I must have been imagining all those charlton fans calling in back then !! maybe they were actors? As for ' no evidence of this at all' - It took an entire 5 seconds to find a whole raft of articles where charlton fans rue the time they gave up supporting Curbushley, tired of middle table premiership mediocrity. try this one- www.footballfancast.com/football-blogs/do-charlton-fans-forever-rue-the-day-they-forced-curbishley-outor provenquality.com/charlton-athletic-after-alan-curbishley/or any of the others ALL going on about many of the fans had given up on him and how that was a major factor in him resigning. And Im not sure the watford example is any different from yours. As soon as they took over they brought in a load of fringe players from the other clubs they owned, none of whome will have been on the managers want list and effectively forced the manager to use them. And quickly ditched the english manager they had and replaced him with a foreign one they knew would be more pliable. The only obvious difference I can see is that the players watford brought in to be groomed in english football were of a better standard. Have you actually read the articles you have linked to? They do not supply any evidence whatsoever that Charlton fans were demanding the end of Curbs...non, nada, zilch. The articles come from one individual who 'believed' (as you mistakenly do) that Charlton fans were discontent with Curbs...no evidence supplied there, and the other article has even less evidence and supposition, and is followed by Charlton fans saying, as is true, that they were not demanding the end for Curbs. It is an urban myth my friend, perpetuated by the ignorant, and there is no evidence, either contemporary or since to back it up. Simply not true...'droves', I ask you! On the other hand you may have a point regarding Watford and us. Mind you, you are an amazing person if you can judge the relative merits of the Watford are of a better standard...that is very likely true of the desperate bunch we brought in after Chris Powells departure, but the present team and manager have had half a dozen games...a bit early to judge really, although as you might have seen for yourself, Vetokele, who we signed from Denmark anyway, seems to be a useful player.

webbo - off the Powell topic, but I was quite impressed with the individual attributes of some of your lot the other week. Whilst you were nowhere near your best, Buyens looked a very useful holding midfielder, Gudmundsson played one killer pass that showed his potential, although he was peripheral for the rest of the match and Vetokele was very lively. Peters seems like a level-headed bloke too - I think you'll have a good season. Ben Haim and Bikey will probably be solid most weeks and then one of them will have the odd calamitious game every now and again. It was the full-backs that were surprisingly poor as I'd always rated Solly and Wiggins.

Midlander, I am not sure what we are just yet, but the start has made me hopeful obviously. I tell myself we are a work in progress, and I would guess we are still looking to strengthen the squad in some way. We still have a remarkable number of home grown players getting in the team...Solly, Harriott, Fox, Wilson, Cousins and Gomez despite the idea that we are ditching our own for foreigners. I appreciate your analysis and hope for a decent season after last years malarkey.

You said there was no evidence at all. I said there were loads of CAFC fans on talksport at the time saying Curbs had taken the club as far as he could and should be replaced-- you just deny that happened ( it did by the way) you said there was no evidence at all. I do a quick look on google and find any number of articles, some written by CAFC fans, some by journos, all stating how a lot of CAFC fans had stopped supporting Curbs, and randomly link 2 of them. You say there is no evidence at all....
Ok whatever.

It seems rude to argue against you on your own board, but it didn't happen as you say...gosh this is like my dad's bigger than your dad...the articles you have linked also don't supply any evidence either, I sorry, but I looked at them and they are if anything simply perpetuating the urban myth you're perpetuating. Let me try logic. A modest club has enjoyed about six years of premiership football under the same manager, who had worked minor miracles earlier too, and the fans of that club were kind of crying out for said manager to go...why would they? Logic suggests that apart from the minority of professional grumblers (do you fulfil that role on here?) the vast and overwhelming majority of fans would want that manager to keep on keeping on. I am sorry, but in this matter you're simply wrong. if you think you are right then prove it.

Im not saying it was logical. it wasn't. You keep saying there isn't any evidence, like you think all CAFC fans were right behind Curbs when he left. All i can do for evidence is give you anecdotal things like remembering loads of CAFC fans on talksport ( unfortunately I forgot to record them) and find you articles from both fans and journos backing up that view. What sort of evidence do you need? Signed statements from fans involved? recordings of disgruntled conversations in pubs?
All you're doing is calling it an urban myth and dismissing all the evidence that supports it as just perpetuating that myth. Well problem is , it clearly wasn't a myth! Those callers on the radio weren't actors. The fans writing those articles aren't on a wind up. You might not have agreed, but there were clearly plenty that had stopped supporting him.
Perhaps you can prove you're right. Find me the evidence that all he fans were right behind him ( you know- that myth) , get me recordings of all those CAFC fans phoning up Talksport to demand that he stays at the club?
Is this some kind of self- defence mechanism to get over the embarrassment of a lot of your fans wanting and getting Curbs out and then spiralling down 2 divisions as a result?

You're absolutely right our demise was embarrassing, but (sigh) we are going round and round and as I have said twice now there is no evidence to support the view that Charlton fans wanted Curbishley out, your articles that you have linked to do not provide the evidence it is as simple as that.
I really don't want to fall out with any Huddersfield fans for what are now obvious reasons, but it is not about self-defence it is about being irritated by this particular myth.
If you are interested in what caused our collapse it is because our Chairman (unlike yours yesterday) had no experience or idea how to appoint a manager so brought in the delusional Ian Dowie and the utterly destructive Alan Pardew. Sweet Phil Parkinson was then left to pick up the pieces which he tried to do, but fell short, especially as by then the previous two managers had spent any money we had on useless dross.
The narrative that goes 'Charlton fans hounded Curbishley out....be careful what you wish for....they got what they deserved' makes a good story, a nice simplistic story too, but unfortunately for the storytellers it is not fact but fiction.

I couldn't stand the site of Robins,stood there on the touch kind like a cardboard cut out, dragging the club down with his negative tactics and god awful football, that's why I used be 'negative', although I just prefer it to call it honesty.

You may have said it twice, but both times you were talking bollocks my friend. I couldn't give a shit one way or the other to be honest, but I know there were a lot of CAFC who drove him out of the club because I remember the debates they had on the radio. I know from the many links I found that those CAFC fans think that as they have written pieces on it, as did the journalists who also wrote about it. I know you're just refusing to acknowledge any of that as it doesn't tie in with what you think, and in hindsight its all a bit embarrassing for you and your fellow CAFC fans. Understand that, but there isn't much point in continuing the discussion, so I'll leave you to keep this up-

Captains right because he's right what he says, Charlton fans did go on the radio and wanted change. It's got nothing to do with him being a Yorkshireman.

Captainslapper You've had a mare here. Claiming that you know more about Charlton than a Charlton fan and presenting a few half-remembered cranks on Talksport from at least 8 years ago and a couple of blogs as your evidence. At least have the grace to back down when the man has corrected you about his football club.

He's wrong, It did- lots!! Why were they cranks? What a silly comment. he didn't correct me, he just dismissed any evidence i showed him. How is that having a mare FFS ?

Its like him telling me that Robins had lost the support of the fans and thats a big reason why he left. So i deny it. tell him it was all a myth. So he shows me threads on here full of people saying he should be sacked I deny it, tell him thats not evidence and its just part of a myth. So he shows me press peices about the booing at the Bournemouthh game. i deny it, didn;'t happen. All a myth.
Does that mean im right because being a fan I know more about MY club?
Then another Charlton fan tells him he's had a mare! LOL

How many Charlton games have you ever been to? How do you know the reality of what it was like under Curbishley 8 years ago and in the stadium? He's a primary source and you're going off secondary sources. You're doing to this guy what opposition fans have done to us when Clark left and when Robins walked, judging the club based on an outsider's perspective. You're acting like you know more about his club than he did based on all this conjecture - I can imagine you having an aneurysm on a biblical scale if an outsider claimed to know more about Town than you based on Talk Sport and a few blogs and uninformed journalists. He's given you another perspective on his club but rather than taking it in you've tried to shout him down in your typical indignant style and make him look silly. Not sure why you're even getting so aerated about it to be honest as he seems a very reasonable chap. He definitely scored a second round knockout from where I'm sitting.

How much of it was the plastic fans after they introduced the valley express to fill the stadium (according to my wifes Charlton supporting uncle)? it was the club who wanted more success and pushed curbs out ultimately not the hardcore fans that was evident at the time jesus they gave him a standing ovation, a guard of honour and there were countless thankyou curbs banners in his last match. the 'fans' weren't the ones who wanted curbishly out it was the slack jawed man utd/chelski/Man city wannabee sycophants. you know the same ones that YOU and I will be fighting to disassociate ourselves with once Town have any kind of success. from the outside slaps I have to say you are right it does appear the fans hounded him out but really, Did they?

Well I for one have not said Powell was chite for winning league one, and then finishing 9th, so maybe I for one...possibly in Captains world view the only one...was not one of the fans who wanted AC out. I have been watching Charlton since 1963, and have had a season ticket every season since 1971 and been there through the million downs and the occasional ups, however as mentioned above I am unlucky to support my local team as they don't play in Yorkshire, and I wasn't born there like Captain (?) so my knowledge of Charlton is bound to be less than the glorious fortunate born in Yorkshire, led by the admirable Captain.
How could I have got it so wrong, having respectfully made the effort to read Captains two links and struggled to find any evidence in those links that assert 'loads' of fans wanted Curbs out, and indeed I am too stupid to realise that two (AKA 10 in Captains universe) flimsy links are not actually 'loads' of evidence of Charlton fans and journalists?
I obviously need a Yorkshire DNA transplant from Captain to remove the scales from my eyes and realise just how wrong I am in comparison to him.
The funny thing is I came on here to kind of celebrate the fact that you have appointed Chris Powell as manager, which I think is a great bonding between a top man and a top club. Now that Captain has helped me see the error of my ways I may have got that all wrong.

I think the comebacks started when scabbyhorse who claims to be a Charlton fan, decided to spout that the football was shit etc. He may or maybe not a Charlton fan but obviously a WUM. Don't be sad you were not born in Yorkshire as we are running out of room.

It's not really worth getting so het up about. PS If you don't want anyone else to 'stick their oar' into your rants then why don't you confine them to your front room?

never said you did say that. Your fellow fan did. Read back and take a look.
The lucky to be born on Yorkshire comment is whats known as humour. Do you have that in London? When did you have yours removed?
I never claimed to know more about CAFC than you- just that you claimed there was no evidence of CAFC fans wanting AC out. I found you some. The internets full of them if you look and if you like you can chose to ignore any of them when they talk about how many fans had decided AC should go. You are wrong.
Thanks for the good wishes about Powell. Lets hope he does well like he did initially at yours until other factors perhaps got in his way.

The air must be pretty thin up on that high horse of yours, it's doing strange things to you. Why don't you go for a walk in the sunshine, it might calm you down a bit. It's not really worth getting so het up about. PS If you don't want anyone else to 'stick their oar' into your rants then why don't you confine them to your front room? Does pretending Im getting angry make you feel better about me having to explain to you how this conversation has panned out and why your comment was a bit daft? You are right in a way. I am a bit puzzled about why i managed to get myself into this pointless conversation with a Charlton fan with a shite memory about something I couldn't actually give a toss about.

Captain we have absolutely no sense of humour in London at all, so I thank you for the little injection of humour you supply to brighten up my day. As I have already said, the fact you say I am wrong is good enough for me seeing as you're the Captain, and anyway you're right, just because you're you. You shouldn't feel the need to back anything you say up, especially to a humourless Londoner fer gawdssake.
Talking of Captains, my username is in honour of one of my favourite Charlton captains, Simon Webster who played for Huddersfield Town before playing for us.
May I say again anyway that I hope it will be OK to check back here from time to time to see how Huddersfield Town fans feel about Chris Powell? I read somewhere else on these forums that he pronounces Huddersfield in a strange way, so there you have assimilation task number one.
