Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Indestructable on November 13, 2006, 09:07:21 PM Serves him right.
Wants to move up north so he left Palace. Now he can move up North. rotflmfao Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: TightEnd on November 13, 2006, 10:13:29 PM after 4 and a half months?
blimey. I know he did the dirty on Palace (it was on Simon Jordan a completely odious man so I forgive him) but he's been poorly treated by Charlton. Anyone following Curbishley there would have struggled, Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: The Baron on November 13, 2006, 10:33:10 PM I agree Tighty - they were playing decent football too. For a 'patient' board they didn't last long!

Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Ironside on November 14, 2006, 06:44:04 AM I can't believe it, the man invented the word "bouncebackability" ffs enough reason to be banned from football for life Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Acidmouse on November 14, 2006, 12:17:21 PM Interesting this, my uncle who works for Charlton wont even tell me what happened and he usually is very open to me about whats been going on behind the scene's.
I am starting to think the players took exception to his style of management and had a mutiny. Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Rod Paradise on November 14, 2006, 01:14:56 PM I can't believe it, the man invented the word "bouncebackability" ffs enough reason to be banned from football for life Let alone the fact that he makes Davie Dodds look handsome ;) Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: The Baron on November 14, 2006, 01:48:23 PM Interesting this, my uncle who works for Charlton wont even tell me what happened and he usually is very open to me about whats been going on behind the scene's. I am starting to think the players took exception to his style of management and had a mutiny. It seems you are correct. From the official club statement: "In the situation we find ourselves in, it is also vital that everyone works as a team. Unfortunately, I have to say that has not been the case." Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 14, 2006, 02:01:18 PM Let alone the fact that he makes Davie Dodds look handsome ;) And to think we were exposed to Panini stickers with him on as small children too! However, Eric Gates was the undisputed champion of the day!

Just as likely to be Dowies relationship upwards as downwards.... Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Acidmouse on November 14, 2006, 04:39:35 PM So they promoted Les Reed as Perm. Head coach. Thats that then.
Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: ifm on November 14, 2006, 04:43:34 PM (it was on Simon Jordan a completely odious man so I forgive him) Have you seen the banter flying between Jordan and Blues chairman David Gold? absolutely brilliant :D :D Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Acidmouse on November 14, 2006, 04:49:50 PM Were they cursing us shegetz? lol
Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: TightEnd on November 14, 2006, 10:43:33 PM Appointing Les Reed, Dowie's assistant, as new manager.
Complete certainties to go down now. What an absurd appointment Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: Acidmouse on November 15, 2006, 12:29:54 PM Well basically the players refused to work with Dowie, and they warmed to the other staff/coaches. Dowie had become an isolated figure in his short time at Charlton trying to change too many things too quickly. He also tried to dictate too many aspects of the players lifes, many of which took exception to his meddling and basically told him to fek off.
*So I heard..* Title: Re: Charlton sack dowie Post by: boldie on November 15, 2006, 12:55:07 PM So they promoted Les Reed as Perm. Head coach. Thats that then. yeah well done charlton...guess they don't care about staying up then.
