New manager will be...

[Spaceman Spiff]

I wouldn't be overly concerned on that.

My understanding is that it was Powelly who was reluctant to get back into management and was taking a break from it.

Which is not at all surprising given the shocking treatment he had from dodgy owners at Charlton and Huddersfield.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

I agree. Chris Powell isn't available because he failed somewhere else. Sure there is an impressive list of out of work managers but in most cases that is because they have failed. See MK Dons have just sacked their manager, so another one to add to an ever growing list. Just wonder whether if they are on the list of Brown's dream jobs !

Just can't wait for Chris to get started.

 

[AndyT]

Me too.

Looking forward to Saturday when he is introduced to the crowd.

There'll be a real buzz about the place.

COYB! :happy:

What concerns me slightly is that with all the management changes in recent times Chris Powell is still without a managers job.

Let me just put my rose tinted spectacles on..

Perhaps he’s been put off management by how he has been treated whilst one, especially at Charlton where fans seem to have enjoyed his time there but the owners messed him about.

For all Rons faults, 3 managers in 15 years is incredible when you consider some teams are on their third manager of the season. Seeing how much time managers are given must make us a slightly more attractive proposition over some other jobs that have been available.

There is also the lure of the new stadium, oops, were Little, Wignall, Martin,Newman, Tilson, Sturrock, and Brown told that too?

... yep and Rowley and Smith! :winking:

The new manager issss " The Invisable Man " that's my guess. All this waiting and more waiting is getting a joke now. Don't think RM has anyone in place yet. Let alone any possible signings, poor planning me thinks !:unsure:

I will have to dig out my 1975 QPR FAC 3rd round replay programme from my mums loft......I pretty sure its that one that has write up about Southend's plans for the new all seater West stand at RH.

Saw this a few years ago on a Charlton fans' website ( just a bit of an insight into how their fans feel about him and his time there) -

CP has put up a photo on his Twitter page of Chris Powell on the train coming back from Manchester read into that what you will..Its looking good that CP will be our next manager..

And apparently the person who took the photo asked him if he was coming to us and his reply was, "See you next week."

 

[AndyT]

As long as it wasn't "See You Next Tuesday"!

I remember Arthur Rowley saying that he wanted The North Bank to be made bigger .

Is this a wind up? Ron Martin couldn't talk to Chris Powell whilst we still had a Manager. Lots of things to sort out for Chris Powell. And now the negotiations over a contract have started, that suits both sides. It won't be much longer.

Watford Boss has just been sacked? Go on Ron. :unsure: Heard that Brown has sent in his CV already, Press conference later from the his favourite hotel on how he's always loved Elton John songs and John Barnes. :dim:

 

[Benfleet A1]

Welcome to the board, Hastings. Congratulations on getting a loan of the Tapestry from the Frenchies!

That's one in the eye for them.

"Watford can't play to save their lives, amigo!"
"I agree"
"Oh, you do?.. Well, then I don't agree! .. I think they can play. They just need a new manager!"

 

[blues exile]

Manager is in the frame for a dream job, doesn't get it and his current team go on the slide losing nine in ten. He then gets the sack. Who could this be?
