The managerial situation at Charlton Athletic is looking incredibly precarious, with Karl Robinson offering to resign recently.

He's now being heavily linked with the Oxford United role, meaning play-off chasing Charlton could well find themselves recruiting at exactly the wrong time of the season.

They're five points outside the play-offs with a game in hand, certainly not a position you expect a manager to walk away from.

Robinson has ben at The Valley since November 2016 but has grown increasingly frustrated at events there, including the drawn-out takeover talks.

Should a vacancy arise at Charlton, FLW thinks that that these three managers could well be in the frame for the job.

Tisdale might be out of left field for some, but he's one of the Football League's longest serving managers and he'd be a close replacement for Robinson.

Like Robinson, he's served an unusually long period of time at one club in the lower leagues and he's also taken a smaller club to a level it isn't used to seeing, in his case Exeter and League One. He even plotted a course out of the National League with the Grecians, no mean feat at all.

His sides are always committed but he's been working on a shoestring despite the sale of Ethan Ampadu and Ollie Hawkins last season. Despite losing those key players, he still has his side on the edge of the League Two play off race.

McClaren is the polar opposite of Tisdale, he's a well-worn manager who has been to the top end of the spectrum and back. As a former international manager he has a great CV, perhaps not so when you consider he was a boss who failed to take England to a major championship.

He's back after a spell in Israel and looking for a job in the Football League. Foreign owners are drawn towards well-known names and as a former England manager, he's certainly well known. It's not all about that big job though, he didn't do too badly at Middlesbrough or Derby in patches and his arrival would be a coup for Charlton.

Rosler's name keeps circulating whenever a job comes up and this would be no different. He experienced great success in London with Brentford, something that might convince Charlton he can still do a job for them too.

He's had a tough run of it since his work at Griffin Park resulted in a promotion to the second tier, spells at Leeds and Fleetwood have blotted his copybook somewhat. He's still a progressive manager harbouring ambitions of managing in the top flight one day and that desire might drive him to success at the right club.

Rosler likes to play a high-tempo passing game too, with lots of attacking. It is a style that fans like to see, which could appeal to the current owners at the Valley.
