There's a giant mugshot of Danny Cowley on the U. Greenwich Avery Hill indoor sports hall wall. Gonna go to winter cricket nets and point at the guy and be all "this is MY manager" as we climb to 17th in the table
Many exams have I sat in that hall staring at him and his brother knowing I'm fucked in life.

This actually kind of scans onto Valley Floyd Road
I’m not sure how we can compare a managers success at one club and lack of it at another, without knowing the parameters in place, which will clearly dictate their ability to do the job in the way they may wish.
We only have to look at the manager success rate or lack of at Charlton to know this.
Being a successful manager or player at one club is no guarantee it’ll be the same at another.
I’m not encouraged by any of the potential candidates being mentioned so far, but sadly that’s the pond we’re fishing in at the moment and I don’t necessarily think it reflects the owners remit, just the reality of not chucking money at the problem and others not wanting to join an ailing club residing in Groundhog Day.
At least he'll sort out the long throw problem : - )
Would be surprised by this one, if it happens, as Stockport seem a well run club with serious backing from a committed owner but I guess we're still a bigger club.
Also, always seen him as a northern lad.
But an interview is not the same as an appointment.

I’d be happier with that than Appleton and Cowley. Very good manager

I hope that isn’t representative of the calibre of ‘in work’ managers we’re interviewing. Done a very good job at Stockport but feels like we’d be a big step up for him
Played football with a lad who works at a football league club yesterday. Reckoned Appleton was one of the best managers he had worked with and is convinced that given the right backing he would be a success at any club. Also said CBT had been offered to his current club this week, didn't know whether it was by Charlton or his agent.
I like watching CBT burn past defenders, one of the few joys of attending matches at the moment.

I am not supporting Cowley here but I don't understand how he can be considered on the way down. Does that mean he has forgotten what he knew a couple of years ago? In theory a good manager would learn from mistakes and ought to become a better manager, but I suspect those managers fail due to other factors, sometimes beyond their control. Maybe they are the right managers at the wrong club. And maybe we are the wrong club for most managers because we have crap owners. Bowyer seemed to gain success when the owner couldn't give a toss and let him get on with it. Maybe that is our ideal ownership. Ones that don't interfere.
Challinor is a similar career path to Ian Evatt who has done brilliantly at Bolton. Done very well at National League and League 2 level, a manager on the up. If he’s been interviewed then I’d assume he’s interested and ok with moving down south

Are we that big a step up right now?
In theory we should be, although having watched us play Stockport last year it wasn’t very evident. There are some things that are different though, larger fan base, access to better youth players (I’d assume), expectation of Championship football etc
Challinor is very much a 3-5-2 man. I don’t have a problem with it but I’m sure some will
Formations aren't the issue - it's about having players that suit a formation and coaching it well.
We constantly chop and change managers, coaches, and usually sign players because they're cheap and available not because they fit a formation or plan.

Fully qualified Physiotherapist has a first class Hons degree which augers well, two for the price of one 😉. On the downside he effectively finished Martin Pringles career with a tackle that broke his leg in two places. Also was an exponent of a very long throw (world record holder apparently), keep practicing Alfie 😩.

He comes to us and we will finish his career as payback.
If he doesn’t come to us, not sure I’d be too happy as a Stockport fan seeing that my manager was looking elsewhere!
He’s an absolute legend at Stockport as other North West based Addicks can confirm.
He also walked out on Hartlepool to take the Stockport job in the first place, which wasn't received well by the former fans seeing he'd just won them promotion to League Two.
At least he'll sort out the long throw problem : - )

Looking at his career, he's never worked further south than North Wales! I imagine he considers Stoke as being full of southern softies

Graham Arnold
He was on the EFL podcast yesterday, and seemed to be enjoying his time away. He will go to a championship club.
Overcame a mass of injury woes to still gain automatic promotion from L2 last season.
Has the legendary Colin Calderwood as his assistant manager, ready to bring in and sort out the defence.

Never taken charge of a League One club though
I hope this is just his agent speculating.
