Reed new boss

[Beefy]

Charlton have confirmed that Les Reed has been appointed head coach on a permanent basis, with Mark Robson named as his assistant.

Reed was number two to previous boss Iain Dowie, while Robson steps up from his role as development coach.

Charlton chief executive Peter Varney said: "We are probably looking for a third person to come in and help them."

Plc chairman Richard Murray earlier said manager Dowie was sacked after a review of the club's structure.

mistake...should have kept Dowie, had a chance to take the club forward if they gave him a chance, they play better football than they have for over 10 years, just need to fine tune the defence and stop leaking goals...were improving and I think they will start to win games and climb the table..or at least they would of with Dowie.....I hope they get relegated now

I think that's almost a certainty now Davvers, i'd like to see Newcastle go down with them too
