Tony Adams, currently helping Our 'Arry at Portsmouth, has been linked with a possible managerial move to Charlton in the event of Alan Pardew departing. You can read about his career here: Wikipedia
I don't give these rumours a lot of credence and, if there is anything in them, I do not think it would be a good move for the club. He was hardly a success at Wycombe Wanderers and apart from his time with the Chairboys, his managerial experience his limited to being a No.2. That is quite a bit different from dealing with the pressures of being in charge.
I share the frustrations of many Charlton fans about Alan Pardew in what is, after all, a results game to quote a cliché which nevertheless contains a kernel of truth. Papers like the Sunday Times are already writing off the proposed takeover as a dead deal, although news organisations have a habit of following a narrative started by one of them.
If it does go ahead, one would think it likely that the new owners would be likely to give Pardew at least until the January transfer window to see if he can turn things around. The existing board's patience may be tested by a run of poor results. It is one thing to give up on promotion, but another to be sucked into a relegation battle.
