Charlie to Sunderland (Merged)

[glasfryn]

There is actually the possibility that they came to blows over the Palace match, that this is why they were both dismissed, but that they have worked it out and are moving on, which is what some people on here are incapable of doing..... which is their problem, not mine, or Gus's or Charlie's or Tanno's. It is possible for people to fall out and then make it up again - or maybe any punch-up was just an indication of their passion.

But then again, quite possibly there was no punch-up. But those three have moved on. So should we.

something we could do with a little of now

Oatway will be a disaster up there .

Are you aware that Charlie has his UEFA A badge? He only needs the Pro badge to progress further. He's not just the resident clown as many would like to believe.

Exactly. They don't just hand these UEFA badges out like confetti. What are your footballing qualifications djfg?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Good luck to them all. They'll need it.

I'm pleased for all 3 especially Charlie and I hope they are a success there

I was always under the impression that the main reason Gus joined the backroom staff at the Albion, was down to the fact that he was still one of the lads, knew the players inside out, and was good in and around the dressing room, far more than his abilities as a coach anyway.

What worries me now is, has Charlie ever been north of his beloved Shepherds Bush before?, and how well will a cockney get on on Wearside? lol

Seriously though, l wish all three of them the best, they were great for our club, and l hope, and expect the three of them to keep Sunderland in the Premier League, where WE should have been this season.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Whooooosie, sorry about my earlier post, l meant of course 'why CHARLIE joined the backroom staff'

 

[MattBackHome]

Can we now consign the rumour (stated as fact on here) that Charlie stuck one on Gus after the Palace game as a load of old balls then.

Rumour + NSC = Fact

Will Sunderland let Charlie write a hilarious column in their programme, do you think?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Yes, but the locals won't understand it.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

I don't really care about any of it.

- or maybe any punch-up was just an indication of their passion..

I had in my head that any punch up would probably have been between someone who WAS passionate and someone who hadn't been on the night.

I thought Charlie has just sign as a squad player for Whitehawk!?

As I said yesterday, before I read that article, I thought it referred to CO junior. Charlie senior is no longer capable of playing.

Would have thought they are referring to the wrong Oatway there.

Charlie Snr playing again is a better story though!

It would be a miracle if they could reconstruct his ankle. How ironic that it was QPR that finished his playing career.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Oatway was & always will be an attention seeking idiot.
Couldn't stand him at Brighton, thought he was just a hanger on.

Nice try at
When I responded to a similar derogatory post about Bruno a while back, I was laughed at for being hooked.

Not this time you

 

[Easy 10]

Well he's certainly landed on his feet there.

I can't help but think the squad there will be a bit "Charlie who ??". They now have a lower divison scuffler involved with coaching some seasoned internationals and experienced pro's, who have spent their entire careers playing at a level Charlie could only ever dream of as a player. And yes, there are some highly successful coaches and managers who never made it as players, but they've usually got some form of top flight experience to draw upon, whereas the pinnacle Charlie has on his CV is working at Brighton in the second division.

But he's worked hard, got the badges, and Gus clearly has a lot of faith in him so he obviously has something he brings to the table in that coaching setup. It'll be interesting how he fits in though. Its one thing being the cheeky chappy who is part of the furniture at a club like the Albion - quite another to take that persona and drop it straight into a Premier League squad of players out of the blue like this. It could be something of a culture shock for them, and as we've recently seen, they're not shy in coming forward if theres something they're not happy about.

Wish him all the best though, he deserves this break after how it turned out for him down here.

No. The cones will be the same size and shape.
