I would add Tony Mowbray to that little list as well. Another thumbs up for Powell from me also.

Agree with the above, comes across as a good guy. Funnily enough his testimonial for Charlton at the Withdean was my first ever Albion game.

Top bloke - great footballing brain - would love him to come here when the inevitable does finally happen!

His behaviour on the sidelines was in total contrast to Billy Davies the game before.
Wish more managers could conduct themselves with a bit more dignity.

I fully appreciate what he has done for CHARLTON but would never want us to be playing the same way so unless he could adapt I wouldn't want him as our manager in the future.

If Gus could get our players working as hard as that, we'd be at the top of the table.
Chris Powell was a model player who got recognition late in his career, and now a model manager.

Nigel Pearson is the same. Class act and rarely blames refs.

Your support is not that great
What is it with Charlton? We admire their set-up, applaud their tactics, clap the fans, salute the manager. They even hate Palace. They're just too damn likeable!

What do want from your team hard work a la Powell or entertainment a la Gus. I want the entertainment as I would be bored to tears if we played like Charlton either at home or even away.

I believe that we have that with GUS in that we defend in depth for long periods and our only let down has been lack of concentration when nearing the end of the game. If we could play out the game for the added on time we would be in an automatic promotion spot now. This is down to the players and not Gus. Also if we could cut out the individual mistakes like at Forest we would be fine . There is nothing wrong with our set up that needs major adjustment just a little tinkering and fine tuning
Loving the Adick love in here. Sir Chris Powell is a very fine man and manager, revered by us at The Valley. Always dinified and always has time for supporters. He really is one of the good guys but with the ability to make difficult decisions over players. With him, seemingly, you are either in or most certainly out. He is quick to release players on loan and will make very quick judgements.
When he came we were at rock bottom, he redesigned the squad based on the revenue of what one player, Jenkinson, raised when sold to Arsenal for £1m
Enjoy the rest of the season, keep flying high Seagulls. 3-0 win in the playoff final v Palace....what a day that would be....

I heard Chris Powell on radio backing Di Canio for the Sunderland job,apparently they played together in the past.
