If we're going for an experienced manager who knows the division then I'd rather go for someone who's achieved promotion.4

Appleton?
Come on guys, Appleton? Really?
Then again Methven, come on guys, Methven? Really?5 -
Going for Appleton not only ruins the interminable joke, but underscores we're a shit club in a shit league.swordfish said:

Including interim positions, he's managed or assisted in all four divisions and has been moderately successful in L1 with both Oxford and Lincoln without getting promoted out of it. I don't think he is poorly regarded within the industry though.
Whoever gets it I wish well and I won't be "done" with the Club, but I can't see him finding London and us an attractive proposition. I think it unlikely he'll take it if offered, but it depends how desperate for work he is I suppose.
Powell won't come, so for me it's really only Moore out of the names mooted that shows any ambition, and he strikes me as the sort of person who'd get the club. Maybe Nathan Jones - I do think he'd get us promoted, but showed his limitations in his last role.3 -
In a strange way, a lot of the people who don't want the job are the ones we need. It is possible, even likely, there is a gem out there but I would say the best 'interview' in terms of finding him is seeing somebody do the job and all those applying for our job will have suceeded and failed. That is why I favour giving Pearce a few games. Not because I know he will be a success, but he might be and if he isn't it is easier to go to option B. A new manager that fails will cost a lot of money.

It also shows what a good job the previous Southampton manager was doing!rikofold said:

Scott brown available after being sacked by Fleetwood31

Says a lot when the Fleetwood, yes Fleetwood, manager is sacked after a narrow away defeat to us!!!!!6

Whoever it is needs to be backed with decent experienced players and time.
We can't expect any long term success if we are constantly churning the squad with 10+ players each season.
Every year you have to expect that 1 or 2 of the successful players will be sold on. Will that money be reinvested?
It worries me that Powell turned us down because of the 'plan'.0 -

It used to be that a summer "rebuild" would consist of replacing a couple of players retiring, a couple coming to the end of their contracts and 1 or 2 being sold.
Now every summer we have to replace half the squad as 4 or 5 are out of contract, 5 loanees go back and we move on a few who are now out of favour.
It really can't continue.9 - Sponsored links:

Richardson is the one for me, want someone in the McKenna mold10

Richardson or Moore for me. Not convinced we'll get someone that's already in work and think Nathan Jones will hold out for championship interest.5

If you watched the game yo can see why .. one trick pony once we combatted that , Fleetwood was non existentMuttleyCAFC said:Says a lot when the Fleetwood, yes Fleetwood, manager is sacked after a narrow away defeat to us!!!!!1 -
Scott Brown next Charlton manger. You heard it here first.
Available and was at the Valley yesterday.
2/5 with some bookies.25 -
Do we know for sure that Chris Powell turned the role down “because of the plan”. Where’s that bit come from ? I’d have thought it more likely he wasn’t interested because he’s already got the tee shirt and probably after his associations with England and Spurs can have some very attractive coaching options without the hassle of tin pot club management.7

Sacking a manager two days after the window closes seems even more stupid than sacking a manager with a week to go!Better_redthanDead1 said:Scott brown available after being sacked by Fleetwood5 -
I don't really care if the new manager divides the fans as long as he gets us playing well and in the promotion mix. Let's face it, the fans don't really need an excuse to be divided on much.Redrobo said:As I said a while ago, Darren Moore is the only candidate that does not divide the fans.
on that basis alone he should be given the job16 -

I appreciate I'm feeding a WUM here, but, why? What has Appleton done to be considered over powell or bowyer?RonnieMoore said:

I would say as a guess (can't be bothered to research) that in two full seasons of managing us in l1, we got promoted twice with those as our manager.
as said above, im not a believer in managerial 2nd attempts but would have either of those in a heartbeat over below average Appleton.
I am always half glass full, last to turn against managers, players and owners, I believe that Kirk will come good!!!!! But Appleton!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -

These guys sacked Holden without a plan anywhere within a thousand miles as evidenced by their (reported) pathetic grubbing around to find a Holden replacement.7 -
Didn't Curbs try to sign him way back when. Unfinished business 🤔 My guess is that Appleton might end up at Fleetwood now, so they'll steel him out from under our noses 😉Henry Irving said:Scott Brown next Charlton manger. You heard it here first.
