After Chris Powell was sacked by Huddersfield Town, Charlton Athletic fans took to social media pleading the former Addicks boss to return to the club.
The ex-England defender, who made over 200 appearances for Charlton, was dismissed by Huddersfield today (November 4) following an indifferent run of form.
Town have only claimed five points from their last six games and currently lie 15th in the Championship.
Since Powell’s sacking, Addicks fans have suggested the 46-year-old is the man to save the club from their wretched position.
Powell spent over three years at the Valley as manager between 2011 and 2014, firing the club to promotion from League One in 2012.
Charlton are searching for a permanent manager following the departure of Guy Luzon.
Here’s how Charlton fans reacted to Powell’s sacking:
Would love to see Chris Powell given a proper chance at a progressive club. Great guy & showed what he could do with right support at #cafc

Of course we should get SCP back. But it's never going to happen while RD is in charge. #cafc
