Varney hails 'exceptional' Reed
after Dowie departure
Charlton chief executive Peter Varney has backed Les Reed and Mark
Robson to rescue the club from their perilous position at the foot
of the Premiership.
Reed has been promoted to head coach following the depature of Iain
Dowie, and Robson will be his assistant.
Varney confirmed on Sky Sports News: 'Les Reed and Mark Robson will
step up and run the team, and we are probably looking for a third
person to come in and help them.
'We feel we need stability more than ever. They are both Charlton
people and we're very, very confident they will start to turn this
club around.'
'People can say that 12 games is too early but, if that's what we
feel, we have to change.'
Varney revealed Dowie, 41, took the board's decision 'not very
well'.
There will be no return to Charlton for Alan Curbishley, Dowie's
predecessor who stood down at the end of last season after 15 years
in charge.
Curbishley has declared himself ready to return to management,
following a long holiday, but he has ruled himself out of
contention for the Addicks post.
i think they should get hoddle as a permanent replacement. he suits
the bill perfectly
