Oddly more excited by the Challinor news than any other manager I've heard about so far. Maybe it's just because he doesn't have L1 failure on his CV yet but Cowley and Appleton do not spark joy. Challinor feels like a manager on the up for the most part, though I'm sure we can find a way to bring him down
And yet Challinor was sacked with his club in a National League relegation spot. His subsequent success elsewhere shows that one failure doesn't define him but it's a reminder that even the best normally have a blot on their record.
Well, to be fair that's quite a reductive view on it. Challinor took over Fylde in 2011 when they were in the NPL First Division North and won it. He then guided them to 5th the next season losing in the play-offs, then 3rd where he won them. In the Conference North he then finished 2nd (PO semis) then 3rd (PO final loss). The next season they won it and he then finished 7th and 5th up yet another league where he again had a bad PO experience. In 8 years he had three promotions, one FA Trophy win and 6 PO appearances. The only seasons he didn't get his team into the POs was when he won the league until his final season where things started to go wrong. They sacked him in October 2019 with the team in the relegation zone on goal difference and they then went on to be relegated anyway, albeit in a curtailed season. They lost a lot of players that season to L1 and L2 teams so I'm not surprised they struggled. Every manager eventually hits a point where they need to move on but to call his time at Fylde a 'failure' redeemed by his future success is insane, they were two leagues down when he started with them. The only thing that slightly worries me about him is he seems to be absolutely rubbish at winning play-off games but that's the least of our worries at the moment.
But he did gain promotion with Hartlepool from the National League through the play-offs.
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.
So we tout the usual suspects, Appleton and Cowley and everyone moans. Then young up and coming managers are mentioned and everyone moans. Internal promotion for Pearce? Everyone moans.
Newsflash, we're a bang average league 1 side and have been for years now, we're not an attractive proposition, you aren't going to entice world class managers here

Actually the two up and coming managers named, Brady and Challinor, are both older than the two usual suspects. Like so much in life it's perception.

Would imagine there's quite a few would rather be working at Charlton than be unemployed.
Asked my mate about challinor and this is what I got… Can’t say it sounds too exciting and the general consensus I have seen from Stockport fans is he is struggling this year.
This doesn't exactly sound overly encouraging.
Especially as we have no one decent to cross the ball and our main striker is 5ft 9.
I’m confident that it’s not true at this point that the club have gone back to Chris Powell. If people are being briefed otherwise then they should doubt the integrity of their sources.
So your source is right everyone else's source is wrong?
I do not believe that powell is in the running, or bowyer. We will end up with Appleton or Johnson in my opinion but you do come across as very rude and abrupt sometimes
How on Earth is that rude? I’d read your post as MUCH more rude and aggressive. He’s just made a simple statement !!
I'm right you're wrong. It could have been worded better. Very dismissive of everyone else. Telling them to question their sources integrity! How high and mighty is that!
The guy comes across very rude and high and mighty in the majority of his posts and has been called out on it before. But as other posters on here have also suggested, there is a lick Rick rim culture on here!
what is wrong with "I trust my sources who are telling me different, I'm sure you trust yours, let's see how this pans out!
and I'm also making a statement. Is that not allowed because I haven't got a band of arse lickers following me on here?
I'm a bettor but next manager markets are something I never touch. It would be a surprise if Charlton chose Challinor (how's that for alliteration?) but Stockport would be a good next job for the Cowleys.
At the moment winning a game would feel like a miracle. What I don’t want from any more managers is all the PR nonsense, pub with the fans, trip the museum (although it’s fantastic), and all the other gaining a deep appreciation of the club and its fans nonsense. It’s been done time and time again by failed managers and it’s too easy. Just get the best out of the players.

More direct than Man City but John Beck and Harry Basset they are not.
They W2 | D2 of their first ten last season, and were 3-pts off the bottom two
Stockport finished 4th... 4-pts off the automatics
Would people genuinely be tipping us for promotion if we'd won 3/5 this season, in the same way that our "relegation" form is being thrown about.

Regarding Stockport manager.
Challinor is now the favourite
