It's possible, but I don't think so.  "We haven't won since Charlie 
left" implies to me that they won Charlie's last year.  Or at the 
very least, his second to last year.  If they didn't win his last 
three years, I don't think they'd connect winning to Charlie (no 
matter how good he was).  It would mean they'd lost fully half of 
the years he played (which might make sense if it were the first 3 
years he played, but not if it's the last three).

Besides, I think it's highly likely (but admittedly not certain) 
that Oliver was on the team his second year and in PoA Oliver was 
acting as if he'd never been on a Cup-winning team.
