Charlton sack Ian Dowie
7.34, Mon Nov 13 2006
Charlton have announced they have parted company with manager Iain Dowie.
Dowie only took over from Alan Curbishley at the Valley in May but has won just two Premiership games out of 12 this season, leaving the club bottom of the table.
The former Crystal Palace boss did lead the Addicks to the Carling Cup quarter-final this week.
But it was not enough to save his job after Saturday's league defeat at Wigan.
Dowie left Palace under a cloud of controversy when Eagles chairman accused him of "fraudulently" obtaining a release from a £1 million compensation clause in his contract.
But the former Palace boss publicly said that he wanted to leave Selhurst Park for a "new challenge" and insisted that, prior to leaving the club, no discussions had taken place with Charlton and that he had done nothing wrong.
He was a great Footballer though
