As a virtual life long charlton fan i will reserve any judgement about which manager eventually fills the "hotseat" until at least another 12 months time. How many eyebrows were raised amongst Charlton fans when it was announced all those years ago that the board had appointed two joint managers neither of whom had any experience of club management. Look at where we were 15 years ago and look at where we are now, personally i applaud everything the Charlton board has done in the past to get the club into its current position  |

Anyone who pays £5m for Akinbiyi is ok in my book. They wont go down next season, Darren Bent and the dross coming up from the CCC will ensure this.

Can you imagine being a Charlton fan and knowing that someone would rather stay at Hull than manage Charlton.  |

So how many people had their money on Iain Dowie when this thread started? |

aye, i know a few people who backed him AFTER he resigned (I dont believe Simon Jordan to be one of them however) but i just wondered if anyone had backed him before he resigned - wonder what price you could have got...... |

I know there was at least 25/1 available before he resigned, when Taylor was odds on.

I'm delighted with the appointment of Dowie.
I may be proved wrong but I think he'll get the best out of the current squad. But the most important thing is how much it's upset simon jordan.
etcyt jordan, etcyt as we say in SE7

Dowie has come out of this in a bad light and if Jordan is telling the truth Dowie is going to end up paying through the nose for the contract clause for £1million plus risk of legal fees. i can only guess he was poorly advised, but sound like he was advised by a bloke down the pub to use the moving up north story. Does seem like an odd choice though. Ian Dowies record over last 2 years is to take Palace down and then to keep them down. Don't understand why this makes him the best choice for Charlton. What are the odds on them going down? |

like i said earlier i'm reserving judgement til he's had a full season in charge, brought it who he wants within the budget and released who isnt needed, i believe Bartlett, Johansson and Jeffers have not had their contracts renewed already. Hopefully we've still got a core of players good enough to keep us in the premiership (though a few attacking playmaking midfielders would be nice) and we can go from there.

Personally I feel that Charlton fans should be happy, Dowie is extremely upbeat and positive.
I think he'll do well for you and hope that he does.

firstly the valley is north of selhurst park. ok, it's by less than 3 miles but north is north.
secondly he was not under contract. Charlton conducted the interviews and drew up a shortlist. Dowie then quit and was approached by the club after being released from his previous contract
thirdly, the only witness to the conversation jordan is basing his writ on was dowie's brother. good luck with that one jordan.
as for his record, he took over a club in major crisis and worked miracles in his first season.
he then had a club who were completely out of their depth in the premiership and was so colse to keeping them up. If they'd just kept out that oh so sweet goal from jon fortune on the last day of the season they'd have stayed up.
