Dowie leaves
Charlton have parted company with manager Iain Dowie after only 12 Premiership matches.
Dowie, 41, left Crystal Palace in May to replace Alan Curbishley at The Valley but won only two league games.
Derby's Billy Davies, Cardiff's Dave Jones and ex-England coach Glenn Hoddle are reportedly candidates for the job.
Former boss Curbishley has already ruled himself out of a return to The Valley.
"I left Charlton for a new challenge," he said. "Going back would not be good for me or for the club."
His successor Dowie, who is the first Premiership manager to lose his job this season, spent almost £10m on new players after signing a three-year deal.
However, the Addicks lost 3-2 at West Ham on the opening day of the 2006-2007 campaign and have only managed home wins over Bolton and Manchester City.
Saturday's 3-2 loss at Wigan leaves Charlton at the bottom of the table, with only eight points.
England striker Darren Bent is the only player to have scored more than one league goal this season - he has scored six of the club's nine Premiership goals.
