I would say 80 precent of our fans wouldn’t have a clue who Martin Pringle is?
I named my gold fish after him at the time, so I’m clearly the 20% 😢
We had Pringle and Mendonca too! I would switch that and say 80% will know who he is!
I remember that like it was yesterday. Challinor can absolutely fuck off. Seriously.
I suppose the one useful thing he could do is help Miles Leaburn to understand how to avoid being done by thugs like him.
Why don't we go the whole thug thing and get in as his assistant the Bristol Rovers bloke in who did Grant Basey, and Kevin Muscat in as Director of In-Game GBH. Yeah. People wanted us to "get nasty", so let's not mess around.
I respect your posts immensely.
I can see where you are coming from, not sure I agree on this one mate though
And that's just fine with me. Of course I was going a bit over the top, with my @blackpool72 use of language , but I really can't imagine myself warming to the guy if he took over. More importantly I don't see him being remotely up to the job. Sure we can look at young up and coming managers from a division below but he isn't young. He did eight years at Fylde, as you can see from Wiki. So he's doing OK at Stockport now, finally? So this makes him ready to step up a Division, and then take us into the Championship? I don't see it.
Generally btw there isn't much evidence of dirty/red mist players making good managers. Compare say Jack Charlton (good hard player) and Roy Keane (red mist to cover the planet). Can anybody think of a real dirty bastard, one who deliberately maimed his fellow pros, who made a good manager? Funny enough I think Kevin Muscat had a crack at it, but only in Oz of course.
This is gonna be the worst potential ITK post of all time but fuck it.
Darren Moore just gave a talk at my job. Whilst saying goodbye to people Moore stated he is staying in London overnight and the host wished him luck for tomorrow.
No idea what he's doing tomorrow but hopefully he's interviewing to be our manager.
Unfortunately it looks like the good luck may have been for Darren Moore appearing on transfer deadline day on sky sports, shame.
For clarification, Darren Moore did not cheekily wink at me at Asda
We would obviously be interested in Moore but would be surprised if he applied for the job, assume he will be hoping to be in the mix for the first struggling Championship club who sack their manager.
Darren Moore is in the studio as part of the SSN Deadline Day coverage.
"Great signing for Charlton there. I'm really looking forward to working with him, er watching him. From home of course."
He was a good manager for Wednesday after a slow start, but he had a very good squad we do not. So we do not know how good he will be with a small squad of poor players.
Just been reading an article on Northampton manager Brady … very impressive guy Australian talks good football , use to work in Northampton many moons ago but still have friends who rate him very highly and like the attacking style of football .. said he will move up to a bigger club sooner rather then later .

You may well be right about his management skills, but you are wrong in your assessment of being a dirty/red mist player which I have pointed out earlier. He received 1 red card in his career - for handball, which was rescinded. Not exactly a history of violence is it?
He was not fined by his manager for that tackle after all, the ref who saw the tackle gave a yellow. I am not sure how you conclude that it was deliberate.
I have not seen the tackle, but I am not writing him off on that basis.

Tbf he had a great record in league one with Doncaster with a much worse squad

While the traditional approach is for professional football clubs to recruit a manager/coach and then provide the players for him to do his job effectively, Charlton have decided to recruit a large group of random players few have heard of and then ask them to choose the new manager.
So the owners are happy for Chris powell to come in and mentor a younger manager, happy for him to be interim manager but didn't have him as no 1 target after sacking holden.
Something with their decision making doesn't add up

Robinson….likes the sound of his own voice.

Speaks the language of a decent manager..thats enough for me.

Curbs, Powell and Bowyer were on lower wages at first and none had managed before, other than Curbs was joint manager with Gritt.
I would've thought Nigel Adkins was on a better than average league 1 wage.
Pearce wins a few, gets the gig on the basis the senior guy comes in?
