I think Chris Powell is the right appointment...Wyn,<br />I think Chris Powell is the right appointment for Charlton at this time:-<br />1) Young and fresh (brings no baggage or fixed ideas)- hence he will be willing to learn and flexible in his management of the club.<br />2) Will be correctly priced in line at the new board's financial planning.<br />3)He is a Charlton legend - the fans will be much more patient with him than with an experienced prima donna. He knows to club inside out and the importance of fan and community links.<br />4)His previous employer, Leicester City, did not want to lose him - that says something to me about the quality of the man. <br /><br />Doubters should remember that Curbs had little or no management experience when they appointed Steve Gritt and him as joint managers after Lennie Lawrence departed to. And that was in a higher division. Look what happened! All to often clubs like Bournmouth in the lowest ranks of the English game give young prospects a chance and then, if success occurs, the vultures from the higher echalons circle to poach them. Well I for one am very pleased they have given youth (if you can call Chris a youth at 41!) a chance.<br />Yuor suggestion that he retains Keith Powell in a supporting role is very good and I hope it happens as Keith has such a wealth of knowledge to impart.<br />All the very best<br /><br />Behind Enemy LinesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329889984642264422.post-57722962697839549752011-01-15T10:21:07.914+00:002011-01-15T10:21:07.914+00:00Sorry to be pedantic Wynn but I understand that th...Sorry to be pedantic Wynn but I understand that the Play Off finals will not be scheduled at Wemberleeee as it is hosting the Chumps League final. <br /><br />Good analysis though and a play off berth will not be a disaster if Sir Chris can improve the team by May. The quality of div 3 is not as strong as last season - see how well the three promoted teams are fairing in this season's Championship - so our chances of play off success cod be improved if we improve. <br /><br />It's definitely got the juices flowing!!<br /><br />EG AddickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
