Speaking to Jim White, he told talkSPORT: Some people are still threatening me, so would you go if you were threatened like me? I think thats the problem really.Its certainly too risky.

We need to win and thats whats important today.Charlton boss Lee Bowyer has led an unlikely promotion push on limited funds this seasonGetty2
