You can always tell something big has happened at Charlton when ValleyOfTears starts popping up regularly with his brand of intermediate level trolling. It’s like the Mothman appearing
"Trolling" ~ the word some people apply to people who possibly have a different view to them and is used by people who are incapable of supporting their argument with the most basic of logic
In the era before things turned silly people used logic, reason, courtesy and argued their point. They weren't "trolling" anyone.

But yes ....something definitely BIG has happened this week in Charltonworld.
I hadn’t spotted the role of the “sporting director” of Global Football Partners in the appointment of Appleton, according to the club. What is his (Simon Lenagan’s) wider responsibility with GFP? Is he on the Charlton payroll too?

GFP, which has made the acquisition via its UK subsidiary SE7 Partners, is made up of seven shareholders with 5%+ each (detailed below). Those shareholders will sit on GFP’s Board of Directors, along with Finance Director Ed Warrick and Technical Adviser Simon Lenagan. GFP also has a small number of shareholders whose holdings are less than 5% each.
I'm guessing this implies SL is a shareholder, but <5% as his shareholding has not to my knowledge been confirmed.

As to whether or not he is on Charlton's payroll, your guess is as good as mine - but I wouldn't be surprised!
Ghana has sacked Chris Hughton after an early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations.
No thanks, he's terrible too
Yeah not for me. By all accounts a great guy from speaking to Brighton fans but managerially his time has gone.
Yeah seems a lovely bloke
We don't need a lovely bloke. We need a hard-nosed bastard that can keep us in League One and then build a side for a possible promotion push next year
I'll go for that. I think some fans want it both ways. They want a cultural Marxist woke FC where we are the most right on as you can possibly get bending to every last virtue signalling cack in the cosmos. And then we also want a no nonsense hard nosed Neil Warnock (def not woke!) to blast us back into the championshiposphere. Can't have both. I'll take the latter!

Give me a C Ceeeeeeeeeee Give me a U Uuuuuuuuuuuu
gotta pray the ref plays 12 minutes added time to get through that lot

OK, now you're back down to beginner level, that was rubbish

Thanks. Perhaps he’s technical adviser and sporting director - two roles for the price of one!
Rowett would be my ideal choice. I know his managerial career has been a bit hit and miss but he really got Millwall moving and playing decent football. I can't see us getting him though as he's probably holding out for a championship job.
Jones wouldn't be a bad shout but there's something I can't put my finger on with him. I feel like when the pressure is on he loses the plot a bit.
Duffy is probably the most "get-able" one for us and I wouldn't be disappointed with him.
I'm a no for Warnock, Lee Johnson, Powell, Bows or Curbs

Simon Lenagan has played more than just two roles!
Googling him is a veritable rabbit hole.
He is co-founder of an app that is used to develop and execute training for students and athletes, called Competence Development https://www.competence.team/
I hope we don't rush into a rash (and cheap) decision again. I'd say give Fleming a month and if he's doing okay, extend it til the summer and you never know, against all odds we might even find he's our new "messiah".
Scott’s informed the Liverpool board that Michael is the outstanding choice.
He's coached at the highest level!
Yes, but only at Leicester where he assisted under Shakespeare and Puel for a year, and did two games himself between the two as caretaker boss, although both were wins.
Some may remember I had an obscure personal connection to Appleton ( my wife's friends daughter in law is MA's wife's best friend). His family home is in Cheshire and that was never going to change however long he was with us. Given the length of his last two assignments you can see why they wouldn't move.
Although I never met him socially I had hoped he would succeed.I felt the game was up when the crowd turned against him at Orient. I don't understand why he wasn't gone before Tuesday and on a human level I felt sorry for him.
The window interested me. I was excited by Coventry and Ladapo's signings and found it bizarre how the mood seemed positive pre Burton only to pivot back with interest immediately following the defeat.
Whoever we appoint next needs at least two clear years ( unless we get relegated). I hope as a fan base we support them and allow them time.
By far this is the most depressing time to be an Addick and we need to unite again as a fan base.

Don't think he'd drop to L1
