The board are no good and nor is the chief executive. We need a root and branch clear out. The board can only be restuctured if they sell so in the interim ibn order to make us more marketable we need to do everything possible to retain Championship status, that means we must change the manager. After the match on saturday Parkinson said "the better team one". Exactly we have not a team because of player failings and the failure of the management to create a team ethos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-31830320013671895562008-12-07T18:35:00.000+00:002008-12-07T18:35:00.000+00:00I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The problem is we need a new board not necessarily a new manager.<BR/><BR/>Charlton's success over adversity from the mid 80's stemmed from having a board seeking to move the club forward. Initially the aim was to get back home, then to expand the stadium and support. The current board (who can blame them in the current economic crisis), neither have the money or will to resolve our problems.<BR/>Without resources no manager can turn our season around. Those dismissing Parkinson - wake up - he has had 3 games. We are in a deep hole - bring back Lennie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-28233530540220643352008-12-07T16:05:00.000+00:002008-12-07T16:05:00.000+00:00There are the quick and there are the dead.

We need to be decisive but we seem blinded by the light unable to move.<BR/>Parkinson is part of the problem. We clearly are not going to get Big Sam so we must go for next best option. I say Billy Davies or Aidy Boothroyd. I predict a defeat Tuesday night and we must make a new appointment by end of week.It already appears too late. Those hoping some other clubs hoping for others to go in administration are whistling in the dark. We have to take responsibility for our future and not rely on others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-3815205693842639792008-12-07T10:40:00.000+00:002008-12-07T10:40:00.000+00:00To make it worse I see Varney scored yesterdayDPFC...To make it worse I see Varney scored yesterday<BR/><BR/><BR/>DPFCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-57280199571822404162008-12-07T10:20:00.000+00:002008-12-07T10:20:00.000+00:00'And now the end is near'Nothing can turn this aru...'And now the end is near'<BR/>Nothing can turn this arund, the result of so many bad decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-32281780509554391292008-12-07T09:38:00.000+00:002008-12-07T09:38:00.000+00:00Don't know about 'end of the pier' It's beginning ...Don't know about 'end of the pier' It's beginning to look like the end of the road for Charlton Athletic.<BR/>I can see relegation leading up to administration!

We have no real quality upfront and nobody who seems to be able to finish. You always get chances in games even when things are going badly and you just have to take them and then ride your luck. We simply aren't doing that and it is very hard to see how we are going to get enough wins to survive. By my reckoning we've now taken just 44 points from the last 46 games. Last season that would have placed us behind Scunthorpe and 9 points from safety. I haven't seen the odds but we must be strong favourites for the drop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-16374884941839205872008-12-06T17:18:00.000+00:002008-12-06T17:18:00.000+00:00Grim reading Wyn.
