If Appleton stays we are in serious danger of going down.
Have you seen our stats?!?

I would also say that even with a change of manager that could easily happen. May getting very animated recently may suggest there is disharmony in the camp. If that is the case it will be very hard for the next manager to rectify things. The club is rotten to the core and I fear this could be the season we play 4th division football.
I think the disharmony is with the manager.
The managers are a shield of the incompetence from above imo. Scott immediately needs to go, the other two once the Yanks have looked elsewhere.

They could replace Rodwell and Scott with Curbs and Brownie Curbs by his own admission has lost touch with what players are out there but he knows how a club like ours should be run better than anybody.
Mental night, never seen a team clearly turn on the manager before even going down the tunnel before, never thought I’d celebrate a sacking in the oak either.
What happened exactly at the end?
A number of the senior pros including dobbo just stood in the D chatting.
They weren’t rushing down the tunnel, so something was obviously up
The only explanation is they knew what was coming, so did Appleton, so begs the question why was he even in charge for the game?
He was clearly told he had to win it to keep his job and that is why we were still trying to win it after the sending off.
How do you know, you were at the theatre weren’t you? I don’t think their keeper made a save all game, I’d argue we didn’t try nowhere near enough to try and win it.
He made a great save from May shortly before they won it

Exactly.
Not sure why everything has to be a conspiracy theory these days. They'd obviously made their minds up that time had more or less run out and he had one last chance to prove he was worth keeping.
I said in the match thread, almost regardless of the result the performance was poor, in my view. So disjointed and lacking any cohesion. You could argue that both of our goals owed a lot to good fortune, which, ironically, we have been sadly lacking for most of the season.
We lost, so they pulled the trigger. Which I thought was what most people seemed to want.

Absolutely this! An act of gross incompetence and negligence in hiring Appleton. I don’t blame MA - he had as much right as anyone to apply but how he came out on top I would love to know. Scott must go.

Their keeper pulled off a couple of decent (1-2 even worldie) saves. We also had one blocked on the line (by a handball, admittedly hard for the ref to see in real time)
I think the signal was there when TC was brought in to play RWB it was do or die time
But by then the damage had already been done (by starting Jones over Thomas/ignoring Louis Watson entirely/not even having Asiimwe on the bench)
Feel sorry for Appleton.....should not have been placed in that position. Had no luck and had May's goal went in then could be a different story. Would love to see Warnock come in but it won't happen....also think the Americans will pull their money at some stage with these incompetents running the club and we could seriously be in the shit......

Finally.. makes more embarrassing they allowed him to take this game.. Monday’s press conference was all smoke and mirrors I think.. he was going whatever the result was!

You should know. What do your chums say ?
As I said, it’s all bit confusing and a mess.. got told that Wednesday he will go whatever the result.. wasn’t expecting it straight after the game

Andy Scott can do one as well. He's as much to blame as Appleton is.
Andy Scott is certainly in the last chance saloon but I want him to prove he can get a manager who can inspire and organise and impress the fans with his football more than talk which is cheap as chips.
On the positive side, at least we weren't stupid enough to sell our most dangerous striker to a rival League 1 club, that we are about to play, while fighting relegation.
Must be a worry. Remember Appleton was hand picked by the board.
After the appointment of Appleton Scott said and I quote, ” Michael was the stand out candidate and his proven track record is there for anyone to see” Christ what were the other people who applied for the job like then?
Stand out candidate omg 😦 . Can see nothing but relegation now I’m afraid as the next 5 games are real difficult. Can’t see many points from them. Absolutely shocking 😮
All I’ve been doing this morning is saying sorry to my 7 year old son. Dad has got you supporting a complete basket case of a football club, I’ve not been this disconnected to football since I was 5 years old.
Appleton should never of been appointed and it won’t improve unless Scott goes. He hasn't been successful anywhere.
Why would any proven manager take on Charlton?
Those of you kidding yourselves we are anything other than a laughing stock in football are mad.

To be fair he was …. It was between him and the Cowley brothers and Neil Harris

Proven track record? Scott didn’t notice then that he was sacked from Blackpool for 1 win in 12 straight games.
Trouble is there pride wouldn’t even consider asking or consulting him.
Isint this the same lot who did ask Chris Powell if he would work alongside Holden?
And your point is?
Well quite obvious really. They didn’t seem to have an issue with pride when speaking with Chris Powell, so why would they with Curbs if they felt it necessary?
But only to assist, did they think that would ever be acceptable? Plus not wanting to be wrong about their own expertise.
And why are you sticking up for them!
I’m not sticking up for anyone, it’s not the school playground.
Im just pointing out what I think is a flaw in your logic. I don’t think pride will have anything to do with whether they would ask Curbs or not. It is whether they rate him now or not, and that’s a different conversation.
The role they may have considered for Powell was insulting to the man and I can’t imagine too many managers would welcome someone being brought in as a mentor/advisor.
Curbs is like the ‘Elephant in the Room’ it’s so obvious to everyone bar those in charge, he should have some role/ be consulted, assuming he’d be interested, which I imagine he wouldn’t and who’d blame him.

You’re never too good to go down, we are awful…
Disagree .. we finally have owners in charge that want to take the club forward we seen that with the investment made .. but this decline started right back under Richard Murray in the last years of Alan Curbishley .. Murray made a lot a of strange calls , financially he out is on a slippy slope and we never recovered .. and the decline , assist stripping whatever you want to call it as continued through Slater / TJ brought to the club by Varney who lost their backer then basically tired to sell every assist we had and even offered the valley back to the council .. then RD , the crooks enough said and TS who wanted to be successful but did not relise the cost … but finally we have a group who will take this club forward but it’s not going to happen in 6 months , 1 year it’s going to couple of years to get this club stable again .. …. So no we are a club trying to stand still for a period of time .. stability is the word Charlton need that both in the boardroom and manager position
Curbs is 66 years old and I doubt very much he would be interested in the manager's job.
But his knowledge of all things Charlton and football in general would make him a much better choice than Andy Scott when it comes to running the football side of things. Scott out, Curbs in would be a huge step in the right direction.

Fleming to be interim.
I give him 2 months
now a top half finish will be seen as some sort of achievement, hate my team atm.
the players on paper are good enough.

That really would be a sackable offence.
