Exclusive taken from BBC Sport:
Charlton Atheltic chairman Richard Murray has spoken to the press as to why his club have parted company with Iain Dowie.
"Here at Charlton we pride ourselves on being a family club," explained Murray, "and unfortuantely under Iain's tenure, we noticed crowds were down as less and less families were attending matches at The Valley."
"While we have qualified for the quarter finals of the Carling Cup, we felt it was in our best interests to part company with Iain for the fundamental reason that women and children were scared of him. Put simply, Iain's face did not fit in with the family club image we have established at Charlton. In fact, ardent fans have returned season tickets after saying that they are mentally scarred by Iain's features and can never return to The Valley."
Charlton fan Joe Bloggs, 38, commented, "I have been a season ticket holder for 30 years and under Curbs, I loved to take the family for a good old fashioned Cockney knees up and see us play the part of the plucky underdogs week after week."
"However, after the Dowie experience, I'm sorry to say that my family will never return to the family. My little daughter is scared stiff of him, my son still has nightmares about seeing him in the dugout and my wife can't get his ugly, ugly features out of her head when I'm making love to her. My love-life has dwindled significantly since I took her to Dowie's first game in charge."
Iain Dowie himself was unavailable to comment but it seems that fans are no longer willing to simply see their team win ugly.

I did say that is very odd and I do feel sorry for Iain Dowie as he arent giving enough time even thought chairman were worry that his club might go down and lose moneys......Football is Business these day but wot on earth is football fans saying away from Iain Dowie cos he is so ugly and they have no right to think like that......It is FOOTBALL that they paid see the players to do work out on the pitch, not looking at DIPSTICK Manager !!!
England football going to be like Italy football where they give manager 3 games to turn things around then if they dont turn things around and they get the sack!
cheers
