Who's everyone's favourite pick from the 2001/02 squad as manager? I don't meant the one with the best managerial record, I mean your favourite to have as manager. I'm going Kish with Andy Todd as assistant.
Alternatively a rotating managerial carousel across the season of Svensson, Pringle, Lisbie and Johansson who aren't quite good enough overall as managers, but each win 5 games a season to get us where we need to be
David Collis for me.
You big hipster you
The is genuinely the first time I have ever been called one of them. My wife will be impressed 😉

Maybe we’re looking for a versatile manager, who can manage in a number of different positions or across the board. ‘A jack of all trades, master of none’ type.

Richard Rufus?
Could probably convince the courts it’s a worse punishment than prison
Yes we’re in deep doodoo. I gave up on this clutch of owners/smt around 6 weeks ago. Hope we get a ‘ strong man ‘ manager, not holding my breath. Bowyer for me but appears he’s not been contacted.
Personally I’d even welcome back Robinson, his scouse verbal diarrhoea worth putting up with if he could sort us out. Anybody but Appleton!
Need to sort out how many days he gets for annual leave although for 2023 it will be pro rata, three days are taken over the Christmas holidays. sick pay, how long notice has to be given, the length of the probation. Also has too supply three references from previous employers

Pol pot?
Why are you so against Appleton?
I am certainly not "pro" him but he seems perfectly qualified to be the manager of a league 1 club. What has he done that's so bad you would have anybody else other than him?

Pol Pot ticks the ‘nasty bastard’ box that some of our fans seem desperate for. I’d like to see Charlie Kirk pull out of a challenge when there’s a long-dead murderous tyrant glowering at him on the sidelines.

Appleton is up there with how I felt about Russel Slade coming in. Vanilla.
Add Adkins to that list
Dunno...Adkins made some good videos...😉
Especially sunny morning walkabout videos, "The sun is shining, the birds are singing and yet again, Charlton are losing ..... and it's a lovely sunny day!"
And don't forget the importance of making your bed.
I'm pretty convinced that whoever we get won't be a big upgrade.
Next appointment is absolutely crucial, without sounding too doomsday, balls this one up, and they’ll be little left of the club in league 2, we need someone who can unite the fans, and not be so naff they’ll get the heave ho by Christmas.
More realistically, a poor appointment will leave us stuck in mid table mediocrity for the 3rd season running.

Make no mistake a poor appointment could leave us in the 4th division for the first time in our history.

It would have to be a TERRIBLE appointment to do that, and realistically that's not going to happen. The likes of Appleton and the Cowleys are unexciting, but they're also both safe pairs of hands as well.

Totally agree but that's why I am less open to a gamble as many are.
A half decent manager will get us around 8th-12th, the likes of Appleton and Cowley are half decent.
A gamble on someone who has never managed or only in the Belgium 4th division, the India Premier league or at the University of Bath could get us in the play offs but could also get us relegated.
Some might think it's refreshing, I think it's idiotic.
The issues that have lead to this situation need to be resolved else we won't ever attract someone "exciting" and if we did they would fail anyway.

Exactly how I see it as well.
We get in a manger from Mumbai it could work but if it doesn't, more compensation they'll need to pay out and we could be right in the shit and then no one really will want to take it on.
Cowley in particular will give us an outside chance of play offs but at the very least not make the season a disaster, sadly enough that will do me for now, what a time

A bit like the players we generally sign.

No doubt a very good coach but hardly the sort of gamble we need to be making is it? If we could afford his wages, which as you say we can't.
Cue Appleton announcement!
And don't forget the importance of making your bed.

Like us he needs this to work and I think he will be good given his record at Lincoln and Oxford.
Onwards and upwards.
