powell charlton manager

SOUTH LONDON PRESS TODAY | SPORT | Powell is new Charlton boss

 

[severnside gull]

fataddick is pretty happy with it and rightly so IMO. Should be a good appointment without breaking the bank.
Novice status hopefully means it will take him a few weeks to find his feet and that will be enough to ensure they are only chasing the play-offs leaving an automatic place to us

 

[227 BHA]

Good luck to him but he'll always know (like Salad did for us) that he wasn't first choice?

 

[porkypie]

Shocking appointment!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

They had a midfielder years ago Colin powell (?) is that him ?

 

[gjh1971]

Strange appointment, seems like the cheap option to me

 

[Leekbrookgull]

The ex-England fullback ?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Can't be arsed opening the link but it's great news if it is Chris Powell. There aren't enough IC3 managers in English football and CP seems like a decent sort with his head properly screwed on.

 

[beorhthelm]

The ex-England fullback ?

yes. hopefully do well, from all accounts one of the true pros in the game.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Refreshing that both Palace and Charlton have gone for 'inside' men, and yes you could say it's a cheap option, but so much better than the usual tedious merry-go-round of Sam Alladyce, Pardew, Mark Mcghee and their ilk, who slowly work their way round every club in the UK.

 

[The French Mistress]

Sure it's not the Women's England manager ?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Always seemed a decent bloke. Good luck to him. Looks a bit of a punt though. This may be Gus's first manager's job - but he had done his time as assistant.

 

[Fungus]

Recently coach at Leicester, and very highly respected.

 

[MJsGhost]

Hope Powell?!

 

[seagull_special]

Would be very happy to see Charlton finish second (behind us) with Powell at the helm, with Eccleton from Liverpool and a bit of stability they could come into the reckoning.

 

[The French Mistress]

Hope Powell?!

Keep up, now, look up at 2233 last night !

 

[Caveman]

I thought Poyet was going to Charlton as he lived near their charman.

I thought Poyet was going to Charlton as he lived near their charman.

I think he turned the job down because, as he is already on record as saying, he didn't want to manage his own son

 

[cattlin'srockshop]

very down to earth and humble man. Improved enormously as a player from his Southend days and was well worth his few England caps by the end. Has served an apprenticeship at leicester and good luck, though not too much, to him.
