasons to brandish their support of Sir Chris like a shroud but face it, SIG...you lost. The stark facts spoke for themselves. 6 wins. 24 goals. Alex Dyer in his shorts.

It is over <party>

there's never going to be evidence that is comparable to say who has lost. its not something we should even have to deal with - which is the greater loss. CP wasnt backed in the championship, the new guy will be, in sorts. you cant compare that. we've now lost the charlton feeling about the club. you think 13-15 is an over exaggeration, wait till next season chap! when they announce 7-8000 and you know half of them aint bloody there. will you still be shouting about 100% support then?

just irked me yesterday, there i was driving home and then i see you celebrating outside the dole queue. takes the p1ss

Pathetic attempt to substantiate yourself and clear identification of your small minded inability and lack of generosity. Yes he may have been on a "six figure salary" but to quote the late Bob Crow who was similarly challenged by the small minded he was "worth it"
As I have to put it in simple words for you the analogy was that: whether you thought he had lost it as a manager or like many on here believed that he was a capable manager who was dealt a bum hand, we all have great memories of him as a player who gave everything for the club and his departure is not something to be triumphal over.
If you do not even recognise his contribution as a player then I do not believe you can call yourself a supporter.

I do not know whether you will make an appearance at the Valley tonight, your work load in the house permitting, but you appear to support some form of protest against the Belgian, but do not appear to have said what. Any ideas or are you just a theatre critic in disguise.




I must be getting angry to quote a Millwall supporter.
 
CP must be remembered as a fine player and a decent manager who brought us many wonderful memories.

He should have left with Kermit and Stephens, though. No one would have blamed him or doubted his commitment.

I'll follow his career with great interest, but my energy is now focused on our club and how we move on from this sorry mess.

Here, here!

Although when the Liege players all start tonight I'll be booking my ticket for the Riga out train
