So, farewell then, Merv and Keithie

Keith Peacock and Mervyn Day have left the club by mutual consent, completing a clear out of the managerial structure. Peacock may have some future role at the club. As a Charlton legend, he would certainly be a popular host in the lounges and his experience would equip him well for scouting duties.

Merv has never been popular with the Addickted, although quite why this should be the case is far from clear. Personally I did not like his animated touchline instructions which either are ignored by players or distract them.
