I regret having done so if it has offended you and would suggest you just ignore it. I was simply expressing my frustration in a different way to you and perhaps shouldn't have done so. I don't think Parkinson should have got the job either, but did feel that Charlton were the better side against Forest and that the criticism of him was unfair given that he is a decent man trying his best. I also have some sympathy with him in trying to show/say that he cares and I thought you were a little harsh. Just my opinion that's all. Don't worry about it.

But he got it. I then decided to show my support and attend the Home game V Forest. It seems nothing changed.<BR/>Sadly we are now stuck with Pardky.<BR/> I just hope the Board have written in to his managers contract 'if we are relegated (when)you will lose the job and no compensation will be paid'<BR/>Somehow i doubt it though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-58546426719967351402009-01-19T19:56:00.000+00:002009-01-19T19:56:00.000+00:00I have to chuckle , apparently its not very PC in ...I have to chuckle , apparently its not very PC in blogging terms to comment as anonymous , but its OK to be King's Hill Addick or New York Addick . <BR/>You can call me Mr Fed up like all the rest , but since I can't help the club financially resigned to it Addick or FUA for shortAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-16322376864047591992009-01-19T14:18:00.000+00:002009-01-19T14:18:00.000+00:00I agree with KHA and NYA, they both talk a lot of ...I agree with KHA and NYA, they both talk a lot of sense. The Club WILL be relegated and are 1/4 on to fall into League One. At the start of the season we were 18/1 against!! We need to start rebuilding confidence sooner rather than later, let's try and establish that confindence so that when we start the 2009/10 campaign we are in the upward move not downward. I wish I knew the answer, but a change of management DOES appear to be the best start. It's a shame that "Parky" is tarred with the same brush as Pards and nothing seems to be able to change that. The Board need to look at the likes of Sheff Weds and Nottingham Forest and even Leicester for inspiration as to the way forward, there must be something "common" in their approaches to rescue their Clubs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-86057312193903321712009-01-19T14:07:00.000+00:002009-01-19T14:07:00.000+00:00Anon,I am not feeling sorry for myself.

I never have, and even if I had I would be well past it by now.<BR/><BR/>I probably have more sympathy for the directors than most do, but I don't believe that the majority of the fans have much left.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that with the right direction the club will come back, and be stronger than they currently are, but in the meantime the nucleus of the supporters are becoming very restless, and the less committed fans are losing interest.<BR/><BR/>I accepted the logic in appointing Parkinson, I just believed that on balance it was a bigger risk to appoint him than to replace him, not to mention the farce that was played out insisting that it was results based, not performance based.<BR/><BR/>If the directors are unhappy with my thoughts then so be it. Under the circumstances I think their sensibilities are the least of our problems. I will not take part in any demonstration neither verbal nor physical against the board, but I would be lying if I said I thought we won’t see one if things don’t improve soon.<BR/><BR/>As for the pints analogy? I am grateful for what their money provided, but maybe on reflection they should have only bought me 2 pints and I’d have gone away happy after drinking four. It does, with hindsight, look like we spent our dinner money on beer and now we have no food.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Why is it that all the comments that are critical fail to come with a signature? Not that I mind, but I would have thought that you would want everyone to know who you are.Kings Hill Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523787530053799457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-22425422790064804952009-01-19T14:04:00.000+00:002009-01-19T14:04:00.000+00:00KHA, please continue to write your honest thoughts...KHA, please continue to write your honest thoughts without fear of negative comments. <BR/><BR/>I used to consider Charlton a 'special' club in the way that its fans, Board and players had a unique bond, and everyone was moving in the same direction.<BR/><BR/>This helped to explain our incredible growth in attendances (perhaps 5-600% in a decade or so).<BR/><BR/>Much of that is clearly being lost, and not merely because we are bottom of the Championship. If we become 'just another' football club, our attendances will fall sharply for the reasons you refer to.<BR/><BR/>The Board had a chance to repair some of this broken bond after it sacked Pardew. <BR/><BR/>Even if they honestly believed Parkinson was the best man for the job, they appointed him in such a ludicrous fashion that it made all of the ongoing problems of low confidence, lack of motivation etc.. even worse!<BR/><BR/>This season is now a foregone conclusion, but it didn't have to be like this. Just as the club wasted precious time in 2006/7 by giving Les Reed the job, they are repeating the mistake this time around. However it's not too late for some contrition and to begin building a promotion campaign back to the Championship <EM>now</EM>.New York Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557761313491796984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-90069258015976996292009-01-19T13:30:00.000+00:002009-01-19T13:30:00.000+00:00KH I think if I was one of the Directors who had s...KH <BR/>I think if I was one of the Directors who had shovelled cash into the club for the last 10 years, I would be a bit annoyed with your post . Basically , the way to look at it is that somebody else has been subsidising your fun for a decade , a bit like a bloke at the bar who buys you 4 of your 6pints every Saturday night until he runs out of money. Theyve made a few mistakes in selecting managers for sure , but look at how many managers Wst Ham, Tottenham, etc , etc have had over the same period . The only difference is that their owners are richer and they got away with it (mostly). The current directors have tried really hard to find someone richer than them to take it on , but are stuck with it. <BR/>We will just have to grin and bear it ( and you & I don't have all the stress of that money worry) , carry on supporting the team and in 2/3 years , we will have a decent Championship side again, but until then stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-43282625819687188102009-01-19T13:24:00.000+00:002009-01-19T13:24:00.000+00:00Braeg,I agree with you about the manager.

It is something I've been saying for weeks, but it has been seen by some as not supporting the team.<BR/><BR/>Also, the time to make the change was in November or December when we looked like we might slip into trouble. Now that we have done so, I am not sure we could attract the calibre of manager that would make enough difference.<BR/><BR/>I felt for Wednesday when you fell into the 'third division', as I did Forest, but thankfully you have both come back stronger, and we have to hope that at some point in the future we will do the same.Kings Hill Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523787530053799457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519968491157736669.post-21579679313446838642009-01-19T13:14:00.000+00:002009-01-19T13:14:00.000+00:00I feel for you and the other fans, I am a wednesda...I feel for you and the other fans, I am a wednesday fan and was there on saturday. You were poor, but it was obviously a confidence thing. I am sure your players are better than that, but they reminded me of our players when we went to league one - there heads are gone and it's hard to get them back. I would suggest another manager again, just do anything to spark a change.Braeg Heneffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099741350662870236noreply@blogger.com
