Widespread reports suggest that Charlton Athletic have sacked manager Russell Slade in the early evening of the 14th November 2016 after just 16 games in charge.

As expected, this sent Twitter into a frenzy with Charlton fans and neutral commentators both voicing their opinions on the decision.

Charlton are currently sitting in 15th place in League One with 16 games gone.

The Addicks have picked up just 20 points during this season's campaign, having hoped for a promotion challenging season, and have won 4, lost 4 and drawn 8 of their games in the third tier.

Russell Slade's sacking has inevitably split opinion with some agreeing that his time was up after a substandard start to his tenure as manager and others arguing that he wasn't given enough time and that the problem lies with the owners.
