Dowie leaves Charlton!

Psycho Ned · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:23

Story breaking on Sky Sports News.

Statement on Tuesday apparently.

Wonder whats gone on there? Bit early to be pushing the panic button.

Though I do like him, I don't want to see my local team in the current position its in.

cheets64 · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:31

lol, tbh I saw it coming but sooner than I thought.

charltonfan1 · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:32

Did he leave or was he sacked?

Edit: BBC say "The former Crystal Palace boss did lead Charlton to the Carling Cup quarter-final last week but it was not enough to save his job"

I'm a bit surprised to see him go so early but he had a hard act to follow in Curbishley. I think he punched way above his weight and did extremely well with very few decent players. I think the position they find themselves in now is only a few places lower than they could've realistically expected with their squad.

It's funny how a manager can change the fortunes of a club. You only need to look at how well Villa are doing with a very similar team to that of last year to know how good O'Neill is. The same can be said about Curbishley leaving Charlton although he'll have to prove himself at a bigger club to gain the respect he deserves.

Curbs back to CAFC please!

charltonfan1 · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:37

the thing is that we have a better squad this season than ever before so i would have expected us to be doing better

HAHA

Well he lasted a long time!

Straight swap maybe
Taylor> Charlton
Dowie> Back to ****hurst!

Cya Charlton your Premiership days are over

cheets64 · 13 Nov 2006 at 19:43

Sven will be odds on and I can only see them going for an experienced manager, I bet that Palace chairman is loving this.

I think Palace would take that deal in an instant if it were ever offered, given their current state.

They wont they will just keep going on about it and ring up ex players and ask for there opinion, you do not need a 24 hour sports channel,.

theyve got Simon Jordan on, and he is being suprisingly mature.
