  • Didn't Jon Brady play with Rodwell at Rushden & Diamonds?

    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
    Would imagine there's quite a few would rather be working at Charlton than be unemployed.

    Yes they did... Didn't realise Rodwell was once a player actually
  • A lot of different names being interviewed / approached, a very public search for a new manager.

    All those who have put money on Cowley are gonna be disappointed then.

    Challinor is now the favourite

  • Cowley would be hugely uninspiring. Down naff-all since leaving Lincoln.
    2019/20: full season with Huddersfield, finished 18th in the Championship

    2020/21: 12 games at the back end of the season with Portsmouth - winning six (two draws, four losses). Team were in 10th and ended the season in 8th.

    2021/22: full season with Portsmouth, finished 10th. 20 games won out of 46 (13 draws, 13 losses)

    2022/23: 22 games with Portsmouth, sacked after 1-3 defeat to Charlton. Team was in 12th and finished season in 8th. Record: W7 D10 L5

    So since Huddersfield done better than whoever was managing us.

  • 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.

    Wasn't sure it was the same Brady, I used to sell both of them...old school cham man

    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.

    "The lower league look".  That's about right.
  • 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.  
    What are your 3 goals for today?
  • At least if we get Challinor he may have better insight into who should be taking our long throws.Maybe not our main striker who is 5ft7in.

    Whatever happened to supporting your team through thin and thinner 🙄
    Thought the late seventies was thin , the early eighties was even thinner.
    The premiership years didn’t go to many matches.
    But bad ownership after bad ownership and manager after manager is just making us the laughing stock of the EFL.

    Whats more you just know without backing the next manager moneywise  it isn’t going to get any better.

    With all these 'failed managers' being mentioned, I'd rather go with Pearce and see how it works out.
    Thing is Cowley (if it’s him) isn’t a failed manager. He’s known success and seen relative failure but he’s pretty much exactly the type of manager who we could reasonably expect to attract. Bigger names are not dropping into Division three especially to a club that is perceived and seen to be in a maelstrom. The only other options are similar to Cowley like Appleton or an up and coming Division four manager. Might work out or it could go the way of Garner. Either route is a punt.

    Agree totally so why not take a punt on Pearce and if that doesn't work take a punt on one of these or whoever is available at the time? Two punts for the price of one surely. 
    Pearce has been in full time coaching less than two years and always effectively under supervision. That’s not even a punt compared to someone like Challinor or Richardson. It’s the cheapest of cheap option with a ready made fall guy. Having said that it’s worked before.


    Pearce has played 513app in the League many of those games at CB and many as captain where he organised defenders around him.
    Not saying he should get the gig but he really isn't inexperienced when it comes to making decisions on or off the field.

    Not sure if Jason will be available for long as he is wanted by the England rugby team who are also in a right old mess as the tackling coach, as they noticed no one got past him without hitting the deck with two arms firmly around the body.

    Sad really.

    Is this what we have come too ?  No disrespect to any of the teams or their fans but interviewing managers at Stockport & Northampton is not my idea of success.

    SE7 Partners have been in charge for 6 weeks & things are starting to unravel already.

    Utter shambles.
  • If it is done and it’s Challinor I still think they should announce today and get him in the dugout on Saturday. It’s a free hit against a really poor side, if we don’t win then he hasn’t been there long enough, if we do win he’s off to a great start

    I've heard Brady's a bit of a long throw specialist too
  • Just hope Challinor or whoever can bring their backroom staff with them too.

    Holden | Garner | Adkins... None of them have been able to select their own staff.
    Notice that Challinor's Assistant is Clint Hill - Hopefully he can sort out Defence out.
