  • Reckon Fleming and Pearcy will take charge tomorrow and maybe Saturday, glad he’s gone. Andy needs to get the next one right!

    We can't have Cooper as you can't have two really ugly managers in succession. It just isn't right!
    I make you right. Bring back Dowie.

    Football isn't Rocket science !

    We do need bounce back ability though which is difficult when you are in quicksand.

    I alway remember one of the last training session Dowie performed as they showed it on the local news and the players were really enjoying their selves and showing some great form ?
    Playing cricket!
    The beginning of Richard Murray going from hero to Zero began with the appointment of Dowie.

    He has gone, he was told on Saturday night, the set up for the next few games was arranged yesterday, it hasn't been announced yet, is because of legal stuff! 

    I have reconfirmed 3 or 4 times with different sources, and same answer every time..

    Always going to be difficult to keep quiet when he doesn’t turn up to training on Monday. Imagine a statement will be forthcoming very shortly.

    Why did they give this clown the January window and let him bring in his own players

    Why did they give him the job in the first place, they must have been the ONLY ones who thought he was capable

    These guys are clueless
    Spot on. Unless Scott decided who was coming and Appleton had little, if any, say.

    Possibly thought the same as me, that with decent players he'd be ok. Not good, but ok.
    They could give him until the end of the season and then make a decision.
    I expected us to win on Saturday with a good performance and we were absolute rank and it was obvious that even with new recruits they weren't playing for him and as good as gave up just after HT when the 2nd goal was conceded.
    He had to go immediately, no question.

  • Glad he has gone. However having 3 managers in a season is frankly embarrassing. Huge pressure on Scott to get this next appointment right. 
    ...so far

    Maybe they wanted to keep him to help pursuade Coventry to come. 👍

  • What will this mean for the Michael Appleton stand? Will it still go ahead?
    Love it!
  • Easy job being a manager, if it doesn't work out you get a nice payoff and onto the next role. 

    Appleton came across as not giving a shit. At least Holden took time to learn about the club and showed a bit of pride. Bad appointment 
  • Seems pretty certain that he's gone, the question is why on earth haven't they announced it yet?

    It'll take all afternoon to finish the Instagram/TikTok video
  • I'm desperately hoping for a first sighting of Chris Powell having a coffee at the Toddington Service Area to be reported!

    That coupled with the fact we have a game tomorrow.

    Well can I just say that isn’t very likely to happen.
    It will be a temporary appointment regardless.

    I don't have any inside sources but thought this was worth a share,

    I went for my morning trip to Aldi and went to pick a bunch of red apples. At the top of the pile was one lone rotter. Before I got a chance to pick it off the pile and throw it away, a store assistant with the name badge 'A.Scott' intervened, grabbed the rotter and said 'don't worry fella, the reds deserve better than that'. He then booted the bad apple down the fruit and veg aisle, turned and gave me a wink before he got back to his shop floor duties. 

    Make of that what you will 

    Thanks for sharing that true story 🤥

    After much thought🤔 I believe you should've gone to Sainsbury's 🍎

    Some of whom happened to have played for Appleton before...
  • If this turns out to be true at least we can relax in the knowledge of that Appleton picture won’t be posted.

    He definitely has gone. Mutual supposedly.
    Sauce?

    I'd imagine that Apples had little to no say in who they brought in. That seems to be the way these days with head coaches and DOF. He just gets given the tools and told to get on with it. All the gear, no idea as far as apple sauce is concerned.
  • Steve Cooper spotted at London bridge getting into a taxi 👍😀
    Asked to go to Copers cope road, Beckenham 👎😞
